Over the course of two decades, Pastor Paul has turned a modest storefront of a ministry into a megachurch with a congregation of thousands. On the celebratory day that the church’s debts are paid off, his controversial sermon shakes the foundation of his congregation’s beliefs, as well as his marriage. Can his motivations be trusted? This Obie Award-winning play has been recommended by secular and non-secular publications such as Christianity Today, the National Catholic Reporter, and the New York Times.
