'No Explanation...Other Than God': Remarkable Way 'The Chosen' Transforms Lives Globally

"The Chosen," the TV series that chronicles the lives of Jesus and His disciples, has become a global phenomenon, sparking spin-off projects, memorabilia, and more. Among the projects that stem from the popular show are a book series and interactive Bible study aimed at helping viewers better connect with Scripture. Amanda Jenkins, wife of "The Chosen" show runner Dallas Jenkins, most recently authored "God's Goodness for the Chosen: An Interactive Bible Study Season 4," a project she says explores the main theme present in season four of the show: human suffering. "The show itself really has to do with a lot of suffering," Jenkins told CBN News. "We're starting to see that Jesus is allowing His followers to suffer. He's not removing suffering when He's being asked or in the way He's being asked." She said it's been incredible to watch "The Chosen" serve as a tool that helps "reintroduce people to Jesus." The cast and crew continue to hear stories from people who say they had fallen away from faith but are coming back, and they credit the show for helping in that process. Others proclaim "The Chosen" has inspired them to find Christ for the first time. "It's spanning demographics," Jenkins said. "It's old people and young people. It's special needs people. It's every culture. It's in every country of the world. ... There is no explanation for it other than God is just doing a thing, and we get to be kind of in a front-row seat to it." Jenkins said this is ultimately the end goal: to drive people "back to Scripture."
