Ride-or-Die Connections
Hey, fam - let’s talk deck real talk.
We’re diving into those connections that don’t care about our bank accounts, our follower count, or where we’re from. We’re talking about those relationships that are pure, unfiltered, and totally non-negotiable.
There’s this biblical wisdom in Proverbs 17:17 that hits different: “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.” That’s not just words - that’s our lifestyle.
When we say “I got you,” we mean it from our core. It’s about showing up when:
The lights are low
The odds are against us
Our world’s falling apart
It doesn’t matter if we’re rolling in cash or counting pennies. True connection? That’s the currency we can’t buy.
Our Ride-or-Die Mentality
We’ve learned that life isn’t about the highlight reel. It’s about who stands beside us during the behind-the-scenes moments. Who’s there when the cameras aren’t rolling? Who believes in us when we’ve stopped believing in ourselves?
That’s our non-negotiable.
What Non-Negotiable Really Means for Us
Unconditional Support: No judgment, just pure acceptance
Consistent Presence: Not just when it’s convenient
Radical Honesty: Telling each other what we need to hear, not just what we want to hear
Our Scripture Speaks Truth
Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 nails it: “Two are better than one… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.”
Our Deck Takeaway
Life’s gonna throw curveballs. Our relationships are our safety net. Whether it’s a friend who’ll bail us out at midnight, a partner who sees our soul, or a passion that keeps us grounded - those are our non-negotiables.
So here’s our challenge: Be that person. Find those people. Create those connections that don’t have a price tag.
Because at the end of the day, we got each other. And that’s what’s truly deck.
