As someone from the Gen Z generation, I just want older folks to know that we really appreciate when you sit down and take the time to hear our stories and understand the way we feel. We’re not aliens, just people with limited life experience. :P We have deep thoughts and feelings and are so deeply touched by every aspect of the world we live in. Like every generation, we just need people who will listen and love us through confusion, hurt, happiness, and questions.
Also side note: I know it seems like a long time between seasons of the Chosen, but this is actually a pretty normal production rate for most shows. There is so so much work that goes into it. I understand how easy it is to be impatient (I’m impatient haha!) but keep in mind it takes a ton of work for the Chosen to be as good as it is!
Thanks for listening to a young Christian, if you read this. ❤️
Thank you for reminding us older folks stop and listen. We need to listen to the younger generation .Bless you and take care
Thank you for your heartfelt comment☺️
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing. As a gen x I remember all too well the feeling of not being listened to or heard. I still feel that way at times now, and I'm a mum to 3 boys, two of whom are teenagers. We all need to remember that everyone has a story and it often shapes who we are as adults, but we all have value in God's eyes, regardless of our pasts, we are all sinners and Jesus Christ died for all of our sins.
Thank you for sharing this message with us. God bless you!
Can you bring them back for a season 2 reaction video?!?! I feel like I need an update to know how their lives are going. I’ve fallen in love with these people!
This! Yes!
I would love this.
Yes please I really wana know how they are all doing
I've fallen in love with them, too! I hope they will keep in touch even if the money is not there to do a repeat.
That would be amazing! I would love to see how they are doing!
I am so saddened to see how these young people have all experienced so much hurt. May the Lord reach and comfort all of them. We all need redemption... may they be reached by the Grace of God.
Notice just how much this show and the visual of Jesus performing his acts and the apostles going through life unified all these different people with separate but broken pasts. It’s nice to see strangers all be able to come together and discuss life and it’s troubles all by seeing what Jesus went through.
Man what a beautiful way to show the chosen while showing these different stories. This is so well done.
Ayyy! Love your content brother

I watch your content all the time too, keep spreading the word of God. God bless!
Hi from Belfast, Northern Ireland ☘️
I just wanted you to know, my daughter, a GenZ, comes for dinner on an irregular basis. We always watch something when eating dinner. When The Chosen was released and we had already watched Season 1 she asked ‘what are we watching tonight’. I asked, ‘have you seen any of The Chosen episodes?’ We started to watch Season 1 again with her. On every visit she asked to watch The Chosen until we had watched S1 & S2. She’s still asking if S3 has been released. Thank you for producing a series that tugs at the heart no matter what age and reinvigorates the love we have for Jesus.
I am so thankful for the Chosen team! This production has helped me so much during the 2020 to 2022 up until now. Looking forward to Episode #3 when it is finally completed! I know it will be great! Anything worth while takes time! 🥰 ❤️ May God 🙏 bless you all for making this happen and never giving up!
God is on the mov, Hallelujah 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH SEASON 3 AS WELL.
This is what it’s all about!!☺️👏🏻
Thank you. God bless you all
The conversation starting at 1:36:30 trough to 1:37:30 was a moment where one could really sense the presence of the Holy Spirit, expressed trough Jonathan's words with deep caring and tenderness. The most touching and heartfelt scene of this video! 🙏
Loved it.I pray they all encounter Jesus
Bro gotta get that Ankh tattoo off him though
Yes that part was a God Moment. So intense and silent. Everyone in the room knew, that God is working through Jonathan’s simple yet profound words. Sometimes we just need to hear these words. Felt goosebumps just hearing and seeing him say that “God is calling you.” Wow..
His mind says many Gods but his heart is saying “There is only One”
@@UnkleKnuck the ankh is the symbol of life to the Egyptians. It was adapted into the cross by the Christian Romans in the 4th century AD. The ancient Greek word σταυρὸν (stauron) is the word for cross, but it could also mean stake or pole. So it was more likely that Jesus was nailed to a pole. But the cross symbol developed later because it's meaning reinforced Jesus's sacrifice. Plus, the bronze serpent that Moses lifted up is now seen as a cross as well. According to the ancient Hebrew it could mean it is a pole or like a military standard/banner pole, which is capital T shaped. Osiris, Isis, Ra and Anubis seem to be associated with the ankh. I can see that being a concern because those are pagan gods.
Jonathan Roumie saying “God is calling you” gave me the chills!!!!!!!
It felt like the Lord Jesus was really there in plainclothes!
Do you know what the time stamp is on that ? What minute ? I would like to watch it , also does anyone know where the season 3 season is ? What minute
What I’ve learned is that he’s always there with you, it’s just the matter of acknowledging his presence. And yes that moment made me tear up, you can see the Lord speaking through Jonathan to reach Adrian. Beautiful.

