And then it was in probably the summer of 2018 where he called me and said, hey, want to put the sails back on? I think we're going to do this. Four episodes of a crowdfunded TV show, probably not going to go anywhere, but it'd be some consistent work. And I jumped at the chance. I thought, okay, I had now played Jesus for him a few times. I was getting really comfortable with the role.

I was also pulled in during that time between like 2016 and 2017. In 2019, I started doing these passion plays, being involved in these passion plays that a friend of mine was directing. And then I helped co-direct and then I co-wrote a version of the passion that we would put on for our church.

And so for whatever reason, like God was putting me in these situations, in these stories about Jesus so often in such a short, I mean, a relatively short period of time. In a few years, I'd played Jesus like five, six, seven times. And I started to think like, well, there must be something to this. Like, I don't know what it is yet.

And the folks at The Chosen said, we want to do something to kind of ease people's burdens and give the show away for free. And it exploded after that, like beyond anyone's imagination.
