    'The Chosen' Bible series, discussion

    They have a team of bible scholars that they always consult when writing the scripts, so I'm sure they're going to make sure that he keeps on track. The world is watching and so many people are familiar with the bible, so he knows he's gotta keep things on track. He'll never be able to appeal to...

    'The Chosen' Bible series, discussion

    For real! Some people's expectations are way too high. Thankfully they did an amazing job covering it all in episode 6. Like wow. Such an emotional scene between Mary and Jesus. Absolutely everyone could relate to that moment when they came to Christ. Probably one of my favorite episodes this...

    I don’t get joy from anything

    As someone who has recently recovered from lifelong depression (over 25 years), it is absolutely possible to recover without medication. You just have to learn to stand firm with these "professionals" who will do and say anything to try and get you on them. You don't need them. I tried meds for...

    Afraid have skin cancer/Melanoma

    I would recommend using natural ways to shade yourself from the sun if possible. Cover up, use a hat, stay in the shade, etc. A lot of sunscreens these days actually cause skin cancer. If you need sunblock, make sure it's a mineral sunscreen with no benzene in it. It may be more pricy, but at...

    'The Chosen' Bible series, discussion

    Next episode is coming out on June 23rd :D I'm definitely curious to see what happens with Mary Magdalene. Apparently people are freaking out because they portray Jesus's disciples as imperfect, which I mean, is funny because to assume they were perfect seems unrealistic to me. I'm glad to see...

    'The Chosen' Bible series, discussion

    Yea, it was definitely a good one! Kinda dark at points, but still so powerful and emotional. I think it's interesting to get to see the problems the disciples dealt with because it's a good reminder that even those closest to Jesus still struggled with their sins--something we all can...

    Cable/Satellite TV vs Streaming services

    I've been listening mostly to Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey, Cooper Stuff by John Cooper, Louder with Crowder by Stephen Crowder, Coleman Hughes, Slightly Offensive, and Alisa Childers. The Chosen is so wonderful! I highly recommend you watch it and share it with people you know :D It's a...

    You may be right! It definitely would make sense if they did it that way. I guess we'll wait to see what happens. Hopefully Episode 5 comes out next week like Dallas was hinting at. Definitely looking forward to seeing more about Simon meeting Jesus finally.

    Cable/Satellite TV vs Streaming services

    Yea, I've always been a fan of online streaming and onDemand services. I jumped on Netflix as soon as it came out. I've been having a hard time watching shows anymore because they're just programming and propaganda. I like being able to learn new things, so I've been watching a lot of political...

    What are your opinions on taking antidepressants?

    They say that the stomach/digestive tract is our 3rd brain! If you feed yourself good food too, it helps improve our moods. Fasting helps reset our bodies too and the gut bacteria and flora too, so I can see why they'd come to that conclusion.

    Episode 4 is going to be streaming tonight at 9pm ET. You can watch it on The Chosen app or on YouTube and FB, however they've said they're only keeping them up on the latter 2 for 24 hours. Dallas Jenkins, the creator of the show says that tonight's episode is their "biggest episode ever"...
