My comment disappeared so I reposted but thank you for taking time to send condolences for Madeline Hope. God countinue to bless, holy spirit continue guide Dallas and the team for this ministry in Jesus name
I can identify with Evan, I have recieved healing, through Christ I know one day when I am called home my lost child will be there waiting for our reunion, this is my hope and comfort.
I can’t put into words what this episode did for me. I have suffered from 9 miscarriages. There isn’t enough public awareness of miscarriage. There are so many of us that don’t have the support to get through this difficult journey. I pray that one day that will change.Thank you for including this sensitive subject to the story. God Bless
Such a powerful and well-written/performed season. Next week will be 5 years since my husband died from cancer. We had a miscarriage back in 1986 and watching the scene with Eden made me suddenly realize that my husband has now met that baby! Thank you for your authenticity in showing God's love and grace in the midst of real pain.
This storyline rocked me. I had a late miscarriage 27 years ago and when I watched Eden go through this, I actually truly grieved my Grace in a way I never had. I was not expecting that reaction at all. But we know God gives us what we need and this happens over and over again watching this series. God bless all of you!
Dawn, I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear child. I hope this doesn't come off as insensitive, but I'm glad you were able to grieve more deeply. I once heard that our sadness shows us how much we value/d whatever/whomever we lost. Your tears speak truth, which will set you more free to be loved and to love. I hope you don't mind me saying: God's peace comfort you. 🙏❤️💔✝️
Thank you. I needed this today. I have had 2 miscarriages and have lost 2 children. 2 years ago my husband had a traumatic brain injury and survived but is much different. We still have to special needs children at home and many times I feel so alone. This continues to remind me I am not and it is only through Jesus and God’s love that I am making it. ❤
*"How do you go out and heal people while you're still hurting inside??"* Great question. I too, lost my very last baby. Feeling grief, regret, envy, shame, anger, frustration and feeling abandoned by God all while trying to still trust God and be a mom to my earthly children and be a wife. It's been many years since my loss and I still struggle. It takes a decision to draw near to God.
I love Lara’s heart in explaining this storyline- you can tell she is so intentional and kind. I would have loved to have heard Shahar’s perspective! He acted it all out so beautifully and authentically.
This… I don’t have any words. I had a miscarriage a month ago and this hits so close to home. It was absolute whiplash and I never felt more distant from God than when I was going through this. Simon’s anger is so accurately captured and perfectly reflected my everything my husband felt. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this incredible reminder to let go of anger, let go of fear, and cling to our Savior.
This is the best interview/explanation of the episode. The storyline throughout season 3 isn't just about Simon and Eden, it is about our doubt, our self absorption, our beliefs. The way everyone explained, in depth,the meaning of the scenes is so absolutely wonderful. This should open all our eyes and hearts to the fact we are not exempt from trials and tribulations here on earth. "Bones will still break, hearts will still break" but we must not lose sight that God is going to get us thru whatever we come up against. His amazing love for us can pull us out from the drowning we all experience from time to time, we only have to reach out for Him. Thank you cast and crew for this amazing interview, and explanation of what some people did not get out of the storyline. You all have been blessed by God and it really shows. Love you all for your work, humility, love of your 'job' (even though you don't portray it as a job) and for giving us a closer relationship with God and Jesus. 🙏🕊💜
I know that GOD is who and what we need to depend on. I know that! But, for how long? My father is 98yrs old and I know that he still is suffering in a way. His daughter, my sister was murdered, what's worse is the punk A$$ got away with it. And he's had to live with for more than half of his life.We were just talking about it last night. I don't believe God caused it, but why didn't he prevent? I have a hard time with scene of Simon hearing that God/Jesus allows suffering and pain to prove the genuinuss of our faith. Can't God pick a different way to strengthen us
@@marygibbon6989 OH Mary, I know what you are feeling. I am so sorry for your loss and what you're going thru now with your father. It's very hard for all of us to have to suffer and see our loved ones suffer. I was struggling myself very recently with my mom dying from mouth cancer and wondering why she had to suffer so horrifically. Why wouldn't God cure her or take her so she was out of pain and suffering. I didn't know how He wasn't hearing my daily cries for help, even though I knew He did hear me. But it was in His time and plan, not mine. Sometimes we forget that's it's not in our hands or what WE want. My cousin said something that gave me some needed comfort. She said my mom was suffering so bad here on earth so she could go right to heaven when she passed away. That gives me comfort knowing that my mom isn't suffering anymore, she's her beautiful self again, and she's in God's arms. I do now understand why God allows suffering because as much as I suffered along with my mom, He was the only one I could always turn to cry to and to beg Him to take her. In His time He did, but he gave me as much more precious time with my mom that He could or that I deserved. I cherish those hard times now and the many many lessons in patience and love He taught me along the way. I hope you find peace and don't turn away from God and Jesus in any way as life is in Their hands not ours. We might not get the answers we want but in the long run the answers we get are what's right for us. I hope you can get some peace, forgiveness helps and know you have a Father that sees you, loves you and will NEVER turn His back on you. May you be blessed to help you thru your struggles 🙏
@@michellepriore5610 Thank You So Much. Your words and compassion I could feel as I read it. God Blessed you with the gift of comforting, people so lovingly. 💕🙏 . Thank you again 😔
It was amazing how it touched the heart of men who have gone through this loss as well. My wife went through this a few times and the pain was real. Such an amazing episode.
I was feeling upset with my current relationship and while i was rewatching The Chosen couldn't help but cry realizing how much Simon and Eden's situation had its ups and downs and that the only way to fix a relationship is by faith and trust in Jesus so I decided that I will leave it to the Lord let His will be done and not mine 🙏
Its the raw humanity that is interwoven into every episode of The Chosen that makes it resonate so profoundly with audiences. The series does this far better than any other televised or cinematic depiction of Biblical characters. Kudos to Dallas Jenkins, cast and crew for making Biblical history so relatable and believable. Even an atheist could watch this, maintain his skepticism of the divine elements involved, and still glean wisdom and inspiration from the portrayal of the Gospels. God bless everyone behind this production.
This was a very moving episode for me because I suffered from hormonal imbalance that made me bleed for days on end, and also suffered two miscarriages. Having identified for so long with the woman with the hemorrhage (Veronica), and the pain of the loss of two babies made this a hard episode to watch. But it was very healing, even after all these 20+ years. God is faithful. I appreciate The Chosen for having the courage to show these realities.
I've had multiple miscarriages, this topic hit the core of exactly how you feel with grief. It's a mourning of death without the typical burial. I know someday I will get to meet my 3 babies, who are now in the arms and care of our Lord. 💖🕊💖
I recently was told by my parents that we're moving to New Brunswick. But what this means to me personally is that I'm moving away from the best friends I've ever had in my life and the best church and youth group I've ever had in my life, here in Ontario. Today at church I told my friends, and I just barely was able to hold myself together. Then at home all the emotion came out and I cried in an uncontrollable rage for hours. While on a walk outside, I was remembering the story of Simon and Eden in The Chosen, and how that was such a good, bold and necessary choice to make for the show in order to show the pain and the confusion that real people go through, and how no matter WHAT happens - God is always, always the answer and will always comfort you and help you and be the friend you need when all your friends are far away... I don't understand why my life has changed this way, but I don't think it was a coincidence that after thinking about this story line of "why do bad things happen to good people", the very first notification to pop up on my phone when I came back from my walk was this video. Please pray for me to have peace and understand that there's a reason I'm supposed to go!! 🙃
It may be for a season. For God to show you something, for you to grow, to prepare for what He has for you. Maybe after that, you'll go back. Prayers for guidance for you and peace to trust the process!
