Called To Be Uncomfortable

God didn’t call us to be comfortable—He called us to love.

In this short but powerful scene, five young adults wrestle with the tension between honesty and discomfort. As they reflect on a recent outreach event, personal biases rise to the surface—until a deeper truth challenges them all. Jesus didn’t shy away from the uncomfortable, and neither should we.

Perfect for youth groups or Sunday services, Called To Be Uncomfortable shows that real love means stepping outside of our comfort zones and into Christ-like compassion.

Sample script:

all come on stage talking

Parker:
Riley, I gotta tell you, that was one really strange group in there.

Riley:
I’d never seen some of those guys either, Parker. But I thought it was an OK time.

Parker:
Yah, most of the guys were OK I guess.

Riley:
Wait, Parker... So if some of the guys were OK, I guess that means you think some of the guys weren’t OK?

Parker:
Wait a bit yourself, Riley. I never said some of the guys weren’t OK! What made you say that?

Riley:
What made me say that? Maybe it was you saying “most of the guys in there were OK!”
(to Jordan) What would you think, Jordan, if Parker said that to you?

Jordan:
Well, I would likely think, Parker, that you aren’t comfortable with some of the guys in the group.

Parker:
Exactly, Jordan... Some of them are, I dunno... I... am just really not comfortable with them.

Dakota:
Some? Such as who?

Parker:
Well, there was that one girl with the purple hair and the...

Kendall:
And the nose ring?

Parker:
Yah, that’s the one I mean...

Kendall:
I know her—Desiree is her name. She’s had a really tough life... Dad in prison, her mom works three jobs.

Parker:
See, that’s it... I’m just not comfortable with that sort of... people.
Her and that guy with the head thing.

Riley:
You mean Wasif, the guy wearing the turban?
