Dallas Jenkins, Jonathan Roumie Ask for Prayer as They Film Sacred Crucifixion Scenes

Filming is underway for “The Chosen: Season Six,” and as the cast and crew prepare to shoot one of the most critical scenes of this season, they are asking fans for one thing— prayers.
The show’s creator and director, Dallas Jenkins, hopped on social media recently to announce that the show’s production is underway in Italy and they are filming one of the most critical scenes of the season: the crucifixion.
“I’m filming and I’ve got some pretty intense crucifixion stuff this week, including mostly night shooting,” he explained. “So it’s going to be an intense week, very difficult. So please keep us in mind and in your prayers for that.”
Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus in the popular series, also reached out to his fans asking for prayer.
In an Instagram post earlier this month, the actor wrote, “My dear Friends…This month, I’m filming one of the most sacred, painful, and defining moments in all of human history: the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.”
“I’d be lying if I said it’s ‘business as usual’. Or easy. Or ‘fun scenes to film.’ It’s not. It’s heavy. It’s humbling. And it’s holy. But in preparation for, and amidst this profound responsibility, I’ll be uniting myself more intentionally to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the very heart that broke for us,” he continued.
Roumie added, “If you feel called, please continue to keep me in your prayers. Myself, our cast, and crew need them now more than ever. It’s been a period time of mental, physical, and spiritual warfare.”
Much of the series has been leading up to this pivotal moment.
As CBN News reported, the monumentally popular TV series about the life of Jesus and His disciples was created with the end in mind.
During season five they focused on the Last Supper and Judas’ betrayal of Jesus. Season 6 focuses on the crucifixion, and season 7, the last season, will focus on Christ’s resurrection.
Dallas shared that as he works to bring “the most famous moment in the Scriptures” to life, his challenge is making it a personal and intimate experience to watch.
“That’s the challenge,” he said. “Making sure that the audience still can connect with the characters, not just the size of the story.”
For now, the cast and crew are adjusting to filming in Matera, Italy.
Jenkins said he wanted to film there, instead of their normal set locations in Texas and Utah because he wanted “authenticity with the crucifixion on the backdrop of a real horizon.”
George Harrison Xanthis, who plays the apostle John, told the outlet that filming in Matera has helped his performance.
He explained that when they film on set in Texas and Utah “you do step from civilization into the ancient world, whereas here you are just always in the ancient world…It’s amazing.”
Other actors recently shared a different perspective on the experience.
Shaan Sharma, who plays Shmuel, shared during a YouTube livestream that filming the scenes has not been easy, due to pesky critters.
“What I remember about shooting this scene, for a few of us are huddled around trying to figure out what to do, is there were so many flies attacking us at that time,” he said. “Some got in my mouth and it was crazy. We didn’t see it in the shot but we were in a swarm of bugs,” he explained.
Elijah Alexander, who plays the Roman investigator Atticus Aemilius Pulcher, shared that experiencing jetlag made shooting the crucial scenes this season very difficult.
“I couldn’t sleep and I was worried about it because I want to be present and focused and putting my best foot forward from this incredible opportunity and everybody has been so emotional and bringing their A-game,” he explained. “(It’s been) beautiful to watch.”
As CBN News reported, during a 2-hour Q&A in April, Jenkins told fans that filming for the new season had already begun and crew members usually worked from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
The show’s director noted at the time the series was taking a little longer to shoot, therefore a premiere date was not “locked in.”
“Season 6 is going to take us longer to film than any season we’ve ever done, by far, so that, of course, then pushes the post-production process as well,” he explained.
The director listed a couple of reasons for the delay.
One was that the crew requested more time to edit the show.
“The process of getting these seasons to you at the cadence that we’ve been doing has been extraordinarily taxing on the team,” Jenkins said. “The quality control process has been much faster and tighter than most shows and movies. That’s caused a lot of pain, a lot of challenges.”
“The team that works on this is extraordinarily stretched thin, and so it’s just a very, very difficult process,” he continued. “They’ve been begging me to give a little bit more of a cushion. And so we’re going to be doing that for future seasons.”
Jenkins explained another reason for the delay is coordinating international logistics, including releasing the series in other languages.
“That takes a lot of time—the translation, the dubbing, the subtitling, all of that takes a very long time,” he shared. “We are trying to release as many… languages at one time as we can.”
Jenkins encouraged fans to remember that this project is not backed by a large studio production company.
“We’re not owned by some big studio. We don’t have a billion dollars at our disposal to make all this work. We’re doing this, a lot of this, from scratch, and so it just takes time, and it’s very difficult. So please be patient with us as we get through that,” he implored.
For now, fans are enjoying Season Five which was released on Amazon Prime on June 15th.
This season will be available for free on the show’s app of the same name and website beginning Sept. 13.

‘A Walking…Miracle’: Singer Should Be Dead, but Believes God Saved the Day

Christian singer Emerson Day doesn’t waste a moment when asked to reflect on the most incredible miracle she’s experienced.
Day, who recently survived a potentially deadly accident, told CBN News on the red carpet at the K-LOVE Fan Awards last month she believes God healed her.
“Recently, I was in a really bad accident and I lacerated my liver,” she said. “And they told me that I probably would not live through that — and, miraculously, I did.”
Not only did she remarkably survive, but doctors also noticed something else worth mentioning. In fact, Day went to a follow-up appointment after the accident and medical professionals were stunned by what they observed.
“They said, ‘Hey, like how many blood transfusions did you have?’” she recalled. “And I said, ‘None.’ And the guy that was looking at my paperwork, he said, ‘Well, your numbers show that you had one.’”
For her part, Day didn’t seem too stunned by the revelation, and she had the perfect response for the individuals reviewing her medical files.
“I said, ‘Well, the Heavenly Father gave me one, but I did not have one while I was in this hospital,’” she said of the transfusion.
Ultimately, the singer believes the Lord saved her as she’s now completely healthy.
“I really feel like God spared my life that day,” Day said. “And I do feel like a walking, living, breathing miracle.”
She continued, “[I’m] completely healthy … and I should not be — that’s the miracle part. I should not be, but I am.”
Day previously shared in a Facebook Reel posted Jan. 1 that she started 2024 “coming out of ICU following a hunting accident.” She had fallen 12 feet, dislocated her shoulder, and lacerated her liver.
The singer experienced what she called a “long road to recovery.”
“Despite 2024 being one of the hardest years I’ve faced, God was faithful and 2024 will go down as the year of healing,” she wrote.

