The Glitch of Exhaustion: Finding Rest in a Simulated World

Added 2024-12-22 22:40:40 +0000 UTC

Hi Players,

Today’s sermon, "The Glitch of Exhaustion: Finding Rest in a Simulated World," is now available as a downloadable MP3! In this talk, I explore the idea of exhaustion not as failure, but as a glitch in life’s game—a signal that it’s time to pause, recharge, and recalibrate.

You’ll hear me reflect on:

How exhaustion shows up as a reminder to adjust and care for ourselves.
The importance of delegation and building a supportive multiplayer team (yes, that includes you!).
How life might be like a simulation, and what it means to "play well" rather than grind endlessly.
Why rest is an essential gameplay mechanic, especially during this busy holiday season.

This is part of our ongoing exploration of how gaming lessons can help us navigate real life, and I hope it resonates with you during this hectic time of year.

I’ll be capturing some gameplay footage to complement this talk for a video release later, so stay tuned! As always, thank you for supporting The Church of New Game+. Your contributions make this community and its message possible.

GG,
Derrick
