All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry

because you're spending your cash in your lives on raising young children in the fear and

admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.

Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness

of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star

review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.

We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much.

God bless. Hi, this is Pastor Joel Weber with Wright Response Ministries, and you're listening to

another episode of Theology Applied. In this particular episode, I was privileged to have as a special

guest, Gabriel Hughes. He is an associate pastor at First Baptist Church in Lindale, Texas,

serving underneath the senior pastor there, who is Tom Buck. He also hosts a podcast called

When We Understand the Text. Now, in this particular episode of Theology Applied,

I had Gabriel Hughes come on the show to talk about the

Chosen series. This is a TV series that has grown in immense popularity. Yet Gabriel and myself,

we want to provide a stark warning to the people of God. We ultimately believe that the chosen TV

series does more harm than it does good.

We list three primary reasons why Christians should avoid watching this TV series, why we believe

it does not honor God and why it actually does detrimental harm to our theology and our faith.

If you're interested in this conversation,

you're in the right place. Tune in now. Applying God's word to every aspect of life. This is Theology Applied. All right, here we are again with another episode of Theology Applied.

I am your host, Pastor Joel Webbin with Right Response Ministries.

As I've already mentioned, our guest for today is Pastor Gabriel Hughes.
