Thankful for this conversation. Great to have you visit us and can’t wait to share Season 4 with you.
May God bless your show. And I pray that the Holy Spirit guides it and really shows God's love for all of us through his son Jesus.
Hope you read The Bible NKJV OR KJV
@@MoEl-yt6eo Right?!!??
Most people don't realize it's not biblical, wouldn't watch that so called movie
Hollywood making christian movies would be like saying Disney produces kid friendly shows😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@MoEl-yt6eo Hope they read the Bible period!
That was so awesome you guys being on CBS Sunday Morning ☀️🥰🥰 Can’t Wait For Season 4 Episodes 1-3 next month 🩵🩵✝️🩵🩵😊
Love this show. Brought me out of a deep depression, God used it to get me back to reading His word again. Praise Jesus ❤
No magic was used here.
Hearing this kind of testimony is what I love❤️ most about The Chosen! A woman in France who was embittered and suicidal after the breakup of her 45 year marriage had the same kind of testimony!
She said she broke down in sobs watching the Mary Magdalene encounter with JESUS scene from episode 1 of Season 1 and that The Chosen restored her Faith in GOD 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️🙏💙🙏✝️✝️✝️
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm Jewish and love this show. I'm learning and appreciating so much about our shared history and values.
L'chaim. God said, make Israel one. It means to bring peace and reconciliation between Jew, Christian, Muslim, cousins by Abraham. )
Jesus loves you ❤
@@thearab3759 Shukrun. We are all God's children. My Hebrew name Jacova is the female form of Jacob.
The first followers of Jesus and Jesus himself are Jews too. We are brothers and sisters united in our love of God❤
@tbastrikes7847 Thank you, brother. Tears of joy I cry from my eyes, heart, and soul.🙏♥️🫂✌️🙏♥️♥️♥️😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
I stumbled upon this series and beforehand I was lost contemplating suicide alone for so long that i hadn't felt another human being touch me speak to me with kindness just as low as possible. This series has filled me with such Joy and Hope that ive begun to pick up the pieces of my life and learn to live again. Im still alone,alive but have HOPE. Without hope a human is lost. Praise God for putting the spark into this creation 🙌 🙏 ✨️ ❤️ 💖 👏

@@vickistewart Bless you for doing that Vicki❣️ It's become a life-changing show for so many around the world!!! The testimonies of people's broken hearts being healed all around the world, and of others being inspired to read or re-read the Bible after watching this magnificent show are truly heart-warming 💕
LORD JESUS healer of the brokenhearted , LORD save Your people 🙏💙🙏✝️✝️✝️💖💖💖
@@everyisnaadisfabricated3784 I hope you become like Paul who was a Pharisee, teacher of the Law, knowing Scriptures so well, but persecuted Christians. God called him to be his disciple on the road to Damascus. It is well known that the Old Testament is connected to the New Testament.
God brought you to the series as he did me & I Thank & Praise him for it or I wouldn't be writing this right now. God Bless you Christopher. I was meant to be right here, right now and Thank God that you are here too ✝️🙏❤️
The scene where Simon is hanging on to Jesus for dear life saying Lord never let me go,while all around the storm rages really hit home for me...
I just found out about this show last week and I’ve already completed watching the entire 3 seasons… and that was my favourite scene!!! The entire episode watching Simon have his doubts, then challenge Jesus as he steps out onto the sea, then Jesus pulling him up and Simon weeping into Jesus’ arms… that was so moving. I too was almost in tears. This is a ridiculously good show!!!
This series has brought me to tears more times than I can count . This coming from a hardened Marine . Our God is AWESOME !
This show even pulled my teenage son in at 14 and at 18 he is still loving it. We have had so many deep conversations about Jesus and subjects related to the Bible after watching The Chosen together and I am so grateful for those moments.
Highly, highly recommend as it so beautifully done.
