Corbin followed with 1st of 3 pitches. 'The Last 6' - A few remaining Christians are all that are left....
Rebecca was short a pitch but came with a great 'idea' for the crew to help bring to life. 'Spiritual Warfare' - A dream sequence that features in some way the classic 'good' and 'bad' angels on our shoulders giving us advice
Rob followed with Pitch 2. 'A Pastor's Betrayal' - We aren't sure what the betrayal is yet but its probably big and the betrayed may never make it back to his church.
Corbin pitched his second. "Unlikely Friendship' - Wife loses husband and strikes up unlikely and unexpected friendship with non-believer.
Stanley pitches! 'No Dog Like Jehovah' - A dog with the power to heal...or does he?
