Bringing Bible characters to life

Recently, I had a conversation with a friend who abruptly asked me whether I had watched a series called The Chosen.

“No, I haven’t.”

“You should watch it. I think you will like it.”

I really don’t enjoy watching TV because I am trying to create things rather than consume all the entertainment that surrounds us….because we have all read these productivity articles and books.

Anyway, I check out the trailer on YouTube. I remember seeing the John 3:16 trailer, and I immediately like it. And as I am watching it, I read through the comments, and I see positive comments.

That’s when I looked for it, and I started watching it.

Oh my! I was in for a surprise.

Binging the Bible the entire day

The first thing I did was to check out the time of the first episode. 54 minutes. Well, I could handle that. These days, I naturally calculate how many articles I could write in that time rather than consume someone’s creations.

Anyway, I started watching that episode. That episode focuses on a woman and a tax collector, but mostly the woman. And some other guy. Okay, a bunch of people.
