I have a 10 year old son who was recently diagnosed with Autism. I have hope, pride and a grateful heart…but still, in the very depths of my heart, was the fear: “How can he serve you if He doesn’t understand the concept of an unseen Father?” I prayed and God answered. I gave The Chosen a chance. Once we realized that Matthew’s character was autistic, I fell on my knees and wept for maybe an hour. Seeing Jesus telling Simon “get used to different” still brings tears of joy. Jesus saw Matthew’s value. He understood he was different but not less useful than his other disciples. But the most important lesson was that Matthew had the capacity to love and willingly gave his life to Jesus on his own accord. Every episode felt like God Himself telling me, “look! I will work through your son, and he is no different than my other sheep. Your son not only will be able to know but love Me and serve Me in ways you cannot imagine”. I see the correlation between making Matthew’s character autistic and a tax collector, but I felt God inspired it on purpose so I could see how far He can take my son. My son’s name is Mattias, the Hebrew version of Matthew. My son not only understands that Matthew in The Chosen is like him, but he willingly came to us to get baptized and accept Jesus into his heart. Our pastors and I asked him if he understood what it means: he knew Jesus for sure. Not only did he get baptized but he recently wrote in his closet door “God is good”, stating that he feels God in his room with him. You have NO IDEA how much the show helped my husband and I to know and understand that our Matthew, is loved, has purpose and will grow into the man of God, we know he will be. I’m sure the Holy Spirit is working overtime inspiring the writers, the cast, and everyone involved. Thank you for being a vessel, for being a beacon of light and hope! The world will get used to different.

To God be the glory for the way The Chosen is making history around the world and in my life.
The release of 'The Chosen' felt divinely timed. Its portrayal of Jesus and Mary Magdalene deeply resonated with my personal journey with Jesus. The acting and casting were impeccable, and it felt like watching my own story. But what makes it even more special is watching it with my 88-year-old mother and brother. My brother endured a 12-year ordeal in an Indonesian prison, unjustly sentenced to death. It seemed like an insurmountable situation, but through global prayers and divine interventions, he was miraculously released in 2021. The simple act of us sitting together, watching any show, is a miracle. Watching 'The Chosen' together is indescribable. Seeing my brother, alive and moved by the show, fills my heart with joy. Thank you, Dallas, for your faith and obedience in creating this show. Your dedication is evident in every interview and story. To God be the glory for the way The Chosen is making history around the world and in my life. Blessings, Monique Amado. P.S. Here's a video of our reunion at the airport after his release: https://youtu.be/swO_7zkdWUA?si=BH3TUXLyy9v6zBz-

In my 80 years, I've never felt such enthusiasm for Christ and the Bible as I have in these past few months, thanks to The Chosen.
I was born into my faith, and over time, I've grown within it, slowly but surely. I've been fortunate to experience God's grace in profound ways, which has deepened my love, devotion, and understanding of Him. Less than a year ago, I stumbled upon The Chosen and decided to give it a shot. From the first episode of the first season, I was captivated. I devoured all three seasons in just three days. The joy and love for Christ, Scripture, and our shared history that this show has sparked in me is beyond words. I've watched it multiple times, and I'm still discovering new details and nuances. In my 80 years, I've never felt such enthusiasm for Christ and the Bible as I have in these past few months, thanks to The Chosen. The show, along with its round table discussions, podcasts, and specials, has been a gift. I only wish I could contribute more financially to the completion of all seven seasons. If God calls me home before I get to experience them all, know that my prayers will continue. I pray that His grace will reach over a billion people through The Chosen, a healing balm for our hurting, broken world.

It's as if I used to read the Bible in black and white, but now it's vivid with color.
For 40 years, I've tried to follow Jesus. Though I identify with Peter's fiery temperament, the other figures always felt distant to me. However, when I watched the miracle of the fish, I felt like I was there, experiencing it all. That moment transformed my understanding and drew me closer to Jesus and other Bible stories. It's as if I used to read the Bible in black and white, but now it's vivid with color.

I may have only brought a scrap of bread and a sardine, but it made me feel incredible to be a part of something so meaningful.
In 2018, I became a widow. The adjustments that come with losing a long-term partner are immense. Throughout it all, I held onto my faith in the Lord and His promises for widows. It was around Christmas time when I stumbled upon the original short episode that premiered before The Chosen was even produced. As I watched it, tears streamed down my face. I was completely emotionally invested in this short film. I couldn't stop watching it, and I started recommending it to everyone I knew. I felt compelled to learn more about the producers and the people behind this incredible project. My heart and spirit told me that I needed to invest in it, not just emotionally, but financially as well. To be honest, I didn't have a lot of money, but I knew it was the right thing to do. I am so grateful that God allowed me to be a part of it from the beginning. I only wish I had been a wealthy widow so I could have done more. But as Dallas always says, "Loaves and fishes!" In my case, I may have only brought a scrap of bread and a sardine, but it still made me feel incredible to be a part of something so meaningful. I continue to recommend the series to everyone I know. Recently, one of my daughters started watching it too. She has now watched the entire available series multiple times. Surprisingly, she has also developed an interest in Middle Eastern cooking because of The Chosen. I never saw that coming, but it's a nice bonus! I want to express my deepest gratitude to Dallas and everyone involved in this project. God's hand is truly all over it.
