A two-team showdown. Fast, loud, and fun — but every round is really asking one thing: does this renew you… or wreck you? God built rest into creation — but don't let recreation become wreck-reation that owns your time and mind.
"Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while." — Mark 6:31 · "Whatever is true, honorable, just, pure… think about these things." — Philippians 4:8
Great game — but here's the truth behind it: recreation should refresh your body, mind, and spirit for God's work — not wreck your grades, sleep, or walk with Jesus. The real win is learning to rest on purpose.
How to Play — "Rest or Wreck"
🎯 The goal: Two teams compete across 4 rounds teaching one truth: God gives rest as a gift, recreation should renew you — but hobbies, screens, and "fun" can become wreck-reation that masters you instead of refreshing you.
