Me too. I think don’t let me go is a cry inside of me that I never uttered out loud. I’m telling God that. “In this world you shall have trials and tribulations but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.” Jesus
My husband and I got to be in the crowd at the feeding of the 5000. It was amazing to be there! I just love this episode in every way! May be the best ever!
Leonardo, I'm telling you, watching March 1, 2024, all I can say is that YOU ARE ANOINTED, Yah gives you the right words to say to us by way of an encouragement. ALWAYS "hitting the nail on the head". You hit me HARD, when you said that "God walks on the water" of our lives. That just took me away, tears, upon tears, it's as if I was drinking in everything you said. Continue to make yourself available to HIM. Shalom, Shalom!
I started following your reactions from season 1 and am anxiously waiting for your reaction to season 4. For the first time l have understood more from/about scriptures based on your personal experiences and your sharing. Indeed, the parable of the workers in the vineyard comes to play Matthew 20:1-16. GOD bless you and family.
Leonardo, I hope you have started to prepare to comment on Season 4, Episode 1, can't wait. You are sooo gifted by God when you dissect the episodes. Can't wait for you to start encouraging us.
Shmuel referenced Job when talking with Jesus. Eden also is quoting Job when she says God "gives and takes away." The Chosen is telling us to notice Job! Job says of God in 9:8: "He alone stretches out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea" ... this description of God is why Jesus had to walk on water.
I was one of the first early investors of "The Chosen". I'm so happy to see that you are happy with The Chosen. I'm overjoyed that you're surrendering your life to the Lord, Leonardo.
Both Eden and Simon are being cleansed at the same time...BEAUTIFUL, just BEAUTIFUL. His footsteps were unseen, because we're so deeply troubled and hurts - they're unseen to us, BUT THEY'RE THERE, ready "to walk on our pain, heartaches and challenges we face on a daily basis"!!! BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you so much for talking straight to me tonight Leonardo. God knew I needed to hear what you had to say! I’m letting go of my fear and doubt and trusting God tonight as my newborn grandson has to have a CT scan of his head to see if there is a problem. Holding on to Jesus tonight Would so appreciate prayers.
Thank you Leonardo, “God walks on the things that drown you” as of this week I’ve given up my hurt, my pain and my anger from my past. I’ve given it all to Him and pray with Simon “don’t let me go”. I pray that I can keep my eyes on Him so I don’t drown. Love you and your comments are just so beautiful and inspired. ❤❤❤
I have been following you for a couple of years now, came across your feed and was curious that you were a non Christian,I watched as I seen God work in your life!that night you were doing the song about “so will “I, I looked over and saw my 3year old grandson with his hands in the air,eyes closed,worshiping!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE CHOSEN! I have watched it at least 50 times, I LOVE how you discuss it,and how much empathy you have for people! When you lost it when the woman with the issue of blood was healed, I was so moved by that. The way you analyze the show is very heartfelt.thank you for doing this,you have been an inspiration to me! I look forward to seeing your reaction tonight, it will be a blessing to me!
If you’ve ever been in a storm in your life, crying that same prayer… this scene will wreck you. The story never affected me before this portrayal. I was a crying mess when I saw it.
It took a couple of re-watches to realize that it was Dasha, Eden's mom, who went with her to the temple and later it is both Dasha and Salomi who walk her into the water.
Dude!!! Leo…you have been on it Sir 👌🏾 You say that you’re new to this walk, but let me tell you something… the wisdom that flows from your mouth is spirit-led. Thank you for taking the time to provide an outlet for people to do some introspection. It’s a gift that should not be taken for granted. 🤗
I love to watch this show thru your eyes and commentary. I see the Holly Spirit giving you wisdom and knowledge, and seeing him transform your spiritual self with him and sharing them with us all listening. Listing to you share how he speaks to your soul, Beautiful!!! God Bless, Grace and peace to you and your family. You have blessed me with your words coming from your heart from the fathers blessings to each other. Love you Brother in Christ our Lord.
@Leonardo Torres - I'm so glad you followed God's lead to start this channel - and begin exploring the amazing Savior! I love hearing how passionate you are for Him now!
