Parenting sometimes feels like holding the controller too tightly—trying to keep our kids from falling into traps or making bad decisions. But here’s the truth: they were never our avatars to control. We’re not their Savior, we’re not their primary quest giver. Our role? Point them toward the real Hero of the story—God.

Let’s be real: relationships can feel like trying to beat a boss fight on the hardest difficulty setting—with no save points. Whether it's with our families, teammates, guildmates, or even randoms in matchmaking, people can be… well, complicated. Some connections feel like toxic lobbies we want to leave. Others are like spawn points we didn’t choose but are stuck with. Either way, life’s social game can get messy.

But what if we could view all these interactions through a different lens—more like a mission from a loving game designer who’s inviting us into His story?

Let’s be honest—sometimes it feels like life’s running on an old server. Things break. People betray. Hope crashes. You grind in the dark and wonder if it’s even worth playing anymore.
