- Jordan Walker Ross plays Little James in The Chosen, but his disability in the show is no act. Born with cerebral palsy and scoliosis, Jordan has sometimes questioned God just like his character. But in this video he answers, “If you had the opportunity to be healed this very moment, would you?” and it may surprise you.

Yes, the app is amazing! Thank you all for making it free and accessible to anyone around the world! Finished 2 seasons and I'm looking forward to starting season 3! 💖💯
I enjoy the show, but I realized there is something you may want to address. Matthias was said to have accompanied Jesus from the time of his baptism through the ascension, and he replaced Judas as an apostle. You might consider somehow writing Matthias into the show to be consistent with the Biblical narrative.
God Bless your work and those whom it reaches!
My my amazing story Sir God bless 🙌
So grateful for this show. My family and I find rest and connection together watching The Chosen. We also create content that could be defined as “different” Come Check Is Our ✌️❤️✅🔔
Look at him now, 😊he has the last laugh ❤
When me and my mom both saw this scene in theaters, we were both touched by it. Being someone born with conditions like ADHD, Autism, mild Celebral paulsy, hydropcephulas, etc. It was hard at a young age to learn how God could use me for his glory and honor. But PRAISE GOD I am currently a sophomore in college studying Theology and wanting to use my degree to show people how God can do ANYTHING and use ANYONE
Amen!! :) You are truly a blessing. A friend of mine used to say over and over and over again to me “You’re a blessing and not a burden”. And after many years of satan trying to use people to make me believe I was a burden, that broke through, and I still hear his voice in my head sometimes. satan knows we are actually powerful BECAUSE of what God has allowed and is doing through us, so he wants to stop us by trying to convince us we aren’t a blessing. he is a liar. We are a blessing, because of God! Amen! SO grateful for God and for you! Much love to you! :)
My favorite characters in The Chosen is Matthew and Little James! ♥️ This is so awesome! Little James’ scene with Jesus about healing hit me so hard, my tears streamed unendingly. And when Jesus reassured him that he will be healed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 God is so good!
what a powerful message has been sent through little james, lovely series💓💓💓💓💓
I cry every time I see this scen. Having CP I can relate to everything he has said. Dallas choosing him for this role is a life changing experience for him & others. He's right, finding acceptance of himself & sharing with others opens doors & heals wounds you don't even know you have, because you've hidden them so long. Thank you for this - it reminds me & inspires me to share "my gift" with others & be proud of who I am just as I am.
What's cp if you don't mind me asking
@@theonly7515 Cerebral Palsy. It is a condition that affects people differntly. Not everyone's condition is the same.
@@tracym9225 ah, thanks for clearing that up
The scene with you and "Jesus" was a very impactful. I struggle wondering why I haven't been healed. I have shed many tears over it. But that scene gave me something new to think about.
Now read, study and listen to the New Testament/Covenant, you will find your answers there. 1 Peter 2 :24,"by His stripes we WERE healed."
Mr. Ross, don't you EVER let others determine YOU. That one scene was so impactful for me (60 and feeling like I'm falling apart). I want to be healed and pain-free, but know I am exactly how I am for a reason. The whole cast has been so inspirational. Please don't ever stop because you just don't know who you are actually reaching. May God continue to bless you as you bless others through your "acting" (you're a natural and it isn't acting). Thank you.
This scene was so powerful. We need to pray over our insecurities, disabilities, and hurts as opportunities to help others.
You did an amazing, heartfelt job in this. It opened my eyes to see all people with love.
I am truly blessed and will be a blessing to others. God Bless You.
This was one of my favorite scenes. I cried like a baby. You can feel the emotions as if they're your own. This wasn't just beautiful acting, this was a heart speaking it's truth and touching thousands of people watching. Including myself. God bless and thank you for being brave enough to put yourself out there like that. What a blessing 🤍
This is incredible and moving story. The Chosen truly is a blessing. Grateful and happy to see the actors benefited from these series
Oh, what a wonderful interview. Yes, I am teary-eyed. The chosen has changed my walk with Christ. It has made me love Jesus more and more. Bless you and thank you.
