PLAY MORE
A Case for Play
Play More offers a compelling invitation: to rediscover the transformative power of play in education, parenting, faith, and life.
Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, educational theory, and lived experience, Play More explores how play shapes the way we learn, grow, connect, and believe. From ancient paths of discipleship to modern breakthroughs in game-based learning, this book reveals why play isn’t childish—it’s essential. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, pastor, or student of life, Play More will challenge your assumptions, spark your imagination, and offer practical tools to reintroduce joy and curiosity into every sphere of influence.
Through stories, research, and biblical insight, you’ll discover:
-How Jesus used play, wonder, and storytelling to disciple others
-Why modern brains are wired for playful learning
-How to design learning environments that spark exploration and creativity
-How to foster spiritual formation through games, projects, and play-based mentoring
-Why reclaiming play might just be the most faithful and fruitful thing we can do
This is a book for anyone who’s ever asked,
“Does it have to be this boring?” or whispered, “There’s got to be more.”
There is. It begins when you choose to Play More.
