Dallas Jenkins: The Vision Behind The Chosen and Faith-Based Storytelling
In an era where faith-based storytelling is often relegated to a niche, Dallas Jenkins has broken down barriers with a new approach that is redefining Christian media. Through his series The Chosen, Jenkins has brought the life of Jesus and the stories of the Bible to a global audience in a way that resonates deeply with viewers from all walks of life. His work has struck a chord with millions, combining high-quality production, relatable characters, and an accessible, immersive storytelling style that engages both long-time believers and those on the edge of faith.
The Chosen: 40 Days with Jesus, a devotional companion to the series, is an extension of Jenkins' mission to provide meaningful, impactful content that encourages spiritual growth. This devotional, presented in an elegant imitation leather binding, is designed as a thoughtful gift for confirmation, holidays, or any moment when individuals seek to deepen their relationship with God. It’s not merely a book—it’s an invitation to step into the footsteps of Jesus, experiencing His teachings and ministry through reflection and meditation.
Jenkins' vision for The Chosen transcends the idea of a simple TV show. From its inception, his aim has been to create a space where audiences could connect with the gospel in a personal way. As the series' creator and director, Jenkins worked tirelessly to ensure that each episode would not only tell a story but would do so in a way that captures the emotional depth and transformative power of the life of Jesus. With The Chosen, he broke free from traditional portrayals of the Bible and invited viewers to see the lives of its characters—especially Jesus—as real, flawed, and deeply human.
In a 2019 interview, Jenkins described the series as "a narrative of grace. Grace for all. I want people to experience a version of the Bible that feels human and relatable but also unmistakably divine." This vision has led to an outpouring of praise from fans and critics alike, as the series has garnered millions of viewers from around the world. What makes The Chosen so unique is Jenkins’ commitment to showing the stories of the Bible through the lens of personal relationship—whether it's the connection between Jesus and His disciples, the people He healed, or the world He changed.
At its core, The Chosen centers on relational authenticity. It doesn’t just depict religious figures, it humanizes them. Jenkins draws viewers into the intimate lives of the characters, showing their internal struggles, personal victories, and interactions with Jesus as a living, breathing man, not just a figurehead of faith. His approach, which focuses on a multi-season story arc, allows for deeper character development and greater emotional investment. By doing so, Jenkins has created a series that goes beyond religious entertainment and becomes an emotional, spiritual experience for its audience.
The Chosen: 40 Days with Jesus deepens this connection by offering daily reflections that help viewers of the series continue their spiritual journey in a meaningful way. Each devotion is centered around a passage from the show, connecting the narrative with scripture. Jenkins uses this opportunity to engage his audience on a more personal level, drawing them into the larger themes of forgiveness, healing, grace, and purpose—concepts that are woven throughout The Chosen. The devotional is a space where the transformative power of the story can be meditated on, applied to daily life, and integrated into a broader spiritual practice.
In the 40 Days with Jesus devotional, Jenkins masterfully encourages readers to take their own spiritual walks seriously. His writing is approachable yet profound, inviting readers to engage with Jesus' life and teachings not just as passive observers but as active participants. This interactive approach is not just about learning the Bible—it’s about experiencing it, living it, and sharing it. It’s a call to action, and for Jenkins, the ultimate goal is for his audience to grow in faith, step into their purpose, and share the love they receive with others.
But Jenkins' work does not stop at just providing content—he is creating a movement. Through the success of The Chosen, Jenkins has proven that there is a hungry audience for faith-based media that doesn’t shy away from complex, emotional storytelling. His work has built a community of believers who, through the power of technology and social media, can share their stories, connect with one another, and experience the series together. This sense of community and connection, facilitated by The Chosen, extends beyond the screen and into the lives of viewers, creating a shared space where faith and relationships can grow in meaningful ways.
As Jenkins continues to expand The Chosen series, his commitment to relational storytelling remains at the forefront. In interviews, he has often remarked that his goal is to “make people feel something—to spark an emotional connection that will change their hearts.” His success in achieving this speaks not only to his skill as a storyteller but to his understanding of how media can foster deeper relationships, both with God and with others. In this sense, The Chosen is more than a show; it’s a catalyst for change, encouraging viewers to step into a deeper, more intentional relationship with the divine.In the Museum of Modern Relationship Intelligence, Dallas Jenkins’ work stands out as an example of how modern storytelling can enhance relational understanding. His series, rooted in the timeless stories of the Bible, is a model for how to create emotional resonance in media that touches on faith, connection, and community. Through The Chosen, Jenkins has demonstrated that storytelling can be a profound tool for developing relational intelligence—both on an individual level and in the broader societal context. His work is proof that when we tell stories that humanize our faith, we invite others to grow deeper in their relationships—with each other and with the divine.
