Episode 166: Wisdom for Parents of Gamers with Drew Dixon

Thanks for being a part of our Living Wholehearted community, shrinking the gap between what we preach and how we live. This week, we are talking about video games! Are you a parent who is confused by all the controversial opinions about video games? Are they okay for our kids? When do they become a problem? Which games should our kids play? We have friends and clients who confront these questions daily. To shed some light and offer some wisdom on this topic, Drew Dixon is our guest for this episode.

Drew is an Executive Editor at Penguin Random House. He is an accomplished freelance writer and editor, with articles published in Relevant, Christ and Pop Culture, World Magazine, Christianity Today, and Paste Magazine. He is a public speaker, co-host of Humans of Gaming, co-founder of Love Thy Nerd, and he has traveled all over the world to spread the Gospel at nerd conventions. Drew also is the author of the recently released book Know Thy Gamer: A Parent's Guide to Video Games.