May the Lord grant you wisdom and a measure of faith to move forward to where He knows you need to be. The family of God is everywhere and sometimes we have to trust the Lord, follow Him, and move from our Ur to our Promised Land. 🙏🏼
I was in a similar situation. I prayed for friends in church and God responded, now I have two. Different ages ans different backgrounds but it’s a true friendship. The church I am in is not perfect but neither was my previous church. That is the body of Christ, imperfect people working for a perfect God. Keep that in mind and God bless you
I love they made the reality be sensivle to all. I guess that is why we need Jesus all the more. Because without Him, we may be physically fine, but spiritually broken and hurting from all the storms in this life.
I went through exactly that and my marriage died after our miscarriage. I had a hysterectomy at 28 but God put me into Children’s Ministry and for years blessed me with hundreds of kids. I counted it an honor to be allowed to teach open hearts about Gods love and compassion for our aching hearts. I can testify that EVERYTHING the enemy means for harm God will without fail turn it into a blessing and a opportunity to grow in the knowledge of Him.
I’m so sorry for your losses. My husband and I have been trying and praying for years for a child of our own. But I work in kids ministry too and it is a healing balm to get to disciple young hearts. I love them fiercely!
The way this series expresses God's love is awe-inspiring. It helps us in the 21st century see Jesus' human side that the 1st century saw. Thank you, Dallas, for creating this series and bringing Jesus to so many who are lost.
It's a powerful scene. My daughter had a miscarriage and she was bleeding so much. It's even more powerful to see the actors in this interview and how touched they were as well. I cried so much, also because after raising my grandson for 3 years in my house my daughter moved away to the other side of the U.S.A. and I can't hold him, play with him, or have endless talks as we use to. I felt my heart bleeding. Still today, 4 mins after I'm still crying in pain. So this scene brought healing to me. God allows trials for a reason and that He is always there. Gbu all
I was not expecting that miscarriage at all. I have no words to express how touching this episode was. May the Lord bless everyone who has made this series posible
This episode helped me heal my relationship with God because my husband died a year and a half ago from covid and I felt like Simon .... why didnt God hear my prayers? Why did he allow him to die? I cried so much through this episode. Thank you for touching this subject. It isnt just about losing a baby... its so much more.
Thank you again to Dallas and The Chosen team for including this as part of the story. So many of us have suffered this loss and never get any answers. The answer for many is that we suffer and are so lowly so that God can come be with us in the valleys to prove He loves us. It is our faith in Him, that reinforces trust that we are not alone in the bad times.
I needed to hear this today and I am suffering, I have doubts, I am afraid. But I am so in love with Jesus! I KNOW He is here and can do whatever He wants, I just can't control or process emotions and events at all. I thought He was healing me, this situation is showing me He hasn't, but I have to believe He will.
Me too. I totally understand that, those feelings and thoughts and emotions. I feel like I'm not alone at this moment. I hope the same thing for you 😔🙂🙏
That scene that Simon n Eden were in their own way experiencing was soo realistic. They had much love n compassion for each other that they met one another on the other side with a beautiful embrace. Loved it! 🙏❤
My husband and I have been struggling with infertility for three years now and have been given some severe diagnoses as to why natural conception has been hard. I can’t tell you how much this episode of Eden’s miscarriage meant to us. We feel so seen and more importantly , we feel so seen through the eyes of Jesus and His ultimate love for us. It has been so hard to see God come through for so many couples and we are still waiting for our healing and miracle.
This meant so much for me. I just lost my husband and both of us have been very strong in our faith. I just knew he was going to be healed here. I thought if I was just faithful enough but God took him. I have had so much anger at God bc I can't understand why He took him. I'm working through it. Grief is hard but oh my gosh this video helped so much.
Thank you for sharing that with us. It helps me to understand and that it helps quiet the anger in my heart that comes and goes. Also, quiets down the voices in my head. God Bless You 🙏✌️❤️🩹🙂
We all say, "Why God?" so often in this life. Thank you for showing REAL thoughts & emotions...that we all suffer trials, even in the midst of The Lord.
This scene reminded us, that just because we know Jesus and have been saved and have His holy Spirit living within us, we still live in a very broken world and are effected by the brokenness. We sometimes see our loved ones not healed here, we still have children who walk away from our families and choose bad things, we still have broken homes, and we still sometimes miscarry and loose a baby, and sometimes question why. In time we realize that God does have a purpose and a plan, and we too have to put our hands in His, and trust! But it is hard. I really appreciate the series using the opportunity to remind us, that just as the disciples were chosen, they too had to trust Him with all their hearts and lean not onto their own understanding. He is faithful. Always!❤️✝️🙌
Your message 😢...Thank you! It's hard to meet believers who are real & life is always going the right way because they pretend to follow GOD & my suffering is because I may not be HIS child. That blessings only follow children of GOD & not pain & hardship.
I cried a lot seeing Peter crying and questioning Jesús why if we serve our miracles are delay... One thing I've learned, is that God is soverein and his will is his will. We just need to focus on him, serve, trust and wait on him.
I'm so grateful to be alive to witness this work. We love you all and appreciate the talent and spirit every one of you bring to the show. You're helping to make the Gospel accessible to so many who could not relate to simple reading and study. To them it wasn't real. The merger of real life struggles - the human condition - with the likely experience of 1st generation of Christians and teaching of God's word... was genius. And I'm sure spirit led.
As someone who has walked through 4 miscarriages this storyline was so incredibly emotional. I appreciate the way you guys portraid this. I could feel Eden's pain.
The one thing that as a couple that has lost multiple babies we think they hit on that even many people miss is that it is a loss to the husband/ father to be as well as the woman. The woman is often recognized if people know she was expecting and she had this happen. Simon being upset and them even being a bit torn apart due to each other's grief was so spot on to what even we went through, even for those who trust in God. Thank you to Dallas and all at the Chosen for this.
The extraordinary gratitude I have to the creation of this show runs so deep. What a gift to use ones craft to honor God, draw others to Christ and with excellence gives me so much hope. It is a light in such challenging times. God bless this whole team and thank you. 🙏
It was hard to watch this part of the series. I had two miscarriages and I could totally feel how Eden felt. So well done thank you for going there Chosen. It was good to see the healing process. Looking forward to season 4.
This entire show feels like Jesus reaching down to us the way He did when Peter was sinking. Over and over again. Through every story. Never have I witnessed or experienced anything like this. And so exploring difficult stories like Eden's miscarriage shows just how deep God will go for His people. There is no length or depth. Thank God for everyone involved with this amazing show.
My miscarriage saved my relationship with God. It brought me to my knees and drew me closer and saved me again. I will forever grieve the child I lost, but will forever be grateful for this new relationship I have with Christ. Watching this storyline, renewed my understanding that God loves us and we MUST have faith!
This isn't easy to type. My husband is always with me but the only 2 days he wasn't were the hardest in my life and I had to lean on Jesus even when it felt he was missing. When I got the diagnosis in our pregnancy and when my daughter after 19 days of miracles passed away. People keep asking "how we are doing" how you're feeling" ...at many times me and my husband can't really explain or express especially from a believers perspective. Can you be angry at Jesus? God? But need him, love him at the same time? Praise Jesus in the storm of agnoy? My husband and I is living this as we speak. The last few episodes especially the last is 1000% depicted what my husband and I are living and this gave so much comfort and a voice to the pain. I can't thank Chosen, Dallas, everyone in this ministry enough for being part of our healing. God bless this ministry becasue it's more than a show it's God speaking through the screen. In loving memory of Madeline Hope Camacho 1/18/23
I don't have the words to say how remarkable this is--the story, the writing, the actors!!! It's so touching, so human, and so loving in every way. One of the things that strikes me is that Jesus is always there for those who seek Him. We see that time after time 💙 What an amazing story of Jesus and who He is. This will reach so many who are lost and seeking.