Jordan is epic! Thank you so much! May God bless you abundantly!
As someone with a disability it means a lot to me that you hired an actor who is disabled. We have a lot to offer society. Thank you.
So true one of the greatest preachers is Nick Vujicic disability does not determine value.
Absolutely. Be advocates for other with disabilities that cannot voice for themselves.
I absolutely agree! I myself was born disabled (Spina Bifida), and seeing that with Little James in the show was so... So impactful. Really hit home. Hard.
Such a powerful video! Thank you for being so open and honest. I think you just being you has helped so many people who are in the same position. God can use us regardless of our limp. God bless and I can’t wait to see little James shine!
The series The Chosen has spoken to millions, particularly the healings. The end of The Good Samaritan, Mary, Peter's grief. The scene with Little James is right up there with them. Excellent Godly work. God's blessings.
This is my all-time favorite scene followed closely by the scene in Clean where the woman was healed by touching Jesus' robe. I suffered with illness for several years, and so the woman's story in the Bible has always resonated with me. I prayed for healing, and it was a long time coming. Her faith was uplifting for me. My healing came in the form of an ostomy, which was NOT my idea of healing. However, it saved my life. This is where the scene with Jesus and Little James' comes to be my favorite scene of the show. This scene was so so so so powerful to me. God uses our weaknesses! He is our strength when we have none! Thank you for this scene. I cried like a baby when I first saw it. I get goose bumps every time I rewatch it. God is so good! All the time! Thank you!
This is such a powerful video! Thank you for casting this amazing actor in such a pivotal role. An inspiration for millions around the world, with and without visible disabilities.
Little James’s condition makes the series feel more homie too, because it’s real. It’s human. What’s more human than struggle? I love that they don’t portray these perfect people with the perfect looks because that’s not whom the disciples were. I love the honesty in the frustration and the anger because it’s human! I have those moments with God myself and my Lord never turns His face from me when I am upset with Him. What Father abandons His kids because they’re angry at them?? None! We have all been frustrated with our parents at some point and God is no different. We just have to look past and through the anger and frustration and remember that He is still God and that no matter what is happening, we are His and He is ours and nothing will separate us from each other ❤
We appreciate your perspective!
I was crying at this scene...I felt for Little James but understand as well. Although mine will be temporary, it has shown me about a person who suffers more than me. Each character is just amazing...bless the entire cast..
Loved hearing this. Jordan is so perfect in this role and how he hi-lights his disability. How wonderful that he is reaching out to help others.
This is brilliant and will go far I have c P mum was told I would never sit up or walk at three I was walking and at 21 I passed my driving now I a lot older than little James but I am still on feet and live independently it is great that writers didn’t just brush James situation under the Capet.
Thank you for this story. I was born with a condition called Spina- bifda where I have scoliosis. With this, the doctors told my mom that I probably never going to walk, but I have only used a walker when I was three and can walk on my own at 15! God has really been faithful to me and I was very impacted to watch this scene with Little James and Jesus in season three. This gave me more understating and motivation to not be mad at my condition or to wish I didn’t have it, but to embrace it and to use it to minister to others❤❤
Thank you so much Jordan. Yes, I have noticed you from the beginning and admired your abilities and courage, especially during the times disabilities were brought to the front. I've had "invisible" inabilities for years but have started using a service dog in the last year. This has brought many different attitudes and perspectives into the forefront; at times I was to the point of not wanting to be in public with her [which highlights my inabilities]. But she has a purpose and it gives me more freedom to handle life with her by my side. God has used many situations to show me how He is using my 30+ yr missionary journey, with inabilities and abilities, to empower others to walk with courage, in spite of problems. At times, it is tiring...and then I see His glory in it all. I say, YES LORD, use all that I am and all that I'm not, to bring Christ to others!