Leo you are something. You are more than enough. Thank you to you and your beautiful family for this channel and your word’s of wisdom and understanding. To you many blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Leonardo, I’ve been following your channel since the “Reckless love” reaction video… I’m always amazed about how you learn The Way of the Messiah so fast. Although you said you are not well versed in Scriptures, the Spirit is teaching right to your heart.
1:48:00 No Leonardo u are not Nobody! You are wonderfully and beautifully made as Gods image, a child of God like all of us. I know what you mean by saying that but please know this❤ (Sorry for my bad English)😅 Bless you, you are doing great. I love ur reactions on these episodes. And u made me cry at the end😂
I am so grateful I found your channel. The Chosen and YT channels such as yours enrich and give me hope. I am alone in a sea of unbelievers, so the lesson in this Episode hits to the bone. Eyes on Jesus! ❤
When Rabbi Yussif said a joyful Psalm wouldn't be truthful, or what Eden needed, it reminded me of this verse from Proverbs 25. 20 Whoever sings songs to a heavy heart is like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, and like vinegar on soda. Sometimes we need the time to grief and deal with the emotions before we can come through to the other side.
Last year I became aware that I was emotionally numb and I didn't understand why but I was able to trace it back to 2015-2016 when it started I'd had 3 miscarriages. The first one shattered my world and I grieved so heavily for months but as I came out of it my life was radically changed in a good way and then the 2nd and 3rd happened and I remembered how dark it had gotten through the first one fear took over and I didn't want to feel that soul crushing darkness again so I just put it away and went on like everything was fine until it wasn't and everything started falling apart. I remember spending months asking God why I was numb and to help me fix it and not let my heart be hardened and then this past December the dam broke and it all fell on me like a ton of bricks, I understood I was suffering from grief and just as quickly as I understood I heard God say it's time to let go and I could feel it all taken away. The last few months have been a journey of identifying emotions relearning how to let myself feel and work through them. It's particularly difficult with negative emotions because I have the habit of metaphorically running away and hiding from it, after 7 years of only feeling numb it's overwhelming to feel again but God is giving me the courage to face it or sometimes just be still and let it pass. We absolutely need to grieve or like me we can get stuck in the middle and that suffering can seep out and poison everything around us and rob us of the joys in life. I don't yet know why I needed to take the hard road but one truth I'm always reminded of is this is a part of the refining process to make me more valuable that rubies and soon I'll look back at this time a know the bigger picture of what I'm being prepared for.
I have loved watching the Chosen with you. Love your gentle humble spirit. Looking forward to watching future series with you and your sweet wife. God bless. Watching from Neebing Ontario Canada. 🙏🙏
Beautiful what you said I’ve watched you before but never heard you say this. Amazing how many times I’ve watched this episode and never heard you speak this. God bless you and your family.
The different soils are also the different places in our hearts. That's also Simon and that part of his heart he has not given over. We all have those different levels of soil in our hearts.
The timing of this episode couldn't have been any better. I've been going through a lot of stuff for the past eight months or so, it has been the darkest time in my entire life. I got the chance to see it in theaters and it was everything I could do to not just break down at the walking on the water scene. Simon's questions were similar to questions I've had over these past eight months. I've been a follower of Christ since I was a teenager, and I grew up in the church as a whole... yet, I was still struggling with questions and frustrations with God that I thought I'd never truly struggle with. It was like these words were being spoken directly to me. And you know what? After I saw it, not only did it create a paradigm shift in the way I viewed the trials but I kid you not: a week later, that storm suddenly left just as quickly as it did when Jesus said, "Peace, be still!" Are things perfect for me now? No, but I'm finally at peace after rowing on the sea for eight months, I finally feel His embrace after sinking under those waves. And like Job, who Shmuel mentioned, I feel like God is blessing me beyond what I've lost because I refused to curse God and die (even though I DID have a lot of frustrations with Him), I knew in my heart that He was doing something even though it absolutely SUCKED being in that moment of pain. This episode wasn't the ONLY thing that helped me with these struggles but man, it was the turning point of this struggle and, if I'm being honest, perhaps it was the turning point of my life!
