'I Can't Tell My Acting Journey Without Jesus': 'Chosen' Star Says Show Is 'Life-Changing' for Her

[@keithcastleberry3993]

Lara plays a perfect Edan. I truly enjoy her character. She isn't a pushover and holds Simon accountable. She is strong in her faith and family and loyal in her duties at the home and marriage. This series has absolutely changed my life and mindset and strengthened my relationship with God and Jesus. It is helping hold me accountable and helping paint the BIG picture. Watch it and Grow in everything!!!

[@gracievelazquez5795]

“My mom was raised Catholic but…” we are our children’s first teachers. We need to do better at knowing our faith as Catholics and having a deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ so they can see Him in us and so they can go out into this crazy world and do His work for His Kingdom and proclaim Him.“Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” ( St. Jerome) May God continue to bless The Chosen team for bringing His Word to new audiences and Holy Spirit igniting that flame! God bless you all! 🙏🏽❤️

“A person’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.” Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭9‬ ‭CSB‬‬ Awesome verse.

[@godschosen414]

I love her even more now. Her humble spirit inspires me. God bless her and her journey with the Lord!!! ❤️🙏🏽

[@Pilgrim_Rescued]

Amazing Woman! Perfectly Cast! So Inspiring! God Bless her & The Chosen!

[@hanko8357]

Her acting is amazing. Her spirit matches that…

[@TheChosenSeries]

We are really excited to see more of Eden's story in Season 3. We hope you will join us for our theatrical release of Episodes 1 and 2 this November 18th. :)

[@ryandavis394]

Constantines Anti-Semitic Pagan Religion Christianity will be NO more :)

[@RaquelKenna]

Oooh boy november is so far I want like right now 🙃

[@dawnflasch608]

I love listening to Lara speak of her faith journey and how it's all part of her work/career as well. Such an important message for the younger generations especially! Once you know and love the Lord, He leads your life decisions (or should). All we need to do is surrender and trust. Lara is perfect as Eden. Can't wait for S3!

[@josephbadger5234]

She, in that role; the moment I saw her she made every sense in the world. Her heart, her modest beauty, her strength and sense of humor, her wisdom and honesty. She is is perfectly cast as any role I’ve seen. Will be praying for her. She is one of many incredible gifts to The Chosen.

[@roses993]

I love how our evangelical brothers and sisters love preaching the Word!!❤

[@rachellehill963]

Eden is one of my fave characters. Her story is still relevant today. Lara is an inspiring woman of God, and love her honesty and being real

[@BettyGone]

Eden is the perfect character for this beautiful woman. Who couldn’t love her!❤ The Chosen is the best series!

[@ChuckMcDaniels]

Lara has such a sweet simplicity in her approach to her role on The Chosen, and it definitely comes from her authenticity and how she is growing in her faith, while having a role in the story. Such a wonderful, humble woman of faith!

[@gingermurphy5033]

Wow! Haven't ever heard such honesty and humility from an actress. Lara, your work sounds so hard, but ministry always is. Praying for you! Keep sharing the truth!

[@mariemcclure151]

Lara you are such a beautiful woman with such a sweet spirit. I love watching you and Simon act. You both look so much in love. It looks so real. Great acting. Can't wait to see season 3

[@randidaeger157]

The Chosen has changed so many lives.

[@petagayejolly7577]

Eden is one of my favorite characters in the show. I cried when I watched the scene where she reacts to her husband deciding to follow Jesus.

[@keithcastleberry3993]

I think I have cried in EVERY episode. I do really like Edans character and Lara plays it perfectly.

[@pamogden7508]

Love her explanation of how Christ sees women. Equally important with different roles than men. The Jewish culture at the time of Christ minimized women. That the first person he appeared to after his resurrection was a woman speaks to his reverence for women.

[@kimspencer7677]

Lara..I think you're an AMAZING WOMAN OF GOD....HE is so VERY PLEASED WITH YOU. YOU BRING GOD JOY!!!

[@ingemacinnes6889]

I Love the way Jesus said to Eden : I see you! Also, Eden ,is so right for Simon ,with her strong faith!

[@stokrotnie7]

Clearly, she is a very sensitive person of deep faith - being able to see and name God behind so many events. Yet, she said her faith wavered at that moment of speaking. What a beautiful soul. ❤

[@jasonsutubeid]

What a beautiful heart! Such an amazing actress, and such an amazingly humble and transparent person as well. Her character Eden is one of my favorites.

[@reneemoore6568]

So nice to get to know you Lara.....you play Eden so beautifully

[@danielphilip6577]

God uses our weakness for His glory.

[@mannalawson432]

I SO appreciate Lara’s vulnerability!❤❤❤

[@Mrsrchy17]

She seems like such a soft, sweetheart! I love hearing her talk.

