Send us Fan Mail"Envy quietly steals joy, distorts God’s goodness, and damages relationships. Scripture exposes its danger through Rachel, Leah, Saul, and others, while teaching contentment, gratitude, and trust in God’s provision. Are you comparing anything in your life with others instead of recognizing God’s goodness?"We walk through how envy works in the human heart and why Scripture treats it as a serious spiritual danger, not a small personality issue. We also build a practical path toward contentment in Christ through Genesis, Paul’s letters, Proverbs, and a simple gratitude challenge when life is hard. • Transitioning into the Genesis 'JOE' season and why dramatized Scripture still carries real spiritual power • Expository preaching as a way to let the Word set the agenda and confront hard topics • Rachel and Leah as a clear picture of envy, jealousy, and discontent inside a family • Biblical examples of envy in Cain and Abel, Saul and David, and the Pharisees toward Jesus • Jealousy versus envy and why they are closely related but not identical • Envy versus admiration and how to check what is happening in our hearts • Contentment as “great gain” and why desire for riches becomes a snare • Money as a tool and the danger of letting money have us • Proverbs 30 on neither poverty nor riches and the spiritual risks of having too much • Thanking God in trials because He is with us even when feelings say otherwise Please click on the underlined links throughout. If you want to get the devotion mentioned, click underlined link below:📬 Truth to Carry Through Your Day — Daily Devotion Sign-Up! 📖  Click Here! Genesis 'JOE' @ Calvary Chapel Southport — https://playsonword.networkforgood.com/events/105117-26-genesis-joe-11-14-6-30pm-sat-show-1-man-biblical-play-calvary-chapel-southport-oak-island-moose-lodge-banquet-hall-ncTo find out more, check out our website at playsonword.org.If you enjoy Christian podcasts, Calvary Chapel stories, ministry behind-the-scenes moments, and biblical storytelling that sticks with you, hit play and come along.

Today we explore filtering everything through Christ’s cross, resisting temptation, renewing your mind, and letting the Holy Spirit transform your responses. What comes out when you're under pressure?"We build a simple framework for filtering everyday reactions through the cross of Christ, so our words and choices start matching what we say we believe. We contrast the “old filter” of flesh and cultural pressure with a renewed mind shaped by Scripture, conviction, and the radical love of Romans 5:8. • The cross as a practical filter for hurt, anger, and temptation • Galatians 2:20 as a daily personal confession • The “old filter” of deceitful desires and pride • Guarding inputs when media desensitizes the mind • Recognizing the Holy Spirit’s still small voice of conviction • Revisiting H.A.L.T. as a dashboard for vulnerability: hungry, angry, lonely, tired • Taking intrusive thoughts captive instead of entertaining them • Asking “Did Christ die for me to do this” before reacting • The cross revealing the seriousness of sin and the cost of grace • Romans 5:8 as God’s clear demonstration of agape love To find out more, check out our website at playsonword.org.FIRST STOP on OUR TOUR:SANDY COVE MINISTRIES — Family Vacation 2026: https://www.sandycove.org/family-vacation/FAMILY VACATION 2026 Offers a Variety of Packages for each of the 4 week sessions:Summer 2026 Speakers• July 5 - 10 (Joe & Denise Holman)   - Pastor Fred Kenney, Jr. - Evening Speaker and Life Coach this week• July 12 - 17  (Curtis Zackery)• July 19 - 24  (Richard Dahlstrom)• July 26 - 31  (Peter Reid)It's NOT too late to register for a remaining week here: https://www.sandycove.org/family-vacation/book-now/Recent Podcasts about Sandy Cove!Ep 176 (Part 1) https://www.buzzsprout.com/2110391/episodes/19294639Ep 177 (Part 2) https://www.buzzsprout.com/2110391/episodes/19297013Check out the rest of our Tour Schedule here: https://www.playsonword.org/calendarIf you enjoy Christian podcasts, Calvary Chapel stories, ministry behind-the-scenes moments, and biblical storytelling that sticks with you, hit play and come along.

