Dallas Jenkins, creator of the hit show "The Chosen," shared his journey as a filmmaker at Brigham Young University's forum. Despite early success and a passion for legitimacy, Jenkins learned the importance of letting go of others' opinions and embracing God's will.

Dallas Jenkins, creator of the highly successful television series "The Chosen," recently shared his experiences as a filmmaker at Brigham Young University (BYU). Jenkins' message of embracing God's will and navigating failure resonated deeply with the student audience.
Jenkins began his career with early success, directing short films and documentaries. However, he aspired for greater recognition and legitimacy in the film industry. He sought validation from others, often compromising his own values to conform to industry standards.
As Jenkins pursued external validation, he felt a growing disconnect from his true purpose. He realized that he had been focusing more on pleasing others than following God's guidance. Through a process of self-reflection and prayer, he learned to let go of his need for approval and instead embraced God's will for his life.
Jenkins' transformation led to the creation of "The Chosen," a groundbreaking series that tells the story of Jesus Christ and his disciples. Despite facing skepticism and criticism for its faith-based content, the show has become a global phenomenon, reaching over 400 million viewers worldwide.
Jenkins' speech at BYU emphasized the importance of failure and faith. He shared that his greatest lessons and opportunities for growth came from embracing his failures. He encouraged students to trust in God's plan, even when it does not align with their own expectations.
