Hi friend,
If you are anything like me, you love a good evening winding down on the couch with a cozy blanket and a great TV show. But let’s be honest—finding high-quality, uplifting entertainment that actually aligns with our faith can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Mainstream streaming services often lack biblically sound options, leaving us scrolling endlessly, wishing there was something meaningful to watch that didn’t compromise our values.
What if I told you there is a beautifully produced, gripping historical drama about the life of Jesus that you can start watching tonight—and it won’t cost you a single cent?
Enter “The Chosen.”
If you haven’t yet experienced this incredible series, you are in for an absolute treat.
Why We Love “The Chosen”
”The Chosen” is a multi-season historical drama that brings the Gospels to life in a way we’ve never seen on screen before.
Instead of a stiff, distant portrayal, the series dives deeply into the backstories of the disciples—showing them as real, flawed, relatable people with everyday struggles. But the most beautiful part of the show is its portrayal of Jesus. He is shown with such warmth, humor, and deep compassion.
While it’s important to remember that the show is a historical drama and not a replacement for Scripture, it does a phenomenal job of pointing you right back to your Bible with fresh eyes and a renewed love for the Savior.
The Best Kept Secret: It’s Completely Free!
Here is the best part: you do not need Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime to watch it.
“The Chosen” is 100% free to stream.
There are no monthly subscription fees, no paywalls, and no hidden charges. How is that possible? The show is entirely crowd-funded by fans who have been so impacted by the series that they choose to “pay it forward” so that others around the world can watch it for free. It is a beautiful gift from believers to the world.

Helpful Tip: While it is free to watch, creating a free account is highly recommended! It allows the app to remember where you left off so you never lose your place.
Want to Dive Deeper? (A Great Gift Idea!)
While streaming the show is completely free, many of us fall so deeply in love with the series that we want to connect it directly to our morning quiet time.
If you want to dive deeper into the Scriptures that inspired the show, I highly recommend picking up The Chosen: 40 Days with Jesus Official Devotional. It is a beautiful companion guide that ties the themes of the episodes straight into your daily Bible reading.
It is such a wonderful addition to your morning routine, and it also makes the absolute sweetest gift if you are planning to watch the series with a friend or a small group!
The Chosen: 40 Days with Jesus Official Devotional
Top PickEncounter Jesus the way His followers did. In The Chosen: 40 Days with Jesus, explore the moving backstories of Simon Peter, Nicodemus, Mary Magdalene, Matthew, and other recipients of Jesus’ miracles. You can’t help but identify with their recklessness, rough pasts, religious piety, desperation for life change, and, ultimately, their redemption.