Send us Fan Mail"Today on Plays on Word Radio, we get a behind-the-scenes story from the Calvary Chapel East Coast Pastors conference in Philly. We also get a quick preview of a possible John the Baptist presentation that is currently downloading."(Please click on the underlined links throughout.)A nine-hour drive, a tight schedule, and one missing sermon upload set the stage for a chain of events we still can’t stop laughing about. We’re fresh back from the Calvary Chapel East Coast Pastors Conference in Philadelphia, and the encouragement was real: thousands of pastors worshiping hard, singing hymns and new songs, and getting poured into by seasoned Bible teachers. That kind of gathering doesn’t just inspire you for a day, it refuels you for the long haul of ministry leadership. But the funniest moment hits when we’re trying to solve a very practical problem: getting the Sunday message online while conference Wi-Fi crawls. A quick request for help turns into an unexpected walk through the back offices, a fast connection, and a conversation we never saw coming. Then the plot thickens when a true Calvary Chapel legend sits down right next to us, and we’re doing everything we can to stay calm, keep it respectful, and not completely geek out. We also share why these conference relationships matter for church planting and for Plays On Word Theater. They lead to real partnerships, prayer support, and invitations that open doors for gospel-centered creative work. To top it off, we preview what’s coming next: a 'PETE' presentation and a new John the Baptist play idea that starts at the chopping block and digs into humility, bold truth-telling, prison, and the hard questions that surface when obedience costs you something.East Coast Pastors Conference / 2026 Resources (click this underlined link)If you enjoy Christian podcasts, Calvary Chapel stories, ministry behind-the-scenes moments, and biblical storytelling that sticks with you, hit play and come along.

Send us Fan Mail"DO you understand how the Resurrection of Jesus is the greatest FEAT in all history? Today, we continue with our examination of the empty tomb and its implications for US."You can spend your whole life trying to become a “better swimmer” and still never cross an impossible ocean. That is the tension Pastor Teddy (Fred David Kenney Jr.) presses today as we return to the Resurrection Sunday message and sit with the implications of the empty tomb. The claim is simple and disruptive: we do not rescue ourselves with good works or spiritual upgrades. Jesus comes to us, removes the chain of sin, and brings us to God.We connect the resurrection of Jesus to the Bible’s deeper threads, including the third day pattern and the Feast of First Fruits, then we open Isaiah 53 and follow the prophecy beyond suffering into life that continues. From there, we lay out a memorable case for evidence with FEAT: Jesus’ Fatality, the Empty tomb, His Appearances, and the Transformation that follows. The disciples are changed, Mary Magdalene is changed, and the risen Christ still changes people across history, including stories of hope that surface in the darkest places.The conversation also gets personal: do we treat prayer like a quick ritual, or do we live like we actually have access to God Almighty? We talk about Jesus as the Light of the world, how we become lamps only because He lives through us, and why gratitude should shape our daily walk. We close by taking communion together and pointing everything back to “It is finished”.Please click on the underlined links throughout.

Send us Fan Mail"Have you considered Job? Job reveals suffering’s purpose through messianic hints: a heavenly witness, an arbiter, and the declaration of a living Redeemer. These themes point to Christ as mediator and kinsman-redeemer, offering hope beyond guilt, accusations, and pain."Job is usually treated like a book you survive, not a book you savor. We come at it from a different angle: Job as a Christ-centered story packed with messianic prophecy, mediation language, and resurrection hope that shows up long before the Gospels. If you’ve ever wondered why suffering can feel so personal and God can feel so distant, Job’s words are strangely direct, and they push us toward a solution that’s bigger than willpower or good advice.We walk through four distinct passages where Job’s pain breaks open and a clear theological signal shines through. Job longs for an “arbiter” who can stand between him and a holy God, then he insists he has a witness in heaven who will testify for him. From there we hit the line that has carried generations through grief: “I know that my Redeemer lives.” We connect those statements to core Christian doctrine about Jesus Christ as the Divine Mediator, Advocate, and Intercessor, and we talk honestly about why that matters when guilt, shame, and accusations start to feel louder than grace.Then we dig into the Hebrew word Goel, the kinsman-redeemer, and trace the redemption pattern from Job into Ruth and ultimately to Christ’s incarnation. We also zoom out to the full narrative: Job’s friends offer confident but wrong counsel, God answers from the whirlwind, and the twist is that Job becomes an intercessor for the very friends who misjudged him, a powerful type of Christ. If you want deeper Bible study, biblical theology, and a fresh way to read the Book of Job, press play, then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.This program was made possible by the Plays One Word family of supporters.