[@brucebrown997]

I love Eden, she is a woman of God, a strong wife who speak her mind in a respectful way when she interact with Simon. Lara Silva is great on the show and I am looking forward to what they have planned for Eden this season.

[@prayerforceone]

Thank you so much, Lara, for sharing your story so authentically. May the Lord Jesus continue to lead, guide and empower you to do what He has called you to do. He will be faithful to you always!

[@mm-qm9zh]

A man plans his ways, but the Lord directs his steps! Amen!!! Thank you for being such a beautiful example for us, Lara! You have a very beautiful spirit! Thank you! 🙏☺️💜 Meline

[@yvonnegill1382]

Lara your spirit is so adorable, you are letting God work through you. ❤

[@jenifermorrell1918]

You go, girl! Great testimony!

[@allisonlyso5254]

Lara you are amazing - May God continue to use you for His glory!

[@Deba7777]

Love precious Lara! She just makes her role alive! Glory to God!

[@cmcer1995]

Lara is so genuine when she talks about her journey and her faith and where she is with it. She seems to be a "Baby" Christian still seeking to know more about Jesus, about God and maybe along the way she will learn more about the Holy Spirit as well. She still knows she is vulnerable but knows that she can lean on Christ (via The Holy Spirit) to help lead her and guide her through her daily walk with God. You are not alone in dealing with the emotions involved in the parts you are playing; we are with you as well in experiencing them too. God is using you to touch other hearts so they can also hunger for the relationship with our maker.

[@agis230]

You're not alone, Lara. Stay strong, I'll pray!

[@brownb6]

This is amazing. God definitely orders the steps of those who trust him and surrender their lives.

[@cherianpv]

Dear Lara, I am really appreciating the way our Lord God helped you to show the personal struggles of Simon Peter and Eden. Surely our Lord's Grace was sufficient to help you.

[@lilly5908]

She’s so beautiful and softspoken

[@nlcrme]

She is just so amazing. I'm so glad she lives in Atlanta. I live in Marietta which is just a few minutes away from Atlanta. How wonderful is her testimony ❤ 😍 She is such an amazing actress and such a lovely person ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this interview with us.

[@terrimobley6067]

I pray for each cast member .... This is a big deal.... We understand the difficulty if being balanced. Much love and respect from Texas

[@dagmarcamargo393]

God bless you Lara! And happy first mother's day!

[@lesliewhelan6463]

Lara is absolutely perfect as Eden!

[@jcam783]

What a sweet and sincere spirit , The Lord continue to Bless her and lead her by His Spirit .

[@ciaranomalley9274]

The Chosen has brought the Bible ALIVE for me in a very special way .. Lara has been a huge part of that .. thanks to all the actors in The Chosen for bringing Gods Word to life ❤🙏🏻❤❤❣️

[@cjraven2399]

Oh my goodness I never realized how cool this actor is and how beautiful her relationship with Jesus is!!! God bless her 🙏🙏🙏

[@jrcrawford4]

I love her honesty and the honesty of her character. My favorite scene so far is when Simon comes in and she's cutting those vegetables and he knows he's in it. Chop! Chop Chop!

[@andrewmcarthur433]

No wonder the show is so good - such genuine high calibre actors/actresses.

[@julieclaycomb6532]

Love Eden’s character, glad to hear we will see more of her.

[@susancarter1112]

Susan from Atlanta Ga. I ❤️ The Chosen because it's going to reach people for Christ and I believe it's gonna spark our biggest Revival ✨️ ever. The Chosen is exciting don't watch hardly any shows at all people are anticipating it! Truly it's a God thing and he is something to get excited about!!

[@pennybrooks9038]

I love Lara. Such a sweet spirit ❤

[@melodyhaselden1742]

Lara thank you for sharing, such an encouragement for all of us. Especially our younger generation. I pray God continues to bless you.🙏

[@blesssssss5360]

Eden is my favourite character the love and care she has for Simon Peter is so genuine she express it beautifully. Love them both so much ❤️ Cannot wait for Season 3 !😘

[@segiaalapati1378]

Thank you for sharing your faith and your journey with us viewers and supporters of THE CHOSEN. Lara you are blessed. Thanks for this video. PEACE.

[@timothygrayson]

What I like about the Chosen is it is a collective effort from all the cast. Faith is reinforced by numbers and spontaneity of a sacred story. The role of the women in this parable is profound as well as the role of the mother. We are guided by positive role models towards a sanctuary without personal ego and the associated shroud of darkness. Bless those involved in the Chosen and all those who continue with the work of education and sacrifice towards a final truth of our mission. It was never going to be easy as we are seduced by personal interest. I leave the earthly realm knowing that faith in others is strong.

