Some Christians believe the TV series The Chosen veers too far from the biblical story. Is it leading people astray or closer to Jesus? Dr. J, Perry, and Shawna give their takes on this.

Biblical scholar Dr. Jeremy Grinnell joins the team to answer bible questions. Jeremy earned his PhD in Systematic Theology from Calvin Seminary and taught seminary in West MI for 15 years.

Other great questions in the podcast:

The New Testament seems to suggest that only men can be elders. So Stephanie asks, “How can Bible believing churches justify having women elders?

“And if male and female are equal in Christ, how are we to know our roles in marriage?” Also Sarah shares, “Please explain how Jesus can be God when God refers to Jesus as his Son.”

Chris says, “Please unpack the passage in the Sermon on the Mount about settling matters quickly. What if one party doesn't want to reconcile? And if they don’t want to reconcile, should I keep trying?”

And Lyn shares, “God is love, full of mercy and grace. Yet, the Bible says God gets angry, punishes people, causes people to be ill, and even causes and allows people's hearts to be hard. How do we explain this to unbelievers?”

And “Is God still punishing people and causing people's hearts to be hard? If God is causing hard hearts how can they come to accept Jesus as their Savior?”

We’re glad you asked. 😊