As a christian gen-z myself, who struggles with same-sex attraction. The Chosen has been a tool for me to realise who Jesus truly is, I so related to these individuals. Keep up the good work. I have come to find the Lord, and I gave my life to Him. Thank you.
Amazing. Praise the Lord!
You're not alone.
It's not the truest thing about our identity anymore.
Praying for you! I find it mindblowing just how many differences in struggles we all go through, things that all still are meant to be used to bring us to the same place: perfection in Him. The world makes it so hard to die to ourselves. But the Church’s job is to be there for us in that process of sanctification, encouraging us through our struggles. I pray we all find a local Church family who gives their all like that, and teaches us that our identity is in Christ. God bless you, sister! ❤️
Just remember to not define yourself by who you’re attracted to, but how God sees you: his child.
Encouraging verses that have helped me:
1 Corinthians 10:13, "No temptation has overtaken you, except what is common to man; and God, who is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able (to bear), but will provide the way of escape for you to endure it." (NASB)
The Passion Translation puts it in clearer language: "We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust Him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously."
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (BEFORE READING: I know this verse might seem negative on the surface, but please READ BETWEEN THE LINES of this verse.)
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; people who indulge in fornication, idolatry, adultery, homosexuality, fraud, greed, drunkenness, or verbal abuse will not inherit the kingdom of God. SUCH WE'RE SOME OF YOU; but you were WASHED, but you were SANCTIFIED, but you were JUSTIFIED in the NAME of the Lord Jesus Christ and the SPIRIT of God."
What Paul is reminding the church of Corinth of was that some of the Christians there once indulged in certain sinful sexual lifestyles but they we're redeemed: washed, set apart, justified by faith, and filled with the Holy Spirit. This verse to me is a powerful biblical testimony that God loves all of His children and redeems and makes us completely new in Christ.
Do not lose hope or endurance! Always remember who you are in Christ.
I’m from a 3-generation family of Southern Baptist ministers. I’ve also served the Lord for in this tradition for my whole life. This documentary has opened my eyes and heart to GenZers. It has shown me that I don’t want to be a modern-day Pharisee. I have truly been humbled after watching this documentary. My desire is love like Christ and to see others through His eyes.
I love this ❤
Amen !!! Thanks for sharing that…I became a born again Christian at 34 years old. Left the music business to sing just for Jesus… even put up a Christian CD on TH-cam that my husband and I did in our home studio with some friends of ours. I’m 74 now soon to be 75 and this movie has fanned the flames of my faith that has grown cold over the years through the many trials and
I’ve learned in a real up close and personal first hand experience thru “Chosen,” that God will definitely leave the 99 sheep behind to go after that one who has lost its way.
Thank you Jesus.

One thing I am learning by watching the Gen Z interviews is that as Christians, we have a long way to go in being kind to people, even those whom we don't understand.
Jesus was always kind; don't get me wrong, He didn't brush wrong things under the carpet at all. But His kindness drew all kinds of people in.
At the end of the day, how many souls are we winning into the church by this cold religiosity? Many focus on the ways of God and not His actual love for people. May God help us to show His love and His ways hand in hand to the new generation.
I agree with you wholeheartedly! So many preach hellfire and brimstone, and try to shame people into a conversion. But no one is shamed into a conversion, people are loved into one. That is why scrupulosity is so rampant in our church today because people aren’t encountering God as truly Father but are being taught that no matter what they’ll never be good enough for Him.
This has really been on my heart the last few months, and watching this drove it home.
Yes! His love IS His way.
Exactly!
Yes, LOVE - the great commandment! Supersedes EVERYTHING religious!
We were so impressed with this group of people in the documentary. They were so real and so touched our hearts that we didn’t want it to end.
Thank you Gen-z’ers for your stories. Will pray for you all. Thank you.
Tengo a mi hijo que pudiera ayudar en ese trabajo tan bueno y hermoso. El estudio cine y puede aportar mucho. Contáctenme si les interesa .
I know! I was upset that they didn't show us their discussions with Season 2!
I really enjoyed this documentary! This is a great way to open up and have the conversation with peace, love, and truth.
@@charlesmartinjr3971 yes we were left wanting more as usual with The Chosen.
To all of the Gen zers who were in this documentary ... thank you for sharing so much of yourselves. This took great courage to take that leap of faith. Like you, I've had challenges in life. But I count myself as incredibly fortunate in that I never felt alone thru the deaths of my brother (1962), my mother (1983), my wife (2001), my son (2012) and so much more. Jesus told me at the end of Matthew that He would be with me to the end of the age. I have felt Him. It is my prayer that no matter what comes to you your futures, you will continue to knew you are not alone ... that Jesus is with you always.
