Have any of y’all watched The Chosen?
I won’t put any spoilers in this post. If I do in later posts I’ll preface it with <<SPOILER ALERT>>
Can it be a spoiler if you’ve already read the stories
I have 2 teenagers and they watched an episode of The Chosen in youth one night. My kids wanted to keep watching with my wife and I. My kids explained that it’s based on the Gospel narrative of Jesus calling His disciples. The show fills in the blanks with their imagination of how things may have went.
With that description I went into watching the 1st episode with a suspicious eye…
What I found surprised me. I found myself enjoying the story.
I also found that this gave a great opportunity to discuss what is actually in the account according to the Bible and what was imagined for the account. Great discussions!
Now, we’ve finished the first season…
My main takeaway is this. I’m not an overly emotional person. I found myself being filled with emotion watching many of the scenes I’ve read about many times acted out.