Minno Launches First-Ever American Sign Language Bible Series for Kids

NASHVILLE- Minno, the #1 source of Christian content for kids, announces it will launch American Sign Language (ASL) versions of its flagship series, “Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids,” on August 8, 2025, taking groundbreaking steps in its mission to help kids experience Jesus every day, in every way. The children’s streaming platform developed the ASL programming in partnership with Bridge Multimedia, which has previously worked with PBS Kids and Google.
“We’re building the most accessible Christian kids’ media platform in the world,” said Erick Goss, CEO and Co-founder of Minno. “To our knowledge, this is the first time a Bible series for kids has ever been created in American Sign Language—and it’s just the beginning. Every child deserves the chance to experience the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the way they learn best—whether through ASL, their native language, or as a story at bedtime. No other platform is delivering faith-based content for kids at this scale or quality.”
Minno is also expanding its Spanish language offerings, which were recently added to the platform, and will soon include Portuguese. This fall, Minno will also launch the original series “Guillermo & Will,” a dual-language Spanish-English preschool series created by Emmy-nominated puppeteer Donna Kimball. Spanish-language content consistently ranks in the platform’s top 10 most-watched programming on YouTube.
The flagship series “Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids,” which currently includes 42 episodes and three 30-minute specials, continues to expand with several new features and formats including the Spanish and Portuguese language versions, a new “In the Beginning” special, several new episodes including “Daniel and the Lions,” “The Book of Songs,” and “The Family of Jesus,” American Sign Language (ASL) versions (launching Aug 8) and audio-only versions designed for bedtime, car trips and screen-free time.
Recent content additions to the platform include fan-favorite, “The Dead Sea Squirrels” from VeggieTales co-creator Mike Nawrocki, and Minno’s new originals “Micah,” “Suni the Super Unicorn,” and “God’s Greenhouse” from KidMin creator Areo Keller Donahue, whose new special “God’s Greenhouse Get Ready for Bed Special” will launch September 5.
Over the past year (2024-2025), Minno has seen incredible growth of its streaming platform and YouTube channel, positioning it as today’s leading faith-based family content platform. Significant milestones include:
Triple-digit membership growth for the Minno.com subscription-video-on-demand (SVOD) platform, propelling it into the top 1% of direct-to-consumer subscription companies.
YouTube: One million subscribers on YouTube (150% year-over-year growth), 122 million views in the past 12 months, placing Minno in top .06% of most subscribed channels on YouTube.
“This expansion is just the beginning for Minno,” said Goss. “We believe the opportunity to reach kids with high-quality Christian content during the most formative window of their lives is massive—and we’re called to meet it. We’re building a global library of faith-filled stories shaped by theologians, child development experts, children’s media specialists, and Emmy-nominated Christian creators. Our goal is nothing short of setting a new standard for what kids’ faith-based content can be—and making it accessible to families around the world.”

Top Video Game Streamer Says He’s ‘Trying to Live Biblically,’ Going to Church Every Sunday

Tyler Blevins — known as “Ninja” in the video-game-streaming world — is opening up about the “journey” of faith he and his wife, Jess, are on, revealing they have been going to church every week.
“I’m just trying to be a better person, dude,” Blevins said during a recent livestream, responding to a critic who accused him of not taking enough breaks from video games. The popular streamer said he does step away from his computer “quite often” and is trying “to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.”
“Jess and I are going through this journey, where, you know, our relationship with God and Jesus … we’re going to church every Sunday,” he said during a recent Twitch livestream.
One of Blevins’ followers commented in the chat, “Ninja giving his life to God is the biggest streamer glowup ever. Congrats brother. Welcome home.”
“Thank you,” replied the gamer. “Kinda hard to even think about my time when I wasn’t, you know what I mean?”
The 34-year-old internet star admitted there are certain things about himself he would like to change, chiefly his temper and propensity toward hypocrisy.
“I find myself being hypocritical a lot of the times, and I don’t like that about myself,” he explained. “I also look back at a lot of the things that I did in the past — now, listen, I’m not saying I regret things in the past.”
“Obviously, there are things that I do,” the streamer continued. “But, like, I can’t keep trying to better myself and trying to live biblically and also in the meanwhile tell somebody I could buy their [expletive] bank and foreclose their house.”
Blevins recently stopped playing the game “Marvel Rivals,” citing the “toxicity” of the community.
He said he is now resisting the human inclination to verbally retaliate against people who direct mean-spirited comments toward him online.
“I found it easier to just stop playing ‘Marvel’ than to … people would just get to me,” he said.
Blevins’ transparency about his faith journey comes just a few months after the celebrity briefly shared the Gospel with his fans.
“Yes, dude, Jesus is King,” he said. “I mean, and if — even if you don’t think He is — don’t judge me for it, and I won’t judge you for it, man. I do, I just feel it’s so crazy, man.”