This is a call for prayer for all these kids. They are all precious in God’s sight.
This is so beautiful 😭😭😭 Praying that everyone on this documentary falls in love with Jesus and chooses Him!!
Amen!
I found this show by "accident" and was just as skeptical - even in my 50s. My life was saved from my own hand at 27 by God - when i didn't even have a relationship with Him. I was a homeless alcoholic living on the street in NYC. The day I was going to end my life, it was saved by a voice in my head that said, "My son, you have another chance." That was 31 years ago. It was such a profound experience that I developed a practice which has lead to a pretty good relationship with God today. I've been blessed beyond my wildest dreams when I was at my lowest. I have a loving wife. Two daughters who are good people. A house. An education. A career. Heck, even getting my driver's license back long ago was like a miracle. Anyway, I gave this show a one episode trial run to see whether it would compel me to continue. It did. I cried. Y'all have done such a great job of making Jesus's story relevant - while still reinforcing the original script. Thank you for your vision and sincerity. Whether you've had a supernatural experience like me, are full of doubt, or have no idea who this historical figure really was - give one episode a shot. You won't regret it.
Thanks for sharing how the Chosen has impacted you, Jim.
As an Executive Pastor of a midsized church in the rural south, I must say that this doc has been an eye opening experience and convicting to hear how many have been injured physically and spiritually by 'the church'. I am praying and asking God how my church can be used to reach out to all generations including Gen Z. The real challenge for us is to present God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in a way that honors the written Bible but also to do so in Love, Prayer, and Grace, and we must do so for every generation, our Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z and now even the upcoming Gen Alpa! It is my desire for me personally and for the church to be more like Jesus in our relationships than ever before. Thank you The Chosen for getting us up our comfortable duffs to get re-engaged in reaching out to the lost and the hurting.......as Jesus did.
That's such a great and honest comment
Who/ what are you referring to as "the church". So much can be read into that statement. Please explain. Thank you.
Thank you! This comment gives me hope!

Lord, help us!
“The Chosen Z’s” gave soooo generously of their raw & vulnerable hearts!!! There is soooooo much beauty in every single one of their shares. Thank you “Z’s” for being open to even just watching. You have no idea how many people you have just touched and changed. But to see their reactions to the show was amazing and fun to watch!!!! ❤️
"The Chosen Z's" I love that for us! 😁😁😀
This was very powerful. I'm 61 years old and the Chosen series has as given me that "nudge" too. I'm so thankful to you young people who took part in this documentary. It was very kind of you to let us into your heart. The Chosen series really has deepened my faith and drawn me into the Bible. I pray you all follow Jesus too. ❤
Praising God for the powerful moment Jonathan had with Adrian. Praying for all those in the documentary that they can all learn to rely on and trust in their Creator. That they can give their deep hurt and past traumas to Him! He loves them so much and longs for a real and lasting relationship with them all. I pray they all are following Christ!

I was at together ‘22 and they had the cast come out and do an interview, Adrian said he now has a relationship with Christ!

What Emma says in the docu: "I found a deep relationship with the Lord I never had before" and that The Chosen gave the nudge for that....I mean that's me....I'm so grateful for The Chosen. In so many ways it has deepened my relationship with Jesus.
The Chosen has changed my life!
Hello Lotte how are you I hope your having a good time over there?
Hello lotte, how are you doing
I loved this! I cried when they cried. The Chosen still brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times I watch the first episodes. I pray the territory is expanded and more and more groups of people watch it and realize how much they are loved.
These young people all had hurtful lives and I believe they all received healing by watching the show. That is what is so amazing about this series. I thank God I learned about this show and the people who pay it forward.
Amen amen
It's not the series it's the power of God. I believe no generations have been more neglected than the young people today. Materialism has taken its toll upon our Country. Satan and those whom seek power will find their ignorance and naiveté leaving them very ripe for the picking. That was the plan all along. I pray we as a Nation find our way back to God and a wonderful life once again. Otherwise the opposite will occur. We're going to He-double hockey sticks in a handbag if things don't turn around quickly.
Jesus meets us where we are at, but doesn't leave us there. But, where we go after that is up to us.
@@jeffstumpf9129 Indeed 🙏
I was very happy to see that the woman with same sex attraction was open about how she felt. It was years before I understood that I can’t define people by who they are attracted to. So often, Christians judge people according to their sins rather than embracing them with love.
I could have sat for days listening to these kids. I want to hug them, feed them, and just hang out with them. I cried through all of it. So grateful that I was gifted by their perspectives and their hearts.
I found myself crying and wishing I could hug each one as well!
I love all of you for being real and giving our friend Jesus a chance to come alive in your lives. Welcome to the Christian family of Sinners saved by Grace.
