Jase, Al, and Zach sit down with Dallas Jenkins, director of “The Chosen,” for a candid peek behind the scenes on faith and filmmaking. Jase shares how Phil used to deal with producers who wanted to water down his Jesus talk, and Dallas walks through the show’s guardrails including script review, theological checks and balances, and a constant aim to point viewers back to Scripture. The guys explore the industry’s pressure to soften explicit faith, and how to keep Jesus’ name loud and clear when the world doesn’t want to hear it.
