Perhaps you have heard of this compelling TV show. Perhaps you have heard me talk about it. I am always encouraging people to check it out because I truly believe it is the best telling of the Gospel stories we have seen outside of the Bible itself. You can watch it on YouTube – just google The Chosen and you can watch it for free. BUT I think it will encourage great dialogue about the gospels if it is watched in a group. The stated purpose of the show is to invite people to go back to the bible and reread the amazing stories that are there.