I was one of those fans at Chosen Con in Dallas, I'm 57 and disabled ( walking kills my back) but there was no way I was going to miss it! I found the series right after season 1 aired, I remember stumbling across it late one night when my pain was so bad I couldn't sleep, I saw it and yes I've seen many movies/ shows about Jesus and I thought Humm, well I'll give it a try. After that first episode I called my best friend of 43yrs and said my gosh you've got to watch! I cried, laughed and yes prayed. I'll admit I was your quintessential backslider if there is such a thing. I had been saved, went to church, took my children and as they say, life and 2 abusive relationships got in the way. I have read some of the Bible and honestly it was always hard to picture these ppl. It was a time so long ago it would almost be like stepping on to another planet if sent back there now. But my gosh, what a true God given talent Dallas and the other writers have for quite literally pulling these people, these places right off the page!! It is like all of the sudden you're seeing in 4D and color for the first time. Do I mind the creative license he takes, not a bit because he and his go to team are so studied that they know what and how life would have looked back then, how many people lived and yes how their lives probably were. So yes maybe some things aren't exact but they are exact enough for me! I appreciate the attention to detail, like everyone isn't freshly polished and all wearing sparkling clothes, Jesus doesn't look like he stepped off the cloud with glowing robes and such. Dallas brings forth the gospel and adds in the daily grit and I'm so happy God led him down this path! I've since rededicated my life to God, been baptized finally! And never ever miss an episode. I try to make it to the theatrical releases, I did miss Christmas with The Chosen, I was sick and my best friend was fighting covid, however I've caught it on Prime😉
Oh and we've already got our tickets for season 4 1-3 and 4-6 we will be getting the others after Christmas. Yes we are so grateful to Dallas, his family, the cast and crew.. THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your doing to spread God's word. To give people a whole new look of The New Testament. God Bless you!
Merry Christmas ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I have struggled with addiction basically my whole life and the episode where Mary Magdalene relapsed literally made me bust out in tears
Man I can relate, hear you loud and clear. Powerful how she chose to get up and go back to Jesus.
Please get out of addiction. I know my friend who got caught by police at a public park due to his crazy behaviors, and eventually put to jail. He went through rehab, relapse and rehab again. Now he is clean and started a new life. God loves you. Hold onto him.
God is clearly using Dallas, Jonathan and everyone involved with The Chosen as a beautiful tools to bring people closer to Him.
I absolutely love The Chosen! The show is beautiful. Rumi isn’t Jesus BUT he portrays the most beautiful depiction of I’ve ever seen and I grew up with varied depictions of Jesus. I just love the way he presents Jesus as funny and loving but also mission driven and intentional.
what roumie isn't jesus? God help us!
So glad that CBS Sunday Morning did this clip on The Chosen! Such a good show!!
My Sister & I were extras on The Feeding of the 5000! Or as us extras called it The Feeding of the Fried Thousands! It was hot! But! I wouldn’t trade a second of this experience and the crew all took such good care of us! Plenty of water,electrolytes, sunscreen and bug wipes. And our meals provided by Wolf Gang Puks Catering! This show is so special to me personally, it’s really brought the scriptures to life and I would reference The Bible to see what was scripture and what was script.
I also love that Jesus has a good clean sense of humor! If you haven’t watched it, PLEASE DO!
I can’t say enough good things about it! ❤
Thank you CBS for interviewing Dallas and Johnathan! It's my favorite show and it has enriched all my relationships!! 💝💞
So happy to see this wonderful show covered by Sunday Morning!!!
LOVE “The Chosen”! Beautifully written. Modern day conversations while depicting the Gospels. No King James-speak of “thee’s” or “thou’s.” Real people. Real questions. Real doubt. Real compassion. ❤️
and no real Bible either!
I don't think we should be replacing scripture with tv, but I love love LOVE The Chosen. If it did nothing else, it brought bible characters to life, gave them faces, and created scenes so now when I read my Bible, I can see it.
Without placing it on tv the history will forgotten
Dallas isn't trying to replace scripture! This is a creative production, bringing the Bible and all those who encountered Jesus to life so that we can relate to Jesus on a deeper level. He said from the very beginning that the Chosen does not follow scripture exactly, nor was that his intention.
@@cindyp9158 Oh, I didn't think he did. I just mean that's what a lot of people say, that they've turned Jesus into entertainment. I don't believe that at all, and as someone else said, I'm grateful for the platforms we have today. I mean, we even have Christian anime and comic books now! Not my thing, but I have a teenager who isn't interested in KJV monotone nonsense out of the pulpit, but he loves anime. Jesus reached people where they were at, and it should still be that way.
@@anaekeharry9570 really? Is that why the Bible is still the most purchased and most translated book now, and when there was no TV? You think anything can cause Jesus to be forgotten? There are countries where Bibles have to be sneaked into, so how are those people maintaining their faith without a TV show!
@@cindyp9158 The Bible has always been alive and millions 'relate' to Jesus without TV shows, and that is due to the womderful Ministry of the Holy Spirit! He makes everything real and relatable! Yay Holy Spirit!
The Chosen is a wondeful show and has inspired so many people to go to The Word. What a blessing!