LOVE that line..."Use all that I am and all that I am *not* - Because our LORD can work "All things for good for those who Love Him!" 💖💖💖✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏
What a BEAUTIFUL person you are Jordan. Your "malady" does not define you it makes you who you become. We ALL have maladies of some type, either physically or emotionally & what we do with it is the definition of our life. You Jordan gave us a stunning performance which I saw had so much of your personal influence, & touched me in a way I can't believe. The Chosen has touched me in many ways in my life but having my own physical ailment, which hinders my ability for doing things, has a new light because of you sharing your struggles. Watching the episode over & over & over I can see so much of you in the scenes not just your acting. Thank you for blessing & toucing our lives with sharing your GIFT with us. You are an amazing man Jordan. May God keep blessing you & the entire Chosen crew.
I absolutely CANNOT WAIT until season 4!!
We can't wait to see what Little James and the rest of the cast will be up to in Season 4.
I just really want to hug him right now.
This was so beautiful 🥲 Jordan is an inspiration for so many. And just seeing that similar growth in his character as well is going to have an impact on so many for years to come.
We're so glad Dallas cast him, too.
Growth on screen and off screen. 🙌
Jordan that scene was phenomenal! Trusting in the purpose of sufferings, offering it to the Lord - it moved many I’m sure who have not been cured of their physical ailment yet spiritually, they are amazing in carrying their cross and inspiring others. Not bitter, not angry. You will be leaping like a gazelle in heaven! Thank you. Retired RN who has had the honor of meeting many suffering people who still smoke and inspire others.
I never even noticed your "limp" Jordan, I assumed it was a part of the character, but I tell you that this scene was very real and ministered to my spirit. I've dealt with scoliosis and other maladies since my youth and am now 72. I too couldn't understand why, but now I count it as a gift from above and will use it for His glory. Thank Dallas for that scene for me will you please? Blessings to you all.
Your scene with Jesus where you ask why not me, touched me profoundly. Thank you
I used to eat in the bathroom because the bullying was so bad. God bless you and your gifts. I’m so glad you’re here and sharing your experiences.
I have disability, i had scoliosis and asthma and mild autism. I always tear up when i see james the lesser and Matthew. This show is so powerful that God almighty used them these actors to connect and inspire the people to come close to The Lord❤️🕊️✝️
It was one of my favorite scenes, it broke me 😢 because we all have something we struggle with when following Jesus
Jordan, thank you for sharing your inspiring story! Learning of your disability has made me understand more why that scene with Little James and Jesus moved me so much. I've had a long-standing nuisance medical issue that doctors have never been able to figure out. I used to get angry while I prayed for healing. I still pray for healing. But God has been healing me in a more important way: I've been learning to lean on God and include Him more in my life. I've a desire to be close to God and to accept His will that I never had in all the decades of my life. This has given me peace and even feelings of gratitude.
Thank you Jordan, your testimony is so powerful. You have a very impactful part to play in The Chosen and I love your character and how lovable and brave you are. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Jordan for this! I was born with a cyst in my spinal cord and as a result am paralyzed from the waist down and have scoliosis. I too had to have a spinal fusion at a young age (8). Unfortunately my fusion didn’t hold though and my rod broke and so I had to undergo a second fusion when I was 11. There was no medical explanation for this and for the next two years I was angry with God. When I was 13, I began to realize that God allowed me to born with a disability for a reason; that He would use me for something great if I would just trust Him. Since then I have seen how my disability is really a gift and has given me so many opportunities to impact others. At 33, I still don’t fully know why God allowed me to be born with my disability and I may never know this side of heaven. However I’ve also learned that all I need to do is trust Him and He will use me for His glory!!
Hannah, God most definitely has a reason and sharing your story here will impact many.
Thank you for your wonderful work in the choosen.
