The Chosen: Sustenance (2023)
A Masterclass in Story Telling
Season 3 comes to a thrilling conclusion. Dallas Jenkins has done it again. Bringing everything that has come before it to satisfying, yet heartbreaking end (for now). Even though we don't know for sure what was on Simon Peter's heart at the time of the miracles of the feeding of the thousands and walking on water the weight of the world was on him throughout the episode. When Jesus comforts him after he sinks into the water I lost it. So emotional. Jonathan Roumie, Shahar Isaac, Lara Silva, Shaan Sharma are all standouts this episode. Schmuel in particular is a fascinating character. How far he has come, it was quite unexpected when even he started to doubt himself, and then when Jesus comes into to view, he is at a standstill. Everything before this moment he thought had to be true. When the one Pharisee spit on a person who had just shared to him what had just had happened he was taken aback. He thought this Jesus of Nazareth can't be the Son of God, but after these interactions he starts to question everything he has believed in. Jesus has a short conversation with him and we as an audience we assume he will (or we hope at some point) start defending the Man he was so strongly against when the show began. I'm so excited for what comes next. Thank you to all who have contributed to this Biblically inspired masterpiece.

Nazareth
Spine tingling. Blows my mind that so many people that Jesus grew up around rejected Him when He proclaimed to be the coming of the Messiah. This episode beautifully shows how heartbroken He must have been. I also like that they had Lazarus in this episode. There is a ton of foreshadowing in this episode as well. Jonathan Roumie continues to be the best Jesus ever put on screen. Dallas Jenkins and his crew also continue to show all of us how impactful the Bible still is (and always should) to those who will listen. God is doing an amazing work through the cast and crew and I look forward to what comes next!
Rising Free (2019)
Cringeworthy
As a Christian I've seen tons of Christian movies. This is one of the worst. The story's concept seems like it should have been a lot different. The story is executed poorly. The acting is cringeworthy. For some reason they are all taking as if its source-material is like a Shakespearean play. I was hoping for the best, but the movie just fell flat in almost every way possible. One of the only bright spots is probably the lead actress. She executes her lines well with awful dialogue that is written for her.