Brother I feel you too, and I've been in this hell for awhile now, of what feels to be lowest point in my life, this scene just made me bawl my eyes out, even more of a coincidence my name is Simon, I've never felt anything like it.
@@snackyxchan So sorry to hear about your circumstances but it's good to know that scene resonated with others going through their darkest times! And wow, that can't be a coincidence, knowing how God works!
Leonardo, I have followed your work now since Season 1. I’m so pleased and in sync with your passion and insights about the Chosen production. Your humility and love for Jesus Christ is a great witness and encouragement. Bless you and your family.
I am very happy to have watched this with you and your observations and realizations. I think there has not been a single episode that has not had me tear up either with sadness or joy. Good discussion dude. Thanks, Leonardo.
Amen on all your reactions and Amen to you prayer. The prayers of the righteous are effective🙏. I'm speechless Leo. The LORD's really been growing you and you are now slowly becoming His mouthpiece 🙏 will keep praying for you 🙏
Thank you Leo for sharing the series of The Chosen.I just binged watched all 3 seasons.Not only did I enjoy the episodes I enjoyed your words and wisdom also. Looking forward to season 4 and maybe I can join in on the lives! God Bless you and your family!
So beautiful how Psalm 77 is woven through all of this episode, time & time again! It's also worth looking at the Bible books of 1st and 2nd Peter, as in them Peter (aka Simon) mentions what he's learnt about dealing with temptations!
Just FYI Leo ..the seeds are the people, and the different ground conditions are life circumstances or distractions...congrats on your tiny new family member.
I found the Chosen a few weeks ago and watched it and was absolutely astounded at the numerous messages God had in there that felt specific to me and things that are or have happened in my life. Then I saw your reactions to this series and was amazed to see how it spoke to you and so many others as well. (On a side note, one of the sweetest and precious times I've seen this series effect on others was one video of a stadium filled with Madagascar orphans watching the series in their own language, so beautiful!) There have been multiple times that something you've observed or discussed or even your own discovery of what God is saying to you has blessed me or spoken to me. Specifically today, you saying that God walks on what drowns us... that hit home hard! Thank you for saying yes to God and using this channel to honor Him and make Him famous (as the Skit Guys say 😀) I hope you plan to live stream season 4 when it releases because I will definitely be joining the live chat with you! God bless!
Thanks go out to you and Erika! Always watch your dedication showing the episodes and explanations of each one. From my familia to your familia. Blessings
I had watched this episode once and when I watched it with you just now, I saw more especially as Simon was walking on the water and Eden was doing the purification. This is my totally favorite episode so far! They are doing such a wonderful job of bringing this to life. ❤
Thank you Leonardo I love your comments and reactionsI am Yolanta in my sixties 7years ago I had a stroke and have been paralised on my left side since then The Chosen is helping me every day to go on in this broken life
Thank you so much for having that revelation of God walking over things that drowns us...I am drowning and sinking right now. My heart has been so troubled and overwhelmed, but that revelation brings so much peace! Thank You Father for allowing Your son to show us how to come to Your table and into Your Kingdom. Thank You for the stopping the storms at the exact right time!
He does so much in their (our) presence and yet there is still doubt as to what He can do, oh my, "oh we of little faith"!😒 Look at their faces in amazement. How many miracles has He done in their presence (for us), did He not do one just yesterday with the man's leg - really short memory 🙂
I have loved watching you become a Follower of Yeshua. I used to watch when you were not a Chrisitan responding to music videos. When you were talkng about the boy giving his loaves and fish it reminded me of a song Mama used to sing: " Little is much when God is in it. Labor not for wealth or fame. There's a crown and you can win it, if you go in Jesus' Name."
Oh, boy Leonardo, I just love your "childlike faith", the innocent look on your face, especially when you're pondering your words to say next. Then when you start speaking, it's like pouring out a refreshing take that we did not see. Beautiful, just beautiful. Never mind, you know the Scriptures enough to expound on it! Its not how much you know, but it's what you do with what you know. Shalom, my Brother🙂 Stopping by from Canada👋
Leo, you'd enjoy the behind the scenes of how/where the storm scenes were filmed. Part of this is in Dallas' livestream that launches this episode, another part in the aftershow to this episode.
