A two-team showdown. Fast, loud, and fun โ but every round asks one thing: does this phone habit keep you freeโฆ or leave you hooked? Steward your time and guard your eyes. Don't let the phone own you.
"I will not be dominated by anything." โ 1 Corinthians 6:12 ยท "The eye is the lamp of the body…" โ Matthew 6:22
Great game โ but here's the truth behind it: your phone is a tool, not your master. Stay free with boundaries, pure eyes, and redeemed time; get hooked when notifications, scroll, and midnight reels own you. The real win is refusing to be dominated โ so the phone doesn't run your soul.
How to Play โ "Free or Hooked?"
๐ฏ The goal: Two teams compete across 4 rounds teaching one truth: phones can bless or bind โ steward your time, guard your eyes, protect real relationships, and refuse to be mastered by the scroll. Not anti-phone; pro-self-control.