Thank you for sharing!! As a 56-year-old mom of a 15-year-old boy, I want to say I am so sorry, most of you did not have a good and loving mother and family. Thank you for being so honest. Praying for all of you.
These young folks have had pretty lousy childhoods and I understand the reluctance to make themselves vulnerable emotionally and spiritually. Having said all that I had sort of a healing about the way I felt about Gen Z young people. I was wrong about some of my impressions and opinions of Gen Z young folks. I realize that God loves and wants to know all of us..even the ones we think are beyond reaching. Thank you and God bless you all.
I have to agree, the X'ers like myself often have had troubled childhoods. It should have been obvious to me as the nation has gotten further from God that subsequent generations would have even greater challenges in many cases.
God has opened my eyes to that reality through this documentary and I thank Him for His graciousness and faithfulness to me.
I'm praying that all these young people will come to know the true Jesus as a result of this amazing experience. God is good!
Amen to that!!! What an amazing lesson for us all.
Dallas, the documentary was so beautiful! Why do you keep me crying like that? As a Christian and as a Catholic priest, it gives me a lot to think about regarding whether in my words and actions I am leading others to Christ or drawing them away from Him. After all, some of the folks in the documentary talk about authority figures who used religion to drive them away from God. And that is something I definitely want to avoid. God bless you, Dallas, Jonathan, and all the actors and crew for all that you do. May God continue to protect you from any harm or evil in the making of "The Chosen".
Angelo Casimiro God bless you. I pray that he opens your eyes even more and that you can pass that blessing along to those around you.
Angelo-please in love I would tell you to check out the documentary "The Chosen Exposen" on youtube.
@@weewillywanka5904 God bless you. I will be praying for you.
Are you kidding me Father? Everything you need to know is in the Deposit of Faith. It may be your own interpretation that may be a problem.
@@257mitchell You apparently misinterpreted my comment. I was not referring to the Deposit of Faith but about my words and actions in whether I am leading people to Christ or not. I am human. I make mistakes. I have bad days like everyone else. But as a priest, people have higher expectations of me as a person. That is what I am referring to. God bless you. Please pray for me.
Im so thankful for these humans to remind me that every one has a story. All 9 of them were beautiful. And I needed to give each one a big hug!
Likeee... I really felt for each one, and really learnt not to judge nobody.. ever
I have to tell you that I had wanted to have our church show the Chosen as our fellowship night on Wednesdays. I was not sure if the church board would approve it, so I was hesitant. We have a new pastor and I didn't think they would listen to me. So I started to pray about it for inspiration as to how I approach them. I was so surprised when during the church service the pastors announce that our Wednesday evenings fellowship would the Chosen series, and I never said anything to them. God heard my prayers and he just went ahead and did the rest. So that was a lesson for Grandma who tells all her children don't worry pray and Jesus will show you the way. I just need to remember my own advice.
Amen. Me too... "...remember the verses in my hand."
These kids have learned more in their short years than most of us learn in a lifetime! As an alienated mom of an 18 year old, I hope he sees this and watches the chosen, and I pray he realizes we all make mistakes but if God is for us who can be against us?
As a Gen-Z christian, its so beautiful seeing how they engaged with the show. I saw this documentary a few weeks ago on The Chosen app. This show is truly something special. I'm rewatching seasons 1 - 3 right now.
It's super late and I'm exhausted, but I couldn't stop watching "the chosen" of The Chosen. Their lives will never be the same. And neither will mine. Loved the Jonathan surprise! He so generously shared his spiritual gifts with all of them. May transforming stories like all of these be multiplied by millions. The Chosen is awesome in every way! 💗🌻
They were vulnerable, honest, open and genuine. I loved it.
I guess I count as a Millenial/GenZ but i grew up in a Christian home and always knew about the bible and Jesus but I never got to see a profound illustration of his life and everything he did/does. While I got closer to God through hard circumstances lately I think this show and scripture made me love him so much more it is amazing, I believe I can say he’s the first love in my life now ❤
I was so touched by the openness and vulnerability of these young people. God never ceases to amaze me in how He reaches out to us. Thank you, Chosen family for sharing this.
What a powerful livestream! That documentary brought me to tears when I saw people of my generation opening up to Christ. I pray that their faith grows and they will see that God hasn't abandoned them. Jonathan Roumie really moved me with his testimony and how he interacted with the Gen Z'ers. The Chosen is really such an important show for such a time as this.
This is the most beautiful documentary I've ever seen, in SO MANY ways!!! So well presented. I love each one of these young people! What an amazing life experience for each of them. All the topics discussed, all their pains, exchanged by strangers becoming community.....I think we who have the privilege of watching them watching The Chosen also connect with them on a deep level. My compliments and my gratitude to everyone involved in this project. I will share this.
