- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Working on a faith-based project didn't initially sound appealing to Yoshi Barrigas - the actor portraying the disciple Philip in "The Chosen" - but a chance, or perhaps divine, encounter with pop star Justin Bieber helped change his perspective.

It seems as though most of the main cast members were struggling with something prior to being cast in The Chosen. I believe God handpicked each one of them for a purpose. It doesn’t matter where they’re at in their faith journey, God handpicked them for a reason.
Amen. Totally agree with you
Yes
I agree! And it’s beautiful to watch because people who are watching can relate!
Amen
I love your perspective. I get disappointed when I hear the cast talk and they aren’t sold out for Jesus! But you are right. God hand picked them. Even if they don’t come to a saving faith themselves (I pray they do) God is using them to bring others closer to Jesus. Gods ways are perfect!!
Anyone else smile when he said he was reading a book and someone says "What are you reading?" Philip in the Bible says the exact same thing to the Ethiopian and he explains the Old Testament to him!
How cool is God!!!!!!
Oh wow!!! 😄 didn't notice that!! So cool!
Wow wow!!!
So this Yoshi guy plays Philip but in real life he had a moment where Art imitated Life (but in reverse) where Justin Bieber was Philip & Yoshi was the Ethiopian eunuch?
From Acts 8: He (The Ethiopian Eunuch) had come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
what chapter?
Acts 8
This man is a new Christian just learning. He is still in Egypt but he’s getting closer to the Promise land. And honestly his role in the Chosen is helping him. Every single person comes from a different situation and often needs different stimulus to help them know the Lord. So give him a chance--people--pray for him! Many actors are not your run-of-the-mill people. So whoever God is calling and that is everybody let’s pray for all of us to get to him whatever way he finds that will help us.
I love 💗 too funny 😄 lol 😝
Amen. Beautifully said
Amen
This man said nothing that would indicate that he is born again, so don't stop praying for any of the actors/actresses on The Chosen.
@@sharonspencer2312 that's right, he never claimed Jesus. It was all intellectual. We do need to keep praying for them!
Wow this is so beautiful! So glad Justin is using his gift of fame to give praise to the true king! ❤
True
Amen❤🔥🎉
Honestly he portrays and plays Phillip so flawlessly. It has to be the Spirit moving through him and him learning through it!
@Dakota Bledsoe I see what your saying but God can work through anyone for his divine purpose. There were many times in history (especially biblical history) where rulers or people of prominence were moved by the spirit to favor Israel or obey the Lord in an instance regardless of them having known God personally at the time.
@Scribeintheink Life begins at conception, not birth. We are alive before we are born. It is very unwise to say definitively what the Holy Spirit is NOT doing. Do you know where the wind comes from or where it intends to go?
@@lucduchien likewise, we shouldn't say what it IS doing either?
@Scribeintheink I appreciate your Biblical view...I really do. However, I do believe that that it is also Biblical to say that the Holy Spirit moves and interacts with many...even those that are not yet saved. However, the Holy Spirit does indeed find a home with the Christian who becomes a receptive temple once they have accepted Christ. I believe that Scripture testifies to the Spirit working in both ways.
It's amazing how Yoshi was reading a book and Justin Bieber kind of came and explained it to him...
But he plays Philip, who pretty much did the exact same thing in Acts, explain an OT book to the Ethiopian Eunuch reading it. Mind boggling !
God is All Knowing & Justin Wittnessed to Youssi was Philip 😇 No Accident
Glad to hear how God is working in his life. God is surely using The Chosen to do people get to know Him. Praise the Lord!
Pray for all the cast. I love their honesty with where they're at! God bless them all!
Who would of thought Justin would witness to him and now this guy plays one the stars on the biggest global series ever!!!! Over 400 million views on the chosen! God is truly amazing and will use people unexpectedly to further the kingdom! Wow God is good!!!!!!!!
Yoshi is a great character as Philip in the Chosen. Clearly the Lord is revealing himself to him in special ways. We are so blessed to see this beautiful show for years to come.
A M E N!!!🤗💗
@Dakota Bledsoe
What is your problem man? As if God can’t, won’t, or doesn’t use people who aren’t 100% bought in yet? The Bible is full of situations like that…
A really thoughtful interview. Clearly this man spends a lot of time thinking. Lots to think about here about letting people learn and grow on their own terms.
Any idea who the interviewer is? Thank You!
Huge fan of the character of Phillip! Thank you for bringing him to us!
