The Chosen's Amanda Jenkins: Grateful For Success, But Staying Humble

The Chosen is the widely popular television drama about the beginnings of Christianity. It is now in its fourth season, and no one is as surprised at its success than Amanda and Dallas Jenkins, the show's creators. They were skeptical of Angel Studio's crowd-funding business plan and thought they could raise at best $800; They ended up raising $10 million. But the career success has been accompanied by personal sadness with a chronically ill child. However, Amanda says, this has kept life and all its ups and downs in perspective- and that's God's plan. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Amanda Jenkins talks about her book, "God's Goodness For The Chosen", and explains how they learned that God allows success in our lives but that He allows struggles also to help us stay close to Him. For her, the bottom line is that "God is doing a new thing." That He is "drawing people around the world back to Himself." And that The Chosen is all part and parcel of that grand plan.
