Overview
It's more than playing a part: it's personal. That's how The Chosen cast feels. After many seasons walking in their footsteps, each actor is deeply invested in their character's journey. And in this series-In My Words-they share that journey with you. Leading us off is Alaa Safi. From a warrior trained to kill to a disciple learning to lay down his own life, Simon the Zealot has come a very long way. Alaa walks you through that story and shares some strong connections with his character.
