The Chosen - a unique way of telling the same story / Happenings In The Outhouse 09-April-2021

Long ago, I said if you gave a writing prompt to the top 20 bestselling authors in the world, you'd have 20 different stories.

Well, let me ask you this: how many dramatic/theatrical versions of Jesus Christ have you seen?  Probably many, and some are favorites.  I recall one as a kid that used to play on TV quite often, usually around Easter, that fascinated me.

That being said, how many different ways are there to tell the life of Jesus?  Too many to count, would be my guess.  Well, The Chosen is a quite unique telling of the life of Jesus, mainly from the perspective of those around Him.

Season 1 (I believe there are either 7 or 8 planned seasons, all crowdfunded) is out on DVD, but you can watch the entire first season for free online, through their app.

Episode 1 of Season 2 is out now--it was released Easter Sunday--and I highly recommend it.  Even from a storytelling perspective, it's a unique way of telling a story many of us have already heard.