As a Catholic I love how the relationship between Jesus and his mother is portrayed. Love this series 😊
of course you do
@@hamilton4969 Glad you agree 😊
Having been both Evangelical Protestant and now a Catholic I love the show too and how it's opening hearts for JESUS all over the world ❣️❣️❣️🙏💙🙏
The Chosen Oct 2023 viewer comments:

“I can't get enough! I've been binging this show for the last week all 3 seasons. I had no idea how powerful it would be.”
So Many walks of faiths have joined their churches' Chosen Bible study with a desire to learn.
It’s the best series ever! It’s insightful, I am loving every moment 🙏🏻
The Chosen show brings to life the Bible stories of Jesus for me and it is wonderful 🙏✌️👍
Bravo for.CBS covering this amazing series and doing in a way that opens the door for non believers to check it out. The series has brought thousands closer to God, healed hearts and renewed faith and frankly, theres no accidents its occuring now, when we need it the most. God bless you anyone reading this and I pray that your mind is renewed for God does love you, and has a good plan for you... He just is waiting for you to CHOOSE Him. ❤
Oh please. It's a story. A made up story just like Lord of the Rings or Outlander. Stop being silly.
@@sdigf3167AMEN 😅
TOTALLY AGREE, there's a lot of lost sheep, the ones who made this so called movie or series...and the ones who actually believe it biblical 🙏
@@sdigf3167love your comment...I am at awe the fact that they made all this up a lot of this. Follow the bible people!!!
Really blasphemous 🙏
Amém 🙏
@@gcidade Awomen
This series is so powerful that through it, God brought me out of a deep depression. I feel a sense of hope and joy I haven't felt in a long time. It has brought the whole story of Jesus' life and ministry alive for me! My old stale way of looking at this amazing story has fallen away. And I know I'm far from the only one who feels this. Blessings to everyone involved in this project. I thank God for it every day now.
So the series healed you and not God? Isn't that the definition of idolatry?
@dd41283 No, it is not if you really read my message. I said the series has brought the whole story of Jesus's life and ministry alive for me. HE healed me by reaching me through the series. God uses anything and everything to reach us.
My friend why you are looking around on this page for messages to object to? Wouldn't your time be better spent trying to emulate Jesus by spreading love and joy? I will pray for you that you see that love is the answer and not condemnation. Peace.
I love The Chosen, thanks for showing this.
Thanks for doing this piece! I have never been one for super fandom let alone just a regular fan! I never got obsession over shows or movies, etc. But The Chosen has changed that for me, I am a super fan! It's bringing a lot of people together that wouldn't ordinarily would even cross paths!
Thank you for shining lights on the real meaning of Christmas the birth of Jesus.
I saw the first episode when it hit RUclips. Watched it three times in a row and cried each time. Reminded me these were actual people with same troubles, fears and questions we have today. God really does love us. Thanks for shining a light on this.
Yup the Passion of the Christ showed that Love!
Love love love the Chosen. Thanks for the coverage CBS :)
This brought tears to my eyes. Jesus is love and forgiveness. What we all need and want. That is a miracle. I have not been privileged enough to see the chosen but I am privileged enough to see this review, thank you for showing it.
Who here is a chosen fan?
I'm a Bible Fan!
Thank you for covering this - very interesting and well presented. I love The Chosen!
Love that one of my favorite shows, @cbs Sunday Morning, it is having a segment on the Chosen! The Chosen is so real and can convert anyone! To follow Jesus and known that he is with you, it is the best thing that can happen to anyone on earth! ❤❤
If the show inspires people to help the less fortunate (e.g, homeless, illegal immigrants), the sick, the outcasts, the oppressed, that’s great for all of us. Love CBS Sunday Mornings.
For anyone wondering if the Chosen changes scriptures- it doesn’t. It “adds twists”, i.e includes parts in the script that aren’t in scripture (and so the director himself explains that the goal is NOT to replace scripture but to make a relatable depiction of the apostles and Christ, so these “twists” are in service of that). Check their channel- Dallas answers questions there.
There’s so much more to the gospel and Christ than what is shown, but the Chosen is a good way to empathize and imagine what it would have really been like to live life with Christ as His friend and follower. It should make us want to read scriptures more, if anything.
The reason why they don’t include everything Christ says (especially the less easy ones to take in) is because it would require so much more theology and a degree of devotion to Christ already to understand these things. This is why we should read scripture, on top of watching the show.
