A Conscious Effort

Staci’s new toy goes missing and only C.J. knows the truth, but he’s not telling … that is, until he hears a familiar tune.

Just days before Christmas, a mysterious illness spreads through the town sapping everyone of their strength and their hopes of winning the big Christmas decorating contest. With only hours before the judges arrive, can The Club find a way to save Christmas or has everyone been making Christmas something it’s not?

On the way to perform their Christmas pageant in Modesty, The Club, Paw Paw Chuck, and Miss Harbor run into an unexpected delay. Forced to seek shelter in a hillside home, the group help a man and his son find healing, restoration, and a reason to have the Christmas spirit.

During the school gift exchange, Miss Harbor challenges her class not just to appreciate the gift, but spend time being thankful for the giver. Through her challenge, The Club poignantly discovers the depth of God’s love for us.

When gifts begin to mysteriously appear on doorsteps all over Wildwood, Ned and Tiffany join forces to reveal the identity of the “Christmas Gift-Giving Bandit.” What they discover, is a special lesson in God’s goodness and counting His blessings.

C.J.’s in a pickle. He knows God wants him to do something he doesn’t want to do. Captain Gus reminds C.J. of the story of what happened to someone in a similar situation; someone named, Jonah!

The big go-cart race is coming up. But without teamwork, The Club discovers just how hard it is to be on the winning team.

The slick traveling salesman, Dr. Theron promises to teach C.J. the secrets of success and fame. But C.J. must decide whom he wants to follow more, “the good doctor” or “The Good Shepherd.”

Chuck hunts after the kidnappers and finds a ruthless gang of bandits whose purpose is the same as his own! They’re all looking for “The One” – the one to free the captives in Shadow Valley. If the bandits find him first, all hope is lost for the prisoners. Finding himself with a new name and a renewed purpose, Chuck struggles to put his past behind him and look forward to God’s plan for his future. But his reputation as Goliath continues to haunt him wherever he goes. Will he be the monster, Goliath forever or can God forgive and heal him of his painful past?

Barely escaping alive from Shadow Valley, Goliath - now Chuck relies on the help of a kindly, crusty country preacher, Pastor Flint and his daughter, Cindy. But healing one’s physical wounds is not the same as healing a wounded heart. When the bandits from Wild Mountain begin kidnapping the children from surrounding villages, Chuck is called back into action. But will the shadow of his past keep him from facing his future?
