Boss Encounter: Herod vs. the Newborn King | @PastorNfluence

What do Pokémon gym leaders, WoW raids, and King Herod have in common? A boss fight you didn’t see coming.

In this message, Pastor Nfluence continues our “Life & Lore of Jesus” series with an epic moment from Matthew 2:7–12. Herod vs. Jesus isn’t just a power struggle—it’s the first boss encounter in the Gospels. But like every great raid, victory is already written in. From sneaky political moves to unexpected God moments, this one will level you up in joy, discernment, and purpose.

👑 The Magi didn’t just bring gifts—they brought a prophetic picture of who Jesus is: King, Priest, and Savior.

🎮 Whether you're hunting Invincible in WoW or seeking purpose IRL, this message will hit your heart and your gamer brain.

👉 Drop your favorite boss fight in the comments & let us know how God’s showing up in your story.
