The Chosen became my beacon of hope, offering a renewed perspective on life, God, and Jesus during my darkest hours.


Hello, I'm Josie, a 30-year-old woman from São Gabriel do Oeste, a city nestled in the heart of Brazil. I first encountered The Chosen in 2021, a few months after my father, my rock, succumbed to cancer. His loss left me adrift, searching for something to anchor me. That's when The Chosen came into my life. I was immediately captivated by the series, which portrayed Jesus in a way I'd never seen before - as a human, relatable and real. It was through this depiction that I began to grasp why He had called me. Fast forward to the start of this year, I found myself revisiting the three seasons of The Chosen. This was after a period of self-isolation from church and surviving two suicide attempts. Watching the series again, I found a renewed perspective on life, God, and Jesus. I won't pretend that everything is perfect now. I still grapple with depression, but I'm learning to cope, to keep moving forward. The Chosen has been a beacon of hope in my life, a testament to the power of faith. I'm grateful for the work they do. May God bless them.

Watching Chosen, we were moved to tears, filled with hope. If Jesus could heal then, he can certainly heal our boy now.
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!

The portrayal of Jesus' grace and power deeply moved me. While my heart still mourns, I find peace in scripture and Jesus' sacrifices. 'The Chosen' beautifully depicts Jesus and all characters, and I'm grateful for its role in my healing journey.
I always felt close to God and Jesus, but it was the tragic loss of my daughter, Autumn, that truly tested my faith. For a year, I felt lost and broken. A friend advised me to "surrender" to the Lord. At first, I resisted, feeling I had lost enough. But as I delved deeper into scripture and prayer, I realized my faith was my strength. It helped me heal and reconnect with my soul. Around this time, I started watching 'The Chosen'. The portrayal of Jesus' grace and power deeply moved me.

My journey is simple. I've known the Lord since I was 8 and always upheld the teachings of my parents, including tithing. However, a decade ago, when my pastor retired and sold our church, I felt a deep sense of betrayal. Our congregation was disbanded, and I felt used. My foundational church's shift towards a more inclusive approach further distanced me. Then, I discovered 'The Chosen' on Facebook. From the first episode, I was captivated. When Jesus called out to Mary of Magdala, I felt He was speaking to me, and it moved me deeply. While I haven't found a new church, I've chosen to support 'The Chosen' with my tithes. My hope is that this series transforms others, regardless of their journey.

'The Chosen' brought me hope and a sense of God's love during my darkest hours. I'm profoundly grateful for it.
I'm a hospital chaplain and, despite my passion for the job, chaplaincy during COVID was heart-wrenching, with people passing away isolated from their families. I felt overwhelmed until, on one Sunday, three individuals recommended 'The Chosen'. I watched the first three episodes that very night and now view one daily. 'The Chosen' brought me hope and a sense of God's love during my darkest hours. I'm profoundly grateful for it. Thank you!