I cried through tonight's livestream, in awe of God's love and grace. Thank you to each of the nine people who participated in this documentary. I was so moved by their vulnerability and willingness to share their stories with the world. Grateful for the ministry of The Chosen and for the powerful message of the Gospel!
Me tooooooooo

Very moving and beautiful watching how God is healing them and working in their lives. God Bless each of them. I pray my grandson will watch and see he is nit alone. 🙏💜
- I cried tears of joy; by sharing our painful stories, healing can begin ‼️
To all of the young adults that received such harsh, abusive, and unmerciful treatment- I wish I could give you all a big hug. May the love and peace of Jesus flood your soul ❤️❤️❤️
The Chosen came at a needed time, I recently went back to my faith and The Chosen has helped tremendously to sustain my journey. All of you involved are doing a great service.
This has totally wrecked me. It is heartbreaking to hear the struggles and the brokenness of these precious young people. I hope that you do this for another group of genz-ers. I will be actively praying for this gen-z generation.
I am a 69-year-old wife, mother, and grandmother from Ohio, and a huge fan of The Chosen. I have watched Season 1 and Season 2 four times so far! All of the young people in this documentary touched me deeply, and I cried through most of it. My heart hurts for the injury done to many of you during your childhoods. Let Jesus wrap His loving arms around you and press you close to His Heart. Let Him bring healing and love into your life. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. So brave!
So moving, I was in floods of tears. It helped me to stop over thinking my walk with Jesus. Thank you, and God bless each of one of these young people. God is with you, The Chosen.
The Gen Z documentary was so powerful. God bless all of them and the journey each one walks from here. We all walk different paths and seek love, forgiveness and comfort. None of their stories are a surprise- no matter the age, we all have pain in our lives and suffer. I pray for each of them that they all find peace and the love they seek. Of course, my prayer is that they find it in Jesus.
Amen🙏❤️✝️❤️
1:50:27 I'm a 48 year old dad of three and I'm moved to tears. Thank you Dallas, The Chosen teams, and Gen Z for this video. It's helped me understand my 25 year old daughter better than ever. It's also greatly encouraged me about the return of those that have backslidden. I myself left the church for 13 years until my thirties.
Each one of these beautiful children are so precious. Each in different ways. Wish I could protect them and prevent any harm. The only way to be cushioned from the world is to look at themselves how Jesus does. With pure love and joy He sees you, He knows you, He loves you. These truths have saved me and I hope the same for you all.
Much respect for Gen Z tonight. They put themselves out there and that takes courage. As a mom of a Gen Z son, my heart went out to all of them and I wished I could give them all a huge hug. What an impactful documentary and the rest of the livestream was so good!
I had to break up watching this into two days (when you have small kids it can be hard to get 2 hours to yourself), but I said a prayer for each one of the gen-z participants tonight. God Bless Jonathan for saying what he said to the young man about Jesus tugging on his heart. I am older than these participants (I'm a millennial), but with the life experiences that some have had, I feel that a few of them were older than me! Praise God that he meets us were we are at and doesn't wait till we get our act together or all of our questions get answered before inviting us to Him!
All 4 of my kids 14-21 are addicted to this. Also my husband who does chapel with kids between k-8th grade. He uses the chosen to preach to the kids and they love it. Thank you for this Dallas.
Amazing documentary! Those kids... I want to hug every single one of them! I'm in awe at how open and vulnerable they were. So thankful for The Chosen! It doesn't matter how many times I watch, each time moves me. Praying . . .
Adrian is the coolest guy ever. Wow. What a man. His love for his daughter is so heartwarming ❤️🙏🏻
This is amazing. Thank you for doing this documentary. This kids are teaching me so much being so young. Gen Z, you are loved by Jesus just as you are.
Such a sobering reminder that we don't clean up first, we simply come to Jesus and follow him. Let Him change us according to his will and plan for us.
I am a boomer, yet I relate to all these Gen Z's. Thank you, you brave young people for being so honest.
There are so many of us who had traumatic childhoods that really effected our faith. Am so happy in my older years that I found the real, loving Jesus.
I so appreciated the honesty of these young people. At first, they seemed like they had it so together; but we see that they are human & aren't perfect....just like the rest of us. I haven't watched the whole show of the Gen Z reviews, but I sincerely hope The Chosen touches them & changes their lives. I'll be 80 in a few months, & I thought I couldn't relate to these people; but I do! They are precious in the way they've opened up. Thank you, young people! You give me hope for the future. We love you! ❤️
The documentary was incredible. Thank you guys for showing unfiltered, raw stories. In our space, we typically see stories of those who have come out on the other side of hardship. It’s rare that we get to hear and see stories of those who are in the thick of it. Amazing work! Amazing show!
