The Chosen, a TV series available on several streaming platforms, powerfully portrays the story of Jesus and his disciples. Now in its fourth season, the show has been a huge sensation. In fact, the scope of this epic series and the grassroots support that it has garnered is unlike anything else. It’s now one of the most watched shows in the world, has been streamed by over 172 million people, and is the most translated TV show in history with 50 languages available. The chances are high that members of your church and community are big fans.
The series also presents your church with a unique opportunity to reach your unchurched neighbors by screening episodes for free. Additionally, you can encourage people to dig into the biblical stories behind what’s shown on screen through a free sermon series and downloadable discussion guides for small groups. There are even collaborations with The Bible App by YouVersion and The Bible Project to guide deeper engagement.
Outreach Inc., Outreach magazine’s parent company, is excited to partner with the Come & See Foundation to help spread the word about all the resources available related to The Chosen, including invitation tools and banners promoting a sermon series or screening events. Viewing events at churches provide a huge opportunity to share the story of Jesus with nonbelievers, especially at Christmas and Easter.

As future seasons of The Chosen proceed through the Gospels into Holy Week and Jesus’ death and resurrection, we plan to continue bringing you and your church even more opportunities to attract visitors and to dive deeper into the hope of the gospel.
