For many believers, “The Chosen” has revolutionized the way they engage with Scripture. Biblical scholar and author Brandon Robbins shared with Charisma Media how the series transformed his perspective, taking the disciples off their unreachable pedestals and revealing them as real, flawed people—just like us.
“We begin to get this different picture of who the disciples were and what their story is,” Robbins says. “It changes the way that we read the Bible.”
Too often, we imagine the disciples as spiritual giants who had it all figured out. However, “The Chosen” reminds us that Jesus called ordinary, broken individuals—tax collectors, zealots and outcasts—showing that God’s grace is greater than our past. This fresh lens has ignited a global hunger for Scripture, drawing people deeper into the Word.
