“All the mistakes and choices, the wrong decisions, the lifetime of shame? Forgiven. Did I deserve it? No. Did He offer it freely in love? Yes, to even me.”
Even Me tells the story of Zaccheus, the demon possessed man, and the sinful woman and their powerful encounters with Jesus. Throughout Jesus’ earthly ministry, and through today, we see Jesus' love for all people displayed in how he forgives, loves, and challenges those that are despised, hated, and rejected. No matter our background, sinful past, or circumstances beyond our control - Jesus offers forgiveness and hope to all. Even You. Even me.

“He made Him, who knew no sin, to be sin for us. So that in Him, we might become the righteousness of God. This is substitution. This is atonement. This is the exchange.”
Using a judge and jury as a metaphor, this spoken word sketch shows that without Jesus Christ, we would all be guilty in the eyes of a sinless and Holy God. However, a substitute was provided! Jesus, God’s only son, took the penalty and punishment for all men. He himself was the substitutionary atonement that provided a way to the Father. Without His sacrifice, we are guilty. With His sacrifice, we can be free from sin’s curse and deemed not guilty!

Three students stand amidst the ‘mess’ that is their life. Facing spiritual warfare, questions, and lack of hope, these students are reminded of what they truly need to conquer the fears and doubts that come from the enemy. Outlining the armor of God, this sketch walks through each element in practical ways and shows how each piece of the armor truly provides what we need to face the spiritual battle each day. We may live in the mess, but we can stand through the power of God’s Word.

“I’m just asking if maybe grace doesn’t stop at the edge of our comfort. Salvation open to anyone...really mean anyone.’”
Two friends return to their youth group Christmas party to help after heading off to college. While cleaning up with a friend, they learn that the class bully, who traumatized them, is now volunteering in the youth group. They face their anger and frustration and learn that forgiveness comes from the Father first, and is truly offered to all. That because He forgives, we must do the same - no matter the offense.
“God has something just as amazing and miraculous for you in store. It starts with Jesus. And it starts right here.”
Right In Front of You looks at characters in the Gospels who had physical encounters with Jesus. They saw the very Son of God, in the flesh, right in front them. But how did they choose to respond? Told through the eyes of shepherds, Pharisees, and soldiers, students will be reminded that while they may not physically see Jesus, His presence is real. So how will you choose to respond to Him? For He is here, ‘right in front of you.’
“So yes, something has to die for me. But that’s not all, something has to die in me.”
This spoken word sketch deals with the fears, anxieties, and frustrations that students face day to day. Reflecting on the mistakes of their past, the anxieties of the present, and the uncertainty of the future, students realize that in order to find freedom and hope, something has to die. It is Jesus. Through his death, we find the hope we deeply long for - by dying to ourselves and trusting Him for our future.
“Until then we wait, we hope. We carry His presence in this dark world. We shine the light. And we remember, through it all, He has been, He is, and He always will be, with us.”
Taking us through the Old and New Testaments, we are reminded of moments where God is with his people. From the garden, the tabernacle, and the words of the prophets, God’s presence was evident. A gentle whisper, a pillar of fire, the Holy of Holies, and the sending of His own Son Jesus, Immanuel. God has always been with us. The piece culminates with the tearing of the veil when Christ died on the cross and rose again - allowing us full access to the Father through the presence of the Holy Spirit.
“No matter what I do, or what I mess up, He always loves me. And that identity makes me want to live my life in worship of Him… and share that love with others.’”
Two teens are raising money for their summer mission trip. They are selling candy in their school and engage in conversation with a friend who does not know the Lord. She questions their motives and challenges their faith while asking important questions of her own. Students will see that worship is woven into the identity of believers and can be used to share the message of Jesus.
“When there are things of this earth you hold on to so tightly and can’t surrender, run to me. For I am your hope. My name is Abba.”
Run To Me is a spoken word drama that reminds us of the character of God and His power in our lives. The actors share Scripture describing the character and nature of God through the many names of God listed in Scripture. In the end, students are reminded that God is an ever-present hope in their life as they surrender all of who they are to Him.

