If you haven’t see The Chosen, I highly recommend it. The writers use a lot of creativity to fill in the gaps leading up to key dialogue moments that are straight from the Gospels. But it is truly compelling entertainment that is true to the message of Jesus. Also gives great context for example, in scenes involving Matthew and just how despised the tax collectors were. I could go on and on. Check it out!

Tell the folks back home it’s the Promised Land calling
And the Poor Boy is on the line.
The Chosen strolls through the four Gospels at the most leisurely pace. I say "leisurely" because after an entire year’s viewing Jesus still has only seven of the apostles (although He's preparing to call up Thomas from the minor leagues--but Thomas is skeptical, of course). Anticipating a canvas of fifty-plus hours instead of a movie's paltry two hours, The Chosen turns the characters (especially including Jesus!) into three-dimensional humans and brings the Gospels alive--you have never seen anything even remotely like it! Here is the Official Trailer.This week, they began filming Season 2!
Where can I see It?
Nothing but respect for these folks.
In all my years banging my head against the Hollywood wall, I got to make a grand total of one Bible movie.
It’s tiring.
