TikTok Testimony Gone Wrong

The youth group is filming “faith videos” to post online, and Director Devin is determined to make everything perfectly TikTok-ready: trendy filters, catchy sounds, and “big energy.” But every take keeps going hilariously wrong, from random dancing to nonstop retakes and silly sound effects.

In the middle of the chaos, Quiet Quinn finally shares a simple, honest testimony about how Jesus helped them through a hard time. The room goes silent, hearts soften, and everyone realizes that the most powerful message isn’t the most edited. It’s the one that’s real.

Theme

Faith, honesty, and sharing God’s goodness without performing for approval

Characters

(5-7 actors)

• Director Devin – Overly confident “social media director” who wants everything perfect

• Sunny Skye – Energetic kid who bursts into dance at the worst moments

• Filter Finn – Easily distracted by filters, effects, and “viral” tricks

• Boom Mic Bree – Takes their “crew role” very seriously and interrupts a lot

• Quiet Quinn – Shy but sincere; speaks from the heart

• Pastor Pat – Kind youth leader who guides the group back to the real message

When

Modern day (during youth group media practice)

Props & Costumes

• Phone (real or cardboard) on a stand

• “Boom mic” (paper towel roll or toy mic)

• Simple costumes: youth group shirts, caps, fun sunglasses (optional)

Why

The skit teaches that our testimony should point to Jesus, not to ourselves. The Bible reminds us that our story of God’s help is powerful because it’s true, not because it’s flashy.

How

A youth group room becomes a “TikTok studio” with a phone on a stand. The humor comes from messy filming attempts, but the ending is heartfelt and biblically grounded.