Send us Fan Mail"Today on Plays On Word Radio, we continue our discussion with our dear brother, pastor, author, and worship leader Harold B., as we delve into the meaning of true worship."What if worship isn’t about the song you sing but the choice you make when sin crouches at the door? We sit down with pastor, author, and worship leader Harold B to reframe worship as obedience, presence, and love that moves from the private prayer closet into the messy beauty of team life. Starting with Cain and Abel, Harold walks us through the moment of decision where God’s grace offers a real option and our will either yields or resists. That hinge—choose God’s way or your own—becomes the truest test of worship.We talk about carrying God’s presence into every space, not confining Him to a set or a sanctuary. Harold shares how desire for God must be formed by Scripture, meditation, and repentance, and how many of us need to unlearn our assumptions before we can live worship the way God intended. From there, we pivot to community: loving God with all we are, then proving it by loving our neighbor. Teams become the training ground where forgiveness is chosen before feelings, humility outruns talent, and submission to leadership shapes character. Practical rhythms matter—praying for one another during rehearsal, inserting Bible study into practice, and creating space to confess and heal so the song comes from a whole heart.Drawing on the Levite pattern fulfilled in Christ, Harold reminds us that the torn veil means bold access for every believer. When two or three gather in His name without agendas, unity becomes power. We dive into the costs and rewards of this path: carrying your weight, dying to self, honoring authority, and letting your life sing louder than the mic ever could. If you’re a worship leader, a volunteer, or simply someone who wants your choices to honor God, this conversation clears the fog and points to a lifestyle that changes atmospheres because it surrenders first.If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with a friend on your team, and leave a quick review with one takeaway you’re choosing to live this week.

Send us Fan Mail“From Babel’s pride to the ark’s single door, Genesis traces a unified thread toward a promised King that converges in Christ. Question: How do Joseph’s rejection and exaltation deepen your understanding of Christ’s first and second comings?"A scattered tongue at Babel and a single open door on an ark don’t just make memorable scenes—they chart a path across Scripture toward a promised King. We follow that path with open Bibles and honest questions, tracking how God overturns human pride with patient promises, how signs and stories become waypoints, and how two prophetic lines—the coming man and the coming God—meet in one person.We start with the tents of Shem and the Shekinah hint that God intends to dwell with his people. Noah’s ark stands as a living parable: one door, judgment kept at bay, and a preacher of righteousness calling anyone who will hear. From there the focus tightens to Abraham, whose name is made great not by tower-building but by trust. The promises to Abram—nation, blessing, a seed—build a scaffold for hope that stretches to every family on earth. In the laughter of Isaac’s birth we hear the echo of a greater miracle in Mary’s womb; on Moriah we see wood laid on a son’s shoulders and learn the name the mountain still bears: the Lord will provide.Then Judah steps forward with a scepter and a clue: Shiloh is coming. Early readers knew the word as shorthand for Messiah, a signal that royal authority would stream from one tribe until the true ruler appeared. Joseph’s story brings the pattern into focus. Rejected, sold, thought dead, and then lifted to the right hand with authority, he receives a Gentile bride and offers forgiveness to the very brothers who betrayed him. His second appearance to them is not humble; it is glorious and undeniable, a scene that foreshadows how we expect Christ to return—with splendor, justice, and mercy.Along the way we unpack why firstborn expectations keep flipping, how typology works without being forced, and why the call remains urgent: the door is open today. If you’ve ever wondered whether the Bible’s earliest chapters actually cohere, this journey shows a single thread running through Noah, Abraham, Judah, and Joseph—tied securely in Christ, the door, the Lamb, and the King.