Its a really strong thing: that season 3 is somehow about the "why doesn't he heal me" question... and this is really a hard lesson for someone who is already a believing person like Simon, Eden and little James... Sometimes in our life, Jesus strengthens our belief not by letting us see wonders ("milk") but by letting us struggle together with him and by learning us to give him our full trust even in those bad times ("bread" and "meat"... you have to chew it). Because his goal is not just letting us have an 'easy life', but that we should learn to love in the dimension of the cross - the problems, that already are in our lives - that we shall be healed later, and growing in faith first... It's not that he's doing bad things to us, NO! - these 'bad' things - that he only allows to happen to us - are good for us, because he will turn them into real good things... His final goal is that we will have the ability to love like he does: to "love your enemy!" Praise be to HIM!
Thank you for tackling all the complexities of the pain, struggle, confusion and longing to understand and make sense of the pain! Well done. We are so deeply loved by JESUS NO MATTER what he does or does not do for us. Blessed be the name of the LORD who GIVES AND TAKES AWAY. So appreciate the actress who played EDEN. She is AMAZING! So blessed by her!
Well, there goes my makeup. 😭 Such a beautiful show. I love the insights and care that the actors shared, and the faith gained. You’re all doing such an important work in these troubled times!
This was a painful episode and interview. It has been 15 years of 'recovery' for my wife and I. I promise you that we still struggle with the reality of loosing at least 4 children to miscarriage. We did not know it could happen to us and we did not know how to support each when it happened. The first time I cried as I sat at a red light behind her car on the way home. We were not even in the same car after the doctors appointment!!! There is so much going through my mind about this, so I will stop here. Thank you for taking this on. I hope it helps others during their struggles.
God bless you all cast and crews of the chosen, there is light at the end of the tunnel. With love and support of loved ones, we can always get through with our loss, though the scene get me down memory lane and I got so emotional 🙏☺️
I had an ectopic pregnancy and was left behind by the person I love and trust, my husband, then, 26 years ago. I know how it felt, alone, and left behind. Thank God, I ran to Him and embraced His hand. I can related Simon Peter's feeling at the time, why God let it happen.... He can do something, but things happen because He is teaching us something else. How painful the experience in life is, we are not alone, and He is there for us and with us. It's all a part of our life journey to make us better and stronger and surrender to His plans. Thank you for the opportunity to have you, even for a few moments, baby. I know that one day, I will see you in Heaven.
My heart goes out to you. You are a very strong person and woman. My mind and heart was torn apart baving suffered a loss too, 7 years ago and again, just months ago. It's heart breaking and devastating and it makes you question the meaning of it all as you continue to let that run over and over in your head. But yet you can't not think, when it has actually happened and the pain is just so unbearable. When you never have anything and in the end, still not have anything and no one. You are all alone, rejected too by the world. Going through various kinds of pain and challenges that really pushes your mind, heart and soul to its limits, as a human. Its really easy to break some point and I think I have but, God came in and picked up all the pieces and said to me "my son, I know. I hear you, and I see you, your pain, all that you are going through, and how much and how bad you feel and it is. But you are not alone. And I will never walk away from you. You can mess up, but I will be here. I will always be here and to help you up and along. To keep you going. Just when you think it's all lost, or you see nothing and have nothing, losing it and there's no hope, to keep on going, i would challenge once more, to take a leap of faith with and into me, and I will show you, there is still hope. Even at this point. Even if the whole world is against you or drops you, I am here for you. Come unto my arms, and let me carry you and your pain now. You have tried to shouldered it all alone and figure your own way out time and again and have also, failed time and again. But that's okay. I want you give it to me now. Your burdens, your pain, your guilt, your shame, your anger, your resentment, your heart. All of it. Let me bear it for you. As I already have, bear your sins on the cross, 2000 years ago, and set/made you free. Today, I will do it again, carry all your mistakes and pain, and you. If you would just let go and let me. Even a little mustard seed of faith from you is good enough for me. And I will show you, that its not the end, and more for you. For I have great plans for you and there's lessons I need you to learn to hone you, towards what I called you to do and so, you may not see it now, your circumstances may be very unlikely and the future so uncertain, however in me, your hope is secured. Know me and my love for you, for if I would give my life for you, what else more would I not. And I have got the best for you. There are things you don't know and don't see that i do, and I am protecting you. Now, listen to me, and listen well. Hold steadfast in your faith, as you find yourself growing weary, continue to stand firm and keep on going, when you can't, not on your own, come to me, and I will help you, in due season, you shall reap. Trust me and my timing for you. All the good i have and yet to show you. Don't give up. I am here for you. And I am for you, you have nothing to fear and no one against you will prevail. But I have got plans for you, plans not to harm you or to do evil unto you, plans to prosper you, to give give hope and a future. Look nowhere else now and focus on me. You have tried again and again, on your own. This time try it with me. Or better, be still and know that I am God. You only need to try your part with me and leave the rest all to me. I will help you, son. For I am, your father. And I love you. Yes, I do. When you are ready, you will see, not by just by sight but also by faith. As you are ready, I will command you, having came out better, to go feed my sheep, the rest of them all. Waiting for me and my touch of salvation. "
I remember having to go through an operation when I believed for supernatural healing. It takes another level of faith to stand and continue looking at the Lord our Healer. Thank you The Chosen for speaking our hearts.
I'm happy seeing Veronica's actress here! Her story moved me so much. Seeing how sad it was that her family abandoned her over her illness makes me want her to be friends with Eden, Mary, and Tamar (and eventually Ramah and Mother Mary) I love the way that the Chosen gives emphasis to the female disciples. I love when Tamar and Mary were nice to her at the lake.
Between the storyline of Eden and Simon and the stories shared in the comments here, I am in tears. tbh, seeing the scenes pared down and connected in this video makes it all a razor to my heart. Brutal in its beauty.
To show some of the most important Saints of Christendom as people next door, struggling with some of the most basic fears of human beings, thats a strength of that show.
As I watched this, I cried silent tears. The rest of me was numb as I have experienced five miscarriages in my life. The hardest was my last. My ex-husband just walked away when I told him what I was going through. My bridegroom that was with me was Jesus. But it was difficult to see at the time. Jacqueline
amazing story line and both actors played it beautifully. I have never been blessed with children but I felt the pain she went through and his as well...
This is why I love the chosen. It makes everything so real. The disciples were human and had problems of their own too. To show that it really means something and adds something to the story. It's easy for everyone to say "That's Jesus, I would follow him " but , trials and tribulations come along with that.. At the same time, When he was around.. He was a big change. And not everyone was prepared to follow that change. Is he the messiah? Is he a zealot? Is he against Jews? Is he planning to overthrow Rome? Do I have to fight and die for him? So many questions would have been in the minds then, Which means a very strong faith was needed to follow him. What is shown with Simon here is quite amazing, As it's one of the many challenges being a disciple. Seeing miracles left and right, And yet not being a part of that. I suppose all of the disciples don't wish to be selfish, but when faced with such a horrendous and challenge.. They do then ask: Why haven't I been cured? Why hasn't a miracle been performed for me?
So relatable now. This what Simon is going through is how I feel now. So many bad things, injustice, lost my child, I'm so scared im gonna end up hateful and in despair😩
Talk about hitting me where I hurt.. I just lost my grandgirl..hit by a drunk driver the day before her 22nd birthday..she passed the day after her birthday..left a 4yr old,, motherless.. I do KNOW & TRUST GOD..but the gut punch was brutal.. God said I don't understand because I have no relationship with death..I was never a child of the dark, never will be.. I'll wait on Him..there's nothing hidden, that will not be revealed..struggling to stand..waiting for His Hand..
I had 4 miscarriages after each birth i was crying in the hospital but god gave me my 4 children of my own Angie,Leia,ella,Grace are in heaven in total i also have a rainbow baby Jessie so thanks be to God
It's SO SAD that miscarriage is so common. The pain is almost unspeakable and I'm grateful for the chance to talk about it even more and connect with those who can relate. Even in this we thank God; we are not alone. Glory to Jesus.
AMEN AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! You can hear it in their voices that they are holding back tears voices crack. I am so grateful to you all for what you are doing!
