## Resource

Behind the scenes of the most successful faith-based media project in history, producers Chris Juen and Chad Gundersen reveal what every faith-driven investor needs to know about entertainment investment. Recording from the actual Sanhedrin set in Midlothian, Texas, John Coleman explores how The Chosen scaled from crowdfunding four episodes with no guarantee of episode five to reaching over 520 million viewers worldwide—and what that journey teaches us about investing in culture.
