I forgot who God was after years of being hurt by Christians. The Chosen reminded me of who Jesus was and still is. After watching a lot of the cast interviews, I noticed that some of them were also at a difficult point of their lives. God is indeed working through this project in every aspect possible. Thank you for helping me come back to Jesus, where I should have always been since the very beginning.

Dang sorry to hear that brother I know some of our brothers and sister can be very Judgemental. I used to hb one of those judgemental people it was my way or the high way, I'm right your wrong. I use to have it very bad telling people what they think by using figures of speeches and they always misunderstood me. Also, if it was something not good about me I would disagree I had a narrow mind perspective till Christ took me to therpy. The main powerful things we should focus on as believers of Yeshua is Love justice and mercy. Especially, love 1 corin 13. We should be of one mind and not against each other. Phill 2:2, 1 corin1:10and 2 Tim 2:24. Plus, being non judgmental and I got to say that is a tough one because they dont do therpy in the churches anymore. Roman's 2:1-3 and Roman's 14:1-13. To love one another is to not Judge and having a open perspective and dont jump to conclusions quickly. I rather be in Absolute Truth rather than Subjective Truth. God is Absolute and he never changes Hebrews 13:8.

He broke me through exhaustion trying to stay afloat financially and energy-wise. (A single mother).The night I accepted the Lord by the next day miracles were happening in my life.

I can't imagine how hard it is to face persecution daily . Can't read the bible. Maybe u can on your phn ? Then delete it. Paul is amazing. Ephesians 6:12 for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms . It is also import to put on the full armour of God. . Ephesians 6:14- 17 stand firm then , with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place , and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace . In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one . Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit , which is the word of God . One of my favorites Galatians 4:26-27 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith , for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Remember being persecuted for Christ is a blessing . God can use our sufferings to show others about himself . What an honor to be like Jesus was for us. ( I know its easier said then done , as I'm living where there isn't any. But I do want to be a missionary, hope by God's grace you and me , others may be obedient to our Lord God. He can do anything. Stay strong, if anything else. Love the lord your God with all your heart, all your mind all your strength. Love your neigb as yourself.

Hi, i love your youtube name. Slave of YAH. But i am very saddened by your reply. I don't know you or where you are in your walk with Yahuah. But Scripture is clear. You can not serve 2 masters. Christianity is not serving Yahuah. Why because they break the 1st 4 commandments, by calling Yahuah Lord(which you do as well). They call our Messiah YAhusha Jesus, which is not our Messiah's Name. And not keeping the Sabbath. We are known by our fruits. Christianity does not keep the 7th day Sabbath. They do not celebrate the Scriptural feasts but rather Christmas and Easter, which are pagan feasts. They eat unclean foods etc. Our Messiah and His disciples did NONE of these Christian traditions. We must follow the example of Yahusha out Messiah. 1Pe 2:21 For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps, We should talk to the Christians and show them the way, not bless their evil ways. 2Jn 1:8 See to yourselves, that we do not lose what we worked for, but that we might receive a complete reward. 2Jn 1:9 Everyone who is transgressing and not staying in the teaching of Messiah does not possess Elohim. The one who stays in the teaching of Messiah possesses both the Father and the Son. 2Jn 1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house nor greet him, 2Jn 1:11 for he who greets him shares in his wicked works.

I just recently started to watch "the Chosen." My sister, who is a part of the Life Action Ministry traveling the US and leading in revivals, had already watched the show and was impacted by it. Just two weeks ago I bought the DVD at Wal-Mart for my wife. I didnt know what to expect. We watched two episodes together and I binged watched the entire season after she and the kids went to bed. It was so good! I couldnt stop! And we cant help but cry in every show because we can identify with the characters and the way Jesus was portrayed helped us feel closer to him. Now we are chomping at the bit to watch season 2! Its amazing how religion in the church has made Jesus and God so distant. But to truly know him is to step away from traditions and rituals. Its to seek only him and eat on his word. Its to feel the nail scarred hands. It's to know his love for us. Its to become a child once more in our faith. Its to feel his tender embrace and to know his mercy and grace and to see our sins washed away by his blood.

Thank you so much for your testimony, many Christians are trying to play God and when it does not work, they leave the faith. It is so important to remember that we provide the loaf and the fishes and God does the miracles. He wants it that way to keep us humble. What a great lesson of humility which I had to learn myself. God gave me the gift to write some powerful Christians songs for the pagans to understand but He does not allow me to publish them. He has established a way for people to hear them without my help which makes them more creditable. The Christian's that do not have this deep faith like you have, don't understand them. That is why Jesus asked in the Scripture: "When I return will I find faith on earth?" This the reason for the pandemic, to develop in us the faith you speak about. May God continue to work through you in such a powerful way. God bless

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love the Lord, to those called according to His purpose."

Good lesson. I have had failures and yet I have had joy flow through me simultaneously. It is a weird feeling when you think the feeling would be one of disappointment.