You’re so Philip!😂 Even of script😂 I love it!😍 Love when people don’t act, but are genuine! Keep chasing truth and compassion! Thanks for shearing!💛
Wow this man is so incredibly deep, profound, and intelligent. So impressed by how well spoken and perfect he is for his role as Phillip
Yea wish he hadn’t left the part- not sure if going yo get use to the new guy 😞
I feel so good seeing more and more becoming believers... I used to be very atheist a couple years ago but started to actually be open minded about God and Christianity, last few months I've been listening to NLT Dramatized audio, which is a little dated but is better for listening to. For reading I really like the NASB95/20 versions, it puts it into clear and fairly accurate words that are easier to understand IMO. Praise God for waking more and more up!
I hope this actor gets saved.
Yes! When he mentioned Bieber offered to introduce him to "his church", rather than The Savior, and knowing about his pastor has no quams about having a beer, among other things, a red flag went up! He mentions in the beginning of this interview, being exposed to "faith" not Jesus, he is careful not to confess Jesus by saying his name. Watch on RUclips about The Chosen Exposed & about the Mormon owned & based company! It is 5 hours long, but in the first 15 - 30 minutes you will be informed about the facts and later will see & hear interviews with Dallas and Romme that point out this is an Ecumenical movement, as well as other revelations of the personal lives and beliefs, that don't match up! After 38 Years saved, and in the ministry, it is hard not to discern what is going on. Really pray for these actors and Dallas Jenkins who says the Mormons believe in the SAME JESUS!
I think we are watching more than one story with this show! The Chosen, AND the story of each of the real people, like Yoshi, playing their character in the show. You can see God at work in each individual, as well as my own life as a long time Christian. God has something for all of us in this! Yoshi, I love your character. Thank you for bringing it!
I absolutely love “The Chosen” so much. It’s storyline & tying characters together is more than plausible. I find it so relaxing that I watch a part or a whole episode of Season 1 & 2 every night at bedtime. Like the Bible, I feel that these stories are alive
w/something new that I discover every time I watch it! I’m so thankful for Dallas, Ryan, & all the ppl involved in this project that is reaching so many folks that haven’t ever heard the gospel from this & are now reading the Bible to dig deeper into who Jesus is as God in human flesh…the Savior of our immortal soul’s! He’s the only way to get out of here alive…forever! Never any pain, sorrow, loss, or worry for all eternity!! Shout out to Yoshi & all the actors in this series for bringing the disciples lives
w/Jesus into the mainstream so everyone has the opportunity to hear these stories that Jesus brought through his ministry & life while here as a man to never be forgotten over 2,000 yrs later! It’s so exciting! Praise be to God! ☝🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼
Amen😇🤗💝🙏
I, too, absolutely love what Dallas and company are doing with sharing God's reality with the world!!! HOORAY!!!!!!!! Wake up world! The Savior is a-comin' soon!!!! ♥
We’re gonna miss you, Yoshi. This vid just came up on my recommendations, and I had to watch, especially now that you have set out on a separate path. No one knows “the raindrops falling” on their neighbor’s head. Watching this tells me that perhaps you have accepted an invitation to follow Him on a new path.
Shalom, brother.
Wherever your path leads, always remember Joshua 1:9…
And all our hearts will be also.
He is the perfect person to play Philip I love his character. Thank you.
You add so much to the show playing Phillip, you’re brilliant and I love your heart. God is with you thru it all. God’s blessings!
Yes soo sad he left The Chosen 😞 it’s not going to be the same without him- not sure about the new guy- it’ll be hard to see him & not Yoshi
I can tell he is changing maybe from a non believer to feeling God’s presence in his life I pray this is true 🙏🏻
I love that analogy of being an empty flute in which God's song is played through. One thing I like to do when I'm feeling stressed is listen to Native American flute.
This spoke to me. I surrender to whatever you are doing God.
Praying for all the cast of this show on their journeys.
He implied he watched Jordan Peterson's psychological analysis of Genesis. Very cool ... so many paths to the Word.
~Yes, my thoughts exactly, and almost my same story, well, not the Justin Bieber part, but those Old Testament lectures of Jordan Person's played a big part in what brought me to Christianity!!!~☆~
Thank you Yoshi for sharing your story, beautiful and very touching. 💖 God bless you ✨
Yes. When he spoke about the visual representation of Running Up That Hill and how it affected people. The Chosen did that for me with Jesus 🙌🏼
SWEET, DIVINE encounter with Justin. And one of my fav verses is the one you quote in season 2, that even in the depths, God is with us. There is nowhere we can go that God isn't already there. We can't outrun the God of the universe. His omnipresence combined with my finite brain makes it extreemely difficult to grasp, but it all comes down to that I'm far from being God. I'm so grateful His love has no boundaries, that is literally limitless LOVE. Thank you for your honesty... It encourages me to keep reading scripture because I will be the first to say I haven't arrived.
Love this character. Well done and very positive.
Such a lovely interview. Great job, Tre Goins-Phillips.
