As someone from the Gen Z generation, I just want older folks to know that we really appreciate when you sit down and take the time to hear our stories and understand the way we feel. We’re not aliens, just people with limited life experience. :P We have deep thoughts and feelings and are so deeply touched by every aspect of the world we live in. Like every generation, we just need people who will listen and love us through confusion, hurt, happiness, and questions. Also side note: I know it seems like a long time between seasons of the Chosen, but this is actually a pretty normal production rate for most shows. There is so so much work that goes into it. I understand how easy it is to be impatient (I’m impatient haha!) but keep in mind it takes a ton of work for the Chosen to be as good as it is! Thanks for listening to a young Christian, if you read this. ❤️

Thank you for sharing. As a gen x I remember all too well the feeling of not being listened to or heard. I still feel that way at times now, and I'm a mum to 3 boys, two of whom are teenagers. We all need to remember that everyone has a story and it often shapes who we are as adults, but we all have value in God's eyes, regardless of our pasts, we are all sinners and Jesus Christ died for all of our sins.

[@MsJackamara]

I just wanted you to know, my daughter, a GenZ, comes for dinner on an irregular basis. We always watch something when eating dinner. When The Chosen was released and we had already watched Season 1 she asked ‘what are we watching tonight’. I asked, ‘have you seen any of The Chosen episodes?’ We started to watch Season 1 again with her. On every visit she asked to watch The Chosen until we had watched S1 & S2. She’s still asking if S3 has been released. Thank you for producing a series that tugs at the heart no matter what age and reinvigorates the love we have for Jesus.

[@yadiaag7771]

His mind says many Gods but his heart is saying “There is only One”

[@brendananderson9102]

@@UnkleKnuck the ankh is the symbol of life to the Egyptians. It was adapted into the cross by the Christian Romans in the 4th century AD. The ancient Greek word σταυρὸν (stauron) is the word for cross, but it could also mean stake or pole. So it was more likely that Jesus was nailed to a pole. But the cross symbol developed later because it's meaning reinforced Jesus's sacrifice. Plus, the bronze serpent that Moses lifted up is now seen as a cross as well. According to the ancient Hebrew it could mean it is a pole or like a military standard/banner pole, which is capital T shaped. Osiris, Isis, Ra and Anubis seem to be associated with the ankh. I can see that being a concern because those are pagan gods.

[@melindamercier6811]

Praying for you! I find it mindblowing just how many differences in struggles we all go through, things that all still are meant to be used to bring us to the same place: perfection in Him. The world makes it so hard to die to ourselves. But the Church’s job is to be there for us in that process of sanctification, encouraging us through our struggles. I pray we all find a local Church family who gives their all like that, and teaches us that our identity is in Christ. God bless you, sister! ❤️

[@Powerranger-le4up]

Just remember to not define yourself by who you’re attracted to, but how God sees you: his child.

[@kitty7644]

Encouraging verses that have helped me: 1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has overtaken you, except what is common to man; and God, who is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able (to bear), but will provide the way of escape for you to endure it." (NASB) The Passion Translation puts it in clearer language: "We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust Him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously." 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (BEFORE READING: I know this verse might seem negative on the surface, but please READ BETWEEN THE LINES of this verse.) "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; people who indulge in fornication, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, fraud, greed, drunkenness, or verbal abuse will not inherit the kingdom of God. SUCH WE'RE SOME OF YOU; but you were WASHED, but you were SANCTIFIED, but you were JUSTIFIED in the NAME of the Lord Jesus Christ and the SPIRIT of God." What Paul is reminding the church of Corinth of was that some of the Christians there once indulged in certain sinful sexual lifestyles but they we're redeemed: washed, set apart, justified by faith, and filled with the Holy Spirit. This verse to me is a powerful biblical testimony that God loves all of His children and redeems and makes us completely new in Christ. Do not lose hope or endurance! Always remember who you are in Christ.

[@leratoemeldahkgwedi2042]

One thing I am learning by watching the Gen Z interviews is that as Christians, we have a long way to go in being kind to people, even those whom we don't understand. Jesus was always kind; don't get me wrong, He didn't brush wrong things under the carpet at all. But His kindness drew all kinds of people in. At the end of the day, how many souls are we winning into the church by this cold religiosity? Many focus on the ways of God and not His actual love for people. May God help us to show His love and His ways hand in hand to the new generation.

[@jeand.]

I agree with you wholeheartedly! So many preach hellfire and brimstone, and try to shame people into a conversion. But no one is shamed into a conversion, people are loved into one. That is why scrupulosity is so rampant in our church today because people aren’t encountering God as truly Father but are being taught that no matter what they’ll never be good enough for Him.