Leo! I first discovered your channel when you were reacting to popular worship songs/sets as a non-Christian. I was filled with so much joy when I came across this video and read FORMER non-Christian! God bless you brother, a late welcome home, and may God’s peace follow you the rest of your days!
I only just found ur channel and thought yeah...I want to see a non Christians reaction to this show. I was so happy when this title jumped out at me. "Former non-Christian"... this show brought me closer to the Lord, too. I think of Dallas as a modern day prophet...and with him I know the Lord is well pleased ❤
I love how Jesus immediately n always respected others' rights to believe in their own gods n religion, n never berated or shamed or belittled them... he just said, "he fears his career endeavors (might not have the quote exactly right) might not be favored by the gods of his religion." Such a class act all the way!!! A true God among men, in every sense of the term!
At some point, God lets you fall, but remember one thing, that He will not let you drown. He will stretch out His hand to you, all you have to do is grab His hand.
I know I'm late to the game with this upload being almost a year old but....I get something from this episode every time I watch it and I've watched it several times now. Your reaction has revealed more nuggets....dots that didn't connect before so I feel I should say thank you for that. May God bless you and yours ❤
I was a Luke warm Christian. I watched the chosen. I was hungry to know the Bible which was a foreign word. I found Tim Mackie on UA-cam. He will teach you like no other. The Bible now makes sense. Please please watch a few of his lectures 🙏🏾
I dunno why I cried watching this today in July 2023. There were SO many beautiful moments- from Eden healing from her loss (which I can personally relate to) and her also being aware and sensitive to her husband's grief and need for healing, to the insight you shared about the people being that very soil in which Jesus was planting the seed of The Word of God, to giving Jesus our best even if we think it's unworthy or not good enough...Glory to The Most High God, whonis not too high to be concerned with the things that concern us. Blessed be the True and Living God Whose Word is life even and especially in the times of loss, grief, hurt and pain. Hallelujah to His Holy name. AMEN
I have not seen any of them in the theaters, but I watched it on your channel. And loved every episode. Looking forward to the last episode on season three.
There you are! From Baja California! looked for you for days! I love sharing the Chosen with you and the familia! What is funny, I am an old gringa who fell in love with Mexico, the land of the peninsular, and the Mexican people. I moved here. It is my home now for 20 years. I love the heart you bring to your experience of The Chosen. I am not a Christian, but I love Jesus so much, He called for my return. Oh, when Simon Peter sobbed, "Dont' let me go! Don't let me go! ' in the arms of his Master, I sob every time I watch it. And I expect to do the same with you tonight. Thank you Leo for your heart.
One of my favorite parts of this episode (that is not in the Bible; all of the biblical scenes are wonderful) is very small. Anyway, It is the look on Shmuel’s face when his fellow Pharisees spits on the Greek man, and obsessively questioning people about eating with Gentiles. My hope is that he is realizing that Jesus is actually the Messiah, or at least that some of his fellow Pharisees are not really paying attention to the right things.
That was key to me as well! It built on some of the uncertainty Shmuel had been indicating along the way with the conversations in the carriage. Because you can see that Shmuel really cares about seeking what is God honoring, and recognizes that his fellow Pharisees seem to have a different goal.
I love these videos you’re making! They’re the perfect thing to check out after the episode airs and we’re sad it’s over and want to watch it again with someone else & think/talk about it more in-depth. In some ways I look forward to these videos more than the show itself! Waiting patiently for season 4 - during this time, we can check out your other videos! I love the music ones too where it feels like we’re listening with a friend, and you talk about what you like about it, what it reminds you of, and sometimes how they could have made it better ;). See you soon - keep resting & taking care of yourself & your family first though! Praying for you during this busy & challenging time. Taking care of newborns is not easy!!
