🎬 1. Severe Makeover: Newsroom Edition

(Naomi and Nathan banter on-air... kind of.)

Nathan:
I’m Newsy Nathan — with all the news that’s news where you want the news, and when the news is still news before it becomes old news!

Naomi:
What does that even mean?

Nathan:
It means… it’s newsation!

Naomi:
That’s not a word.

Nathan:
It is now!

Easy. Breakfast.

Coffee and silence.

Hmm… interesting. And where does God fit into that routine?

(Silence.)

💔 3. Severe Makeover: Relationship Edition

(Two friends argue — but someone’s ready to change.)

Friend 1:
You always make it about you.

Friend 2:
Maybe… maybe that’s true. I guess I’ve been afraid if I don’t, no one will.

Friend 1:
That’s not how love works.

Friend 2:
Then maybe it’s time I got a relationship remodel.

💼 4. Severe Makeover: Career Edition

(An employee dreams of success — but at what cost?)

Boss:
You want the promotion? Work Sundays. Family can wait.

Worker:
But I volunteer at church…

Boss:
This is business. Faith doesn’t pay the bills.

Worker (softly):
No, but it’s the only thing that’s ever saved me.

❤️ 5. Severe Makeover: Heart Edition

(God speaks directly to someone who feels broken.)

Person:
I’ve made too many mistakes. I’m beyond fixing.

God (voice):
You say “too broken.” I say “perfect for a makeover.”

Person:
But why me?

God (voice):
Because I don’t see who you were. I see who you’re becoming.