When we love the Lord, we don't live defeated. Victory in all situations! Little James--and Jordan!--display God's glory. Our lives are different because of Jesus. Get use to different. You're amazing Jordan! Love The Chosen! ❤️ 🌼
Your scene about not being healed brought me to my knees. My son (adopted) has autism -- is a 4 year old in a 19 year old body. I have diabetes, kidney failure and was unable to conceive. I have no doubt that God will heal us both -- just not til we get to heaven. But our witness to the world is made stronger through our infirmities. Thank you, so much, for putting yourself out there. God bless you and all of the cast and crew of "The Chosen".
Jordan Ross, I admire your strength and perseverance and faith. To me, you have taken your weakness and have used it a way that shows your strength. Love you, Jordan, and hope you have continued success. GOD BLESS!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Way to go, Jordan! You display such gentle fortitude, and the fact that you're willing to be vulnerable speaks volumes about your character. Can't wait to see more of Little James on The Chosen!
I have Cerebral Palsy and went through similar things. I went through 23 surgeries and got made fun of a lot in life. I've felt like a burden too. That episode made me ball like a baby. It was such a blessing! Thank you!!!
God loves you. He loves you greatly. The enemy (devil) beats everyone down. Some more than others.
I absolutely positively believe that Father will heal you for His glory. The entire series of Chosen was ordained by God to draw people to Christ. You, my Brother are a part of that, amen! The harvest is ripe! The Bible also clearly states that the closer we get to His return, the more signs and wonders will be released to show people that God is real and God is love!
He loves you Brother!
What a beautiful testimony! Thank you for being so brave and vulnerable!🙌🏿💗🙏🏿
I LOVE the performance that he gave for Little James. His scene really touched me deeply. I cried with him. It was beautiful! He is beautiful.
We love you Little James... not just the character you play... but who you are in real life. You are amazing and i am so glad you chose to allow us to see how much God can use all of us. What the world sees as imperfect, we see as your strength of character. You will be healed and one day you will dance in Heaven. Just as you are now you give the rest of us with disabilities of all kinds hope and encouragement !!! ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤One of the most impactful, heart wrenching scenes of season 3.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You, for your willingness to share your story and your vulnerability it has and will change lives.
Love little James. He moves mountains with the emotions of the audience!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this testimony. As a mother of a son with CP, this really hits home. The scene in The Chosen had a huge impact on our family and when I share this with them, it will too. Many blessings to you.
Thank you Jordan. I so appreciate your sharing your story and your vulnerability. I totally related to that scene and to your story. I have MS over 40 years diagnosed in my early 20’s. I am thankful God has ways to use me. Love the Chosen. Excited for season 4. God bless you 🤗
This was one of my favorite scenes in The Chosen ❤ Very impactful.
"Little James" is SUCH a blessing. I love The Chosen so much!!
I related with the scene of Little James asking why he isn’t healed. I cried all the way through it because I related so much with it. I had polio from age one and starting with my early teen years off and on through adulthood prayed for Jesus to heal me! I knew He could. But, never understood why He didn’t. After this scene, I felt Jesus talking to me telling me He was using me as a witness in a different way. It helped me so much and I’m sure it did others too. I thank Dallas for writing this into this episode. Thank you Little James for being so brave, and Jesus, thank you for everything. ❤
Love you as little James. You make him real and relatable.
Little James has become one of my favorite characters. I fell in love with him from the first second he was on screen. I'm so inspired by his story, it gives me the will power to never give up no matter what.
Jordan you are healing people all over the world 🥹🙏🏽❤️ thank you!!
God bless you brother, I suffered from low esteem for a long time and many things inside that I have not been able to express it. This sense change my life and help me see myself through the eyes of God. I am so grateful for this scene God bless Chosen.
