    Not sure why Jamie’s Bible Study has so much pinball content, but I’m sure the show will eventually find Jesus! Keep the great episodes coming!

Tim Sexton joins the JBS Show with Jamie Burchell
Q: And what transitioned the move to Play Mechanics?
Sexton said he wanted a long-term, stable way to contribute to pinball by building strong teams and making great games. After conversations with Josh Sharpe and others at Play Mechanics, he chose the challenge of helping build something new, without leaving Stern because of bad blood.

Pinball Roundtable LIVE from the Seminar Room at Pinball Expo 2026