As an Executive Pastor of a midsized church in the rural south, I must say that this doc has been an eye opening experience and convicting to hear how many have been injured physically and spiritually by 'the church'. I am praying and asking God how my church can be used to reach out to all generations including Gen Z. The real challenge for us is to present God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in a way that honors the written Bible but also to do so in Love, Prayer, and Grace, and we must do so for every generation, our Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z and now even the upcoming Gen Alpa! It is my desire for me personally and for the church to be more like Jesus in our relationships than ever before. Thank you The Chosen for getting us up our comfortable duffs to get re-engaged in reaching out to the lost and the hurting.......as Jesus did.

I found this show by "accident" and was just as skeptical - even in my 50s. My life was saved from my own hand at 27 by God - when i didn't even have a relationship with Him. I was a homeless alcoholic living on the street in NYC. The day I was going to end my life, it was saved by a voice in my head that said, "My son, you have another chance." That was 31 years ago. It was such a profound experience that I developed a practice which has lead to a pretty good relationship with God today. I've been blessed beyond my wildest dreams when I was at my lowest. I have a loving wife. Two daughters who are good people. A house. An education. A career. Heck, even getting my driver's license back long ago was like a miracle. Anyway, I gave this show a one episode trial run to see whether it would compel me to continue. It did. I cried. Y'all have done such a great job of making Jesus's story relevant - while still reinforcing the original script. Thank you for your vision and sincerity. Whether you've had a supernatural experience like me, are full of doubt, or have no idea who this historical figure really was - give one episode a shot. You won't regret it.

I am a 69-year-old wife, mother, and grandmother from Ohio, and a huge fan of The Chosen. I have watched Season 1 and Season 2 four times so far! All of the young people in this documentary touched me deeply, and I cried through most of it. My heart hurts for the injury done to many of you during your childhoods. Let Jesus wrap His loving arms around you and press you close to His Heart. Let Him bring healing and love into your life. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. So brave!

[@marykimball5320]

What beautiful young people! This “old grandma” sends hugs to you all! I admire the way you ask questions, evaluate possibilities, and think deeply. May God bless each of you richly!

Much respect for Gen Z tonight. They put themselves out there and that takes courage. As a mom of a Gen Z son, my heart went out to all of them and I wished I could give them all a huge hug. What an impactful documentary and the rest of the livestream was so good!

[@bonniebrown5102]

I had to break up watching this into two days (when you have small kids it can be hard to get 2 hours to yourself), but I said a prayer for each one of the gen-z participants tonight. God Bless Jonathan for saying what he said to the young man about Jesus tugging on his heart. I am older than these participants (I'm a millennial), but with the life experiences that some have had, I feel that a few of them were older than me! Praise God that he meets us were we are at and doesn't wait till we get our act together or all of our questions get answered before inviting us to Him!

The Chosen came at a needed time, I recently went back to my faith and The Chosen has helped tremendously to sustain my journey. All of you involved are doing a great service.

Favorite quotes: "Nobody ever talks about how desperate you can get when you're trying to save yourself or someone you care about." -Stephen "O.K. to save a part of myself for myself." -Josephine Jesus sees it all and loves us through it all for the goal of an ultimate relationship with Him, Father, and Holy Spirit. So thankful for the honesty and vulnerability with this documentary.

1:50:27 I'm a 48 year old dad of three and I'm moved to tears. Thank you Dallas, The Chosen teams, and Gen Z for this video. It's helped me understand my 25 year old daughter better than ever. It's also greatly encouraged me about the return of those that have backslidden. I myself left the church for 13 years until my thirties.

[@lauramurphy4326]

I am a boomer, yet I relate to all these Gen Z's. Thank you, you brave young people for being so honest. There are so many of us who had traumatic childhoods that really effected our faith. Am so happy in my older years that I found the real, loving Jesus.

[@laurasmith1388]

Wanted to hug every one of these lovely brave young adults, especially as they shared their hurts. Momma bear! I pray that they all will continue to grow and deepen in their discovery of themselves and their relationship with God.

[@Terrian]

The documentary was incredible. Thank you guys for showing unfiltered, raw stories. In our space, we typically see stories of those who have come out on the other side of hardship. It’s rare that we get to hear and see stories of those who are in the thick of it. Amazing work! Amazing show!

[@VanessaKelly]

What a lovely, lovely group of young people! I bawled my eyes out watching this wonderful documentary. Thank you to the GenZ-ers who participated in this project. Your honesty, integrity, and vulnerability were so inspiring. God bless you, and God bless the cast, crew, and "family" of The Chosen. Get used to different, indeed!

