A Candid Conversation with Dallas Jenkins, Director of The Chosen
This interview is a little different.
In this video, I interview Dallas Jenkins. Dallas is the director of The Chosen, a very popular Christian tv series that continues to grow with incredible momentum. With momentum and popularity comes controversy, and The Chosen has been no exception. In this video, Dallas and I discuss some of that controversy. We discuss his convictions, beliefs, and talk about some tough stuff too, in particular the controversy he’s gotten for his association with the LDS. And yes, we spoke many times about this through email before the interview so he wasn’t blindsided. This was a very mutual conversation. Much of the controversy comes from him sharing publicly that he believes that LDS and Christians believe in the ’same Jesus,’ which is a salvific issue. If anyone has talked with a senior LDS or your friendly local Missionaries that knows what the LDS Church teaches and the doctrine then you’ll know why this is so problematic.
For as long as this interview was, we did still discuss some of this ’tough stuff’ off air as well. I’m positive there will be controversy from LDS and Christians over this, one side saying I ’misrepresent’ LDS beliefs (check out the receipts below please, and if you disagree with what the LDS Church teaches... um... that’s not a bad thing lol) and the other side upset that I’m simply even interviewing Dallas, or that I didn’t harshly rebuke him or something. Just know that this video easily could have gone three times as long and I hope it lays a good foundation for this situation.
Do I agree with some of Dallas’s conclusions? No.
Do I lovingly challenge him on this? Yes.
Does he welcome and want these challenges? Yes.
Do I agree with other conclusions? Yes.
Do I lovingly agree with him on these things? Yes.
This conversation hopefully will help everyone know where Dallas stands with these issues that we talked about. Please pray for Dallas and for everyone on the set of The Chosen.
