🎵 [CUE THEME MUSIC – “All Day Song” instrumental intro begins] 🎥 [CAMERA 1 sweeps across the cheering live studio audience. Lights swirl. Confetti flutters down.]

🎙️ ANNOUNCER (V.O.):
“Live from the spiritual fast lane where Grace doesn’t park — it moves! It’s time for the game show where you get what you don’t deserve… so you can give what can’t be earned… Welcome to GRACE 2U!”

🎶 [“Love Him in the morning when you see the sun arising…”] 🎥 [CAMERA 2 swings to JOHN strolling out in his Angels T-shirt and jeans] 🎥 [CAMERA 3 cuts to MARTI strutting confidently in her black stilettos, NYC-sleek with a touch of sparkle.]

JOHN (smiling):
“Welcome, everyone, to Day 2 of GRACE 2U!

MARTI (chuckling):
“Today’s theme is Grace in Motion.”

📣 [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER]

JOHN:
“So what does Grace in motion look like? According to James 2:17, ‘Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is…’”

MARTI:
“Dead. Gone. Zonked. Like your social life if you forget my anniversary.”

📣 [AUDIENCE GASP-LAUGH]

JOHN:
“Exactly. And here at GRACE 2U, we’re all about Grace turned outward. That’s the signature move. Like… Marti walking in these heels — full commitment, no safety net.”

🎥 [Suddenly, MARTI stumbles dramatically and catches herself by grabbing the announcer’s podium. Her dress nearly slips off her shoulder.]

MARTI (laughing):
“Okay! Grace in motion and Grace saving motion!”

📣 [BIG LAUGH + LIGHT APPLAUSE]

JOHN:
“Did you just body-check our announcer? That’s a first.”

🎥 [Suddenly, MARTI pulls a bright red comedy handle next to her.] 🎬 [TRAPDOOR under JOHN opens and he drops out of sight with a yelp!]

📣 [AUDIENCE ROARS WITH LAUGHTER]

🎥 [CAMERA cuts to MARTI smugly straightening her jacket.]

MARTI:
“Wrong question, buddy.”

🎥 [CAMERA shows JOHN climbing back up a side ladder, covered in foam hearts.]

🎶 [CUE: Soft strum of “All Day Song” again in background]
