Then, there was that scene where Jesus placed his hand on Mary and redeemed her. That moment marked a profound shift in my life, and I knew I wanted to follow Jesus.
I always believed in God, though my belief in Jesus was somewhat uncertain. One day, while attending physical therapy for my knee, a woman asked if I had watched "The Chosen." A few weeks later, she brought it up again, and I decided to give it a try. The first episode was a bit slow, but I stuck with it. Then, there was that scene where Jesus placed his hand on Mary and redeemed her. That moment marked a profound shift in my life, and I knew I wanted to follow Jesus. Since then, I've watched all three available seasons of the show multiple times and eagerly anticipate the fourth season. I feel strongly that I need to do what I can to ensure the show is available for all.

My journey is simple. I've known the Lord since I was 8 and always upheld the teachings of my parents, including tithing. However, a decade ago, when my pastor retired and sold our church, I felt a deep sense of betrayal. Our congregation was disbanded, and I felt used. My foundational church's shift towards a more inclusive approach further distanced me. Then, I discovered 'The Chosen' on Facebook. From the first episode, I was captivated. When Jesus called out to Mary of Magdala, I felt He was speaking to me, and it moved me deeply. While I haven't found a new church, I've chosen to support 'The Chosen' with my tithes. My hope is that this series transforms others, regardless of their journey.

It breathes life into the scriptures and gives a whole new depth to my understanding of my Savior, Jesus Christ.
Hello, I'm Kacy, and I'd like to share my journey with you. I've always had this deep-seated desire to make a difference in someone's life, no matter how small. It could be as simple as greeting them with a warm 'good morning' or asking about their day. These seemingly insignificant gestures can have a profound impact on someone's life, or at the very least, brighten their day. It all comes down to having the courage, seizing the opportunity, and most importantly, the willingness to make a difference. I'm a huge fan of The Chosen. It breathes life into the scriptures and gives a whole new depth to my understanding of my Savior, Jesus Christ. I want to express my gratitude to the team behind The Chosen. You're making a significant impact on all of us. Continue to inspire us to come unto Him.

To know Jesus is there for us, even when we're at the end of our rope, continues to amaze me. The Chosen has been a wonderful part of my new life as a Christian.
I grew up Catholic, but my connection with God was never strong. Life always took precedence. However, a series of events completely changed that. First, I lost my dad, which was incredibly difficult. Then, a year and a half later, my mom was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. It was unbelievable and devastating. The doctors gave her three months to live, but she managed to survive for five and a half years. Those years were incredibly tough to witness. She suffered immensely. During that time, I was also dealing with my youngest child's battle with an eating disorder. It was so severe that we had to send her out of state for treatment. Meanwhile, both my daughter and I were diagnosed with the same genetic disease that took my father's life: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. On top of that, I was diagnosed with Polyposis, which means I have a high risk of developing certain cancers. Needless to say, I was completely overwhelmed. Fast forward to St. Patrick's Day 2022, when I lost my brave mother. Just as she passed away, my daughter returned home from the treatment center, supposedly cured of her bulimia. However, a few weeks later, she overdosed on alcohol and ended up in the ICU for four days. Although her bulimia was cured, her anxiety and major depression were left unaddressed. Thankfully, she survived without any brain damage. My husband and I dedicated ourselves to getting her the help she needed for her anxiety and depression. In August, I had to undergo surgery for another medical issue. During my recovery, lying in bed, I felt completely done. I had always been a fighter, always taking care of everyone, but I had reached my limit. It was at that moment that I heard a voice, and I knew exactly who it was. It said, "Stacey, I'm here." That was my turning point. As I recovered, hope returned to my life. For the first time in my 51 years, I started reading the Bible and actually understanding it. I felt guided to reach out to people, including my father's cousin, who has been instrumental in my spiritual journey. It was through him and his wife that I discovered the show, The Chosen. I watched the first episode featuring Mary Magdalene, and her story resonated deeply with me. To know that Jesus is there for us, even when we're at the end of our rope, continues to amaze me. I've watched The Chosen four times now. I've been baptized, started a Bible study group, and we've gone through Seasons 1 and 2 of The Chosen. We're eagerly awaiting Season 3 in September 2020. The best part is that my daughter is doing incredibly well. She's now a freshman in college, majoring in psychology to help others with eating disorders. In July, we even had the opportunity to travel to Goshen, UT, and be extras for the Season 4 Finale of The Chosen. I can't express how much I love this show and how I've been sharing it with everyone. It has truly become a wonderful part of my new life as a Christian.

The Chosen has done an exceptional job of presenting a holistic view of Jesus, the only one truly worth following.
As someone who has dedicated their life to studying the Bible and teaching adults for over four decades, I've found that the series, Chosen, truly captures the essence of the Messiah. Every Sunday afternoon, we gather as a church family to watch this series, and the insightful questions it sparks are truly remarkable. This portrayal of Jesus is something that needs to be seen by as many people as possible. In American churches, our preaching has often been skewed, focusing on one aspect of the Savior over others. But we're called to follow Jesus as he is, not a version we've created for ourselves. To do otherwise is simply idolatry. The Chosen has done an exceptional job of presenting a holistic view of Jesus, the only one truly worth following. It's a series that strikes at the heart of what it means to be a follower of Christ, challenging us to see beyond our preconceptions and embrace the full measure of the Messiah.

As a young college student stepping into adulthood, I've begun to understand the value of thoughtful decisions, especially when it comes to finances. My modest allowance comes from my parents, but I've realized that even if it's limited, I should use a portion for God's glory. "The Chosen" deeply resonated with me, and I felt compelled to contribute, however small the amount. I hope my heartfelt donation makes a difference. Blessings to you all 🙏🏼.