I am 6o, and was moved to tears by watching these kids bare their souls. They have it so much tougher than we did when I was that age.
I too am in my 60's and found these young adults baring their souls to be vey moving. Yes they have it tougher, and they need to allow Jesus to come into their lives; this is the most wonderful way to do it. I will keep paying it forward for this very reason🙏🙏🙏
What beautiful young people! This “old grandma” sends hugs to you all! I admire the way you ask questions, evaluate possibilities, and think deeply. May God bless each of you richly!
Thank you very much! May God bless you as well! 🙏❤️
This is the most amazing portrayal of Jesus and all the characters we've heard about but didn't quite connect to. The Lord is certainly doing a new thing! thank you for stirring up the waters. I hope all those who lost faith or just didn't have it at all get a chance to lose themselves in Jesus! Thank you for working so hard to making a "miracle show"
When I first truly gave my heart to Christ, I was HUNGRY. I spent most of my free time during the Summer as a teenager gaming, in-person, with some of my friends… but after I surrendered my life to Jesus, i asked my friends if they wanted to read the Bible and just… talk about it. We would talk about what we were reading late into the early morning hours. We did this for a long time.
It was those organic transparent conversations, much like we experienced with these 9 individuals, that deeply impacted each of the people that were involved in those conversations. THIS was one of the beautiful gifts the Church was always meant to be for a hurting world: to mutually encourage one another toward Christ. To share our doubts, our struggles, our deep pains, our flaws… and to know we’re in good company. We’re all trying to figure life out and we truly need Jesus just as much as the person we sit next to.
Years later, a member of the group of friends I mentioned above came to me and shared that he used to roll his eyes and hate that I would continually start these conversations about whatever we read… but as time went on, God changed the soil and that seed took root. He thanked me for starting those conversations all those years ago.
But the funny thing is that I wasn’t trying to evangelize… I was genuinely HUNGRY to know God for myself. But I invited people to be a part of my hunger and search. It’s like the disciples say often in different ways while describing their experience of following Jesus in The Chosen… “I feel like I’m just watching Him most of the time…” but they are watching Him TOGETHER.
Every word. 👏👏👏
Iron sharpens iron we were never meant to go this alone when 2 or more are gathered in my name, there's power in fellowship
🙏✝️❤️🥰
Wanted to hug every one of these lovely brave young adults, especially as they shared their hurts. Momma bear! I pray that they all will continue to grow and deepen in their discovery of themselves and their relationship with God.

Jesus sees it all and loves us through it all for the goal of an ultimate relationship with Him, Father, and Holy Spirit. So thankful for the honesty and vulnerability with this documentary.
This touched my husband's and my hearts so deeply. It's amazing to see what the Chosen means to such a huge and important generation.
I really like The Chosen, I have seen both season 1 and 2 more times than I can count.
I want these Gen z participants to know that they have helped me to reconnect with my younger self and my earlier struggles. I'll watch this again!
Just took some painkillers for a slight headache from crying while watching this. Lol. It's all bin said. Just... Thank you, the Chosen team. For yielding wholeheartedly to this work. Just divinely impactful.
As a Gen Z’er myself it was amazing seeing how other people of my generation were affected by this show. I was scared to tell people that The Chosen is my favorite tv show and how it changed me because I was taught to not talk about my faith in the public. However, this documentary is really inspiring me to be more open to others. Thank you to the people that were so vulnerable in this documentary. And thank you to the people that listen to our struggles and continue to pray for our generation. ❤️
I feel you completely! I grew up Catholic all my life and always (until recently) felt embarrassed of my faith because everyone made me feel like it was something I shouldn’t share openly. Not only did it make me sad but it also hurt my relationship with God.
But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father. (Matthew 10:33)
Now I am at peace with myself because I said yes to God and no to mammon. Now I hope to one day evangelize publicly to my generation to introduce to him our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏🏼✝️❤️
The Chosen is the most realistic story of Jesus & the disciples. I love that you have made Jesus a son of God and son of man. Each time I watch it I love it even more. I saw season 3 in the theater and already can't wait for the next episodes.
So powerful! A special thank you to each one of them for being willing to share their thoughts openly and freely. Listening to them, and from a Mamma's heart, I just wanted to hug each and everyone of them, and let them know they are LOVED. The Chosen is so awesome, and thank each of you for the time and effort you commit to making it touch so many lives.
Hugs to each of you who participated in this documentary. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us. You are loved.❤🙏
Love love love that this group is keeping in touch! The group hug and the “I love yous” were my favorite and evidence of the manifest love of our good Father in their midst! TY, Dallas and team!
This is the main reason why I am so concerned with my generation. Most of us are always misunderstood and there were times we can't even voice out our feelings for we are afraid some people would just misundertand us. Im praying for you guys thank you for sharing your stories your struggles.
