I respectfully disagree. There’s nothing God-honoring about displaying & defending a Pride flag that is a symbol of godlessness & sexual depravity on the set of a show about “honoring the authentic Jesus.” Also, The Chosen has seemingly allowed their cross-dressing, openly gay married camera operator to wear Pride flags, pins and other symbols on set for a while now. This show is held to a Biblical standard. They don’t get a free pass. I find no joy in calling this out but it deserves accountability.
On social media, some people were perplexed to see religious darlings such as “The Chosen” and Chick-Fil-A under fire from Christians. (The restaurant chain has a vice president of Diversity, Equality & Inclusion, news which has sparked talk of boycott from conservative Christians.) “This is a crazy world,” someone tweeted about recent headlines. “Honestly, the biggest mission field for Christians to focus on may be other Christians at this point.”
Pastor Kevin Young tweeted, “Evangelicals feel they’ve ‘brought down’ Target. Now they are harassing their own, like Chick-Fil-A & The Chosen series. … just like Jesus, who was known for boycotting sinners & third-gender eunuchs, other ethnicities, drunken weddings, & evil orgs like Rome. Oh, wait…”
