His Voice, Your Choice
About This Script
A CHILD is troubled after friends tell her she has to follow all of their “church rules” or the devil will “eat her for breakfast.” Her GRANDMA and GRANDPA share Jesus's story of the sheep who know their shepherd's voice, and a SHEEP and a WOLF-in-sheep's-clothing act out what it looks like to recognize—or fall for—a false, manipulative voice.