We must take everything with a grain of salt of course. But let’s not dismiss a show that has united Christians from all denominations and brought hundreds back to their faith. We can judge anything based on its fruit…and this show has bore much good fruit :)
I have been so blessed by this show! It has changed my life and faith. I've also been able to be a background several times. My little sister and I popped up for a second in this video when taking about the extras. I'm the extra covering my mouth and the girl sitting next to me on the bus is my little sister. Wasn't expecting to see our faces here!
I love this show! My kids feel so much closer to the Lord. They have told me it is going to be difficult for them to see Christ being crucified.
It's great to see people are watching this
Love this show! Looking forward to season 4
The chosen and all actors are amazing and realistic to the biblical word of God and Johnathon Roomy plays Jesus well.
I started watching this show during the lowest time of my life. 💔
Seeing Mary and Matthew spoke volumes. Thank you to the amazing cast and crew.
Merry Christmas everyone 🕯️🤍✨🎶 Also, thank you for inspiring musicians, to television, and society. May we all pay it forward.
To God all of the Glory.
YES!! That’s exactly what I love about it. Jesus was 100% human!! Not an angelic being who came down to earth. He came as us, HUMAN. And his disciples also had problems, doubts, questions, struggles, just like all of us. But that is where FAITH lifts us all up!
Fully man yet Fully God . Jesus was born of a Virgin. Immaculate conception.
God is spirit
He is a Triune God
God the Father
God the Son
God the Holy Spirit
This show isn't helping you as you think. Please read the Bible and ask God to show you
Read the Book of John.
And yes, all of the disciples were human and had troubles as we all do.
This show is deceiving millions of people and they can't even see it 😢
I ❤ this show! I read the Bible differently now. It’s easier to decipher the difference between the New Testament writers and characters when putting a personality to them.
The best series ever. I love the Chosen..
What I love the most about this show is the portrayal of Jesus and the disciples and how down to earth they are. They aren’t presented like in other religious outlets as the high and mighty but rather on a more human level to which I can relate to them and their struggles. Very well done!
In other words, Humanism.
Well, they are human, so there is that. I agree 100%
Thank you Jesus for all your blessings on the whole world we need you so much for peace 🙏🙏✝️✝️❤️
Terrific interview... congratulations to Dallas and the whole Chosen team!
This is a great series! My wife and I can’t wait for Season 4! Like Dallas Jenkins, my wife and I are Evangelical Protestants and firm believers in Jesus!
Geshem Israel Geshem Israel elehenu Adonai Hashem. I was born March 11th in Bethlehem. L'chaim. P.S. go read Hebrews 6:19 anchor of the Soul
@@jacovawernett3077 What does Hashem mean in Hebrew?
How does it end? Do you think after execution they let him decay on the cross, or will they put him in a mass grave?
@@johnherlihy4739 Hashem means The Name.
@sdigf3167 No, he did not rot on the cross. Mary Magdelene found him. Would you let your loved one just rot somewhere. I hope not. L'chaim
I'm watching this in Africa and I'm tearing up.
How can I be part of this new people of God.
Thank you❤❤❤
But this Show has saved thousands of believers praise Dallas And the cast for the outstanding job of promoting the gospel and storytelling of Jesus and the apostles I have watched it all 3 seasons multiple times and can’t wait for season 4 too bad cbs couldn’t pick it up after 60 min , guess I’ll have to keep watching it on the app and the CW channel 👍
This show has helped so many people see our Savior and the Apostles as loving and struggling humans who are approachable and relatable. A definite blessing in many people’s lives.
Miracles all around for Jonathan Dallas the show. Viewership crowdfunding 10’s of millions of dollars 200 million viewers. Definitely miraculous! I would like to hear a flip side how it’s not miracles and debate
There's hope!
Sometimes I have issues with certain production or creative choices they make. I have to remind myself that not all of "The Chosen" is scripturally accurate. Mary Magdalene's relapse, for example, isn't mentioned anywhere. But where the show shines is its portrayal of what IS in Scripture along with the historical scene-setting. The writing and acting are superb; now read the Bible to know the difference between fact and storytelling (even Dallas Jenkins agrees with that), and let the Holy Spirit take it from there.
