Shaan Sharma AKA ‘Shmuel’ the Pharisee gives us a look behind the scenes at his experience as part of THE CHOSEN and shares his personal relationship with Jesus Christ...at an event called "The Chosen, An Insider's view."
He is a very interesting individual and his remarks were excellent. I hope you enjoy them & share your thoughts in the comments.
The event was held in Gilbert, AZ on 9/18/23.
He was joined by actor Nick Shakoour (Zebedee) and Angel Studio President Jordan Harmon. I may post their remarks as well.
There was some outstanding music at this interfaith event. One of the songs performed is a favorite of my wife, so I included it at the end of this talk. I do not know the name of the young lady who sang it, but she was terrific.

It's good to see visionaries awakening the public to Christ's love for all.

Shmuel is such a difficult yet gradually endearing character. I think he represents more of us that we like to admit.

What a lovely man. Shaan is a beautiful spiritual person. It took 20 years for him to reach this point just as it did with others like Jonathan. So happy for his much deserved success. And yes, I can't imagine anyone else in the roles they all play. They are all brilliant performers.

Thank you so much Shaan for sharing your heart and faith. It's kind of funny that in real life all the actors playing the Pharisees are believers. I 'm stoked to see how God is putting together the puzzle pieces in the CHOSEN. Also thanks for all the work for Sag. May it prove successful. B BLESSED.

In shmuel I see a young boy, desparate for his father’s(nicodemus his teacher-who somewhat resentfully chastises him and God-whom he has only come to know thru obedience to rules a d regs)approval, attention and praise…following the rules he was taught were the path to rightousness so passionately …sharma actually brings an element of vulnerability to this character that is necessary…and I found myself praying for the salvation of all the shmuels in the world even praying that the writers would turn the heart of the character of shmuel, who is desperate for acceptance. Redemption is for all of us….even people like shmuel and judas…who do many wrong things for right reasons.

Shaan! That was beautiful! Thank you so much! Not mad on any level (SAG-AFTRA) you’re doing a good job! Thank God and His Son Jesus Christ for you and all those who know what their calling is and who are doing it. What a lucky group of people there listening to you and the others. You were so kind to them and inclusive and complimentary. I hope they take your example and amplify it in their lives to others. I could feel what was in your heart for Christ. I’m glad it’s been protected there and just as glad you felt a safe enough place there to share. What a privilege to sit with you in your holy space for a time. Shmuel is teaching us. Thank you for being the conduit. May God bless and keep you. May He continue to strenghten and guide you in your righteous endeavors. And may His Son Jesus Christ ever be there to light your way and to encourage you on … to the victory!

Watching the chosen has changed my life. I am now watching it for the 3rd time and it just makes me love Jesus more and more. I also like how the show made the apostles come alive for me and now I feel I know them personally. I was born again back in 1967, but was raised in the catholic faith. I knew somehow there was more, and I asked God to show me, and he did by a door knocker who invited me to his church where I heard the gospel and was born again. The chosen show has made me feel even closer to Jesus than ever before.

I think you will enjoy the next interview I post with the founder of Angel Studios. It's an amazing story of how Disney tried to sue them out of existence while they were producing The Chosen.

Have always loved Jesus as long as I can remember. And I understand much more at 60+ than I did at 10- . It is so important to become humble and to respect His his sacred things. The Chosen persuades more to believe so we know perfecly that it is good. More people will read the scriptures now because of The Chosen.

I am never annoyed by Shmuel. I see him as someone who really loves God, but has yet to figure out what the best way is to go about expressing that love. I also think that when it comes to Jesus, Shmuel honestly doesn’t know what to think and/or what to make of Him. At first, he is convinced that Jesus is a false prophet (and wants to stop Him), but then, because he really is a sincere man, he begins to see Jesus in a whole new light. And he really, honestly doesn’t know what he is supposed to do next, but, as a Pharisee who is in a position of power and authority, he is going to have to do SOMETHING. I can only say this: I do NOT envy Shmuel. But, what an amazing actor Shaan Sharma is. His portrayal of the complicated Shmuel really takes my breath away 😳

A Christian is simply a disciple of an apostle Acts 14:14 KJV Which when the [apostles,] [Barnabas] and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, Acts 11:25-26 KJV 25. Then departed [Barnabas] to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26. And it came to pass, that a whole year [they assembled themselves] with the church, and [taught much people.] And the [disciples] were [called] [Christians] first in Antioch. And we still have apostles today for .. Ephesians 4:10‭-‬11 KJV 10. He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11. And [he gave some,] [apostles;] and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

I donated lots to The Chosen but I have to wait for all 8 episodes to be shown in the theatres of Satan before I get to see even episode 1 of season 4. That is NOT right!

Dallas is more upset than you. He’s trying his best to rectify a situation that’s not of his making. I understand how you feel. Please pray it can be resolved. ❤