Just to add, the part where you discuss about Being emptied of world dirt, burdens. Psalm 51. I like it better in NIV translation 😊 but when I'm burdened and I feel like I'm covered in sin, I go back to God's Grace to wash me of all of it through Jesus 🙏😊
“God walks over what drowns us.”
Leo, that was amazing!!!
I was just going to say that! Hit me hard!
The Chosen has a new T -shirt! Jesus/God walks on the things that would drown you! ❤ so very profound, Leonardo!!
Oh yea ...that was a little a-ha moment for me too😊
You said, "Jesus walks on top of the things that drown us" This. This. Beautiful.
I was NOT expecting to hear something that profound when watching this. Not only that but it is oddly exactly what I needed to hear
This was absolutely my favorite episode of the Chosen.. the boat scene with Simon and Peter left me in a puddle of tears.
Me too. I think don’t let me go is a cry inside of me that I never uttered out loud. I’m telling God that. “In this world you shall have trials and tribulations but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.” Jesus
My husband and I got to be in the crowd at the feeding of the 5000. It was amazing to be there! I just love this episode in every way! May be the best ever!
Thank you for going. I hope you will be there when the Lord honours our faith
Where did they shoot that?
@@Perktube1 North Texas
I was there, as well. I represented a widow who made a long journey to see Christ and hear Him speak a word into her life. Very real to life.
@@janetstephens9563That scene was here in Texas?! Really?! You better not be lying.
Leonardo, I'm telling you, watching March 1, 2024, all I can say is that YOU ARE ANOINTED, Yah gives you the right words to say to us by way of an encouragement. ALWAYS "hitting the nail on the head". You hit me HARD, when you said that "God walks on the water" of our lives. That just took me away, tears, upon tears, it's as if I was drinking in everything you said. Continue to make yourself available to HIM. Shalom, Shalom!
I started following your reactions from season 1 and am anxiously waiting for your reaction to season 4. For the first time l have understood more from/about scriptures based on your personal experiences and your sharing. Indeed, the parable of the workers in the vineyard comes to play
Matthew 20:1-16.
GOD bless you and family.
Leonardo, I hope you have started to prepare to comment on Season 4, Episode 1, can't wait. You are sooo gifted by God when you dissect the episodes. Can't wait for you to start encouraging us.

For a "non Christian" u definitely get it better than most Christians mannnnnnn God bless u when u fully know his word u will be unstopable!!

Ty for this interaction. Some people have nobody to discuss this show with. But prayerfully believing otherwise in the future

I look so forward to your sharing. insights and beautiful spirit
Episode 5, 7 & 8 are my 3 favorite episodes of all season 3
Thank you Leo for sharing the series of The Chosen.I just binged watched all 3 seasons.Not only did I enjoy the episodes I enjoyed your words and wisdom also. Looking forward to season 4 and maybe I can join in on the lives! God Bless you and your family!
So beautiful how Psalm 77 is woven through all of this episode, time & time again!
It's also worth looking at the Bible books of 1st and 2nd Peter, as in them Peter (aka Simon) mentions what he's learnt about dealing with temptations!
Just FYI Leo ..the seeds are the people, and the different ground conditions are life circumstances or distractions...congrats on your tiny new family member.
Oh wow! You and Gaius exhaled at the same time, I thought it was him for a moment. I knew I wasn't but I had to rewatch it! That is amazing!
Donna says I always feel the love. Thank Leonardo,Erika, and precious little bambino.
I found the Chosen a few weeks ago and watched it and was absolutely astounded at the numerous messages God had in there that felt specific to me and things that are or have happened in my life. Then I saw your reactions to this series and was amazed to see how it spoke to you and so many others as well. (On a side note, one of the sweetest and precious times I've seen this series effect on others was one video of a stadium filled with Madagascar orphans watching the series in their own language, so beautiful!)
There have been multiple times that something you've observed or discussed or even your own discovery of what God is saying to you has blessed me or spoken to me. Specifically today, you saying that God walks on what drowns us... that hit home hard! Thank you for saying yes to God and using this channel to honor Him and make Him famous (as the Skit Guys say 😀) I hope you plan to live stream season 4 when it releases because I will definitely be joining the live chat with you! God bless!
