Rabbi Jason Sobel, Messianic Jewish rabbi, spiritual advisor to The Chosen, and founder of Fusion Global, tells the full story of the supernatural encounter that transformed him from an Orthodox Jewish kid into one of the most respected teachers connecting the Old and New Testaments today.In this episode of The Resilient Show, host Chad Robichaux and Rabbi Sobel go deep on what it means to be a Messianic Jew, why most Jews have rejected Jesus as the Messiah, what the Bible actually says about Israel being God's chosen people, the truth behind the Talmud (and what it's NOT), the "Christ is King" controversy between Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson, and the real spiritual war behind antisemitism throughout history.Rabbi Sobel also shares behind-the-scenes stories from working with Dallas Jenkins and Jonathan Roumie on The Chosen, why Jesus had to die on a tree (the Eden reversal), how the Jewish context of Scripture unlocks the Bible in "high definition," and the gospel message of salvation that changed his life.RABBI JASON SOBEL'S LATEST BOOK:- Transformed by the Messiah (forward by Dallas Jenkins) — https://www.fusionglobal.org/shop/transformed-by-the-messiah/FOLLOW RABBI JASON SOBEL & FUSION GLOBAL:- Website: https://www.fusionglobal.org- Rock Road Rabbi Tours to Israel: https://www.rockroadrabbi.com- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/rabbijasonsobelCHAD ROBICHAUX'S NEW BOOK — "RIPTIDE" (pre-order for May 12):- https://www.tyndale.com/p/riptide/9781496488756——Stay up-to-date with all things Resilient by subscribing to our Resilient Times Newsletter: https://resilienttimes.substack.comRESILIENT:Follow Us On Patreon: https://patreon.com/theresilientshowFollow Us On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resilientshowFollow Us On Twitter: https://twitter.com/resilientshowFollow Us On TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@resilientshowLIVE RESILIENT STORE:https://shop.theresilientshow.comFollow Chad: https://www.instagram.com/chadrobo_officialhttps://x.com/ChadRoboSPONSORS:GoldCo https://chadlikesgold.comSmith & Wesson: https://www.smith-wesson.comVortex Optics: https://vortexoptics.comGatorz Eyewear: https://www.gatorz.comAllied Wealth: https://alliedwealth.comBioPro+: https://www.bioproteintech.com/CHAD30BioXCellerator: https://www.bioxcellerator.comSLNT: https://slnt.com------The Resilient Show is a proud supporter of military and first responder communities in partnership with Mighty Oaks Foundation.
In an age dominated by streaming platforms, social media algorithms, and a constant flow of digital entertainment, it might seem unlikely that a series about the life of Jesus would become one of the most talked‑about global media phenomena of the past decade. Yet that is precisely what has happened with The Chosen, the multi‑season television drama created by Dallas Jenkins. What began as a modest, crowdfunded project has grown into an international cultural movement that is reshaping how biblical stories are presented in modern media. As Easter approaches each year—a season centered on the death and resurrection of Christ—the impact of The Chosen becomes even more meaningful. The series not only retells the Gospel story but also invites audiences to rediscover its humanity, relevance, and emotional depth in a way that resonates across generations and cultures. I wanted to trace a bit more of its history and discover why it broke through, especially in today's media climate.

Join The Morning Cruise (plus Mohair!) at Chosen Con as they sit down with Paras Patel, who plays Matthew on The Chosen, with Carmen’s mom—an avid fan—kicking off the questions. Patel shares that he often returns home to Florida between seasons to stay grounded, recalls the lighthearted atmosphere on set (naming Jordan Walker Ross as the biggest jokester), and talks about earning a finance degree before portraying a tax collector. He explains his casting journey for Matthew, including a Zoom callback glitch, a late offer after filming began, and how Dallas Jenkins’ wife Amanda felt a spiritual calling that he fit the role. Patel discusses how portraying Matthew as neurodivergent has deepened the show’s dynamics, strengthened Matthew’s personal journey, and motivated him to amplify awareness and belonging for neurodivergent audiences.

