DO NOT FEAR MAN
MINOR DECISION: THE AVATAR
Before the game begins, Nheil needs a professional avatar for the company's communication channel. Choose one:

B) Social media profile pic (+3 points: Wise choice, pero wag kang galit)
C) Formal 1x1 photo (+5 points: Looking sharp!)
Setting: Modern office, Monday morning. Nheil (Alex) enters nervously. Christian (Jordan) and Ray (Sam) are chatting.

Nheil! Welcome to the team. You're going to love it here. We work hard, play harder!

Fresh meat! Hey rookie, we're hitting happy hour after work. It's mandatory fun - everyone goes, even the boss!

SCENE 2
HONOR AUTHORITY WITH INTEGRITY
Tuesday morning. Christian (Jordan) approaches Nheil's desk with a stack of files.
CHRISTIAN (Jordan)
Nheil, Joziness needs these quarterly numbers "creatively adjusted" for a report. Everyone does it. It's how you get ahead here.
RAY (Sam) (Whispering as he walks by)
Be careful, Nheil. I did that once. I still regret it.
"The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them."
Proverbs 11:3 KJV
MAJOR DECISION
A) Alter the numbers to keep the job secure.

DON'T DECIDE WHEN TIRED
Friday. Nheil looks stressed and tired. Meek (Michael) approaches.
MEEK (Michael)
Big party tonight, Nheil! You coming?
NHEIL (Alex) (To audience)
It's been such a long week. Mom’s still in the hospital. I'm so tired... maybe I just need to get out and forget everything.
BONUS OPPORTUNITY
HOST (Jem)
Meek asks, "Saan kaya magandang pumunta?" You could go to Padi's Point, Chilltop, or Tipsy Pig... Just kidding! No vote applies here. But, we will give you a free 5 points if someone from the audience comes up and gives a short testimony about the recent youth rally or missions conference!

SCENE 4
WAIT ON GOD
MINOR DECISION: THE BOSS
As Nheil enters the office, how should they address their boss?

B) EYYY JOZIBOSS! (-10 pts: Feeling close?)
C) [Call him how everyone at the office calls him] (+5 pts: Good job, you've been paying attention)
CHALLENGE: Before we reveal the points, we need someone to come up front and share their salvation testimony. If no one does, the second most-voted choice becomes everyone's choice!
JOZINESS (Mr. Harrison)
Nheil, I'm offering you a fast-track promotion. Six-figure salary, benefits that would cover your mother's treatment... but you'll need to work Sundays. It's for our new casino account.

Nheil respectfully declines the specific role but asks for promotion in a different department, showing loyalty and integrity.
SCENE 5
LOOK TO THE FUTURE
RAY (Sam)
Nheil, I've been watching you. You have a peace I don't understand. I grew up in church but walked away. Seeing you makes me wonder if I made a mistake.
CHRISTIAN (Jordan) (Interrupting)
Don't let Nheil brainwash you, Ray! Religion is for weak people!
BONUS OPPORTUNITY
HOST (Jem)
Looks like Christian is challenging you for a debate! Should you use the "Pastor Jerry pose" with your right foot forward? Or with both hands up? Or just admit "Di ko kaya si Brother Christian"? None of these are valid answers! Instead, choose one person from your group to come up and briefly answer how they would respond to Ray if they were in Nheil's shoes. For your troubles, you'll get 10 points!
"...be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you..."
1 Peter 3:15 KJV
MAJOR DECISION
A) Avoid the conversation to not rock the boat.
B) Share the Gospel boldly and lovingly.
C) Invite Ray (Sam) to church.

Path C: Gentle Invitation +5 points
Nheil offers a simple, non-threatening next step by inviting Ray to church to see for themself.
Final Outcome: The YBC Recap
HOST (Jem)
The story is over. Every decision has been made. It's time to tally the final score and discover the fate of next Sunday's YBC Recap...
