The Value of Board Games w/ Michael Thiessen | Reforming Nerdom - Ep. 35

In this episode of Reforming Nerdom, hosts Nate Wright and Jordan Cecile sit down with Dr. Michael Thiessen of the Ezra Institute to explore the surprising ways board games can shape character and strengthen community. From the kitchen table to game nights with friends, we discuss how playing together can help cultivate patience, strategic thinking, humility in loss, graciousness in victory, and the joy of shared stories. Along the way, we consider how board games can be a tool for Christian hospitality—drawing people in, breaking down barriers, and building lasting friendships. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just thinking about dusting off a deck of cards, this conversation will help you see the eternal value hidden in your next game night.
