Success, Surrender & the Power of Storytelling [Featuring Dallas Jenkins]

When faith, culture, and media intersect, it can create powerful stories that move people’s hearts. On this podcast, Pastor Allen talks with Dallas Jenkins (the creator, director, and co-writer of The Chosen) about his new movie, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Inspired by the classic book, Jenkins was moved to create the film while reading the story to his children. "The lesson [the children in the story] learn is that the gifts to the baby Jesus were not necessarily about what the baby Jesus needed. It was about them giving up something they had, something they loved, something they wanted, something of significance,” he explained to Pastor Allen. Jenkins discusses the challenges he faced in bringing this project to life. From moments of doubt to divine encouragement, he emphasizes the power of prayer and the importance of perseverance in the creative process. He also talks about how those lessons can be applied to our everyday lives. This encouraging podcast will help you lead with your faith and share the love of our Savior in your community this Christmas season.More Information:The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Trailer: https://youtu.be/6YlZgG4Vgpw?si=q59Hv4tLudXpWFi8__It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.
