The Shepherd at Work
Saturday, February 7, 2026 - 25 minutes
It didn’t start with games.
It didn’t start with a vision statement.
It started with a big, buff guy… and a chicken quesadilla.
In this episode, Krystal sits down with Travis Combs, Founder of Kingdom Forge, to tell a powerful, unexpected story about mentorship, obedience, and the kind of relationship that quietly shifts everything.
One ordinary interaction became a divine appointment.
A mentor stepped in.
A relationship with God began to grow.
And a life took a completely different direction.
Travis’ story reminds us that we rarely see the full impact of our obedience—until God lets us hear the story from the other side and reveals how a simple, faithful relationship can forge a new calling.
Today, Travis is taking back gaming for the Kingdom.
Through Kingdom Forge, he’s putting creators, ministries, and leaders in the driver’s seat—helping them turn faith-based and wholesome game ideas into playable experiences that don’t just entertain, but speak to the soul, stir the heart, and reflect the love and truth of Christ.
At Kingdom Forge, the mission is clear:
to build games with lasting Kingdom impact.
In this conversation, you’ll hear about:
-
How one mentor relationship redirected an entire life
-
Why gaming is one of the most overlooked mission fields of our time
-
What it looks like to pursue excellence as an act of worship
-
How faith, creativity, and technology can work together without compromise
-
Why not every calling starts in a church—but every calling can glorify God
Kingdom Forge operates on values that shape both culture and craft:
excellence in all things, loving people well, open and honest communication, and an intentional commitment to creating only what glorifies God.
This episode is about more than games.
It’s about influence.
It’s about stewardship.
It’s about saying yes when God puts someone—or something—unexpected in your path.
You may think your small interaction doesn’t matter.
You may think your industry is too far gone.
You may think faith and creativity don’t belong together.
This story will challenge all of that.
Because sometimes, God uses a chicken quesadilla
to forge a Kingdom future.
