A two-team showdown. Fast, loud, and fun โ but every round asks one thing: does this friendship habit lift you toward Godโฆ 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
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?"
