The Transformation
About This Script
PAT and TAYLOR are rattled to learn that Chris-the-Crusher, the bully who got expelled after hurting TAYLOR, is back at school and coming to church with their friend LEE. When “Chris” shows up going by the name CHRISTIAN and claims to have given his life to Jesus, PAT and TAYLOR refuse to believe someone so “bad” could really change — until LEE reminds them of another unlikely convert the church just studied: Paul, formerly a murderer named Saul.

BRAVE suggests a Bible story that might help, and the scene shifts to three spies returning from Canaan: faithful CALEB, and the fearful NAHBI and GEUEL, who can only see the giants.
