The Chosen has become one of the most influential Christian media projects in history, reaching nearly a billion viewers worldwide and bringing the stories of Jesus and his disciples to life for a new generation. But why has it resonated so deeply with so many people? Is it simply great storytelling, or is something more profound happening beneath the surface? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with psychologist and Biola University professor Dr. Liz Hall, contributor to Watching The Chosen: History, Faith, and Interpretation . Together, they explore the psychological and spiritual impact of The Chosen , why viewers often feel such a strong emotional connection to its characters, and how the series may help people experience a deeper sense of intimacy with God. Dr. Hall explains how The Chosen can shape the way viewers understand Jesus, faith, and themselves. At the same time, she addresses important questions about the potential risks of emotional engagement, the role of theology, and how Christians can benefit from the series while remaining grounded in the truth of Scripture. Whether you're a devoted fan of The Chosen , a skeptic, or simply curious about the intersection of psychology and faith, this conversation offers a fascinating look at how stories can shape the human heart and point us toward Christ.