Thank you for this beautiful clip. I saw this amazing episode, and kept thinking how Psalm 22 was the best expression of Simon and Eden's pain and faith. "I will remember the years of the right hand of the Lord.." The right hand was a symbol of God's help, care and provision.
The first time Simon, under water reached, for Jesus’ hand, I literally reached out my hand as if grasping Jesus’ hand myself. And every time I see it (3 or 4 times so far) I have the same urge. It reminds me how much I need Him. Words fail. This portrayal of the life of Christ has eternal implications and effect. Tears flowed as I watch this.
Such a beautiful portrayal of a very hard situation. I myself have experienced two miscarriages, and each time it took months after to work through and yes, I am a very strong believer in Jesus.
I felt so moved by the story of Simon and Eden in season 3. The loss and heartbreak, it culminated in such an impactful way. I can rewatch the episodes and feel like God is there for me even when it's devastating and things seem stacked against me.
Thank you. My wife and I haven't experienced the trial of a miscarriage. But similar to how you explained Simon's struggles, I have felt recently a pain and sorrow that I can't describe. I'm doing my best to follow the gospel, I feel the correctness...the rightness...in what I do. I worship, I pray, I study (as best I can), I strive to set good examples for my sons and lead my family righteously. And yet, recently, inexplicably, I've felt a lack of peace in my life--like...despair-level lack of peace. The words Christ said on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me" have often come to mind as I try to figure out why I'm not feeling peace even though I'm striving to do everything right. I don't have a solid answer...yet. But watching this interview, along with many other tender mercies God has sent my way, has renewed my hope that this experience I'm facing, this trial that I am struggling with, has a purpose. I will trust in God. No matter what, I am His. Even if I have to endure the rest of my life with this. I know all things will be made right through Christ.
Such a beautiful storyline- much deeper than just Simon and Eden losing their child. I just love this show and the humanness that is displayed in every single episode!!
This was a perfect depiction of the struggles of miscarriage and marriage. We lost twins 6 yrs ago. So many deal with loss and all the doubt in God thru it all. I'm so glad for this episode as painful as it is, God is still there.
I loved this subplot. It is something that I think everyone can relate to in some way; not necessarily a miscarriage, but wondering why Jesus allows us to feel pain when we know He can heal us at any moment. Christ offers healing in ways we don’t always recognize in the moment, nor in ways we would expect prior, but He can and will heal us in ways that will bring us closer to Him and that will ultimately be best for our growth. Christ’s healing is personal and individualized, and He knows us perfectly.
I was quite impressed with the realistic writing of this subplot. It was so sad to see but well-done. People are flawed and have issues, and things are not always resolved cleanly. Kudos to the actors as well! It really hurts me since I love Eden and Simon's relationship, but I'm looking forward to where it goes next.
It is the most compelling moment in this part of the show. So real, so much pain and loss. But at the same time the strength Eden has to have that pain and comfort him. And she has to tell the person she loves what she has known for a while, but has suffered and now Simon is driven to get the answer from the Messiah that he knows Jesus is. Mercy, it's a beautiful , powerful and heart wrenching scene. I just cried the whole time. And then she is healed and he is crying "don't let me go!" Unbelievable ❤️ 😢 it was just told so well and faith building 🤗🙏💖
As someone who has experienced the trauma of a miscarriage and it being to me the last chance I had to have children before the change women go through I can say this episode was hard in places to watch yet still gripping. It felt like I knew how both Eden and Simon felt and responded to God more like Simon than Eden. I'm so grateful God mercifully brought me through that time. I can't imagine what it would have been like to experience a miscarriage in the first century. How would they have made sure the remains of the baby no matter how small were removed from the cervix? Back then would they have even known to do that? I'm sure it would have been even more traumatic then, than now. We are so blessed to know the advances in medical science that we know today.
Ok, I was not prepared for this words. My husband and I lost a baby in year before last, and we are still getting over our grief. I confess that sometimes we had exactly this feeling of feeling wronged when seeing miracles happening in other lives, while we had received a no from God. Today my heart is at peace again, even if we don't have all the answers, the answers we have are enough. God bless The Chosen.
These back stories and unthought of aspects are very beneficial in adding substance to these immortal stories. It saddens me when people criticize The Chosen and analyse and dissect everything and fail to see it as a tool to reach a modern audience. I see it as a brilliant way of portraying the humanity of these familiar people. Every episode shows it!
Can’t describe the anger I’m going through and seeing Simeon and the Pslam being sung over when he said “ I am trouble I can barley speak. Just no words
I can relate so deeply with this story line as our Baby Girl passed away about 15 years ago, after over 7 years of one trial after the other due to brain cancer. She was 5 when diagnosed, and it was only after she fell into her first comatose state that my heart surrendered to Jesus and I became born again. After she passed, the struggle of “Why?!” was so intense…yet as the character John says, the truth is none of us are exempt from the suffering of this world. The point is not this world but the one to come. Meanwhile, Faith helps us mature into the image God originally created us to be, His own. As we continue to trust Jesus in spite of life’s challenges, He makes us stronger than we ever thought we could be…and we can excitedly look forward to the grand reunion with all our loved ones when our time here is done! Thank you for the courage to take on these heartbreaking realities.
Beautiful video🔥🔥🔥 season was just epic and Eden's story is very touching. This episode made me cry so hard esp the walking on water scene 🌊 .... Thank You The Chosen team for everything and this beautiful insight into this episode.
Ahhhh... Thanks for replying 🔥🔥🔥😊 You just made my day. It shows that you care about The Chosen fans and you do read our comments even though you cannot reply to all of us. May the Lord continue to bless you

My comment disappeared so I reposted but thank you for taking time to send condolences for Madeline Hope. God countinue to bless, holy spirit continue guide Dallas and the team for this ministry in Jesus name
I can identify with Evan, I have recieved healing, through Christ I know one day when I am called home my lost child will be there waiting for our reunion, this is my hope and comfort.
I can’t put into words what this episode did for me. I have suffered from 9 miscarriages. There isn’t enough public awareness of miscarriage. There are so many of us that don’t have the support to get through this difficult journey. I pray that one day that will change.Thank you for including this sensitive subject to the story. God Bless
I'm so sorry. I'll be praying for you my sister in Christ.
Wow so sorry you went through that 😢🥺🥺praying for you🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Watch the movie "Heaven is for real!" Your babies are waiting for you in Heaven!❤
Your strength is Admirable. Thank you for sharing ❤. All the best to you. God bless
I’m so sorry. You’ve suffered so much! 😞 Christ is with you through it all. ❤️
"You've gotta wait for YOUR chapter". That statement got me. Our story is written but not fully revealed to us yet. Keep trusting God.
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
Such a powerful and well-written/performed season. Next week will be 5 years since my husband died from cancer. We had a miscarriage back in 1986 and watching the scene with Eden made me suddenly realize that my husband has now met that baby! Thank you for your authenticity in showing God's love and grace in the midst of real pain.
I am so sorry for your losses, but so happy for that beautiful realization you had, and the knowledge that someday you will see both of them again
Our sincerest condolences on your losses. We are so glad to hear that Simon and Eden's storyline was impactful to you.
❤
I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet love!
This storyline rocked me. I had a late miscarriage 27 years ago and when I watched Eden go through this, I actually truly grieved my Grace in a way I never had. I was not expecting that reaction at all. But we know God gives us what we need and this happens over and over again watching this series. God bless all of you!
Big warm hug to you. I’m so sorry. Maybe you needed to cry?
Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Dawn. Our sincerest condolences on your loss.
Dawn, I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear child. I hope this doesn't come off as insensitive, but I'm glad you were able to grieve more deeply. I once heard that our sadness shows us how much we value/d whatever/whomever we lost. Your tears speak truth, which will set you more free to be loved and to love. I hope you don't mind me saying: God's peace comfort you. 🙏❤️💔✝️
It's a very sad experience to go through.
