Jacob and Adam as they explore the idea of authority, and why someone being in charge is not really that bad.

About Chosen

From the publisher's feed

We can often expect God to communicate His presence in very grand ways: a burning bush, parting sea, or pillar of cloud. But more times than not, God chooses the simple, quiet, and seemingly ordinary moments of daily life to communicate His love. Chosen, a Region Catholic Production, spends time each week reflecting on the ways God shows us his love and how to best respond.
