Graphic Word: Recent Episodes

We are a nerd focused ministry that seeks to engage young heroes to level up their lives! We do this by interacting with nerd content/culture, connect it to The Bible, and bring a level up challenge for our lives and faith.
We are staying up and walking with Jesus through his roughest night in John 18. Getting betrayed, having illegal trials, and questioned in who you are with the threat of death in the balance; but this was all part of Jesus' plan. How will you walk with Jesus through times like this?
Jesus is in last moments of freedom before he gets arrested (spoilers) and what does he do... he prays for his disciples and for us (here and now)! Join us as we read John 17 and get to be a fly on the wall of Jesus praying over his disciples, for us, and what his heart is for us following him!
Jesus is letting the disciples know two things: he is going to be leaving them soon, but they have another companion who will always be with them. In John 16 we get the rundown of how the Holy Spirit works with Jesus and the Father, as well as the promise of not being alone in our struggles in life.
SPOILER WARNING for WIND BREAKER Ep.8!!!!! If you are fan of this new series you'll love the dive into the latest Dub episode featuring the fight with Hajime and Tomiyama with a headbutt that changed a leader. Sometimes God gives us those headbutts to get our heads/hearts right with Him. How does that look? Check it out here!
We are having a Big Biblical Steak in reading John 14 & 15! Reading through Jesus' last words before his arrest and giving them some reassurance.
Jesus is getting into feet washing mode while doing some call out! Things are getting heavy as Jesus' day/night with his disciples has arrived!
In what was Jesus big entrance, he is still talking about his death, which is confusing a lot of people in John 12. Listen/read along with us we understand how Jesus sees his death as a coming victory!
Jesus makes a friend of his a zombie (not the brain eating kind) and the Pharisees start planning on how they are going to take out Jesus. It's getting really intense, and yet it's all going according to plan for Jesus.
We are diving into how Jesus whos His love and the Father's love to us as a shepherd and a gate? A bit confused? Check out our reading of John 10 in Nerds in the Word!
We are looking at another comparison between a blindman and the Pharisees, Jesus is in getting into the thick of it with this one in John 9!
Jesus is really throwing down in John 8, but not throwing rocks! Watch and see how Jesus exposes the hearts of those around Him with His light and reveals who he really is!
Things are getting in-tents, as we read through John 7 and see the plot thicken to have Jesus killed all the while he is talking about the "living water"....
Hey Nerds, join in as we look into John 6 where Jesus not only opens a one day restaurant, but then calls us to dine on him.... What does he mean by that? You'll have to check it out!
Diving into the John 5! How does Sabbath laws and calling out Pharisees connect in the eyes of Jesus? We are going to elaborate on that!
We sat on Matthew 13 and did some self reflecting on the parable of the seeds/soils. It was real, it was open, and working on leveling up in faith/life.
Diving into John 2 where we are seeing Jesus acting very different to two different scenarios. What' at the core to these two events? You'll have to listen to find out!
Welcome to Nerds in the Word where we will be reading a chapter of the Bible every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. After our reading we talk about the context of the chapter and how it applies to our life. Lets get nerdy in the Word!Reading of John chapter 1

We dive into what were the three biggest invisible battles of LOTR and what are the invisible battles that we face today (connecting to 2 Kings 6 and Matthew 10:16-21). Lets make the invisible visible and get into the battle!
One of the best moments in LOTR is when Gandalf faces the Balrog in Moria. Even though he dies, he comes back leveled up in power. That's pretty intense. But what stands out is the trash talking he does to the Balrog. It kind of reminds me of how Jesus is able to tell off a bunch of demons (more like a Legion) to get out the man in front of him. So how does that connect with me and how can I be more like Gandalf/Jesus?
When things seem to be chaotic around you, how do you keep perspective? Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings had this kind of moment to ponder what really mattered and how to hold on to that. Listen in on how we see Paul doing the same thing while writing to Timothy!
Not may people are proud feet and you would think a Hobbit would be the least of all people to be proud of them considering how hairy they are. However, there is something about these feet; they can go anywhere. those feet helped saved Middle-Earth; kinda reminds me of another pair of feet that didn't look great at all, but brought the best message humanity could ever have!
In a world that is very much a dog-eat-dog fight out there you should be a fighter too, right? But look at our man Goku and how he demonstrates what Jesus challenges us to do; to love our enemies!

Ever been in a situation where people who should be on the same team, but don't feel like it? It's about the same feeling as Magneto joining the X-Men. Oh wait... that's a thing.... Has this been the same feeling you get around fellow Christians? Sounds like we need to talk about what unity and how we go about that! Check it out here!
Jujitsu Kaisen is a rising anime that bring us an interesting use of curses. Apparently, in the show, curses can be used for both good in evil. However, we see a different view on that Biblically and how that effects not just us, but people around us. Join us as we Level Up in our lives/faith in understanding what sin is, how it impacts us and the world around us, what Jesus did about it, and what do we do about it while following Jesus.