“Sometimes we have to lay down what we think is right for us right now, in favor of what God knows is best for us, in the future.”
Using a video game as an illustration for life, Pause is a comedic and heart-warming look at teenage relationships and how to deal with disappointment and failure. Sometimes life seems easy and everything goes the ‘right’ way, other times, it doesn’t. No matter what we face, there are moments when we need to pause and find where God is working in our lives and follow Him, even when that means surrendering things that we want or love. Only in true surrender do we find the direction and purpose that we seek.

“He looked down and saw me…I mean really saw me. I was healed, He had healed me. The leprosy was gone and with it, the years of shame and isolation.”
He Saw Me is a combination of three Biblical characters woven together: The woman at the well, the woman with the issue of blood, and the leper. Amid their loneliness and pain, Jesus entered their story and saw them for who they were, and who they could become! Students will learn of the power and love of Jesus as He sees us all, no matter where we find ourselves.

“If the Lord Jesus Christ died and rose again so that I could be saved, He does for the Huaorani too. Whenever my husband would be afraid, I would hear him say ‘He is not fool to give what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.’”
He is No Fool is a fictional retelling of the events following the martyrdom of missionaries Jim Elliot and Nate Saint. Following their death, a reporter visited the missionary’s wives in Ecuador to tell the story. Through this story, we hear historically accurate details of the mission work to evangelize the Huaorani tribe, as Elizabeth Elliot and Marjorie Saint express their devotion to the Lord and their love for the Huaorani tribe.

"These are more than stories, they are reminders of God’s heart for the lost. He cares deeply that when even one is dead in their sins, they would come to know the goodness of God.”
The Lost Trilogy is a light-hearted re-telling of the parable of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Lost Son. The actors perform as narrators, storytellers, and characters that creatively portray the story of each parable. Each parable points to God’s heart for the lost and the celebration that occurs when the lost are found.
"God’s plan for your life is not so fragile that it can be derailed by something like where you might want to go to college, or even if you want to go to college at all.”
"May we look through the eyes of God, may we join the angels next time so we can really see, that the lost finding Jesus is the celebration that the world needs to see.”
Root For the Home Team is a spoken word piece that illustrates the difference between how we celebrate our passion for sports or our sports idols, and how we celebrate the work of Christ in the lives of those around us. This script points us towards seeking those that are lost, emphasizing the importance of our role in leading people into a life-giving relationship with Jesus and the eternal celebration of the lost becoming found.
"We are here in the East of Eden living in the aftershock of our rebellion, grappling with the consequences of what we chose, and what we gave away.”
East of Eden is a spoken word piece that depicts all that was lost during the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. Illustrating the joy and beauty of God’s creation through the eyes of Adam and Eve, we also see the devastating nature of sin and the loss of relationship with God the Father. In the end, the question is posed of how we can restore that broken relationship and find our way back to the Father.
"For You are perfect in power, in love, and purity..."
This is a piece of spoken word written in verse form attempting to describe the splendor, majesty and Glory of God knowing it will fall short but trying anyways.
"Will you trust the shepherd to take you home?"
This is a highly theatrical sketch where three actors tell three different parables, the parable of the great banquet, the parable of the hidden treasure and the parable of the lost sheep.
"Your frame was not hidden from me when I created you in the secret place when I wove you together before the beginning of time."
This piece contains two fractured monologues from a man and a woman, both who has a distorted view of self. The concept of reflection, reflecting and what it means to be truly seen are themes throughout this piece. In the midst of the two monologues there is also the personification of Truth who speaks the text of Psalm 139.
"Your words have consequences... and taking responsibility for your actions is the right thing, regardless of the outcome."
Three friends meet in the school cafeteria after one of them makes an offensive joke in class. This piece touches on the theme that the way you live each and every day is as much of your mission field as when you go oversees on a missions trip.