Sending you hugs from a fellow sufferer of miscarriage.
Thank you. I needed this today. I have had 2 miscarriages and have lost 2 children. 2 years ago my husband had a traumatic brain injury and survived but is much different. We still have to special needs children at home and many times I feel so alone. This continues to remind me I am not and it is only through Jesus and God’s love that I am making it. ❤
I’m so sorry for those tremendous trials you’ve been given. You’re a true warrior. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story. 🙂
You are a very strong woman. May Gog Bless you in every way.
This is exactly why I enjoy watching this show "The Chosen." They are using present day stories through biblical faith . 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐
That's what I LOVE ABOUT IT TO!
*"How do you go out and heal people while you're still hurting inside??"* Great question. I too, lost my very last baby. Feeling grief, regret, envy, shame, anger, frustration and feeling abandoned by God all while trying to still trust God and be a mom to my earthly children and be a wife.
It's been many years since my loss and I still struggle. It takes a decision to draw near to God.
I love Lara’s heart in explaining this storyline- you can tell she is so intentional and kind. I would have loved to have heard Shahar’s perspective! He acted it all out so beautifully and authentically.
He never does interviews
@@Adaobieistyping yeah he does. at least now he does, I just watched one with Noah James on Hey U Guys.
This… I don’t have any words. I had a miscarriage a month ago and this hits so close to home. It was absolute whiplash and I never felt more distant from God than when I was going through this. Simon’s anger is so accurately captured and perfectly reflected my everything my husband felt. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this incredible reminder to let go of anger, let go of fear, and cling to our Savior.
❤
This is the best interview/explanation of the episode. The storyline throughout season 3 isn't just about Simon and Eden, it is about our doubt, our self absorption, our beliefs. The way everyone explained, in depth,the meaning of the scenes is so absolutely wonderful. This should open all our eyes and hearts to the fact we are not exempt from trials and tribulations here on earth. "Bones will still break, hearts will still break" but we must not lose sight that God is going to get us thru whatever we come up against. His amazing love for us can pull us out from the drowning we all experience from time to time, we only have to reach out for Him. Thank you cast and crew for this amazing interview, and explanation of what some people did not get out of the storyline. You all have been blessed by God and it really shows. Love you all for your work, humility, love of your 'job' (even though you don't portray it as a job) and for giving us a closer relationship with God and Jesus. 🙏🕊💜
AMEN❤️
I know that GOD is who and what we need to depend on. I know that! But, for how long? My father is 98yrs old and I know that he still is suffering in a way. His daughter, my sister was murdered, what's worse is the punk A$$ got away with it. And he's had to live with for more than half of his life.We were just talking about it last night. I don't believe God caused it, but why didn't he prevent? I have a hard time with scene of Simon hearing that God/Jesus allows suffering and pain to prove the genuinuss of our faith. Can't God pick a different way to strengthen us
It just feels like the pain and suffering doesn't stop. I guess I'm struggling with that question at the moment. Not angry just struggling
@@marygibbon6989 OH Mary, I know what you are feeling. I am so sorry for your loss and what you're going thru now with your father. It's very hard for all of us to have to suffer and see our loved ones suffer. I was struggling myself very recently with my mom dying from mouth cancer and wondering why she had to suffer so horrifically. Why wouldn't God cure her or take her so she was out of pain and suffering. I didn't know how He wasn't hearing my daily cries for help, even though I knew He did hear me. But it was in His time and plan, not mine. Sometimes we forget that's it's not in our hands or what WE want. My cousin said something that gave me some needed comfort. She said my mom was suffering so bad here on earth so she could go right to heaven when she passed away. That gives me comfort knowing that my mom isn't suffering anymore, she's her beautiful self again, and she's in God's arms. I do now understand why God allows suffering because as much as I suffered along with my mom, He was the only one I could always turn to cry to and to beg Him to take her. In His time He did, but he gave me as much more precious time with my mom that He could or that I deserved. I cherish those hard times now and the many many lessons in patience and love He taught me along the way. I hope you find peace and don't turn away from God and Jesus in any way as life is in Their hands not ours. We might not get the answers we want but in the long run the answers we get are what's right for us. I hope you can get some peace, forgiveness helps and know you have a Father that sees you, loves you and will NEVER turn His back on you. May you be blessed to help you thru your struggles 🙏
@@michellepriore5610 Thank You So Much. Your words and compassion I could feel as I read it. God Blessed you with the gift of comforting, people so lovingly. 💕🙏 . Thank you again 😔
It was amazing how it touched the heart of men who have gone through this loss as well. My wife went through this a few times and the pain was real. Such an amazing episode.
We are glad to hear that Eden and Simon's storyline was impactful to you. Thank you for sharing.
I was feeling upset with my current relationship and while i was rewatching The Chosen couldn't help but cry realizing how much Simon and Eden's situation had its ups and downs and that the only way to fix a relationship is by faith and trust in Jesus so I decided that I will leave it to the Lord let His will be done and not mine 🙏
Its the raw humanity that is interwoven into every episode of The Chosen that makes it resonate so profoundly with audiences. The series does this far better than any other televised or cinematic depiction of Biblical characters. Kudos to Dallas Jenkins, cast and crew for making Biblical history so relatable and believable. Even an atheist could watch this, maintain his skepticism of the divine elements involved, and still glean wisdom and inspiration from the portrayal of the Gospels. God bless everyone behind this production.
This was a very moving episode for me because I suffered from hormonal imbalance that made me bleed for days on end, and also suffered two miscarriages. Having identified for so long with the woman with the hemorrhage (Veronica), and the pain of the loss of two babies made this a hard episode to watch. But it was very healing, even after all these 20+ years. God is faithful. I appreciate The Chosen for having the courage to show these realities.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
I've had multiple miscarriages, this topic hit the core of exactly how you feel with grief. It's a mourning of death without the typical burial. I know someday I will get to meet my 3 babies, who are now in the arms and care of our Lord. 💖🕊💖
Ms Lara Silva sounds like she is going through her own emotional pain. May the Lord comfort her and be near her if she is 🙏
I recently was told by my parents that we're moving to New Brunswick. But what this means to me personally is that I'm moving away from the best friends I've ever had in my life and the best church and youth group I've ever had in my life, here in Ontario. Today at church I told my friends, and I just barely was able to hold myself together. Then at home all the emotion came out and I cried in an uncontrollable rage for hours. While on a walk outside, I was remembering the story of Simon and Eden in The Chosen, and how that was such a good, bold and necessary choice to make for the show in order to show the pain and the confusion that real people go through, and how no matter WHAT happens - God is always, always the answer and will always comfort you and help you and be the friend you need when all your friends are far away... I don't understand why my life has changed this way, but I don't think it was a coincidence that after thinking about this story line of "why do bad things happen to good people", the very first notification to pop up on my phone when I came back from my walk was this video.
Please pray for me to have peace and understand that there's a reason I'm supposed to go!! 🙃
I'll pray for you.
My favorite scripture comes to mind, Psalms 46:10 - "Be still and know that I am God..."
Blessings.❤
@@evelyn.whitaker Thank you so much, I appreciate that!
It may be for a season. For God to show you something, for you to grow, to prepare for what He has for you. Maybe after that, you'll go back. Prayers for guidance for you and peace to trust the process!
May the Lord grant you wisdom and a measure of faith to move forward to where He knows you need to be. The family of God is everywhere and sometimes we have to trust the Lord, follow Him, and move from our Ur to our Promised Land. 🙏🏼
I was in a similar situation. I prayed for friends in church and God responded, now I have two. Different ages ans different backgrounds but it’s a true friendship.
The church I am in is not perfect but neither was my previous church. That is the body of Christ, imperfect people working for a perfect God. Keep that in mind and God bless you
I love they made the reality be sensivle to all. I guess that is why we need Jesus all the more. Because without Him, we may be physically fine, but spiritually broken and hurting from all the storms in this life.
