Summary

Dallas Jenkins is changing the world by telling the greatest story of all time in a completely new way. “The Chosen” makes you feel like you’ve been dropped into the 1st century A.D. with all the social and political tension of Israel under Roman control, and it’s won over countless fans who never thought they’d be this excited to watch a “Jesus show.” And its unconventional style is paying off. On this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast," Dallas gives an insider’s look at “The Chosen” as season 3 begins, including the story of casting Jesus, the incredible experiences that he’s witnessed on-set, and the twists and turns he’s planning for future seasons (FOUR of them!) as he explores the humanity of often one-dimensional characters like Mary Magdalene, Nicodemus, and Judas Iscariot. He also shares what the show has taught him about his own relationship with Christ. Because as the son of "Left Behind" author Jerry B. Jenkins, he feels as though he’s been similarly chosen to spread the Gospel in a unique way.   SPONSORS: Preborn is completely dependent on YOU, the pro-life community, as the company fights the giants.
