See “The Blacksmith who Made the Nails” at your church!

This one-man drama – not the Old Testament prophet Obadiah, but a wholly fictitious character – will take you (via your imagination) to first-century Palestine, where you’ll see and hear and feel what it was like to know Jesus personally, through the eyes of the local blacksmith who made the nails that held Jesus to the cross.

Obadiah was created and is performed by one of my best friends in the world, Dale Crum. He currently has availabilities in his schedule, and if you’d like to consider having Obadiah performed at your church or event, contact Dale at 901-552-8213, or contact him via email, “obadiahdrama” at “gmail.com”.

He made the nails

Dale Crum plays “Obadiah” – not the OT prophet, but the man who forged the nails that held Jesus to the cross:



This is part two of three videos that have been posted at YouTube. As I noted earlier, Dale has been a life-long friend of mine, he’s made my children laugh, and he’s been a tremendous witness to the Lord throughout his life.

Dale is a member of a small Presbyterian church in Memphis; he is available to perform Obadiah for church groups, youth groups, school groups, and other special functions.

The story of the man who made the nails that held Jesus to the cross

This is one of my best friends ever, the artist Dale Crum, in his one-man drama, Obadiah, an original creation of his. This is an edited compilation of video clips taken from the full-length drama presentation. The actual live drama is approximately one hour. Dale created the character and the story; he is the actor, and he designed the set, the costume, and the makeup.

Dale is a member of a small Presbyterian church in Memphis; he is available to perform Obadiah for church groups, youth groups, school groups, and other special functions. Please contact me if you’re interested in booking information.
