Maybe you read the email subject line before opening this and thought, “How ridiculous!” Or maybe you thought, “Wow, that’s controversial. Where is this going?” Or maybe you thought, “Finally! Let’s duke it out and declare a winner.”

There’s only one episode left in our first season of EXP! You can think of it like a capstone. How can games become a tool in our spiritual growth? Now that we know more about why play is good for us, and now what we’ve thought that through with computer games, trading cards, and sports, how can we let games live up to their full potential and help us level up the most important part of our lives?

Check it out in your inbox next week to catch the grand finale.