Thank you! I appreciate that. It was a joy to talk with him. 🙏🏼
I’m so sad that Yoshi is not in the chosen anymore. He was my favorite I wish him the best Gods blessings to him🙏🏼✝️💕
Glory to God. I pray for all cast on Chosen that Father would shine His light of understanding that they may believe and get saved.
I do wish he wasn’t leaving. I really enjoyed him playing Phillip.
The psychological lectures breaking down the old testament he is referring to is Jordan Peterson's lectures on Genesis. He also primed me for coming back to religion. He was so crucial in being a gateway drug to religion for so many rational materialists. I remember listening to him talk about Jesus as a distillation of all moral good, like a hero of heros. And how powerful that is for the human psyche, and how it makes his story "true" in many ways. I remember having to pull my car over and listen intently to it. This was somewhere around 2017. At the time I hadn't been to Church in years in years, never prayed. Fast forward 5 years and I am praying the rosary and attending church regularly. I am sure this has been the case for so may people thanks to JP
I'd challenge you to go beyound the rosery, God wants you to have an open dialogue with Him daily, throughout the day just as you would a friend. To walk with you. Try it
I wanted to mention this is what I was thinking too. In a time of skeptism of religion JP's psychological endevour into the works of Christianity has seemed to hoisted hindered believers to attend to reading the Bible, going to church, seeking communion and community with other people of faith.
Ss. Matthew & Philip on the Chosen are my favorite characters!!! It is an awesome show; God bless!!!!
This was very refreshing. He gets that we let the Lord lead. We need to pray for his walk he is amazing.
Really good interview. Journalist asked very insightful questions
Thank you! He was very generous and thoughtful with his answers.
Yoshi, I'm so sad your leaving. Nobody else seems right for the roll of Phillip. But God always has away....❤️💥🙏😭
Interesting interview. Yoshi is an interesting person and awesome actor.
Thank you!
I love Yoshi as Philip. He's 5 star quality. Excellent performance Yoshi.
God supernaturally abundantly bless you and your and your career as an actor.
🤗❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍🫶
12:44 PM MST
God works in mysterious ways! 🙏 🙌 ✨️ 😀 💯
thank you for all you doing God bless and keep you safe all time 🙏✝️
“I asked god for truth” & this happened…
He heard you.
🙂
I love hearing how God works in people's lives! Thanks for your testimony Yoshi. 🙏🏻
Wow! What wise lessons i am learning from these people. I am so grateful! ❤
The call to do this character is directly or directly from God 🙏❤️
"Be a hollow flute" I love that!
An interesting interview! His encounter with Justin Bieber made me think of the meeting between Phillip and the eunuch, Acts 8:30.
I love Phillip! He's my favorite...I think bc I love Matthew so much. I love em all!
This is amazing! Proof that God is at work in our lives. Imagine how amazing it would be for a person like Justin Bieber be a part of even 1 scene on The Chosen. The impact would be so great with the kind of platform he has. His talent fee would be enormous but I feel like he would do it for free for Jesus. Just a thought. But we will miss you a lot as St. Philip! You did an amazing job. God bless you on your new journey.
oh c'mon someone!
profoundly grateful for you Justin!
Yoshi, my man, what a truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interview at 8:30 is poignant. He was talking about the disciples, but it could apply to everyone who follows Christ or who have questions about following him. If we just let go and let God work through us, trusting in him to guide our lives, amazing things can happen.
Wow! I love that analogy at the end! Also, I found his description of letting God play through you so inspiring. Something I can use to help me present a chapter in Acts on Zoom next week.
Thank you Yoshi for sharing your story!
Enjoyed getting to know Yoshi for 10 minutes! 💗
Luv That!! It's like The Magic School Bus goes into the Bible 😊👍👍
Miss Frizzell, makes it real🌟👌
I enjoyed watching this interview. Yoshi is so good in expressing his thoughts and sentiments, or the way he sees things especially in accordance with The Chosen. Thank you for sharing this. ❤
Why did you leave The Chosen? We loved you as Phillip ❤️ It’s not going to be the same without you 😞 What Happened it’s hard on us to have someone else playing your role 🤷🏻♀️
You played a great Phillip. Best wishes at what ever you do.
Thank you, your perspective on the similarly of "playing" a Disciple & learning to be one... show up & let go... helped tremendously
I was watching Criminal Minds and I’m the episode a group of young adults were eating in the home and when Yoshi came on screen, I was like “Hey, that’s Phillip!”
Totally surrendered to HOLY SPIRIT as he shared about coming on the set
His character it's so interesting, wise and funny. We do have to pray for the cast and crew. They r being impacted by the ones involve that do believe, by the love around them and also about all the things they are now seeking on the bible to prepare for the show, that's a start.
