LIFT or DRAG

A two-team showdown. Fast, loud, and fun โ€” but every round asks one thing: does this friendship habit lift you toward Godโ€ฆ or drag you down? Friends are a gift โ€” steward your circle. Show me your friends โ€” I'll show you your future.

"Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm." โ€” Proverbs 13:20  ยท  "Bad company corrupts good morals." โ€” 1 Corinthians 15:33

WINNER

Great game โ€” but here's the truth behind it: friends are not the enemy. God designed community. The win is a circle that lifts โ€” not a crew that normalizes lies, disrespect, or sin. Say no with courage. Be the friend who sharpens iron. Choose your future on purpose.

How to Play โ€” "Lift or Drag?"

๐ŸŽฏ The goal: Two teams compete across 4 rounds teaching one truth: friendships carry cause and effect โ€” choose crews that lift toward God, be the right friend, and say no when pressure corrupts. Not anti-friends; pro-wisdom.
