Star Wars vs Star Trek

Faith & Fantasy
Griffin flying with text "FAITH & FANTASY" and "LEGEND HAVEN".
How do faith and fantasy fit together? Why does faith keep inspiring bigger and bigger stories, and why do stories inspire greater faith? The secret is Christ, Lord of Lore & Legend, with the gryphon as his symbol of God & Man, Eagle & Lion.

Gaming & Storytelling
A PlayStation controller with glowing blue and purple light, surrounded by shattered fragments. Text: "GAMING & STORYTELLING."

Magic & Superpowers
