About this Episode

Most fans of The Chosen know the miracles on screen—Jesus walking on water, healing the blind, feeding the five thousand. But there’s another miracle most people don’t know: how Dallas Jenkins found a Jerusalem set in Utah.

This is the behind-the-scenes story of how a prayer offered in 2011, the challenges of COVID-19, and a series of impossible events led to the filming of The Chosen at the Goshen set owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

It’s a story of faith, answered prayer, and interfaith collaboration—showing how God brings people together to make Jesus known.