Even without the music, color grading, etc., the two preview scenes from Season 3 looked great! Lots of emotion. Can't wait to watch the whole season.
Hi, do you know when those scenes start?
Hai ❤️❤️❤️
@@olmanchaheine8889 The first one starts at 2:00:41 and the second one starts at 2:13:15. But they'll only be on this video until midnight.
When does the CHOSEN SEASON 3 STARTS SHOWING ON TV AND WHAT CHANNEL???
@@camerondupont7086 Dallas hopes Season 3 will start in November. Check out this timestamp. 2:11:00
Lots of ways to watch it. It's not on a "TV channel". Check out this timestamp. 6:28
These young people have had it rough. I thank GOD each was chosen to see chosen. I pray each heal with the love of CHRIST JESUS. May they be blessed and trust yhe gospel
I really loved this docuseries. As a mum of a couple of Gen Z's, I was really moved by the issues expressed here and more determined to hear and listen to not just my children more, but I have gained a genuine love and concern for an entire generation. Social media can silence a generation by enabling them to hide behind posts and well manicured photos. This show helped them be vulnerable and unmask. I loved it so much. Thank you for doing this.
AMEN to that sistua 😇❤✌
I give so much credit to these Gen-Z kids for being vulnerable with their personal struggles. And now the whole world will know their stories. It's also saddened me to hear that people still can't feel safe in a "church". Praise God for these young adults to share their stories!
Yeah its messed up that some people dont feel safe in a church especially lgbtq people
@@thegamerwoman5320 It's messed up that some churches have an environment where people aren't safe. That girl's story was heart breaking.
I felt the same way. When I came across the Early Church Fathers, I soon began feeling more comfortable and safe in Church.
I love The Chosen and I read the Bible each Morning after I wake up and after I give Love and Gratitude to God and a special Good Morning Prayer. I live in Napa, California and admire how you are telling this Beautiful story on Yeshua. I also enjoy reading Rabbi Jason Sobel’s books “Signs and Secrets of the Messiah” and “Mysteries of the Messiah”. Love the music too!
I have so much love for Adrian. All throughout the documentary he caught my eye. That man has a calling on his life and he doesn't even know it!
No words for the unbelievable impact this is having for the Kingdom!!! Thank yo! Thank you from Kansas!
This is the most important message these kids have ever experienced, I hope their reaction goes viral ❤❤❤
I qm on “Binge Watch” FORTY TWO of Seasons 1 & 2!!! I never get tired of watching…and it brings me so much peace and makes Jesus and all the characters seem more real to me! Thank You ALL!!!❤️✝️🙏
Same. I’ve watched the episodes many times over. There are so many shows out there but they are just so shallow and not good for my soul. So I revert back to the Chosen and I always seem to get something out of it even though I’ve seen it many times.
@Michele Burrell
Who are your favorite followers so far? Mine are (1) Matthew. (Also known as “Levi”) And I did some independent research on him. He was proficient in about 5 languages…and a very accurate scribe (writer of dictation)…so I now regard Matthew’s Gospel as probably being the most accurate. But…(2) I also “feel” like Nathaniel sometimes (also known as Bartholomew). But..of the Romans….I like the acting done by Gaius (sp?) Matthew’s Roman protector … and think the Praetor of the district is unusual…a good acting performance….so far. Feel sorry for Nicodemus….But I REALLY do not like that secret Roman agent!!!!! ❤️✝️🙏
I absolutely love that new foot door mat The Chosen is offering… says “Get Used To Different”. Would love to get one of those. 😄
I was crying by the end of the documentary. These young people were so open and honest talking about the hurts in their lives. God reached them through the Chosen. My prayer is that people of all ages are reached through this.
Wonderful! It took me some time to finally watch (after seeing it advertised many times) and I'm truly grateful that I did. The rawness, the realness of these young people was precious. I was very touched and moved. This documentary was very gracefully presented by The Chosen. And the care taken with their dignity, exemplary. Thank you to Dallas Jenkins for extending an invitation to these 9 lives. As well as to those of us who were given the opportunity to see God move in their lives.
What a lovely, lovely group of young people! I bawled my eyes out watching this wonderful documentary. Thank you to the GenZ-ers who participated in this project. Your honesty, integrity, and vulnerability were so inspiring. God bless you, and God bless the cast, crew, and "family" of The Chosen. Get used to different, indeed!
Very powerful! It just made me realize how many of us are broken... the church has a great responsibility to mirror Christ. This brings me a sober mind and how careful we need to be when we represent ourselves a Christians to the world. We need to learn to truly love others...
