Should You Put your Worship Service on TV? – Videoguys
In the blog post “Why Shouldn’t Your Church be on Television?” by Phil Cooke for Church Production, the author argues that traditional broadcast television remains a valuable platform for pastors and ministry leaders, despite the rise of digital media. Cooke presents several reasons why television is still relevant and impactful for spreading religious messages:
-
Adaptability of Platforms: As new media platforms emerge, older ones adapt rather than disappear. Television continues to adjust and find its place alongside digital platforms.
-
Wide Reach: Television still reaches vast audiences, as evidenced by the continued broadcast of major events like the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards on TV.
-
Accessibility and Demographics: TV is accessible to a wide variety of audiences, and many people inadvertently discover religious programming while channel surfing.
-
Credibility: Broadcast television is often perceived as more authoritative and credible than other media, making it a trusted source during emergencies and crises.
-
Communal Experience: Television provides a communal viewing experience, where large numbers of people watch the same content simultaneously, fostering a sense of togetherness.
-
Multisensory Appeal: The combination of visuals, spoken word, and music on television creates a powerful and engaging experience that can deeply resonate with viewers.
Cooke emphasizes that television is far from obsolete and remains a potent tool for evangelism. He encourages pastors not to dismiss TV outright due to cost or misuse by others but to recognize its potential for reaching a diverse and widespread audience with a message of hope.

Cattle Country Reveal Trailer Promises A Sim Game That’s Stardew Valley Meets The Wild West
Publisher Playtonic Friends (the publishing arm of Yooka-Laylee developer Playtonic) and Blossom Tales developer Castle Pixel have revealed Cattle Country, a simulation game that’s Stardew Valley meets the Wild West. If its first trailer, which was revealed by IGN today, is any indication, farming/townbuilding sim fans will want to keep an eye on the game.
The reveal trailer gives us a great look at what to expect, which includes ranching, treasure hunting, mining, farming, and, of course, romancing. The game is coming to PC sometime in the future, but there’s no release date or window in sight. Cattle Country’s Steam listing simply says the release date is “to be announced.”
Check out the Cattle Country reveal trailer for yourself below:

As you might be able to hear, the Cattle Country reveal trailer is narrated by Red Dead Redemption 2’s Arthur Morgan, or rather, Arthur Morgan’s voice actor, Roger Clark.
“Cattle Country straddles the saddle of cozy wholesome gaming and action-adventure,” the game’s Steam listing reads. “Serving up hours of the slice-of-life you’d expect on the frontier – including mining, fishing, crafting, and farming – along with deep-rooted Wild West quests delivering stories of romance, cattle drives, bandits, and robberies.”
Here are some Cattle Country screenshots:
While waiting to learn more about Cattle Country, read Game Informer’s Stardew Valley review, and then read about Stardew Valley developer ConcernedApe’s next simulation game, Haunted Chocolatier.
