Vanessa Lynn’s gospel stage play takes the stage at the Ford Community & Performing Art Center with a story of a church in transition and the conflict it sparks.

A spiritual struggle follows that shakes the foundation of Solid Ground Ministries, as only a divine intervention can reveal who is truly called by God and who has stepped into the pulpit uninvited. Created by the playwright often called the Queen of the Twist and known for works like Unequally Yoked, Affairs, Boss Lady, Enemy in My House, Fakers, Deranged, Soul Custody, The Mid-Wife, and I Need a Man, this production also marks the 20th anniversary of Parables Entertainment.
