‘God Friended Me’ TV shows; CBS renews it
CBS’ new TV show “God Friended Me” was warmly received by the public last year and now the network reveals it’s the second-most-watched new series on their Sunday roster.
Averaging 10 million viewers, according to Nielsen and CBS, “God Friended Me” takes the top spot as the most-watched scripted series on Sundays.
“We’re thrilled with how ‘God Friended Me’ has performed on Sundays. It’s one of the top three new series on television, has improved its time period significantly, and continues a long tradition of prestige dramas for CBS on the night,” Kelly Kahl, president of CBS Entertainment.
Thom Sherman, senior executive vice president of Programming, commented, “Our amazing cast and producers have done a wonderful job of bringing this series to life each week with humorous and inspirational storylines. Viewers have clearly embraced our characters and the positive message the show delivers.”
The series has now become CBS’ fourth freshman show renewed for a second season. The other shows are dramas, including “FBI,” “Magnum P.I.” and comedy “The Neighborhood.” The renewal of “God Friended Me” was initially delayed because of ongoing talks over business points between CBS and the spiritual drama’s lead studio, Warner Bros TV, Nellie Andreeva reported.
“God Friended Me” tells the story of an atheist who receives a friend request from God.
According to the series’ synopsis, “Miles is an outspoken atheist who, ironically, receives a friend request on social media from God. When he accepts it, Miles is led to Cara Bloom ⏤ an online journalist who also receives a friend request from the ‘God Account.’ This experience transforms Miles and Cara into agents of change in the lives of those around him. Deep down, though, Miles is still convinced that the whole thing is an elaborate hoax. Until he can actually prove that, Miles is content with playing along and changing as many lives as he can.”
Miles’ father, a pastor, tries to convince his son to return to his Christian faith and stop pushing atheism on his radio program, which he says is leading people to have no hope in life.
“God Friended Me” stars Brandon Micheal Hall , Joe Morton , Suraj Sharma, Violett Beane, and Javicia Leslie.
The cast of the new CBS show says the series explores all sides of faith and science as the plot follows the young atheist whose beliefs begin to be challenged after he receives a friend request from God.
The cast of the series shared what they believe viewers will get from watching the show.
“Is there or is there not a God? That conversation is part of what this whole show is all about,” actor Morton, who plays the show’s pastor, explained in the clip.
Lead actor Hall believes it touches “on a subject” that he considers very “sacred.” Supporting actor Sharma says the show “crisscrosses conversations about belief, faith, God and science.
Directed by Marcos Siega, “God Friended Me” was written by Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt. The drama airs on Sundays at 8:30 p.m. EST.
Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, caught attention this month for powerful comments he made about Jesus and faith during a concert at Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania.
Before belting out the band’s song “Away From the Sun” at the show on Aug. 23, Arnold told the audience he started feeling compelled two years ago to share an important message with fans during his performances.
He then asked for just a few moments to tell the thousands gathered that God loves them, according to PennLive.com. It was a truly moving monologue.
“I feel like I can identify with this song more than most of our songs,” he said, calling “Away From the Sun” his favorite of the band’s ballads. “This world surrounds by a message we’ll never be good enough, we’ll never be strong enough, we’ll never be beautiful enough, we’ll never be rich enough.”
Arnold wasn’t done there, calling out a “lie” he believes is perpetuated on social media and in other facets of life: that we’ll never be truly loved and that we’ll never “win.”
“My friends, I just want to take a second to tell you — that’s an absolute lie,” he said. “You are loved. You are enough, and you will win. Not only can you win, but you will win. You’ll always be enough for one reason, and that’s because Jesus Christ loves you.”
Despite the daily failures and struggles each person faces, Arnold said each individual is still deeply loved by God. He then proclaimed, “Repeat after me: I am the one that Jesus loves.”
These proclamations were met with cheers and claps, with the audience repeating his words.
Other online videos and posts show Arnold is no stranger to sharing his faith on stage, with the singer offering similar statements during other 3 Doors Down shows.
“Many prayers for all the kids headed back school,” he wrote in a recent Instagram post, sharing an image with text from Deuteronomy 31:6. The verse reads, “The Lord your God goes with you.”

The world’s number one crowd funding series ‘The Chosen’ began sales for its Christmas special on the birth of Jesus.
It’s the first of the series franchise to go to the big screen. It will play nationwide via Fathom Events.
Tickets were first offered during a livestream Tuesday night from series Creator, Writer and Director, Dallas Jenkins. Following the live stream, tickets are still available at Fathom Events’ website.
Demand was so great producers and event planners had to expand their reach.
Christmas With The Chosen: The Messengers broke Fathom Events’ record with $1.5 million in sales in the first 12 hours,” said Ray Nutt, CEO of Fathom Events.
“Originally slated to premiere in 1079 theaters, we’ve already added 450+ locations and thousands of screens to satisfy demand, and anticipate these numbers will continue to grow,” he continued.
Nutt says he expects the movie to be the biggest hit of the season.
“‘Christmas With The Chosen: The Messengers will be the Christmas event of 2021, and we are elated to bring it to the big screen so it may be seen by audiences nationwide,” said Fathom CEO Nutt.
“When we decided to do a special Christmas episode, we knew it would be the ideal moment to get this on the big screen,” said Dallas Jenkins. “It’s the first chance Chosen fans have had to gather all over the country, so we intend to make it worth it. And with all the incredible musicians assembled, this is a perfect event for inviting friends.”
Some of those Christian artists and groups include Phil Wickham, Maverick City Music, For King and Country, Brandon Lake, Cain, Leanna Crawford, Jordan Feliz, Matt Maher and more.
Shot entirely in secret, Christmas With The Chosen: The Messengers shows the birth of Christ through the eyes of Mary and Joseph and features actors from ‘The Chosen’ series including Austin Reed Alleman (Nathaniel), Giavani Cairo (Thaddeus), Luke Dimyan (Judas), Lara Silva (Eden).
Details for the opening on December 1 across the nation are at TheChosen.tv/Christmas.
‘The Chosen’ television series, produced by Loaves & Fishes Productions and distributed by Angel Studios, completed a second season earlier this year and remains the No.1 highest crowd-funded project ever.
Producers report it is consistantly ranked in the top 20 entertainment apps and has already been translated into 50 languages. It’s free to watch and is funded by viewers choosing to “pay it forward” after watching with a gift toward future seasons.
