Dallas Jenkins on The Chosen Tv Series

Christian entertainment often gets a bad rap. It’s either seen as cheesy, irrelevant or promoting a dishonest view of the faith. But The Chosen, a television series on the ministry of Jesus which debuted in 2018, seems to stand in a category of its own, being hailed as “Christian America’s Must-See TV Show '' by The Atlantic. The series, which is in its third season, is the highest crowd-funded media project of all time and has had 300 million viewers around the world. Dallas Jenkins, creator, director, and co-writer of The Chosen series, joins the podcast to discuss the show's impact and success. Jenkins is a graduate of the University of Northwestern - St. Paul where he met his wife, Amanda. The two also released an interactive study guide of The Chosen in 2021.
