How to Evangelize People: The Complete Series

All he wants to do was host a simple show about evangelism. Instead, the Narrator is saddled with two assistants who not only steer the car toward the cliff, they try to add booster rockets. When they aren't accusing the Narrator of being a Communist or debating the deliciousness of turducken, they sometimes, if the mood suits them, actually illustrate how and how not to share the Gospel. An evangelism aid disguised as a screwball comedy, or perhaps the other way around, 'How to Evangelize People' is something you've never seen before.

Dramatic Duets

When it comes to making them laugh or making a point, it doesn't have to be either-or. These scripts address the issues of abortion, marital strife, trusting God, church, safety, spiritual gifts, battling the devil, and struggling to live a life of faith. It's a serious moral wrapped inside a slightly silly sense of humor. Each drama is written for two actors.

You can also find the individual scripts here.



The Bible offers a history of a people of faith, but it rarely gives us a glimpse of the day-to-day lives of those who lived it. Neither are we privy to the actual conversations these people had with one another. It’s so easy to see Bible characters as larger than life figures that we forget they were also human. 

These duets and monologues that offer a fresh perspective on the lives and faith of Biblical figures from the Old Testament. Characters include Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah, Abram/Abraham, Sarai, Isaac, Moses, Aaron, Pharaoh, Caleb, Nahbi, Joshua, Samuel, Saul, David, Nathan, Daniel, Darius, Hosea, and Gomer.

Dramatic Duets (part of this collection)

Abandon all Hope – This duet explores how difficult it can be to trust God when times just seem to get tougher and tougher. Sometimes a Sunday School answer isn’t enough.

Computer Couple – This duet examines why we sometimes need a break for all our online communication. Too much time on the internet can hurt the relationships we value the most, and there’s something to be said for the value of face-to-face communication.

Down that Road – This duet examines the struggle of facing down our own temptations and helping friends face down theirs. Often, the ones who can help us the most are the ones who’ve been down the road we’re on.

First Feline Church – This duet examines Cat and Dog theology and the church. If you feed a dog, it thinks you’re God. If you feed a cat, it thinks it’s God. We can have the same sense of entitlement in our Christian lives, and taken to extremes, it’s not a pretty sight.

Gilda Does Something Funny – This duet examines learning how to trust God to work out the finer details, using the example of one of the funniest women of all time, Gilda Radner. That’s right, a Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player is a spiritual lesson for us all.

Mabel and Ethel – This duet examines the frustrations of parenting children you may not like all the time. These two older women must also confront the fact that their children are grown and living lives of their own, and how scary it can be to trust in God when it comes to their kids.

One Cross Martyr – This duet examines what does and doesn’t count as suffering for Christ. Sometimes we think that being a general nuisance counts as martyrdom, when in fact, we’re just being insufferable jerks who are doing more harm than good for the Gospel message.

Pro-Life Church – This duet examines what it truly means to be pro-life. It’s easy to say you’re against abortion, but what happens when it’s teenage girls in your own community? How can you say you’re pro-life when you reject the girls who keep their babies?

Safehouse Sam – This duet examines why always avoiding adversity can lead to a very empty life. Yes, a life of faith, of going where God leads, can put us in some dangerous situations. Sometimes life-threatening. But sometimes taking that risk is how we minister to the world, and sequestering yourself away from all danger means you never do any good, and you never grow as a person or experience the blessings God has for you

Satan is Coming to Town – This duet examines why the fight against evil needs more than empty gestures and feel-good symbolism. Some of the Enemy’s biggest weapons are out hubris and pride. To truly combat evil, we’re going to have to humble ourselves, have some faith, and roll up our sleeves.

The Book of Jason – This duet examines why the book of Jonah is still very relevant to our lives today. We see the story from an entirely different perspective, but the message is the same. Our hero struggles with the idea that God loves and forgives people he hates, and he’s not to keen on being an instrument of God’s grace to those very people. It’s something we all can still relate to today.

The Call to Serve – This duet examines what it means to truly answer God’s call to service. Sometimes it means abandoning what we think are the plans. It can mean choosing between good and better. Occasionally it means the people closest to us, those who share our faith, will question our decision when God’s plans interrupt theirs.

