30 years of Impact Dramas

Hard to believe it's been 30 years since that first "Super Christian" skit changed the way we did Impact. I mean that single skit in 95 changed everything. It took Impact to a different level and changed many church camps all over the southeast. After Impact 1995 many church camps understood they could do more than camper vs. staff ball games.  Major youth events all over started doing dramas because of that one little skit in 95. That's when we all realized drama appealed to campers who did not fit into a box. So here are my 2024 updated rankings.  30. Not Of This World 1997 29. The Journey 2000 28. Ten 2001 27. Unmasked 1999 26, The Mighty 2007 25. Deep 2003 24. Shield About Me 2002 23. TV 31 2020 22, RPG 2014 21. Go West 1998 20. Hidden 2009 19. Major League 1996 18. Abandoned 2015 17. Hyde 2016 16. Buried Alive 2010 15, The Fog 2023 14. This Mystery 2004 13. Escape 2005 12. The Secret 2021 11. The Con 2022 10. Stranger Than Fiction 2012 9. Super Christian 1995 8. ...
  Impact 2022 “The Con” For the last 15 years or so on the day after Impact I have started writing a yearly summary. It is really my way of extending the event a little longer and it has become an annual tradition I look forward to as much as anything else involving Impact. But this year is a little different. I really cannot explain it, but I just don’t know how to start. The week was incredible. Impact was back in every way. From the dorms to the dancing, from the counselors to the characters. It was truly 100% Impact. And as I returned home on Saturday I had two primary thoughts. That was too fast We are not guaranteed anything. None of us had a clue in 2019 that when we walked off that stage Impact would not return to normal until 2022. That being said, on with the story of 2022…. I was on a zoom call with Rubio and Skid. It was March and we really still had no idea what the theme was going to be. That’s pretty late. We usually have this decided by January or February, sometime...