Oh my goodness what an amazing story you have, Jordan...my husband has scoliosis and has a very prominent bow in his legs...he is very conscious of it... I hope when he sees your story it will be encouraging for him..thank you for sharing your gift of acting and humility with the world! 🥰
My dear brother Jordan. It is abril 4/2023 . I live in Quito, Ecuador. Just happened to see you in TH-cam. I cried the day i saw the chapter where you were talking to the Lord. Today I cried sooo much, giving thanks to our Lord for your life. He didn’t heal you for He had an eternal purpose, for His glory. My little granddaughter, my only one was born premature and had cerebral palsy. She went to stay with the Lord when she was 11. The Lord chose not to heal her. I am so thankful He chose you to give others hope, confidence through your life. Thanks to God for your life. Glory to His name. Thanks to brother Dallas for the show that has made us become closer to the reality of the Word in our lives. We have a completely different view of the Gospels. I know this is true for many Christians and non-believers. We needed this for the times we are living nowadays. Love you my dear brother. Elsy González.
That was one of the most powerful, impactful scenes I've seen on screen.
I've lived with infertility for 17 years and the heartache and pain has at times been almost unbearable. Remembering that He is with us in our pain brings the greatest blessings. He so often uses our pain and story for His glory and to bless others. He also shows us His love and Grace through the most difficult time and struggles in our lives. I've certainly seen that more times than I can count.
I'm really thankful The Chosen created this scene. While it may not be in the Bible, the understanding of suffering it provides is very Biblical.
To hear Jordan lives with that particular disability himself makes it even more impactful. I can only imagine the deep emotions he was feeling throughout.
Such a beautiful and encouraging interview.
Yes, Little James, your character & the real you is a gift.🎁 Thank you!
This scene for me was so powerful. Brilliant acting and the message about why we sometimes aren't healed and all the emotions that come with that. 😮 wow. Loved it
The sincerity can be felt through this scene. So surreal.
Thank you for this message. I really need it to hear this. With tears in my eyes i say: Thank you.
I love Little James...both the actor and the character. He plays his part perfectly!!!
I relate to Little James the most! I have been confined to my home for over a decade due to a devastating and extremely painful Neurological Wasting Disease. The scene in 2 by 2, where James asks Jesus why he hasn't healed him was a scene I needed to see, I HAD TO SEE! I swear to be patient in my suffering because I will live in Heaven for eternity!
I really appreciate your terrific contribution to The Chosen, through your acting and encouraging others. I thoroughly enjoy your podcast and the title is so apt because it is true we all have a limp. Your story will continue to have a great impact on so many. Thank you, Jordan.
Such a beautiful moment in time! Too make it easier for others with a disability and that is a gift so much more than words can say because you can reach out to someone who has a common of self worth and insecurity in life! It only takes one person to believes in you and understand what you are going through to make it a little bit better!!! Just knowing that can change a person outlook on life! Lift up and support love is the key ! God bless all!!!
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I love that you said our differences can be a super power to use in God’s work. You are certainly showing one way to do that. In my experience, many of the hard things we experience become blessings if we look at them through this lens! Thank you for demonstrating that.
My husband also has a limp from a disability, and our kids, like yours, think it would be weird if their dad walked ‘normally.’ His perseverance in his disability inspires me to be strong and keep moving forward when my life is hard.
Thanks for sharing your story.
You are wonderfully and beautifully made Jordan!😊 You have a great life ahead of you. I praise God for you ❤
So this was such a moving and so touching scene. I got teary eyed watching. I was watching with my sister with mental and some physical disabilities. Sometimes, I don't think she is picking up what we're watching, as she goes off in the Spectrum. But when it finished of this scene, oh she loved it and said "how pretty!" My sister is a very devoted Catholic and her rosary to our Lady of Guadalupe is who she intercedes to. It helps her fight the demons in her head. She is schizophrenic, and then some.
I connect with his story so much!!! People don't tease me about my disability (I have the exact same physical disability), but I still feel the hard times. I felt God speaking to me in love.
It was the most beautiful scene. It's for sure my favorite one yet and seeing Jonathan talking as Jesus, telling little James he's not a burden at all, made me love Jesus even more. I cried so much, I felt ashamed for beeing ungratefull to God this whole time. I wanna thank The Chosen team for showing me that. :)
You are one of my favorite actors! I’m so glad you are here and in this movie!!
