Harnessing Digital Media for Mission: Stan Jantz on The Chosen and the Power of Storytelling to Reach the Nations


Listen Later

Imagine the gospel in every heart language through digital storytelling. Discover how projects like The Chosen illustrate the power of media, collaboration, and creativity in advancing global mission.

In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Jason Watson sits down with Stan Jantz, Global Ambassador for the Come and See Foundation, the organization behind The Chosen. Together, they explore how digital media can serve as a powerful tool for mission, the role of storytelling in reaching across cultures, and the global impact of translating The Chosen into 600 languages. Stan also shares his personal mission of being “an influence for the Lord” and how collaboration can accelerate the Great Commission.

 

Main Points:

  • Digital media as the third great shift in mission history (after Roman roads and the printing press).
  • The vision of The Chosen: reaching one billion people in their heart language through translation into 600+ languages.
  • Why storytelling resonates across cultures and generations — and why Gen Z is drawn to beauty and excellence.
  • How collaboration with ministries like Alpha, Cru, and Prison Fellowship multiplies impact.
  • Stan’s life mission: being “an influence for the Lord” through integrity, humility, and generosity.
