Faith Meets Gameplay: IMD’s Mission to Redeem Video Gaming for God’s Glory
In a world increasingly dominated by digital entertainment, one organization is boldly stepping into the video game space with a Gospel vision.
Intelligent Media & Design (IMD) is a nonprofit ministry creating high-quality, biblically grounded video games designed to engage young people with Scripture. IMD develops and publishes immersive, gospel-centered games that are offered completely free of charge, with the goal of discipling the next generation and supporting the local church in outreach and biblical literacy.
The inspiration for IMD struck Drayton Cosby nearly a decade ago. Through prayer, the Lord put on his heart to reach the next generation right where they are. This place, he realized, was the video game space—an area that desperately needs biblical content.
What the Latest Supreme Court Term Means for Christian Communicators
In a recent NRB member webinar, Michael Farris, NRB general counsel, offered insight into the recent Supreme Court term—briefing members on decisions over the past year, highlighting encouraging trends, and equipping Christian communicators to respond with clarity, confidence, and discernment. The webinar was hosted by Allie da Silva, senior communications strategist at NRB.
While the Court hears dozens of cases each year, this discussion focused on several that directly impact NRB members’ ability to live out and speak biblical truth, particularly in areas of religious freedom, parental rights, and free speech.
Farris characterized the overall tone of the term as hopeful: “Things are going in a good direction…this was a very encouraging Supreme Court term.”
NRB President & CEO, Troy A. Miller, spoke with Tony Perkins on “Washington Watch,” Kristen and Kurt Luidhardt on “Liberty Spenders,” Jeff Kirk on DFE News, and Jeff Stein on News Talk KXEL.