I love what you said - God walks on the things that drown you!
Thank you LeonardoI love your comments💚💚💚🌺🌺💚🥰
i amthinking about joy, he can give you fullness of joy
Wow, what an insight, "God walks on the things that are drowning you."!
Thanks go out to you and Erika! Always watch your dedication showing the episodes and explanations of each one. From my familia to your familia. Blessings
Yes Leo God bless you for chering the move. ❤
I had watched this episode once and when I watched it with you just now, I saw more especially as Simon was walking on the water and Eden was doing the purification. This is my totally favorite episode so far! They are doing such a wonderful job of bringing this to life. ❤
Thank you Leonardo I love your comments and reactionsI am Yolanta in my sixties
7years ago I had a stroke and have been paralised on my left side since then The Chosen is helping me every day to go on in this broken life
Thank you so much for having that revelation of God walking over things that drowns us...I am drowning and sinking right now. My heart has been so troubled and overwhelmed, but that revelation brings so much peace! Thank You Father for allowing Your son to show us how to come to Your table and into Your Kingdom. Thank You for the stopping the storms at the exact right time!
He does so much in their (our) presence and yet there is still doubt as to what He can do, oh my, "oh we of little faith"!😒 Look at their faces in amazement. How many miracles has He done in their presence (for us), did He not do one just yesterday with the man's leg - really short memory 🙂
So deep and right analysis
I have loved watching you become a Follower of Yeshua. I used to watch when you were not a Chrisitan responding to music videos. When you were talkng about the boy giving his loaves and fish it reminded me of a song Mama used to sing: " Little is much when God is in it. Labor not for wealth or fame. There's a crown and you can win it, if you go in Jesus' Name."
I always missed live chat, hello six days late, I did see these episodes in theaters. Greetings from Coos Bay, Oregon
Oh, boy Leonardo, I just love your "childlike faith", the innocent look on your face, especially when you're pondering your words to say next. Then when you start speaking, it's like pouring out a refreshing take that we did not see. Beautiful, just beautiful. Never mind, you know the Scriptures enough to expound on it! Its not how much you know, but it's what you do with what you know. Shalom, my Brother🙂 Stopping by from Canada👋
No matter how little of faith you have, even though you are drowning, God will pull you up. 🙏🏼
Leo, you'd enjoy the behind the scenes of how/where the storm scenes were filmed. Part of this is in Dallas' livestream that launches this episode, another part in the aftershow to this episode.
God bless you too for your wonderful ministry through your words and understanding of God' word!
I saw this title Former NonChristian....welcome to the family of God!!! This is an answered prayer. 🙏💗💗💗
This show is amazing, can’t get enough. Now we wait for more. Guess I’ll just rewatch from beginning with you. Thank you LT . God Bless you
That made my heart respond and leaked from my eyes.
How are speaking me so much? Much love & God's blessings upon you!
Leo! I first discovered your channel when you were reacting to popular worship songs/sets as a non-Christian. I was filled with so much joy when I came across this video and read FORMER non-Christian! God bless you brother, a late welcome home, and may God’s peace follow you the rest of your days!
I only just found ur channel and thought yeah...I want to see a non Christians reaction to this show. I was so happy when this title jumped out at me. "Former non-Christian"... this show brought me closer to the Lord, too. I think of Dallas as a modern day prophet...and with him I know the Lord is well pleased ❤
This made me watch Oceans” over and over!
A Faith gift from God for each of the disciples!
The lady is Dasha, Eden's mother. Salome is Big James and John's mother, Zebedee's wife, who spoke to Eden earlier 🙂
Absolutely must see on the big screen!
I love how Jesus immediately n always respected others' rights to believe in their own gods n
religion, n never berated or shamed or belittled them... he just said, "he fears his career endeavors (might not have the quote exactly right) might not be favored by the gods of his religion." Such a class act all the way!!! A true God among men, in every sense of the term!
Thank you Leo for this rewatch. It's amazing how God can speak through things and reminders when we go back yo remember blessings.