Send us Fan Mail"Today we look back on our time with our dear brother Vinnie Whitehead. His life touched multitudes of people for eternity. He is now in glory with his Lord, and we look forward to seeing him again."A good life leaves footprints you can follow in the dark. We remember Arthur “Vinnie” Whitehead — coach, teacher, elder, and friend—and trace the quiet choices that turned classrooms, gyms, and retreats into places where faith took root. Grief is honest here, but hope has the last word. We share the first handshake that felt like a challenge and a welcome, the late-night Bible study with an open door that drew men into Scripture, and the simple ways one person’s courage can become a community’s backbone.You’ll hear how a high school coach redirected a student from detention to Fellowship of Christian Athletes and changed the arc of a life. We revisit ministry threads that span Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, Crossfields, and local camps, and we include Vinnie’s own testimony—from a religious routine to a living walk with Jesus, through battle and breaking, to a faith rebuilt by steady, verse-by-verse teaching. It’s a picture of discipleship that grows slow and strong: prayer, Scripture, accountability, and service.This is also a frank look at time. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, relationships need repair, and the Gospel is too good to hoard. We hold sorrow and joy together, anchored by the promise of resurrection and the conviction that a life can preach long after the voice is quiet. If you’ve ever wondered whether small acts matter, this story says yes—welcome the newcomer, open your Bible, keep the door ajar, and finish strong.If this tribute encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can hear Vinnie’s legacy and meet the hope that carried him.

Send us Fan Mail"Today we continue our Spirit Filled conversation with our dear brother and sister Orlando & Gloria Burgos. Two people who the Lord used to greatly influence us for the Lord and even make Plays on Word Possible!"A single sentence can rattle a life. When a friend calmly said, “Believe what you want; I’m at peace with Christ,” it set off a time bomb that exposed our compromises, challenged our assumptions, and led to an eight-hour encounter with Scripture that changed everything. We share the journey from trying to cram the Bible into evolution to trusting the God who speaks, designs, and rules with purpose. The conversation is candid, funny in the way only old friends can be, and unflinching about the hard parts: idols, money, fear of people, and the offense of the cross.You’ll hear how a simple testimony outperformed a thousand arguments, why quiet conviction often does more than debate ever could, and how reading the Bible with an open heart can reorder your loves. We talk about contentment when jobs vanish, stewardship when opportunities appear, and the difference between using money as a tool and letting money use you. Proverbs 3:5–6 becomes a lifeline, reminding us to trust the Lord, refuse self-reliance, and acknowledge Him on every path. We also recover a neglected word—born again—returning to John 3 to explain new birth, daily surrender, and the war between flesh and Spirit that every believer must face.If you’ve ever tried to make faith “fit” cultural narratives to keep the peace, this story will nudge you toward a better peace—the kind rooted in God’s authority and the reliability of His Word. Come for the laughter, stay for the clarity, and leave with renewed courage to live a consistent witness.

Send us Fan Mail"What if your health story could change the way your church lives, serves, & worships? Pastor Steve Reynolds continues with us to unpack how a hard stop on exercise, years of eating like an athlete, & a brush with serious disease turned into a faithful return to movement, a 130-pound weight loss, & a practical framework built from Scripture."Pastor Steve Reynolds is back to take us behind the scenes of “Bod4God”—the sermon series that sparked a media whirlwind, front-page coverage, & books that meet people where they are with grace, honesty, & small, doable steps. We dive into the surprising places where faith and fitness meet: studying the word “body” across the Bible, embracing stewardship over shame, & seeing Genesis as a blueprint for daily activity—tending & keeping as purposeful movement. Steve’s mantra, “delay the decay,” lands with refreshing realism. No magic hacks, just consistent habits that restore energy, reverse risk, & extend our capacity to love, serve, & create. He shares candidly about still being an “average dude” who struggles, & why that authenticity helps more than perfection ever could. We open up about our own journeys too—returning to training after mission work left us winded on stage, & a 65-pound win through First Place for Health that reignited discipline at age 60. Performance ministry is physical, & we talk about the spills, the sweat, the headsets that take a beating, & the spiritual charge of treating art as athletic worship.