We think and do things in the flesh and with good intent, only to find out God was thinking different to us and preparing different outcomes. Just understanding that brings joy not disappointment.

Your testimony is inspirational and moving. I have heard versions of it several times before as I watched you in interviews discussing The Chosen. However, due to the format of the interviews the essence of the message, the fact that God's hand is so clearly involved in bringing about this show usually gets lost. I was deeply moved and renewed in spirit from the moment I first watched the short film The Shepherd. It also let me to support The Chosen project. I cannot remember the last time I was so excited and passionate about anything. More importantly, I cannot think of another film project that has had as much of an impact on my faith, except maybe The Passion of the Christ. The Shepherd, and even more so The Chosen, have touched me to my very core and made me reevaluate my relationship with Christ and my own faith in action. Those who have met me after I accepted Christ into my life will say that I am a rather poor example of a Christian, and they are absolutely correct. However, those who knew me before I gave my life to Christ would certainly notice the profound and dramatic changes in character and spirit that have taken place in me since my sudden and miraculous conversion about 20 years ago. I am a work in progress and will remain a major "construction zone" until the day I die. However, The Chosen continues to remind me of the work I need to do and encourages me to keep running the race. God bless you, Dallas and all those involved in making this show a reality.

God is working from the inside out on this project. Those of us making The Chosen are constantly reminded of His goodness, grace, and mercy.

[@blasiopinto1595]

@@TheChosenSeries well done... Indeed THE CHOSEN...is a miracle to me.... God bless you Dallas and Team

[@joyknowles7600]

Dallas is a real GEM 💎 he is very talented but what's beautiful about him is his relationship with God it shines so brightly from his face! The Chosen is a gift to him from God and a gift to us as well. I worked in Fine jewellery for years I know a real precious Gemstone when I see one .

[@ernestxavier8693]

Just beautiful. Loaves and fish. Here we are my Lord.

Dallas is actually a skilled comedian. His timing is so natural. Love his testimony.

Hi all, I am from Johannesburg South african and Finally we could get The CHosen Season 1, my word, I have no words, my twin girls of 6 is watching with and last night we watch the last episode, there is no words to put when watching The Chosen, it is like I am with the team, the disciples, Jesus and all, walking and talking, it is beautiful, it is humble, it is precious and a new light of who Jesus is and who His disciples were, they were not just there, they had character just like Jesus had, we tend to read the stories and the Bible and think these were just people but NO they werent, they were eating and drinking, laughing , playing and just be, like US! I wish I could setup an Agency in South africa to buy the t shirts and hoodies and all, I am very very proud of you Dallas, you and all of them, the way you portrait the Characters is stunning, very passionate and very human. Truly thank you for creating this beautiful passionate story in this day and age we live in! Blessings, Elanie

I love the way God works things out in our lives. He will answer our prayers with such simplicity, yet so cleverly poignant...I’m always amazed by his brilliance. He makes it so easy to fall in love with him.

[@eternalfreedomchasing1068]

I had never seen this testimony before tonight, and to see this after the huge hit that was season one, and the huge hit that was the premiere of season two (which I have yet to watch) - it's amazing. I had already rediscovered God and stepped back into a relationship with Christ when I first watched The Chosen, but even so, it's been so powerful to have that visualization of the life of Christ and the people he encountered. One day, only a couple of years ago, after rededicating my life to Christ, I went up for prayer at church. I have lived a life where I walked with God for some time, then rejected him and fell into sin, and became so broken that I cried out in despair and felt the presence of God in a remarkable, undeniable way. That day, when I went up for prayer, my pastor said to me: "As you walked up here, I felt God say 'Peter stands before you.'" Witnessing the moment when Jesus called Peter had such an impact on me because of that one thing that was spoken to me. And seeing the behind the scenes video of Dallas in Israel, talking about that exact moment, mentioning that Peter was a tradesman and likely not a good student made it all resonate so much more with me because I've struggled academically to the point where I stayed back once in high school and ended up dropping out of college. Thank you, Dallas, for answering the call that God put on your heart, and stepping out in faith to create The Chosen.

[@GodsOath_com]

God said no to the assistance from the world as he always does, he broke you then he blessed you and now he's served the chosen to all of us.

[@jenniferboyd2200]

So helpful. Oh my socks. I was so low today. Family stuff. Med stuff....it's complicated. This turned it around the right ✅ direction. Thank you. Bless you.

[@michellekamyszek7230]

Many blessings in your upcoming monumental shoot of feeding the 5,000 , am in love with the series and so amazing how the spirit is working they you.

[@nkosinathimlotsa1447]

The chosen blessed me so much, I commend it to everyone I love and those who have watched it have also been so blessed by it. Thanks for being obedient.

