THROWBACK THURSDAY!: After years of using Google to successfully search for everything from song lyrics to pot roast recipes, it appears we have finally learned that there is one thing that Google could not find… a winning strategy for their now-defunct streaming game service, the Google Stadia. Stadia promised to deliver a AAA gaming experience that could compete with the likes of Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and Steam… all without the expensive price tag of a console or high-end gaming PC. The good news is that Google’s take on a streaming service seemed to deliver on many of its’ promises, allowing participants to play many of gaming’s most prestigious titles anywhere they chose to play… the bad news is that after three short years Google’s dream of owning a piece of the lucrative gaming marketplace is officially over.

Join us as we reflect on the one CRITICAL mistake that Google made with Stadia, and share the lesson we learned about our own often sacrificial walk with Christ. As His followers, we must “count the costs” and accept that there will be many parts of our journey that don’t result in the level of measurable success that we had hoped for or planned on in the timeframe we anticipated. And if we “count the cost” with the understanding that “carrying our cross” often includes accepting loss on this side of the journey, we will find that the exponential returns that await us on the other side of this equation will far outweigh the temporary sacrifices we are making now.
