The Chosen Goes Global: James Barnett on Come and See’s Mission
Podcasts > The Common Good
The idea of “the common good” has a rich history within the Christian church. It’s the notion that, as we pursue Jesus in our lives and in the lives of others, we are fulfilling God’s purposes for His creation. This pursuit can be messy. It means rolling up our sleeves and creating space for hard conversations about real issues that impact our lives. Things like parenting, marriage, finances, politics, art, and culture. On The Common Good, Brian From creates space to have these conversations, to sit with the big questions that we all have, to sometimes disagree, but to always look for the chance to create common good, by following after Jesus. Brian welcome listeners to join them in these conversations, to bring their own questions, hopes, and struggles, and to ultimately share in a journey to see God’s design for all of us fulfilled.

Brian From talks with James Barnett, CEO of Come and See, the nonprofit behind The Chosen, about the vision to finish all seven seasons and translate the series into 600 languages so it can be shared around the world for free. Barnett shares powerful stories of the show’s global impact—from unexpected conversions to discipleship opportunities in places far beyond the U.S.—and explains what viewers can expect as the series moves toward the crucifixion and resurrection. They also address a common criticism head-on: why The Chosen isn’t a replacement for Scripture, but a storytelling tool meant to point people back to the Bible and deeper faith.