The Counselor is [In] – Taking a page from Charlie Brown, this duet examines why being a Christian is not a guarantee that you won’t have problems. Our main character is having a tough time of it and can’t seem to catch a break. What’s worse, the usual Sunday School answers don’t help, as he’s doing everything right and still struggling. He exposes the dirty little secret that we Christians like to keep to ourselves. Perhaps it’s time we’re more honest with each other.

To Your Own Powers Be True – This duet examines why it does no good to mope about how you aren’t gifted, because that won’t change anything, and you ignore the ways you are. While this duet involves superheroes, it can be anyone who’s jealous of another’s gifts or talents. It’s important to understand that when we embrace our own gifts, we can do truly great and heroic things.

What a Man Wants – This duet examines why communication in marriage is essential. He wants to tell her how he really feels, and she doesn’t understand him.

What a Woman Wants – This duet examines why communication in marriage is essential. She wants to tell him how she really feels, and he doesn’t understand her.

What They Both Want – This duet examines why communication in marriage is essential. They want to tell each other how they really feel, and neither one truly understands the other.

Peter and Paul - This conversation occurs between Peter and Paul, soon after Paul rebuked Peter for not eating with the Gentiles. They talk about what’s really motivating Peter to reject his fellow believers, and Peter must confront his insecurities, especially when around his friends.

Paul and Barnabas - This conversation occurs between Paul and Barnabas right before the two part ways. These two old friends argue about why they are splitting up and find that saying goodbye is harder than they expected.


Let's Build a Church
(part of this collection)

A Couple’s Conundrum – A couple is faced with a difficult decision of whether to financially support this new building campaign. Do they trust God, or will they let money matters weigh them down? It’s a common situation many couples will face when they hear the message about the building campaign, and it’s good to acknowledge that reality.

Action Action News – A news anchor is upset that a story about a church’s building campaign doesn’t have enough excitement, doom, and gloom. He’s frustrated by the lack of panic and wondering how it is people can trust in God so much that they faithfully give to this building campaign.

Back in My Day – Two people argue about whether there is actually a need to build a church or add onto what they have already. It’s a conflict between those who think things are fine the way they are and those called to build something new.

Bandages and Lollypops – A patient in need of care discovers what happens when a place advertised as a hospital can’t help him. If only they had invested in more infrastructure, they would be able to help more people in the community. A cute parable for why building a church benefits everyone, and what happens when a church isn't interested in working to reach their community.

Don’t Panic – We see that sometimes it’s easy to panic when you consider how everything could go horribly wrong. It’s easy to find flaws in your building plans, simple to second guess and predict failure before it even starts. A person can succumb to panic when they forget to have faith. They need to remember that if this is God’s will, it’s going to happen.

Kid in the Box – A boy named Jack is stuck in a box far too small for him. His mother refuses to help him out of the small one and into a bigger one. A silly but clear illustration about the problems of growing churches who’ve run out of room.

Land of the Giants – Two scouts enter the area their church plans to build and see a problem. One scout thinks this is nothing they can’t deal with, but the other sees an unstoppable giant who will destroy them all. This is a humorous retelling of the Promised Land spies and how they doubted God could overcome the giants they faced. It’s a similar situation to what your church may face when you decide to build. Yes, there will be giants, but you can overcome them.

The Cornerstone – After the first stone in the building campaign is laid, it’s time to celebrate. Of course, it might not seem that way, what with all the work still ahead, but it’s important to celebrate getting this far. Sometimes the hardest part is getting to place the first stone, and it’s good to celebrate and thank God for getting you that far.

The Enemy – A young woman comes face to face with The Enemy and learns how to fight back against his lies and doubts. We learn that if there’s one thing that will throw a wrench in your building campaign, it’s doubt and discouragement. We need to understand where it comes from and how to deal with it.

The Shoulder Consultants – An Angel and Devil do battle when a church begins a building campaign. They argue as the humans they’re tailing deal with faith and doubt over this new building.

What’s Your Excuse? – A game show tests contestants on making the very best excuses to get out of all sorts of situations, from family obligations to supporting a church building campaign.

You Call This Cooking? – A chef apprentice learns the hard way that to truly be a master chef, one first needs the right equipment and a well-built kitchen. It’s a cute analogy that illustrates the need for a proper building.