I went through exactly that and my marriage died after our miscarriage. I had a hysterectomy at 28 but God put me into Children’s Ministry and for years blessed me with hundreds of kids. I counted it an honor to be allowed to teach open hearts about Gods love and compassion for our aching hearts. I can testify that EVERYTHING the enemy means for harm God will without fail turn it into a blessing and a opportunity to grow in the knowledge of Him.
I’m so sorry for your losses. My husband and I have been trying and praying for years for a child of our own. But I work in kids ministry too and it is a healing balm to get to disciple young hearts. I love them fiercely!
The way this series expresses God's love is awe-inspiring. It helps us in the 21st century see Jesus' human side that the 1st century saw. Thank you, Dallas, for creating this series and bringing Jesus to so many who are lost.
It's a powerful scene. My daughter had a miscarriage and she was bleeding so much. It's even more powerful to see the actors in this interview and how touched they were as well. I cried so much, also because after raising my grandson for 3 years in my house my daughter moved away to the other side of the U.S.A. and I can't hold him, play with him, or have endless talks as we use to. I felt my heart bleeding. Still today, 4 mins after I'm still crying in pain. So this scene brought healing to me. God allows trials for a reason and that He is always there. Gbu all
@Lourdes borrero I pray God makes a way for you to have your hearts desire.
I was not expecting that miscarriage at all. I have no words to express how touching this episode was. May the Lord bless everyone who has made this series posible
This episode helped me heal my relationship with God because my husband died a year and a half ago from covid and I felt like Simon .... why didnt God hear my prayers? Why did he allow him to die? I cried so much through this episode. Thank you for touching this subject. It isnt just about losing a baby... its so much more.
Yes!! You are so right !
Thank you again to Dallas and The Chosen team for including this as part of the story. So many of us have suffered this loss and never get any answers. The answer for many is that we suffer and are so lowly so that God can come be with us in the valleys to prove He loves us. It is our faith in Him, that reinforces trust that we are not alone in the bad times.
I needed to hear this today and I am suffering, I have doubts, I am afraid. But I am so in love with Jesus! I KNOW He is here and can do whatever He wants, I just can't control or process emotions and events at all. I thought He was healing me, this situation is showing me He hasn't, but I have to believe He will.
Me too. I totally understand that, those feelings and thoughts and emotions. I feel like I'm not alone at this moment. I hope the same thing for you 😔🙂🙏
That scene that Simon n Eden were in their own way experiencing was soo realistic. They had much love n compassion for each other that they met one another on the other side with a beautiful embrace. Loved it! 🙏❤
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
My husband and I have been struggling with infertility for three years now and have been given some severe diagnoses as to why natural conception has been hard. I can’t tell you how much this episode of Eden’s miscarriage meant to us. We feel so seen and more importantly , we feel so seen through the eyes of Jesus and His ultimate love for us. It has been so hard to see God come through for so many couples and we are still waiting for our healing and miracle.
I felt the same thank you so much for sharing but there was so much comfort in this
This meant so much for me. I just lost my husband and both of us have been very strong in our faith. I just knew he was going to be healed here. I thought if I was just faithful enough but God took him. I have had so much anger at God bc I can't understand why He took him. I'm working through it. Grief is hard but oh my gosh this video helped so much.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
The blessing of going through suffering is it allows the one affected to grow in love and be more compassionate and understanding.
Thank you for sharing that with us. It helps me to understand and that it helps quiet the anger in my heart that comes and goes. Also, quiets down the voices in my head. God Bless You 🙏✌️❤️🩹🙂
This really touched me because I went through it. My husband was away in the military and I went through it alone as well.
Our sincerest condolences on your loss.
We all say, "Why God?" so often in this life. Thank you for showing REAL thoughts & emotions...that we all suffer trials, even in the midst of The Lord.
This scene reminded us, that just because we know Jesus and have been saved and have His holy Spirit living within us, we still live in a very broken world and are effected by the brokenness. We sometimes see our loved ones not healed here, we still have children who walk away from our families and choose bad things, we still have broken homes, and we still sometimes miscarry and loose a baby, and sometimes question why. In time we realize that God does have a purpose and a plan, and we too have to put our hands in His, and trust! But it is hard. I really appreciate the series using the opportunity to remind us, that just as the disciples were chosen, they too had to trust Him with all their hearts and lean not onto their own understanding. He is faithful. Always!❤️✝️🙌
Your message 😢...Thank you! It's hard to meet believers who are real & life is always going the right way because they pretend to follow GOD & my suffering is because I may not be HIS child. That blessings only follow children of GOD & not pain & hardship.
I cried a lot seeing Peter crying and questioning Jesús why if we serve our miracles are delay... One thing I've learned, is that God is soverein and his will is his will. We just need to focus on him, serve, trust and wait on him.
I'm so grateful to be alive to witness this work. We love you all and appreciate the talent and spirit every one of you bring to the show. You're helping to make the Gospel accessible to so many who could not relate to simple reading and study. To them it wasn't real. The merger of real life struggles - the human condition - with the likely experience of 1st generation of Christians and teaching of God's word... was genius. And I'm sure spirit led.
Definitely! Divinely inspired 😇☝️🙏✊️
As someone who has walked through 4 miscarriages this storyline was so incredibly emotional. I appreciate the way you guys portraid this. I could feel Eden's pain.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
The one thing that as a couple that has lost multiple babies we think they hit on that even many people miss is that it is a loss to the husband/ father to be as well as the woman. The woman is often recognized if people know she was expecting and she had this happen. Simon being upset and them even being a bit torn apart due to each other's grief was so spot on to what even we went through, even for those who trust in God. Thank you to Dallas and all at the Chosen for this.
The extraordinary gratitude I have to the creation of this show runs so deep. What a gift to use ones craft to honor God, draw others to Christ and with excellence gives me so much hope. It is a light in such challenging times. God bless this whole team and thank you. 🙏
It was hard to watch this part of the series. I had two miscarriages and I could totally feel how Eden felt. So well done thank you for going there Chosen. It was good to see the healing process. Looking forward to season 4.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
This show has brought me closer to God. I pray it brings many to the Lord. It's healing the world on a grand scale.
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
This entire show feels like Jesus reaching down to us the way He did when Peter was sinking. Over and over again. Through every story. Never have I witnessed or experienced anything like this. And so exploring difficult stories like Eden's miscarriage shows just how deep God will go for His people. There is no length or depth. Thank God for everyone involved with this amazing show.
My miscarriage saved my relationship with God. It brought me to my knees and drew me closer and saved me again. I will forever grieve the child I lost, but will forever be grateful for this new relationship I have with Christ. Watching this storyline, renewed my understanding that God loves us and we MUST have faith!
Thank you for sharing your story. 🙂
This isn't easy to type. My husband is always with me but the only 2 days he wasn't were the hardest in my life and I had to lean on Jesus even when it felt he was missing. When I got the diagnosis in our pregnancy and when my daughter after 19 days of miracles passed away. People keep asking "how we are doing" how you're feeling" ...at many times me and my husband can't really explain or express especially from a believers perspective. Can you be angry at Jesus? God? But need him, love him at the same time? Praise Jesus in the storm of agnoy? My husband and I is living this as we speak. The last few episodes especially the last is 1000% depicted what my husband and I are living and this gave so much comfort and a voice to the pain. I can't thank Chosen, Dallas, everyone in this ministry enough for being part of our healing. God bless this ministry becasue it's more than a show it's God speaking through the screen. In loving memory of Madeline Hope Camacho 1/18/23
So beautiful. So real. Jesus is so good!
I don't have the words to say how remarkable this is--the story, the writing, the actors!!! It's so touching, so human, and so loving in every way. One of the things that strikes me is that Jesus is always there for those who seek Him. We see that time after time 💙 What an amazing story of Jesus and who He is. This will reach so many who are lost and seeking.
