The Chosen and its Roundtable Discussions

I was talking to someone here via PM about The Chosen series and suggested that the Roundtable Discussions on their Chisen App are awesome. (Here is a sample below)

My wife and I typically watch the Roundtable for each episode before we watch a given episode. We have seen every episode of Season 1 through 5 at least twice, and are looking forward to the season six which is the crucifiction week. (To be released before Easter I think.) I can’t imagine watching the crucifiction story without having seen the first 5 seasons where the characters and backstories were developed. With the absence of much no other decent TV, my wife and I have relied a lot of The Chosen as an alternative.




The Roundtable discussions are with Dallas Jenkins the Writer and Director, a roman Carholic priest, an Evangelical Scholar and a Jewish Rabbi. Absolutely fascinating discussions.

They do an awesome job of presenting the message and are well on the way to offering the series in over 600 languages. Not just dubbed like old Bruce Lee movies, but with artificial intelligence where the lips are perfectly synced with the spoken words.

The word becoming flesh in 600 languages via The Chosen

Good gospel-focused translation should bring us closer to each other and closer to Jesus. When done well, it transforms lives like the lives of Rita and her daughter while watching The Chosen. As a result, Rita has gone on to serve with Come and See. This is her story of gospel transformation.

Surely somebody has something negative OR positive to say about this. I’ll take anything……… :unsure:

(tap, tap, tap is anyone out there?)

After watching Season 5 they will not have a dry eye in the bunch, and Season 6 coming in the spring will be the crucifixion! The reason I say this is IF you have seen the back stories and character development, the crucifixion will be an extra level of emotional. Season 5 was really sad to me seeing Jesus’s realization in his eyes that the disciples just aren’t getting what is about to happen. By the end of Season 5, the impact on them really started to show as it seemed to dawn on them what Jesus had warned them of in cruptic language was about to come true. The “easy part is over” is starting to sink in!

Season 4, Episode 3 ... the death of Rammah. [spoiler alert]

This was hard to watch (for me and many people). On the one hand, I completely get WHY they did it from the "story arc" point of view, but it was a point that was probably THEOLOGICALLY incorrect.

On the positive side, it is helpful and honest to show that following Jesus does not mean "bad things" do not happen any more ... we are called THROUGH suffering, not around it. On the negative side, the Bible NEVER presents someone coming to Jesus for help and being told "No." (as Thomas was).

What do you think?
 
I liked the interaction of Little James and
Jesus about James’s afliction”. Jesus’s response to James was very plaisable. Not sure which episode it was in, but it was about the same time as as Thomas’ dilema, though his fiance Ramah’s was not in the Bible. The show seemed to be developing a plausable reason for his doubt that WAS IN the scripture, but not explained. The Little James conversation with Jesus was my favorite in the entire series.