Yoshi is one of the strongest actors on the show.
You've done an amazing job.
Thank you !
The first thing he said about the psychological significance of the Old Testament is definitely a nod towards Jordan Peterson right
~It must be!~And those lectures brought me to Christianity, too!!!~
Great interview!
Great video. You are a great actor and I love watching you. You helping Matthew in the beginning was so good. I know what it is like not being wanted in a group. Great job and God bless you
What a Beautiful Testimony!!! God bless u 😇❤
God is definately seeking him and revealing him to Christ. Now He is waiting for Yoshi to seek Him back. Faith is beyond this world. Yoshi is very close. We all need to surrender and know ONLY God is good. Thank God He is or this world would be completely null and void. Seems like Yoshi needs better teachers. Calvary Chapel Ontario on RUclips is a great relatable guide to study the Word.
also, as a new Christian who has not found a church yet I can understand the individual exploration of the bible but Jesus calls us to unite. that is the very challenge of our world since we have been more isolated now with current media and technology. we are being segregated and encouraged to be self focused more than ever. that is because the only thing that keeps us together is Jesus and none of us make Him the center of our life. I pray Yoshi keeps in the Word but most of all with other humbled Christians and continues his search for God. it goes both ways, God reveals and seeks but He also asks us to seek Him too. Seek the truth and the things that we can't understand will help you trust in Jesus more. We are not called to know all things but just enough that God reveals to us through the only truth which is Christ the Lord and His endless mercy and grace to those who believe and repent and humble themselves. We are all poor in spirit. Thank God that He is endlessly there to save us from that.
That's a great way of putting it.
None of us “come” to the Lord on our own accord. He calls us. How God called me is not how he called my husband. The truth is being revealed to him and however that plays out for him is between him and God. Praying for this man, loving him in the spirit, is our privilege and duty.
Love covers a multitude of sin.
Amazing , well filmed the life of Jesus, very emotional and touchy 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏻
Love the analogy of the hollow flute. Thank you for your beautiful work, Yoshi!
God bless you dear Yoshi!
0:46 yo! Lobster fam! Where you at? 🤣🙋♀️🦞
Thank you for your knowledge and how god prepared you for the auditions for chosen it's so beautiful how god orchestrated you are so perfect to be Phillip well I really enjoyed watching you and the whole cast I love all of you I truly understand more about Jesus and the disciples thank you for sharing I truly appreciate how you explain well said god bless you ☺️
Beautifully expressed the Old Testament and Old Testament coming together I can see God has chosen every actor and actress for the chosen.
Ok but the justin bieber impression was so good-
I love the chosen and the cast!!!!! 😊
The Chosen has affected me in a lot of good ways.
Excellent interview !
I really love this video ❤
This guy is FANTASTIC!! 😃😁🤩😍😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
God is so good and it’s wonderful to see how His plans come together
What an amazing story!!
Continue to grow Yoshi as we all as THE BOC continues to Grow into whom we were made to Be in Christ Jesus
Divine Intelligence is the Grand Master of synchronicities!
Why do i feel like the lectures he's referring to are those of Jordan Peterson 😂
appreciate the dialogue about the dance and serving... eye opening
Homeboy been listening to the Jordan Peterson biblical lectures, but didn't want to drop that controversial name lol
Absolutely love him🙏🙏🙏🙏👋👋👋👋👋
God calls us all, in a way that he knows will reach us. The Father is extremely personal!
I am very thankful for the chosen series but it’s very bizarre to me that this man is leaving everything open to any kind of faith, as he puts it. The chosen points you to Jesus not every other kind of faith.
People come to faith in Christ via all kinds of roads. This is just a step on his journey, and an important one. He went from having no interest in reading the bible or attending church to where he is now, and the Holy Spirit isn't finished with him yet. Just because he's working on the Chosen doesn't mean a switch was flipped and he is now completely rid of all the ideas he had about faith and different religions before. But continuing to focus on Jesus and the scriptures over the course of the show will surely keep him headed in the right direction. God is at work!
Couldn’t agree more 👍🏾
Yes to a degree! And that is the Ecumenical side of "The Chosen movement" that is Mormon owned, and based ! See The Chosen Exposed(5 hr. documentary) Shocking to see and hear the actors, especially Dallas Jenkins saying Christians and Mormons believe in the same Jesus! Before he went into a contract ownership with The LDS machine, he should have done his homework on their belief system, before he made this statement! I too loved the series, but .........now I know, and you will too!
I hear he is not in the series in season 4. He tweeted about it without any detail on why he is gone.
Love Yoshi❤
He is a great actor , i love the show
This is great to know because God always reach out to us in many ways..
Shalom
I Love's it * The Chosen * HalleluYah! ==Amen==