[@tinadrake5546]

This is totally awesome I am so proud of you as an artist you have really encouraged my soul. Thank you for what you are doing in the Chosen, always remember you are and have many souls I will be praying for you and the casts. Blessings in Jesus name!!!!!

[@charmainebrimm8715]

Lara this is a beautiful testimony. May you continue to yield to the Holy Spirit who will teach you and bring you to full maturity in Christ

[@lindakalaitzis7648]

Lara is so beautiful in her portrayal of Eden - such depth in of emotions and wisdom in the way she interacts with Simon-Peter. So grateful for Lara and CBN for this series.

[@ChristineDavey-p6n]

Her testimony is so beautiful

[@jeffreyelliott2428]

My wife and I related so much to the struggle Eden was having with her miscarriage and infertility as it’s something we struggled with for years. I was so accurate of how women struggle on their own with that grief and husbands can be pretty clueless about the suffering of our wives. It was beautifully done. Can’t wait to see how that trial goes for Eden.

[@fryaxoof2521]

Lara the episodes where you lost the baby, but could find opportunity to tell Simon because he was so busy and then all of the pain and sadness you portrayed in these episodes were great! You are a wonderful actress. I’m so glad that you personally know Jesus.

[@patbiggam8138]

She portrayed Eden in Season 3 beautifully. Really fantastic. Episode 8 she was epic.

[@randyschweiss847]

I remember several years ago when a mini series called The Bible came out. My wife and really enjoyed it. This series "The Chosen" completely blows that away TEN FOLD! We absolutely love it!

[@jeremysmith9694]

She is stunning. What a beautiful soul. Thank you Lara!

[@karenlawrence8183]

In our weakness - GOD IS STRONG. The olive is pressed for olive oil. Strength from GOD & our prayers for others during weakness becomes an amazing anointing of testimony for HIS KINGDOM. HalleluYAH!

[@ruthiehoctor9432]

You have such a stunning soul. Thank you for being so honest and open. God is going to shower graces on you 🌿

[@sherideitz3387]

You are the perfect Eden! You are one of my favorites! So sweet and kind!

[@beve83]

One of the things I love most about Lara's role as Eden is how she quietly serves. This is the Gospel. It it humble, kind and puts others first. She is helping tell the story of Jesus more than she knows.

[@babygrrlpc5057]

Lara brings such beauty and grace to this project.

[@keith692]

When we are weak, then we are strong. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. Praise God, and Grace and Peace to you sister Lara in our Lord Jesus Christ.

[@mariking9313]

I'll just say it, because nobody else will. Absolutely smokin' beautiful. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program...

How good to see actors with a personal faith in Jesus which strengthens them in the roles they are playing.

[@charlenereid3191]

What a beautiful soul... I really appreciate her role and this interview just showed me the powerful and beautiful GRACE of God. Thank you Lara 🙏

[@LindsayOrtega-yf7ci]

I am so grateful for this show. I just want to spend more time with Jesus.

I love when Éden tells Simon is a stoic.

Lara is so delicate yet so strong because of her faith.

[@faxicre8404]

Dear Lara! I have cried all your tears as Eden! I went through the same loss and it’s so hard to let go. Only God knows how we will heal such a pain. Great job with your beautiful portrait of Eden.

[@themistermax]

She's wonderful! I love how the series is portraying strong women.

[@yislainneitzel21]

[@mamabear0106]

Dear Lara, what a beautiful interview. You are so perfect as Eden. It is NEVER too late to find Jesus. You will learn as you go along, and Jesus is there to guide your steps. May God continue to bless you!❤️

[@philipwayne4637]

Great interview. Love Lara.

[@crossknight29field24]

Every time I watch the show everything comes to life. It's almost like getting saved all over again. I know I'm not getting saved again but my desire to go deeper with Christ is always very strong during watching the show. It is for such a time as this so many need to see a Christ that is relevant and true to scripture. Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever. I'm thankful Mr Jenkins was denied by Hollywood again "for such a time as this". Wonderful job young lady all the actors and actresses are definitely anointed.

[@iranicordova8543]

Linda! 💙🇧🇷

[@charb802]

My favorite non-Jesus character in The Chosen! Praying for you Lara.

[@terrycooper4149]

I love all the women of The Chosen. Don't make me choose a favorite. Impossible.

Lara is an inspiring woman of God. She's beyond precious & one can sense her sincere spirit.

Beautiful interview! I cried so much during the miscarriage scene and I thought the storyline was done so well this season. Episode 8 with both Eden and Simon Peter was so well done. Thanks Lara for sharing your faith walk with us!