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G….just watched this twice in one day. Wow, the courage in these young adults is beautiful to see, and as usual The Chosen executes with perfection. I want to give you all hugs and listen to more. Where is Chris in the interviews? Would like to hear from him too. God bless you all!
Agreed. I kinda want a deeper dive!! Lol
My wife and I absolutely loved this livestream, especially the documentary. We were so moved by each of the participants and wish we could have met and hugged each of them at the place they were at. I have been able to use The Chosen to lead some small groups in our church community, but after seeing this documentary I will try to use the small group curriculum I created to intentionally work with Gen Z and other younger people. I must push out beyond my comfort zone to meet people where they are, especially since God meets me where I'm at. I so love what this show is and what it's becoming, and so happy that I can pay it forward to reach many more people.
Bravo to these kids for being open. Tears in my eyes several times, when I got to see God reaching them... to see that headway being made... man, God is Good!!!
My hubs and I just watched this (somehow we missed the live), and as I watched and listened to the young people who graciously took part in this, I was so touched by your stories and found myself wishing I could take each of you in my arms and tell you how valued each one of you are, that your past does not define you, but that you are chosen by a God who loved you so much He died for each of you, that He saw every heartache you endured and loves you unconditionally. Never stop seeking Him-you will never regret it. I can’t wait to meet each one of you in heaven one day!
What a powerful picture of how beautiful cultural variety can be when we all take time to listen to each other. The young viewers are obviously intelligent and people who think (and care) deeply. Their authenticity and willingness to share so personally has been a gift to those of us who are already fans of The Chosen. I pray that each of them feels our prayers for their lives and future.
Thank you, Gen Z young people who let us see "The Chosen" through your eyes. I admire your courage! I pray that you are blessed greatly!
This is Veronica from Bangalore India so thankful to all of you for the Chosen it’s life changing God bless you all
I didn’t realize all the ways the same scenes I had watched with my eyes, through my lens of life experience could be interpreted in so many moving ways. Such a beautiful documentary.
To all you young people who took the chance amd exposed yourselves, thank you and God bless you all. My tears and happiness are with you.
Oh my gosh. Watching the doc now. I just want to hug and hold the gal who was so devastated with the molestation & betrayal. My heart breaks for her & I will be praying for her emotional healing.
The gal from Jakarta, she "kept a part of herself for herself", wisdom beyond her years. I just learned this is good. I've been a Christian 43 yrs
Beautiful and diverse hearts of the GenZ participants. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and God Bless each one of you.
Thank you Gen-Z for your transparency. I'm praying that all of them have an encounter with the love of the father that would change the trajectory of their lives forever.
Praying for all these beautiful young people - forgive me for my judgement on them . Thank you Lord for opening my eyes ! Thank you to the Chosen for giving us this wonderful gift.
I missed this seeing this on Sunday but this early Wednesday morning my heart was sooo blessed and filled. I had to pray for each of the 9 and because their vulnerable testimonies broke my heart I felt the need to repent for the church. This made it clear as to why Christians are called haters. I no longer want to be a part of the haters. I want to be known as one full of love. Thanks for doing the difficult, or maybe the impossible by changing people's hearts. And my heart, too.
Hello, how are you doing
I think you are letting critics of Christianity to define who we are. Don’t fall in the devils trap of the sin of slandering others. The Bible is pretty clear the message of the Gospel is a two edged sword and seems divisive to those who don’t want to hear. Calling and labeling Christians haters is an old trick by those who don’t want to participate in an open conversation. I have a sister and cousins who are gay. I love them all and they never called me or any of my Christian family and friends haters. Don’t forget as Jesus said, “they will hate me before they hate you.”
I was skeptical at first when I saw the genz group, but quickly changed my mind when I saw the impact that their encounter with Jesus was having on them. Isn't this exactly what is hoped for all along with the chosen. I'm so glad you decided to do this with the genz group to show us exactly what it's like to watch God work in their lives. I was crying with them and at the same time was so full of joy to watch the power of God doing a work inside these precious young people . They will now being in so many people's prayers including ourselves. And now my husband and myself have decided to pay it forward for the first time because we know that is what our Lord is leading us to do.
That was a blessing to watch. Thank you to all the participants in the documentary! May God bless you all!
I’m so grateful to the team of young adults who shared their lives - their past and some of the present - with us. You all are so beautiful, so strong. I’m so sorry about the trauma you went through and the difficulties you went through. I wish and pray only the absolute best for all of you. I pray you continue to heal from your past and also any present traumas, and I sincerely hope that you are treated with the dignity, the respect that God wants for you, for all of us. I pray we can all do that for each other. (I’m no stranger to challenges and traumatic experiences myself, and I pray that all of us can treat each other with all of the care that God wants for us.) Thanks so much for sharing; so grateful for you. God bless you all
