HEY THE CHOSEN FAN!

AN INVITATION

We're very excited about The Chosen, and we suspect you are too. It's a very interesting series. As Alongsiders, we want to create material that helps you and your youth group to go further, to apply the lessons of The Chosen, to get to know Jesus better. We're creating this material to help you - and so we want to know if it helps you, hence this invitation.

What is the invitation?
And what's the question?

Would you like to watch an episode with your kids and give us some feedback?

Actually, it's quite simple. Just organize the meeting as planned, but at the end, you, the person in charge, go through a short questionnaire (4-5 min) and ask the participants to fill in a short questionnaire too (3-4 min). The questionnaires are digital. Below you'll find links you can easily share for this purpose.

Instructions:

Popcorn, Icebreaker / Introduction

To get things started, ask the teens an introductory question:

When I say Jesus, what comes to your mind?
- (follow-up questions in case they don’t have anything to say)What type of personality do you think he had?
- Do you think the way you picture Jesus in your head affects how you pray or interact with God?

We are going to watch Episode 2 or 3 of Season 1 of The Chosen, a series that brings to life the stories of Jesus and His close friends. This show gives us alook into Jesus' life, told through the eyes of those who were right there with Him. It's all about diving deeper into the stories of Jesus and the people who knew Him best.Everything you see is based on what's written in the Bible and history.

The writers of The Chosen use artistic imagination to help us understand better, but everything is meant to stay true to what the Bible teaches us. You won’t find every scene or conversation in this episode in the Bible, but it is meant to help you visualize what could have happened.

Peanuts, Discussion questions (reflect together)

There are no right or wrong answers. We really just want to know what you are thinking and feeling after watching this.

Use questions from the Alongsiders Discussion Guide

Online Surveys

Finally, have everyone spread out around the room if they are able to (so they don’t copy each other’s answers) and share the link to the surveysvia WhatsApp. Ask them to complete it on their own, informing them that their responses will be completely anonymous. No one will know what they’ve said. We are looking for their honest opinion about The Chosen.