At some point, God lets you fall, but remember one thing, that He will not let you drown. He will stretch out His hand to you, all you have to do is grab His hand.
I know I'm late to the game with this upload being almost a year old but....I get something from this episode every time I watch it and I've watched it several times now. Your reaction has revealed more nuggets....dots that didn't connect before so I feel I should say thank you for that. May God bless you and yours ❤
The crowd being fed shot looks like a scene at Woodstock. 🙂
12 baskets because 1 for every disciple to carry to distribute the food. Each can only carry n serve from 1.
I was a Luke warm Christian. I watched the chosen. I was hungry to know the Bible which was a foreign word. I found Tim Mackie on UA-cam. He will teach you like no other. The Bible now makes sense. Please please watch a few of his lectures 🙏🏾
Thank you LEO FOR SHARING THE. WORD HE HAS CHOSEN YOU BE BLESSED ❤❤
When the wind and waves are coming, You shelter me.
Even though I'm in the storm, the storm is not in me.
Thanks!
I dunno why I cried watching this today in July 2023. There were SO many beautiful moments- from Eden healing from her loss (which I can personally relate to) and her also being aware and sensitive to her husband's grief and need for healing, to the insight you shared about the people being that very soil in which Jesus was planting the seed of The Word of God, to giving Jesus our best even if we think it's unworthy or not good enough...Glory to The Most High God, whonis not too high to be concerned with the things that concern us. Blessed be the True and Living God Whose Word is life even and especially in the times of loss, grief, hurt and pain. Hallelujah to His Holy name. AMEN
The “Drummer Boy” you might be talking about is Phil Wickham . It is my all time favorite version.
I have not seen any of them in the theaters, but I watched it on your channel. And loved every episode. Looking forward to the last episode on season three.
Gramjan here. been watching you for months. Love your input an your sincere responses.
Sometimes people are so hurt others should lift them up in prayers
There you are! From Baja California! looked for you for days! I love sharing the Chosen with you and the familia! What is funny, I am an old gringa who fell in love with Mexico, the land of the peninsular, and the Mexican people. I moved here. It is my home now for 20 years. I love the heart you bring to your experience of The Chosen. I am not a Christian, but I love Jesus so much, He called for my return.
Oh, when Simon Peter sobbed, "Dont' let me go! Don't let me go! ' in the arms of his Master, I sob every time I watch it. And I expect to do the same with you tonight. Thank you Leo for your heart.
I cried when you said God walks above all !!! Please pray for me. I am sinking in addiction and failure.
i get you....reading the wordsof christ ..thered words in my bible...is my favorite..as a child the stories gave me the best teaching
One of my favorite parts of this episode (that is not in the Bible; all of the biblical scenes are wonderful) is very small. Anyway, It is the look on Shmuel’s face when his fellow Pharisees spits on the Greek man, and obsessively questioning people about eating with Gentiles. My hope is that he is realizing that Jesus is actually the Messiah, or at least that some of his fellow Pharisees are not really paying attention to the right things.
That was key to me as well! It built on some of the uncertainty Shmuel had been indicating along the way with the conversations in the carriage. Because you can see that Shmuel really cares about seeking what is God honoring, and recognizes that his fellow Pharisees seem to have a different goal.
Thank You!❣❣❣
I love these videos you’re making!
They’re the perfect thing to check out after the episode airs and we’re sad it’s over and want to watch it again with someone else & think/talk about it more in-depth. In some ways I look forward to these videos more than the show itself!
Waiting patiently for season 4 - during this time, we can check out your other videos! I love the music ones too where it feels like we’re listening with a friend, and you talk about what you like about it, what it reminds you of, and sometimes how they could have made it better ;). See you soon - keep resting & taking care of yourself & your family first though! Praying for you during this busy & challenging time. Taking care of newborns is not easy!!
He makes all things Possible! Absolutly!🔥🕎🔥🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Just to add, the part where you discuss about Being emptied of world dirt, burdens.
Psalm 51. I like it better in NIV translation 😊 but when I'm burdened and I feel like I'm covered in sin, I go back to God's Grace to wash me of all of it through Jesus 🙏😊
