High school was an overall good experience for me. I have many wonderful memories and made some incredible friends; however, there are other parts of that time in my life I’d rather forget. One of those experiences better forgotten is playing the awful game of truth or dare. Those of you wholesome enough to make it out of high school without participating in this armpit sweating competition should thank your lucky stars (whatever that means). Truth or dare is basically a game of chance where you are placing your life or reputation into the hands of a group of people who expect a cheap laugh at your expense. It is a schoolgirl version of Fear Factor. In this game, each individual must choose between telling the truth or performing a dare. Most of the time telling the truth involves questions such as “Are you in love with Matilda Johnson?” or “Have you ever kissed that girl with the mustache?” You were expected to tell the truth about their question no matter what. Choosing dare meant that your cruel “friends” could challenge you to do things such as eat something disgusting or kiss the girl with the mustache. I usually opted for truth since my life was pretty dull and I didn’t have much to hide, except I was jealous of the girl with the mustache. This game has everything to do with being out of control and placing your fate into the hands of others.

On Sunday, September 7 we will be launching our first service at The Summit and also begin a four-week series called “Truth or Dare.” Using each of the Gospels, we will examine the truth about Jesus Christ and dare people to place their lives into His hands. This is a series for the skeptical, the broken, the insecure, and the rebellious. I hope you will join us for this life-changing series! Weekly gatherings will be held at the Regal Interstate Park Cinema 18 in Green, Ohio. We will begin at 10:15am with a time of worship lead by The Summit Band.