I love this series SOOOOO much! I love that it's made it's way to mainstream TV! I love that Jonathan was on the cover of TV Guide as Jesus Christ! That's historic! I love that this show is changing so many lives, even children who beg to stay up and watch Jesus, and have Chosen themed birthday parties! (these videos are beyond adorable!) I love that this is being made by believers of Christ, and hoping that even the production crew who aren't believers are touched by this show. I love that there was an actual Chosen convention! (which I hope to attend at some point). I love that this series goes beyond your typical Jesus movie or mini series. Thank you, Dallas, Jonathan and all for such a wonderful look at the life of Jesus Christ and His followers! God Bless you ALL! ✝🥰
I’m glad that you enjoy the show. There’s nothing historic about an actor who plays Jesus being on the cover of TV guide.
Read the Bible for the truth. 98% of the content of this show is fiction.
@@mitch103178 For a liberal magazine having Jesus on the cover is a historic 😊
"It goes beyond the typical Jesus movie"...oh you mean one like Jesus of Nazareth that glorifies alot ot Jesus' own words and teachings! yes I see...wouldn't want to really be bored with hearing Christs' glorious teachings all through the movie!
Wonderful! Thank you for covering this. "People must know." Indeed!
My favorite show EVER ❤❤
Great report/ wonderful show, casting, writing, everything. And the Christmas special that we streamed last night was ‘chef’s kiss’, so good. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I absolutely love The Chosen. Its such an incredible show that makes Jesus so much more real to me.
Have you tried reading the word of God for that? Rather than a show written by a mormon and portrayed using a Catholic Nights Templar actor?
@@nathananderton8546 whos the actor
Thank you for posting it. I missed watching it this morning. Blessed Christmas to all.
Today is Christmas Day 2023; Merry Christmas to you and not Happy Holidays.
Thank you for this showing the lay out of this show...chosen
Love the show. In this world it's needed.
❤❤❤ This show has been impactful in my life. Thank you for sharing!
Well done cbs thank you
pretty outstanding story all around ... thanks SUNDAY MORNINGS
I was looking for God and I found, The Chosen and I found a Bible teaching church afterwards God is good!
Beautifully made
Awesome story! Glad The Chosen is being spotlighted.
Best series ever!
Thanks Dallas for such a good report on the Chosen. I agree that each person has to experience Jesus in order to convert to Christianity 👏🕊☘️❣️
Great seeing the backdrop to my favourite show thank you
When so much about Christianity today is told, at worst, with disdain and at best, with indifference, I appreciate this kind and objective approach to The Chosen, which has become so near and dear to many.
I feel in love with the man I imagine Jesus was is when I thought of this man struggling with the issues we all struggle with. "Why have you forsaken me!" This was a real human who delivered a divine mystery within each of us. If we awaken. (Some would say- born again) The kingdom of God is within you... (That is my best guess)
We are always yearning for God. Whether we realize this or not doesn’t matter……God never stops waiting.
Finally featured something worthwhile on your show
This show is awesome.👏🏿. I love ❤️ it. Looking forward to see Season 4, show 4, 5, and 6. Thank you Dallas Jenkins for creating The Chosen 😊
🙏🏻praying for The Chosen season 4! I know the wait will be worth the wait!♥️
“18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Revelation 22:18-19.
My favorite and most important show on television! For my faith and my spirit. God Bless.
It is a fantastic show! I tell everyone about it.
Best show that is stunning Hollywood and bringing people back to Hope in God! Yes, we want better content on TV and this proves it!
The greatest factual story ever told. The Chosen defines the life of Christ.
What a great series !!
Love the show!!!
I love Bible series!! I was watching Brazilian Bible series and theyre amazing now I’ll watch this one💖
Great program
Greatest story of a most courageous man...
I love The Chosen! Keep up the great work guys!
Terrific series! Glad they did this interview ❤
If you haven't seen the show, take a chance an watch it! You won't regret it!
Thank you Dallas Jenkins !!!!!
Thank you for showing this. We don’t miss a episode ✝️🙏🏻 8:17
Great interview!
God Bless all of you❤
We first learned about "The Chosen" while looking for a Holy Week show to watch in 2021. We were familiar with Jesus story movies from the 60s and 70s, but then we found Episode 1 of Season 1 where Jesus meets and calls his disciples. We were hooked! When the opportunity to become part of the feeding of the 5K, we jumped on it right away. It was an amazing experience!
So proud of everyone. Thank you and God Bless. ❤❤❤ deb
I absolutely love The Chosen, which is a true depiction of Jesus' life.
For a true and accurate depiction of Jesus life check out the four gospels in the bible which differ greatly from the Chosen.
Stay humble, folks, keep God first, stay humble.
I loved this video awesome show... Jonathan Roumie you are brilliant
So cute they labeled it a "new twist" this is what its been all along.