Did you grow up learning about Bible stories through Sunday school felt boards while holding your storybook picture Bible? Does your grandmother have a picture of blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus hanging in her home? Have you watched Mel Gibson's The Passion or Dallas Jenkins' The Chosen and felt as if it helped you to better connect with Jesus' humanity?In this episode, we dive deep into the scope of the Second Commandment - "You shall not make for yourself an idol" - exploring both what Scripture has to say and how it was viewed historically. From Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 4, we unpack God's prohibition against fashioning representations of Himself, including the two-fold command against making and worshiping them. We trace the regulative principle of worship through church history: from early Christian symbols to the Roman Catholic veneration of images, the Reformers' ban under Calvin and the Puritans, and its modern relaxation.Drawing on the golden calf in Exodus 32, we see how "good" intentions don't excuse transgression, as God declares His jealousy and promises blessings for obedience (Exodus 20:5-6). God's holiness (Leviticus 19:2) and invisibility (Romans 1:20; Colossians 1:15) demand faith in the unseen (Hebrews 11:1), not visual aids.We address common concerns: intentions of the heart, classical art, teaching children about Jesus, and more, all while affirming the Westminster Larger Catechism's clear stance against any depiction of the Godhead. Whether you're Reformed or curious, join us for a Scripture-saturated discussion on worshiping God as He commands, especially in the season celebrating the Incarnation.Keep Up with Reformed Faith and Family in the Following Ways:Never miss an episode, article, or a new FREEBIE by joining our weekly newsletter here: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/subscribe/Build your library with our recommended resources: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/recommended-resources/Read the latest articles: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/blog/Download your FREEBIES in our store: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/educational-resources-store/Check out the Gift Shop: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/gift-shop/Good Dog Bible Rebinds: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/good-dog-designs-and-rebinds/WE HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK!

Merry Christmas!!! After having so much fun last year, I am joined once again by my good friend and mentor Gary DeMar for our second annual Christmas movie conversation. What began as a simple holiday movie list quickly turned into a deep exploration of film history, wartime culture, hidden biblical themes in classic cinema, and several forgotten animated gems that place the Bible at the center of the story. From Jimmy Stewart's real tears in It's a Wonderful Life to the tense romance of Remember the Night to the surprising theological depth behind the 1939 short Good Will to Men, Gary brings decades of insight that transform these films into something far richer than nostalgia. If you love Christmas or movies or hearing Gary unpack the world behind the stories, this episode will be a gift to you.We also highlight lesser known treasures like Mr. Soft Touch, the unusual charm of Holiday Affair, and the new Best Christmas Pageant Ever from Dallas Jenkins. The conversation is filled with personal stories, behind the scenes trivia, and reflections on the redemptive themes that make Christmas storytelling so meaningful. Whether you are wrapping presents, driving through town to look at lights, or simply trying to enjoy a peaceful moment in the middle of December, this episode will warm your heart and expand your watchlist. Come sit with us, laugh with us, and rediscover the meaning woven into films old and new.

Dallas and Amanda Jenkins, creators of The Chosen, join the Perrys to talk about how God used one movie's box-office failure to bring about the now globally popular television series about the life of Jesus. The Jenkins talk about bringing their “five loaves and two fish” to God, letting Him handle the multiplication, and creating from a place of dependence rather than success. They discuss what it looks like to lead with authenticity, use “sanctified imagination” while staying true to Scripture, and keep their focus on honoring the character of Jesus. The conversation also covers how they handle criticism of their handling of Scripture and how they view The Chosen as both creative work and ministry.This Episode Is Sponsored By:https://www.covenanteyes.com/perrys/ — Get Victory by Covenant Eyes FREE for 30 days with promo code PERRYShttps://liberty.edu/Perry — Get your application fee WAIVED when you start your future with Liberty University today!Stream The Chosen on Prime Video or in The Chosen app: https://www.thechosen.tv/en-usConnect with the Jenkinshttps://www.instagram.com/dallas.jenkins/https://www.instagram.com/amandaleejenkins/Check out other Bible study resources and children's books from The Chosen: https://www.amazon.com/stores/TheChosen/page/DA0F6571-B17A-41C3-8A25-5882393DA109Scripture referencesJohn 15:2 Subscribe to the Perrys' newsletter: https://withtheperrys.myflodesk.com/zhfus4jx1sJoin Preston's discipleship community for men: https://www.patreon.com/PrestonPerry/membershipTo support the work of the Perrys, donate via PayPal: https://paypal.me/withtheperrysShop BOLD Apparel: boldapparel.shop Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In Part Two of Jesus in Culture Weekend, Dallas Jenkins shared how The Chosen was born from his desire to close the “stained-glass” gap between people and Jesus—and from a season of personal failure that reoriented him to the “five loaves and two fish” posture of obedience, which God multiplied into an unlikely, record-setting launch. He explained the show's creative heartbeat: portray Jesus as fully God and fully human, let viewers see Him through the eyes of those who met Him, and use that authenticity to point people back to Scripture, an impact that's also transforming the team itself (including cast/crew coming to faith and even baptism).Support the show
Jase, Al, and Zach sit down with Dallas Jenkins, director of “The Chosen,” for a candid peek behind the scenes on faith and filmmaking. Jase shares how Phil used to deal with producers who wanted to water down his Jesus talk, and Dallas walks through the show's guardrails including script review, theological checks and balances, and a constant aim to point viewers back to Scripture. The guys explore the industry's pressure to soften explicit faith, and how to keep Jesus' name loud and clear when the world doesn't want to hear it.
