Armor of What?

Well, this drama could be called “The Dilemma 3.” I enjoy writing monologues where we get inside someone’s head as he/she is sitting in church. Pre-recorded voice over works well here (again) until the Pastor comes in and starts talking with him. I’ve always loved the verses from Ephesians 6 that talk about the armor…

What’s the Difference?

Director’s Notes: I find it extremely easy to understand why fellowship is ranked up there with prayer and Bible study. I’ve been in a small group for 15 years and there’s no doubt in my mind that the fellowship, transparency, accountability, and study has kept me on the narrow road… This drama is really emphasising…

Yes or No?

Director’s Notes: In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us to let your “‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ `No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” Jesus is bringing up an  issue of integrity. Where do you stand on this issue? Is your word as good as gold? Can people rely on you if you…

The Hike

Director’s Notes: When we become Christians, we say “Take my life, Lord.” We then enter an exciting journey, walking down the narrow road. Unfortunately, it’s easy to become comfortable at some bend in that road and decide that this is far enough for now. I wrote this drama to make a point that we need…

Stickey Situation

Director’s Notes: Every now and then I wear a rubber band around my wrist that reminds me of something I need to do. I thought, “what if someone had something on them to remind them of stuff they’ve given (and need to continue to give) to God?” Of course, I took this to the extreme……

Think About It

Director’s Notes: While this drama is about diffusing criticism, it can also be used to teach people about the dangers of fatalism – that anything we do ultimately doesn’t matter. Cast: Beth: A woman who serves in child care. Dave: A condescending man who’s fatalistic views of the world bring Beth to frustration Props: Some…

The Comfy Christian

Director’s Notes: This is another drama about misplaced priorities. It’s easy to put things in front of what God has for us. In this case, it’s comfort (always a tough one for me!) When it comes to Lordship, it’s more than just “Time, Treasure and Talent” – it can be anything that keeps us from…

Listen Up

Director’s Notes: Wow. A pretty normal drama. We are always too busy to listen – both to God and others. God’s Word says that we need to be slow to listen. It’s only then that we discover true fellowship. Cast: Emily: A mom at home, watching soaps and ignoring her daughter. April: Emily’s daughter Props:…

The Run

Director’s Notes: This was a drama I did a couple of weeks before Promise Keepers where I was encouraging the congregation to ‘Go the distance.’ Christianity is not a sprint. It’s a long distance race and we need to run to win. The race in this script obviously is a metaphor to our own walk…

The Dilemma

Director’s Notes: The original everyman in church, trying to figure out what in the world tithing is all about. Pretty funny stuff if you ask me… I like to do pre-recorded voice over (V.O.) in some dramas. It’s really effective because it allows us to hear what someone is really thinking. So, just record the…