Its a really strong thing:
that season 3 is somehow about the "why doesn't he heal me" question... and this is really a hard lesson for someone who is already a believing person like Simon, Eden and little James...
Sometimes in our life, Jesus strengthens our belief not by letting us see wonders ("milk") but by letting us struggle together with him and by learning us to give him our full trust even in those bad times ("bread" and "meat"... you have to chew it).
Because his goal is not just letting us have an 'easy life', but that we should learn to love in the dimension of the cross - the problems, that already are in our lives - that we shall be healed later, and growing in faith first...
It's not that he's doing bad things to us, NO! - these 'bad' things - that he only allows to happen to us - are good for us, because he will turn them into real good things...
His final goal is that we will have the ability to love like he does: to "love your enemy!"
Praise be to HIM!
Thank you for this clip. Didn't realize I needed to see this today. God always has perfect timing!
Thank you for tackling all the complexities of the pain, struggle, confusion and longing to understand and make sense of the pain! Well done. We are so deeply loved by JESUS NO MATTER what he does or does not do for us. Blessed be the name of the LORD who GIVES AND TAKES AWAY. So appreciate the actress who played EDEN. She is AMAZING! So blessed by her!
Ohhhh wow, thank you and so much love to you all❤
NSW AUSTRALIA 🌺💖🌺
Well, there goes my makeup. 😭 Such a beautiful show. I love the insights and care that the actors shared, and the faith gained. You’re all doing such an important work in these troubled times!
This was a painful episode and interview. It has been 15 years of 'recovery' for my wife and I. I promise you that we still struggle with the reality of loosing at least 4 children to miscarriage. We did not know it could happen to us and we did not know how to support each when it happened. The first time I cried as I sat at a red light behind her car on the way home. We were not even in the same car after the doctors appointment!!! There is so much going through my mind about this, so I will stop here.
Thank you for taking this on. I hope it helps others during their struggles.
God bless you all cast and crews of the chosen, there is light at the end of the tunnel. With love and support of loved ones, we can always get through with our loss, though the scene get me down memory lane and I got so emotional 🙏☺️
I had an ectopic pregnancy and was left behind by the person I love and trust, my husband, then, 26 years ago. I know how it felt, alone, and left behind. Thank God, I ran to Him and embraced His hand. I can related Simon Peter's feeling at the time, why God let it happen.... He can do something, but things happen because He is teaching us something else. How painful the experience in life is, we are not alone, and He is there for us and with us. It's all a part of our life journey to make us better and stronger and surrender to His plans. Thank you for the opportunity to have you, even for a few moments, baby. I know that one day, I will see you in Heaven.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
My heart goes out to you. You are a very strong person and woman. My mind and heart was torn apart baving suffered a loss too, 7 years ago and again, just months ago. It's heart breaking and devastating and it makes you question the meaning of it all as you continue to let that run over and over in your head. But yet you can't not think, when it has actually happened and the pain is just so unbearable. When you never have anything and in the end, still not have anything and no one. You are all alone, rejected too by the world. Going through various kinds of pain and challenges that really pushes your mind, heart and soul to its limits, as a human. Its really easy to break some point and I think I have but, God came in and picked up all the pieces and said to me "my son, I know. I hear you, and I see you, your pain, all that you are going through, and how much and how bad you feel and it is. But you are not alone. And I will never walk away from you. You can mess up, but I will be here. I will always be here and to help you up and along. To keep you going. Just when you think it's all lost, or you see nothing and have nothing, losing it and there's no hope, to keep on going, i would challenge once more, to take a leap of faith with and into me, and I will show you, there is still hope. Even at this point. Even if the whole world is against you or drops you, I am here for you. Come unto my arms, and let me carry you and your pain now. You have tried to shouldered it all alone and figure your own way out time and again and have also, failed time and again. But that's okay. I want you give it to me now. Your burdens, your pain, your guilt, your shame, your anger, your resentment, your heart. All of it. Let me bear it for you. As I already have, bear your sins on the cross, 2000 years ago, and set/made you free. Today, I will do it again, carry all your mistakes and pain, and you. If you would just let go and let me. Even a little mustard seed of faith from you is good enough for me. And I will show you, that its not the end, and more for you. For I have great plans for you and there's lessons I need you to learn to hone you, towards what I called you to do and so, you may not see it now, your circumstances may be very unlikely and the future so uncertain, however in me, your hope is secured. Know me and my love for you, for if I would give my life for you, what else more would I not. And I have got the best for you. There are things you don't know and don't see that i do, and I am protecting you. Now, listen to me, and listen well. Hold steadfast in your faith, as you find yourself growing weary, continue to stand firm and keep on going, when you can't, not on your own, come to me, and I will help you, in due season, you shall reap. Trust me and my timing for you. All the good i have and yet to show you. Don't give up. I am here for you. And I am for you, you have nothing to fear and no one against you will prevail. But I have got plans for you, plans not to harm you or to do evil unto you, plans to prosper you, to give give hope and a future. Look nowhere else now and focus on me. You have tried again and again, on your own. This time try it with me. Or better, be still and know that I am God. You only need to try your part with me and leave the rest all to me. I will help you, son. For I am, your father. And I love you. Yes, I do. When you are ready, you will see, not by just by sight but also by faith. As you are ready, I will command you, having came out better, to go feed my sheep, the rest of them all. Waiting for me and my touch of salvation. "
I remember having to go through an operation when I believed for supernatural healing. It takes another level of faith to stand and continue looking at the Lord our Healer. Thank you The Chosen for speaking our hearts.
I cried & sobbed for Simon & Eden as well as for my baby😢🙏💔What a beautiful show about our loving God🙏🛐🙌
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
I'm happy seeing Veronica's actress here! Her story moved me so much. Seeing how sad it was that her family abandoned her over her illness makes me want her to be friends with Eden, Mary, and Tamar (and eventually Ramah and Mother Mary) I love the way that the Chosen gives emphasis to the female disciples. I love when Tamar and Mary were nice to her at the lake.
Between the storyline of Eden and Simon and the stories shared in the comments here, I am in tears. tbh, seeing the scenes pared down and connected in this video makes it all a razor to my heart. Brutal in its beauty.
Miscarriage is very hard . It took me a long time to get over. God is the only one that really helps.
We are sorry for your loss.
I love this show!! It has taught me so much and helped me to have more faith in God! Thank you so much for all of your hard work❤
To show some of the most important Saints of Christendom as people next door, struggling with some of the most basic fears of human beings, thats a strength of that show.
As I watched this, I cried silent tears. The rest of me was numb as I have experienced five miscarriages in my life. The hardest was my last. My ex-husband just walked away when I told him what I was going through. My bridegroom that was with me was Jesus. But it was difficult to see at the time.

amazing story line and both actors played it beautifully. I have never been blessed with children but I felt the pain she went through and his as well...
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
My wife had a miscarriage years ago. It was devastating to her. Even now, just like Simon, I ask "why?"
This is why I love the chosen. It makes everything so real. The disciples were human and had problems of their own too. To show that it really means something and adds something to the story.
It's easy for everyone to say "That's Jesus, I would follow him " but , trials and tribulations come along with that.. At the same time, When he was around.. He was a big change. And not everyone was prepared to follow that change.
Is he the messiah? Is he a zealot? Is he against Jews? Is he planning to overthrow Rome? Do I have to fight and die for him?
So many questions would have been in the minds then, Which means a very strong faith was needed to follow him. What is shown with Simon here is quite amazing, As it's one of the many challenges being a disciple. Seeing miracles left and right, And yet not being a part of that.
I suppose all of the disciples don't wish to be selfish, but when faced with such a horrendous and challenge.. They do then ask: Why haven't I been cured? Why hasn't a miracle been performed for me?
So relatable now. This what Simon is going through is how I feel now. So many bad things, injustice, lost my child, I'm so scared im gonna end up hateful and in despair😩
💔Praying for you.🙏
Talk about hitting me where I hurt..
