Gaming Alone

Nearly all American teenage boys— 97 percent of them—play video games. On average, they spend more than two hours a day maneuvering in digital worlds. For two out of five teen boys, that feels like too much time . They’re probably right. Though it’s impossible to draw a direct link, it’s hard not to notice that as gaming grows , males are falling farther behind girls in school, in joining the work force, and in starting families. As Reformed Christians, we aren’t ready to give up on video games yet. In this episode of Recorded, Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra examines why boys are more likely than girls to be addicted to video games, why playing with people online doesn’t mean you have more friends, and what it looks like to bring video games under the lordship of Jesus Christ.
