I heard about "The Chosen" for a long time before I ever watched an episode. And forgive the pun, because a bunch of the people Jesus chose to follow Him were fishermen, but I was HOOKED immediately! This show found a place in my heart, and I can honestly say that every time I watch it, I feel closer to Jesus. How can a TV show do this? Well, the writing is wonderful; so connective and innovative. And funny! You'll smile or weep, depending on the episode. You'll see yourself in one or many of the characters, promise. Director Dallas Jenkins and his team are breaking the mold of the constantly serious, contemplative Jesus and painting, I believe, a picture of what He was really like while He lived on earth. Our Lord got tired, His feet needed washing, He built a fire to stay warm. He's a smiling Jesus. His kindness and compassion and love absolutely all radiate from your smartphone or TV screen. And here is where I must give credit to the gifted actor, Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus. I'm amazed and delighted to tell you that he's with us on the show today.

Take a listen. Even if you don't believe in God, one of the things we talk about is how they receive letters from atheists who appreciate the show. Perhaps you'll watch the first episode (it's even on Netflix now) and see what everyone is talking about. And email me your thoughts - I'd love to hear from you - Mornings@SPIRIT1053.com.
And if you're a seeker, I want you to know... God believes in YOU!

You are Loved, Erica