[@mayorofblugsnax]

I never even thought about watching the Chosen, my brother would always recommend it to me, But my spirit denied it, It wasn't until season 3 came out that I asked the Lord to come into my life and change it, because up until that point I had tried doing everything myself. The lord changed me life, this was Oct 2022, I binged watched everything The Chosen, have been reading my bible every single day since, And now my entire family is talking about God more and how everything that happens in our life is his plan. Remember this started with just my brother trying to tell our family about The Chosen, before Our family even got super faithful He was the only one to be constantly talking about him, Now i know that my brother was just supplying the 5 loaves and 2 fish.

[@nataliahegai]

Wow!!! To experience such moment you shared about . . . Is to live. God is amazing. You are so blessed, Jenkins!!!

[@JW-yf4gf]

Thank you Dallas for sending me the notice that landed me here. I am amazed too how God has blessed this whole project for you and the staff you have . Like most all of the comments below, I am so thankful for the the first short film "The Shepard" and then "The Chosen" They were so powerful and life changing for me, a wandering back sliding Christian with wavering faith. THANK you for bringing the Gospel to me in such a wonderful way!

[@springnsunshine]

This video just showed up on my timeline or whatever it is they call on KZbin. I decided to watch it and I've left feeling encouraged and challenge. It's like saying it's my job to report for duty in God's kingdom. Once again thank you 💪💪💪

[@celitad.p.934]

No words to explain how I NEEDED to hear your 2 points. Like, I have no idea how I didn't hear this sooner, but the Lord knew I needes it TODAY. "I DO IMPOSSIBLE MATH." - JESUS "Remember, your job is NOT to feed the 5,000, it's only to provide the loaves and fish." - the Lord through a Romanian brother Oh, Jesus, thank You!!! You know how to work ALL things together for Your perfect good. Thank You for providing to have The Resurrection of Gavin Stone created, funded, etc... You provided that for a reason. You also provided for that seeming "failure", but, that closed door, to draw together Your creative nature and the Jenkin's family's brokenness to work together to bring The Chosen into being. How absolutely amazing of You, Jesus. Thank You for speaking to our hearts, ministering to us, and for Your love and care. All glory, power, and praise be unto You, Jesus!!!

[@deborahmillette]

Praise Jesus Dallas what a testimony 🙏🏽❤️✝️

[@tiffanyl4829]

I confess to being a lukewarm Christian prior to this show. It reawakened in me my longing not just for Jesus but the community of followers. I honestly pray for nothing but blessings. I have bought 3 hoodies, 3 long sleeve tees, 2 copies of the DVD sets and told everyone I know. Keep it up, Dallas. Oh and I loved the Resurrection of Gavin Stone. I saw that before the Chosen.

[@cristinapazos10]

Today, in my time with GOD, i read the miracle of feeding the 5000, and i remembered that quote that Dallas Jenkins said “It’s not your job to feed the 5000, only to provide the loaves and fishes”, and how The Chosen is really a miracle, and big blessing in my life to see Jesus closer and more personal. Thanks The Chosen!

[@kylesoong]

I can’t really express how much this is relevant to filmmaker like myself, those hardships and wandering in the dark of the valleys in our creative life will not be wasted in the hand of Christ who continue moulding us to be humble into a vessel who willing to use by Him to make content that serve for the needy.. thanks for the hard works you have put into the series I really love it, I have not stopped to introduce The Chosen to my christian communities even though we are primarily speaking mandarin, and yet the films are powerfully presenting who Jesus is!!! Keep going brother 💪🏻

[@TheChosenSeries]

Thanks for the encouragement Kyle!

[@misskat7437]

Awwwwwweee I like how he was poking fun at his doctrine- but it’s evident that he is Holy Spirit filled. When people hear the voice of God it’s not typically an audible voice, but an internal knowing that can’t be described. God’s voice will always present itself in ways that free you- and that’s what’s so beautiful about conviction. It’s our selfishness that turns against being challenged by those who can bless us through our blind spots. God’s plans are to prosper and not to harm...

[@jacquelinespencer9595]

Sometimes we need to "let go and let God". So very thankful for your contribution to The Chosen.

[@rejnialphons8339]

What a wonder you are Lord!!!. Chosen is an Eye-opener especially for the new generation. But the beauty is that behind that there is a story of trust in the Lord in the failure time, listen to Thy words and a complete obedience of a family. 👏👏👏Great Testimony. May God bless this Man, his beautiful family and each members of Chosen family more to work for Thy Kingdom. We are repeatedly seeing each episode in prayers anf each time God giving us more convictions. Its a great tool for evangelization.Thank Lord.... Eagerly Waiting for 6th episode

[@bambicampbell247]

In October we experienced a miracle when our daughter went into acute respiratory failure. I have not been the same since because God taught me the Gospel in a hospital waiting room. Since then I've been researching. I can clearly see who knows truth, and who doesn't now because I know him. You guys know the truth. I'm praying soooo hard for this project. I just finished the first season. Hearing the story behind it has BLESSED my heart. Keep going brother! Keep going!

[@Grateful7777]
