Listen Later

When Dallas Jenkins, creator, principal writer and show runner for The Chosen spoke at Oklahoma Christian University, The Christian Chronicle's Bobby Ross, Jr., got a chance to sit down with him for a conversation. Carla Hinton, faith editor for The Oklahomanand The Christian Chronicle's CEO Erik Tryggestad joined them. 

In this interview, you'll hear Jenkins talk about:

  • The experience of filming the sixth season of The Chosen, which is all about the crucifixion of Jesus. 
  • How he handles the expectations of politicians that he (and his show) will be a platform and voice for their particular views.
  • Why he chose to make The Chosen a TV show instead of a movie.
  • The impact that The Chosen is making on Christians and non-Christians alike all over the world.
  • How he chose Jonathan Roumie to play Jesus of Nazareth.
  • The extreme personal and professional challenges of creating and sustaining The Chosen.
  • How the broader entertainment industry has responded to, and been changed by, The Chosen phenomenon.
  • The challenge and opportunity of interpreting Scripture through an artistic medium like television.
