Produced by Dallas Jenkins, the Jesus-centered web-based, episodic program "The Chosen" premiered in April 2019 and became the largest crowdfunding media project in history. More than 16,000 people contributed over $10 million to the production for its first season.

And the culture's appetite for the program has only grown  since then.

Twice "The Chosen" has premiered new episodes in movie theaters:  Fathom Event’s top two best-selling events have come from The Chosen with ‘Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers’ grossing over $13.5 million in 2021 and ‘The Chosen Season 3 episodes 1 & 2’ grossing over $14 million, placing second in gross box office on the Friday of its opening weekend,  Further, when Season 3's episodes 1 & 2 ticket sales went live, the overwhelming demand crashed the Fathom Events website.

Today's Kingdom Culture Conversations--a "What About? Wednesday episode featuring nationally-recognized apologist Robby Lashua--finds the KCC team asking fundamental questions about the viral video phenomenon.  Why is this series so popular?  Is the theology sound?  What do we make of the rumors that funding for the program has come from the Mormon church?

What is this Kingdom Culture Conversation podcast tradition, " 'What About?' Wednesday"?   Every-other-Wednesday, we are joined by Robby Lashua, of Stand to Reason Ministries, an apologetics ministry based in Southern California.

Robby's role within these special "What About?" Wednesday episodes?  Podcast listeners have the opportunity to email/text in their own "What About?" questions and during these episodes, Robby will work to answer the questions, point students towards the scriptural truth underlying their inquiry, and equip them to defend their faith!