[@dizzyizz16]

When I first truly gave my heart to Christ, I was HUNGRY. I spent most of my free time during the Summer as a teenager gaming, in-person, with some of my friends… but after I surrendered my life to Jesus, i asked my friends if they wanted to read the Bible and just… talk about it. We would talk about what we were reading late into the early morning hours. We did this for a long time. It was those organic transparent conversations, much like we experienced with these 9 individuals, that deeply impacted each of the people that were involved in those conversations. THIS was one of the beautiful gifts the Church was always meant to be for a hurting world: to mutually encourage one another toward Christ. To share our doubts, our struggles, our deep pains, our flaws… and to know we’re in good company. We’re all trying to figure life out and we truly need Jesus just as much as the person we sit next to. Years later, a member of the group of friends I mentioned above came to me and shared that he used to roll his eyes and hate that I would continually start these conversations about whatever we read… but as time went on, God changed the soil and that seed took root. He thanked me for starting those conversations all those years ago. But the funny thing is that I wasn’t trying to evangelize… I was genuinely HUNGRY to know God for myself. But I invited people to be a part of my hunger and search. It’s like the disciples say often in different ways while describing their experience of following Jesus in The Chosen… “I feel like I’m just watching Him most of the time…” but they are watching Him TOGETHER.

[@shirleybuckmaster22]

My hubs and I just watched this (somehow we missed the live), and as I watched and listened to the young people who graciously took part in this, I was so touched by your stories and found myself wishing I could take each of you in my arms and tell you how valued each one of you are, that your past does not define you, but that you are chosen by a God who loved you so much He died for each of you, that He saw every heartache you endured and loves you unconditionally. Never stop seeking Him-you will never regret it. I can’t wait to meet each one of you in heaven one day!

[@audreykonkle5298]

As a Gen Z’er myself it was amazing seeing how other people of my generation were affected by this show. I was scared to tell people that The Chosen is my favorite tv show and how it changed me because I was taught to not talk about my faith in the public. However, this documentary is really inspiring me to be more open to others. Thank you to the people that were so vulnerable in this documentary. And thank you to the people that listen to our struggles and continue to pray for our generation. ❤️

[@airinkujo3207]

I feel you completely! I grew up Catholic all my life and always (until recently) felt embarrassed of my faith because everyone made me feel like it was something I shouldn’t share openly. Not only did it make me sad but it also hurt my relationship with God. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father. (Matthew 10:33) Now I am at peace with myself because I said yes to God and no to mammon. Now I hope to one day evangelize publicly to my generation to introduce to him our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏🏼✝️❤️

[@tiffanyhenry2312]

So powerful! A special thank you to each one of them for being willing to share their thoughts openly and freely. Listening to them, and from a Mamma's heart, I just wanted to hug each and everyone of them, and let them know they are LOVED. The Chosen is so awesome, and thank each of you for the time and effort you commit to making it touch so many lives.

[@shanahiggins5921]

Each one of these beautiful children are so precious. Each in different ways. Wish I could protect them and prevent any harm. The only way to be cushioned from the world is to look at themselves how Jesus does. With pure love and joy He sees you, He knows you, He loves you. These truths have saved me and I hope the same for you all.

I really loved this docuseries. As a mum of a couple of Gen Z's, I was really moved by the issues expressed here and more determined to hear and listen to not just my children more, but I have gained a genuine love and concern for an entire generation. Social media can silence a generation by enabling them to hide behind posts and well manicured photos. This show helped them be vulnerable and unmask. I loved it so much. Thank you for doing this.

I'll be 80 in a few months, & I thought I couldn't relate to these people; but I do! They are precious in the way they've opened up. Thank you, young people! You give me hope for the future.

Same. I’ve watched the episodes many times over. There are so many shows out there but they are just so shallow and not good for my soul. So I revert back to the Chosen and I always seem to get something out of it even though I’ve seen it many times.

[@anneamato6783]

@Michele Burrell Who are your favorite followers so far? Mine are (1) Matthew. (Also known as “Levi”) And I did some independent research on him. He was proficient in about 5 languages…and a very accurate scribe (writer of dictation)…so I now regard Matthew’s Gospel as probably being the most accurate. But…(2) I also “feel” like Nathaniel sometimes (also known as Bartholomew). But..of the Romans….I like the acting done by Gaius (sp?) Matthew’s Roman protector … and think the Praetor of the district is unusual…a good acting performance….so far. Feel sorry for Nicodemus….But I REALLY do not like that secret Roman agent!!!!! ❤️✝️🙏 I absolutely love that new foot door mat The Chosen is offering… says “Get Used To Different”. Would love to get one of those. 😄

I missed this seeing this on Sunday but this early Wednesday morning my heart was sooo blessed and filled. I had to pray for each of the 9 and because their vulnerable testimonies broke my heart I felt the need to repent for the church. This made it clear as to why Christians are called haters. I no longer want to be a part of the haters. I want to be known as one full of love. Thanks for doing the difficult, or maybe the impossible by changing people's hearts. And my heart, too.

[@alexborowski9938]

Hello, how are you doing

[@islanderws]

I think you are letting critics of Christianity to define who we are. Don’t fall in the devils trap of the sin of slandering others. The Bible is pretty clear the message of the Gospel is a two edged sword and seems divisive to those who don’t want to hear. Calling and labeling Christians haters is an old trick by those who don’t want to participate in an open conversation. I have a sister and cousins who are gay. I love them all and they never called me or any of my Christian family and friends haters. Don’t forget as Jesus said, “they will hate me before they hate you.”
