Raining Lights and What Must the People Know by Heather J Kirk in the Ea...

Crazy stuff about this project! (Please Like and Share like Crazy - it is a beautiful message from our Heavenly Father)

1. Nobody gets to see or hear me cry...until now. Well, hear... still not see!
2. My cameras is throwing Magnificent balls of light through the heavens on this one. I can't explain!
3. As an editor, me leaving in a few stutters and grammatical errors is almost as hard as me leaving in the tears of vulnerability. But I can't imagine I could do it any better than this free-form stream-of-consciousness first time. I truly believe I felt God's grief at separation from us, His beloved, as I pondered this question ... and I believe it is meant to be experienced by you as well.
4. The Chosen Christmas Special posed the question, "What must the people know?" I start out a bit logical but partway through the Holy Spirit takes over. I believe this is what God wants all of us to know! How MUCH He loves us and longs to closed the distance or separation.
5. Though I was rushing for a December 25th timeline, it turns out this is not even remotely limited to Christmas, or even Easter, or Pentecost. It's about a God who has been in pursuit of us, in love, our entire lives!
6. And possibly the rarest thing of all, other than the video footage that I did take with a pretty wild dash-cam, I've used other people's art, photography and videos. This is rare as I am a photographer and artist myself, but that's what was meant to happen. The images are beyond what I could have provided in their specificity to the message if I'd searched my own bounteous reserves. Also, these are search word enabled much better than mine!
7. I believe God is fully capable of handling our questions and our doubts, and therefore I asked them straight up, and got some answers!
8. This is my gift and the Spirit's gift to you. There's no commercials, no third party, commercial monetization. But that doesn't mean you aren't welcome to also enjoy my poetry books, fashion, or art; or some of the art of the photographic contributors. Take a minute to Like, Subscribe, Explore, and Support. But most importantly, Pray!

Catholic Priests React to "The Chosen"

Two Friars (yes, really!) review the Chosen. Interesting insights... and kinda funny.

They point out how with Jesus things are often "upside down."

Was Jesus a Catholic? OF COURSE NOT! Jesus was PRE-Denominational (my word)!

Listen to this beautiful life testimony of the man who has played the Christ on film  repeatedly. He speaks on the gifts of Humility and Mercy; and shares the stages of his faith:
1. Prayer
2. Expectant Faith
3. Surrender (and Relief/Rest) 

 

In a culture that apparently likes to complain, compare and divide, the newest "controversy" is whether the new multi-season series about Jesus called "The Chosen" is 'too Catholic' or 'not Catholic enough,' or some such silliness. 

 

My guess is that in the spiritual realm, the Big "S" - and father of lies - is mad as heck at this beautiful (hi)story-telling that is reaching millions and breaking barriers left and right. 

 

YET, was Jesus a Catholic? OF COURSE NOT - Jesus was PRE-Denominational (my word)! 

 

The show actually is the gospel - but a lot of extrapolated and created character development and dialog, and some compressing of multiple situations into connected stories (actually histories). Obviously much of the day to day dialogue and interactions between disciples was not written in the Bible, nor a full fleshing out of the disciples personalities, so The Chosen in that sense is not "true" per se. But as long as it does not contradict Scripture, neither is it 'false'. It is amazing, compelling, and sometimes heart-aching, soul-sustaining, storytelling. 

 

 

 

But the actor, Jonathan Roumie, who plays the Messiah in "The Chosen," IS Catholic. He calls himself a born-again Catholic.Roumie grew up Greek Orthodox (in a mixed Irish and Egyptian family), and went to Catholic school, where he joined the Catholic Church through their catechism. (He says herein that the liturgy and sacraments are similar). 

 

The testimony is beautuful, and actually brought tears to my eyes several times. POWERFUL! It is FASCINATING how a childhood passion (literally) and act on Jonathan's part became a prophetic act!

 

You can watch 'The Chosen' each release date on Youtube for 24 hours, then on the VidAngel App thereafter. It is free, with a pass it on donation option and related products as the soul funding source. That means it is the HUGEST EVER crowd funded project in history! Learn more on FB at The Chosen, on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChosenSeries ; get the App 'The Chosen' on Google Play or Apple.

 

Want to read the original story for yourself? Try the Gospel of John as a starting point!

 

There are LOTS of translations, so may I suggest either the King James Version or NIV - both of which I grew up with. Here is an (affiliate) link to a Holy Bible that is most read and worn, pages falling out, in my household.

The Chosen Season 2 trailer (60 sec)

They are going DEEP! Episodes 1-5 already released on Vid Angel App.

True story! of an extra in The Chosen’s Sermon on the Mount scene

This clip speaks to speaking up...doing and saying what Jesus places on your heart.
Trust the reason -- even when you don't (yet) understand it! Sometimes we are afraid of offending or not wanting to disrespect a belief or a culture. But if God places something on your heart, it is His job, not ours, to prepare the soil and the timing. Trust!

 
 

"Now then go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth, and teach you what you are to say.” Exodus 4:12 

As each episode is released, it is on Youtube for only 24 hours. But it is always free in the The Chosen VidAngel App (which you can cast to your tv). The show is crowdfunded. Feel free to just watch and enjoy ... or to donate and pay it forward: for others to watch and/or to fund future episodes and seasons!

It's great if you want to try new products but the price is a little high for "testing". this helps!!
