Page 220: Dallas Jenkins: The Story Behind The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

Nov 22, 2024

For years, Dallas Jenkins had a weekly notification on his phone, “Pray for Pageant.”  Dallas is the creator and director of The Chosen, the first-ever multi-season show about Jesus.  Twenty years ago, Dallas read a beloved children’s novel called, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and fell in love with it.  He just knew he was meant to make that book into a movie.  It wasn’t just a hope or a dream.  To Dallas, it felt like a calling.  But over and over, for years, Dallas was told “no.” There simply seemed to be no way.  This is a story about praying, waiting, and following God's direction, even when there seems to be no hope.