I just lost my grandgirl..hit by a drunk driver the day before her 22nd birthday..she passed the day after her birthday..left a 4yr old,, motherless..
I do KNOW & TRUST GOD..but the gut punch was brutal..
God said I don't understand because I have no relationship with death..I was never a child of the dark, never will be..
I'll wait on Him..there's nothing hidden, that will not be revealed..struggling to stand..waiting for His Hand..
I had 4 miscarriages after each birth i was crying in the hospital but god gave me my 4 children of my own Angie,Leia,ella,Grace are in heaven in total i also have a rainbow baby Jessie so thanks be to God
It's SO SAD that miscarriage is so common. The pain is almost unspeakable and I'm grateful for the chance to talk about it even more and connect with those who can relate. Even in this we thank God; we are not alone. Glory to Jesus.
I love this episode. My marriage has been through so much heartache and tests. I'm currently at the point that I am praying for peace.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
AMEN AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! You can hear it in their voices that they are holding back tears voices crack. I am so grateful to you all for what you are doing!
Thank you for this beautiful clip. I saw this amazing episode, and kept thinking how Psalm 22 was the best expression of Simon and Eden's pain and faith. "I will remember the years of the right hand of the Lord.." The right hand was a symbol of God's help, care and provision.
Amen praise God and Jesus love yall and thanks for everything you do for me Amen
The first time Simon, under water reached, for Jesus’ hand, I literally reached out my hand as if grasping Jesus’ hand myself. And every time I see it (3 or 4 times so far) I have the same urge. It reminds me how much I need Him. Words fail. This portrayal of the life of Christ has eternal implications and effect. Tears flowed as I watch this.
Such a beautiful portrayal of a very hard situation. I myself have experienced two miscarriages, and each time it took months after to work through and yes, I am a very strong believer in Jesus.
Our condolences on your losses. Thanks for sharing with us.
I felt so moved by the story of Simon and Eden in season 3. The loss and heartbreak, it culminated in such an impactful way. I can rewatch the episodes and feel like God is there for me even when it's devastating and things seem stacked against me.
Thank you. My wife and I haven't experienced the trial of a miscarriage. But similar to how you explained Simon's struggles, I have felt recently a pain and sorrow that I can't describe. I'm doing my best to follow the gospel, I feel the correctness...the rightness...in what I do. I worship, I pray, I study (as best I can), I strive to set good examples for my sons and lead my family righteously. And yet, recently, inexplicably, I've felt a lack of peace in my life--like...despair-level lack of peace. The words Christ said on the cross, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me" have often come to mind as I try to figure out why I'm not feeling peace even though I'm striving to do everything right. I don't have a solid answer...yet. But watching this interview, along with many other tender mercies God has sent my way, has renewed my hope that this experience I'm facing, this trial that I am struggling with, has a purpose. I will trust in God. No matter what, I am His. Even if I have to endure the rest of my life with this. I know all things will be made right through Christ.
This show is so timely and timeless!
“Everybody can be Veronica, you just gotta wait for your chapter” 3:48
Such a beautiful storyline- much deeper than just Simon and Eden losing their child. I just love this show and the humanness that is displayed in every single episode!!
Amen! ❤
This was a perfect depiction of the struggles of miscarriage and marriage. We lost twins 6 yrs ago. So many deal with loss and all the doubt in God thru it all. I'm so glad for this episode as painful as it is, God is still there.
Well done guys-all of you. Thank you for being real and helping all of us through the pain of this life.
I loved this subplot. It is something that I think everyone can relate to in some way; not necessarily a miscarriage, but wondering why Jesus allows us to feel pain when we know He can heal us at any moment. Christ offers healing in ways we don’t always recognize in the moment, nor in ways we would expect prior, but He can and will heal us in ways that will bring us closer to Him and that will ultimately be best for our growth. Christ’s healing is personal and individualized, and He knows us perfectly.
The interview of the actress who plays Eden is emotional to hear and also the information she conveys is amazing! ♡
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
This is such a moving episode. We all at some time question the Lord's decision but have to continue having faith 🙏
I was quite impressed with the realistic writing of this subplot. It was so sad to see but well-done. People are flawed and have issues, and things are not always resolved cleanly. Kudos to the actors as well!
It really hurts me since I love Eden and Simon's relationship, but I'm looking forward to where it goes next.
God hands is truly on this show. Keep up the good work. I love the Chosen
Hello 👋 how are you doing??
It is the most compelling moment in this part of the show. So real, so much pain and loss. But at the same time the strength Eden has to have that pain and comfort him. And she has to tell the person she loves what she has known for a while, but has suffered and now Simon is driven to get the answer from the Messiah that he knows Jesus is. Mercy, it's a beautiful , powerful and heart wrenching scene. I just cried the whole time. And then she is healed and he is crying "don't let me go!" Unbelievable ❤️ 😢 it was just told so well and faith building 🤗🙏💖
Having commentary from the actors really gave depth to these scenes. So meaningful!
Amazing story within the story! Teaching us to suffer is a part of our walk with Him!
One of the best shows. God is there guiding this epic show.
As someone who has experienced the trauma of a miscarriage and it being to me the last chance I had to have children before the change women go through I can say this episode was hard in places to watch yet still gripping. It felt like I knew how both Eden and Simon felt and responded to God more like Simon than Eden. I'm so grateful God mercifully brought me through that time. I can't imagine what it would have been like to experience a miscarriage in the first century. How would they have made sure the remains of the baby no matter how small were removed from the cervix? Back then would they have even known to do that? I'm sure it would have been even more traumatic then, than now. We are so blessed to know the advances in medical science that we know today.
Ok, I was not prepared for this words. My husband and I lost a baby in year before last, and we are still getting over our grief. I confess that sometimes we had exactly this feeling of feeling wronged when seeing miracles happening in other lives, while we had received a no from God. Today my heart is at peace again, even if we don't have all the answers, the answers we have are enough. God bless The Chosen.
Respect to all the viewers. We can not make sense of this world without faith that makes no sense
My prayers goes out to anyone who has been through this. God bless you all. ❤🙏
These back stories and unthought of aspects are very beneficial in adding substance to these immortal stories. It saddens me when people criticize The Chosen and analyse and dissect everything and fail to see it as a tool to reach a modern audience. I see it as a brilliant way of portraying the humanity of these familiar people. Every episode shows it!
Can’t describe the anger I’m going through and seeing Simeon and the Pslam being sung over when he said “ I am trouble I can barley speak. Just no words
I can relate so deeply with this story line as our Baby Girl passed away about 15 years ago, after over 7 years of one trial after the other due to brain cancer. She was 5 when diagnosed, and it was only after she fell into her first comatose state that my heart surrendered to Jesus and I became born again. After she passed, the struggle of “Why?!” was so intense…yet as the character John says, the truth is none of us are exempt from the suffering of this world. The point is not this world but the one to come. Meanwhile, Faith helps us mature into the image God originally created us to be, His own. As we continue to trust Jesus in spite of life’s challenges, He makes us stronger than we ever thought we could be…and we can excitedly look forward to the grand reunion with all our loved ones when our time here is done! Thank you for the courage to take on these heartbreaking realities.
The Chosen uses amazing insight into human reactions with life issues. I love to see how the characters play out the stories. Love The Chosen! ❤ 🌼
Beautiful video🔥🔥🔥 season was just epic and Eden's story is very touching. This episode made me cry so hard esp the walking on water scene 🌊 .... Thank You The Chosen team for everything and this beautiful insight into this episode.
We are glad you enjoyed it.
Ahhhh... Thanks for replying 🔥🔥🔥😊 You just made my day. It shows that you care about The Chosen fans and you do read our comments even though you cannot reply to all of us. May the Lord continue to bless you
Eden acting is so natural! I have been through the same thing, miscarriage plus full term
This is a wonderful testimony. God is awesome. He is good. He is faithful. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. AMEN
