How do you find your way in life? In video game development, we use pathfinding algorithms and steering behaviors to move characters around. Looking at Paul's life, it appears God uses similar techniques.

You may have heard it says that life is a marathon, not a sprint. It's an apt metaphor, especially when trying to follow Christ. When I read the writings of Paul and Peter, the race they describe doesn't sound like a fun run or a couch to 5K or even a 100-meter dash. It's an endurance race requiring perseverance through tests, challenges, and setbacks.

Video games are a tutor to help us understand an aspect of God’s character that has been hard for us to comprehend.