Send us Fan Mail"What happens when theater brings living Scripture for a room that spans toddlers to octogenarians? Today, we sit down with Pastor Steve Reynolds of Capital Baptist & find out." A boy named Zadok hands over his loaves and fish, a row of 7 kids leans forward, & a sanctuary stays rapt for two hours—this is the kind of night we live for! We invited Pastor Steve from Capitol Baptist to unpack what happened when our one-man play “PETE” met a church already gearing up to teach through Peter’s life. Pastor Steve Reynolds shares why the performance felt alive — from facial expressions that carry meaning, to pacing that keeps kids present, to music that sends adults back to the Gospels. Next, you’ll hear how “PETE” was written in less than 3 weeks after a prayerful nudge, why we joke that “AI” really means Almighty Intelligence, & how a child in the audience raised a hand to accept Jesus. Pastor Steve opens up about his own journey: saved young through a mother’s witness & a long revival, called into vocational ministry, & led to plant a church in Northern Virginia by praying over stacks of city packets. Along the way, we reflect on seasons of theater ministry, the grit of church planting, & the little production choices —light, sound, sightlines— that communicate care. The conversation widens with his recent trip to Nigeria. Joy over 4-hour worship services & bold preaching lives alongside grief over increasing persecution — reports suggest around thirty Christians are killed daily in the north. We talk honestly about the difference between scrolling past headlines & committing to pray, & we ask for more than protection: we ask for conversion, the kind that turned Saul into Paul. If you’ve been hungry to see Scripture with fresh eyes, to remember why excellence in the arts serves the church, & to let prayer shape action, this one’s for you.Pastor Steve Reynolds, Lead Pastor: Capital Baptist (website) • Capital Baptist (Facebook) • https://pastorstevereynolds.com/ Pastor Steve's Books: • Bod4God • Get Off The Couch • Taking God To Work • The Healthy Renegade Pastor: Abandoning Average in Your Health and Wellness • Wise Up!Plays On Word website Plays On Word YouTubePlays On Word FacebookPlays On Word InstagramEmail us: [email protected]

Send us Fan Mail"What if the generation everyone called distracted is actually laser-focused? Today we sit down with family pastor, Marc Crabtree to trace a hopeful shift among 18–27-year-olds who are done with hype and hungry for truth."From frank conversations on sexuality, suicide, and same‑sex relationships to the thorny overlap of faith and politics, Marc shares how a young adult community can hold the line on Scripture while learning to love people with courage and care. The surprise isn’t their outrage—it’s their appetite for depth and their refusal to be patronized. That appetite is changing how they’re taught. Instead of gimmicks, Marc walks them through hermeneutics—how to read the Bible with confidence—so discernment grows and fear fades. We talk about moving from milk to solid food, why disagreement isn’t hate, and how transparency from leaders builds real trust in a post‑COVID world of media mistrust and shifting definitions. The aim isn’t to win arguments but to shape resilient disciples who can navigate culture without being shaped by it.We also step outside the classroom into the community. Marc's church, GraceWay Bible Church, converted a former 7‑Eleven into an outreach center offering ESL classes, GED prep, and a relationship‑based food pantry that prays with every guest. Even in “affluent” suburbs, many families live one emergency away from crisis. Meeting practical needs with presence opens doors for the gospel and restores the church to its historic role: caring for neighbors, strengthening families, and forming character at home rather than outsourcing it to institutions.Anchored by stories of calling and vocational joy, this conversation invites you to rethink church as both a classroom for truth and a workshop for love.
