Do you find yourself wanting a deeper understanding of the Bible, yet struggling to carve out the time or knowing where to begin? Maybe you long to grow closer to God through His Word, but feel overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it, or at times discouraged by your experience of attempting to study it.
As a team of Christian technologists and game designers, we asked ourselves a question: Could a mobile game help people explore the story and purpose of the Bible in a meaningful way? It took us over four years of development, but the result was The Serpent & The Seed, a free, narrative-driven, mobile Bible adventure game.
But why build a Bible game at all? What role can technology, especially something as often dismissed as gaming, play in helping people engage with God's Word? |

Hardly any passage of Scripture is better known than the Ten Commandments. Even outside the religious community, these ancient God-given laws are commonly cited or referenced.
Unfortunately, however, we often think of them as austere, heavy-handed, or threatening. The old language of "Thou shalt not" has a punitive and perhaps angry feel, at least for some of us.
Let's think, then, of the Ten Commandments more like marriage vows between God and his people. This image reframes them as promises between two parties of faithful covenant love and commitment. |
| Prayer, in its simplest form, is about relationship. It is about being in the presence of the God who made us and loves us.
When we learn to pray throughout our day, we remember we are not alone. We sense more deeply and intimately that God is with us in our pain, depression, sadness, and fear. He is also present at the heights of joy and times of delight. From the valleys to the mountaintops, God is near, his door is open, he is present.
The Bible is filled with stories of women who encountered God in stunning ways, who cried out to the Lord in the highs and lows of life, and who experienced extraordinary power poured out from heaven. |
