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.

I remember hearing some actors from Chosen doing readings on the Hallow app during Christmas. I've always been skeptical about Christian shows and movies, assuming they were cheesy with poor acting. But then, both Netflix and Amazon Prime kept recommending it. So, I decided to give it a shot, just one episode. To my surprise, I was instantly hooked. My friends now joke that I could be a marketer for the show, given my newfound passion for it! I'm currently on my third round of watching it and even participating in a Bible study alongside.

My husband and I first discovered Chosen on Netflix. My husband, being a new and eager believer, was instantly captivated by its powerful message. We have two children, our four-year-old son Liam, who is non-verbal and autistic, and our three-year-old daughter, Emily. Watching the healing episode in season 3 was a profound experience for us. We were moved to tears, thinking about our son and the miracles that Jesus performed. We found ourselves filled with hope, believing that if Jesus could heal then, he can certainly heal our boy now. We live on a low income and times have been tough, especially with my husband being out of work. But we felt so blessed by the show that we wanted to contribute in whatever small way we could. Thank you for sharing the miracles of Jesus with the world in such a powerful and spirit-inspired way. Your work is truly a blessing. Keep up the great work!
