Summary

Jase, Al, and Zach sit down with Dallas Jenkins, director of “The Chosen,” for a candid peek behind the scenes on faith and filmmaking. Jase shares how Phil used to deal with producers who wanted to water down his Jesus talk, and Dallas walks through the show’s guardrails including script review, theological checks and balances, and a constant aim to point viewers back to Scripture. The guys explore the industry’s pressure to soften explicit faith, and how to keep Jesus’ name loud and clear when the world doesn’t want to hear it. In this episode: John 5, verses 39–40; Hebrews 1, verses 1–3; John 2, verse 19; John 14–16; John 17, verse 11; John 17, verse 12; John 17, verses 18–20; Luke 24, verses 13–35; Acts 1, verse 6 “Unashamed” Episode 1175 is sponsored by: Get $35 off your first box of wild-caught, sustainable seafood—delivered right to your door.
