Creating "The Chosen" with Dallas Jenkins

Dallas Jenkins had a vision and a dream: to make a prestige TV show based on the Gospels, telling the story of Jesus through the eyes of those were closest to Him, and were chosen to follow Him first. That vision became The Chosen, a smash hit with 5 seasons (and more to come). This week, Katie sat down with Dallas at ChosenCon, a gathering of fans of the show, to talk about the wider impact he's seen "The Chosen" has had on the culture, faith, and even those who are just vaguely curious about Christianity.