Beautiful testimony, thank you for sharing your God given gift with humanity ❤️✝️❤️
I’m a chronic pain patient and a Christian and so this scene just totally broke me and my husband 😢 but it helped us understand why and how to use it to point others to Jesus . And it is well now with my soul
Thank you for all you do be BLESSED 😇
Eyes to see and ears to hear. Thank you Father. Amen.
This is one of the most moving, Gospel-filled scenes I’ve yet to see thus far…..
Having an autoimmune disease...I must say this episode impacted me so greatly!
Thank you!!
Love this! The scene had me balling! 12/23 discs, breaking my back and my neck was the greatest blessing I never couod have asked for. Abuses become refining fire when put before The Throne, trusting JESUS!
That scene made me cry. One of the great scenes in this show if not the best.
😭😭😭😭 this scene impacted my heart so deeply. THANK YOU!
❤❤❤❤ makes you appreciate more the Little James character on the show ❤️❤️❤️❤️ respect 🌻🌻🌻
Gracias x tu testimonio. Me hizo pensar que sentirse rechazado en cualquier escenario y por las distintas razones que se escapan de nuestro control como lo es una enfermedad , solo significa que estamos con las personas equivocadas y en lugares equivocados , no podemos cambiar nuestra condición pero si podemos movernos a otros sitios con la gente que nos ama como somos. Orar por aquellos que no entienden eso! Somos únicos y especiales así como somos porque te conviertes en ejemplo de superación para otros que aun cuando lo tienen “todo” actúan con “otros” tipos de parálisis ….
Thank you for sharing. That was such a powerful scene. I was sobbing. 💙💙💙💙
He makes this series so much alive and real ❤ it’s so tremendous that Jesus sees him so perfectly despite it seems to not be, I just don’t know how to express it.
Thank you for sharing your gift!
One of my top 3 favorite scenes. Words fall short.
This scene is the most impactful it’s stuck out to me and just seeing his perspective is the actor coming to this conclusion help me because I have been in those dark places before upset and angry wondering when am I going to be healed and I saw the scene and it brought me to tears because sometimes you feel like What’s wrong with you will define your story And who you are because most people look at the outward appearance and they judge For so long I would hide I was depressed and I felt alone in my struggle I knew who to turn to but my mind was so clouded and I was so overwhelmed by my situation and I didn’t remind myself of who God is in my life and what he can do he is still the God of Wonders Jehovah Rapha Jehovah Nissi and Jehovah Shalom.
@Jordan Ross, I grew up with CP as well. The bullying is horrible especially at middle school. Just so you you are not alone. I became an artist. I found my people later in life. I like how they approach the curiosity, without alienation.
Thank you. I love that scene. I have been sick all my life, and doctors can't find a specific diagnosis, and it seems that as I get older, my buddy is getting worse. I realized that I need to live with all my "illness" that they are real and won't be hiel in this life. ❤
Love your character and I adore the way you portray him. I wouldn't change a single thing about you and I also LOVE your curly hair!
I was born with some birth defects that were obvious immediately and some began to show up when puberty began (scoliosis) and I am now 69 and I am experiencing some things that aging is creating so seeing this episode from the perspective of Jesus really has been powerful. What I see as a handicap is a good tool in His Hands. I identify with Lilith/ Mary and, now, Little James and I am very thankful for the whole Chosen family.
I was born with cerebral palsy also but grew out of it it affected my left side. However as grew old I have become handicapped again and I struggle with dealing with my limitations while praying for others to be healed. I relate to you feeling pain but still having faitb and determination to follow. I do watch the healing at the pool often though because I believe in healing I really do. It makea me hope and cry every time.
Awesome scene with you and Jesus!!!! Following Christ is not without difficulty!!!! Proud of you my friend!!!
And Look how it ended up! You are inspiring millions!
Very powerful scene- the wounded healer. God uses us all.
Jordan Walker Ross is not only a brilliant actor, but he also has an amazing story.
7:47 AMEN!!! Thank you so much, Jordan!
That scene made me tear.
