THE CHOSEN INTERVIEW: Associate Producer Justen Overlander | Hosted by Darren Scott Jacobs 

Everyone of these interviews are so uplifting in these days of chaos and hate , race issues, this Corona virus, weather issues, and satan's evil in abortion, politics of strained country tension and wars. Our only hope is in God and Jesus. This series is a good reminder of Gods power and perfection over the whole universe. He is the great I AM

A year later, I found this interview. How beautiful. What a nice, sincere man Justen is. The Chosen is blessed with its cast, crew and production team. Thank you, Justen for your work.

Justen's testimony of how he got on The Chosen reminds me of my life in general. His sense of humor is awesome too!

Yes Justen that was Dallas enough I love your sense of humor which is awesome

Justen, there's SO many of us out here, on the other side of "The Chosen". Watching and listening to EVERY SINGLE PERSON INVOLVED with this most important, remarkable, innovative project of our day. We all want YOU to know, whether you're in front of the camera when the words out, "ROLLING, WE'RE ROLLING NOW"!!! Or you're the one of the "behinds-scene" family that's helping in ANY WAY you're asked to, help make people who are arriving, PLEASE help them "settle in" get them familiar with the "LAT OF LAND" in so many words. We all "appreciate" so very much whatever "YOU, PERSONALLY", do in participation with your family on and off set. Your many different jobs you get to do, to aid in getting this "EXTRAORDINARY" and very much "NEEDED" inspirational, spiritual, and upbuilding series that tthe "ENTIRE WORLD OF MANKIND", is "CRAVING TO SEE THE UPCOMING SEASONS" of, my dear brother, ANY ONE that's watching with all the "ENTHUSIASM" that I've been blessed to "share" and see how they're affected by the "scriptural context" alive, and playing out before them, nevermind the popcorn, get the Kleenex box, brother, OMG!!! Every person who I've shared this with, always, always thanks me profusely for having turned them onto "season one", all have said, what they'd gladly give to amongst the production, wardrobe, make-up people to have your job, whereas, you have "daily" interactions with any and everyone, we all have swore to write you a GREAT BIG THANKS, any and everyone out here, would be "excited, pleased, overwhelmed" to be YOUR ASSISTANT, have your energies, that you put out each and every day.

From your family back home in Minnesota.🙏💙🙏💙🙏💙🎶💜🤟💛❤😘🥰

JUSTEN!!!!!! Finally! I've been waiting for an interview with him. He is such an awesome guy. I've had the pleasure to become friends with Justen over Facebook. We even live in the same state. :-) I loved getting to hear how he got involved with The Chosen and a bit of his personal story. Great job, Justen! Thanks for everything you have done for The Chosen and for us, the fans. Also, LOVE the intro for the interviews! It's great!

Wonderful interview and opportunity to know more about Justen. Thank you, Justen, for all you do in not only making The Chosen a success, but in being part of this vessel through which the Lord Jesus is being made known around the world. There is no doubt that God brought together the exact persons He wanted to accomplish this series being an instrument in delivering the gospel in a new way. I'm thankful for seeing your heart and commitment to the Lord ... and thankful that you responded to His prompting to use your gifts in His purpose for The Chosen. I pray for you and your family and appreciate all that you each give in His service.

The Chosen has become a legit phenomenon. It has exceeded all expectations in every aspect of not just a Christian show, but any show by comparison. Very few binging experiences do you actually feel better about the time spent in front of a screen. You’re left with a new perspective of peace and intimacy with Jesus.

God bless you justin

What a pleasure! Against The Tide Media interviews always surprise and delight. Loved hearing Justen’s background story and his peek into the casting room. But my fave was when He spoke about His expectations about The Chosen’s success. His answer was so beautiful and full of truth. Lots of craziness at the end, cause it Justen is in right? The Dallas impression is right on and makes me laugh every time. And just when I thought we were raising the bar, without puns, Justen got fruity. Lol. You have to watch to end. Lol. So much fun! Thank you Justen, Darren and Noah!

Thank you for this intimate portrayal of the life of Christ. It brings hope and consideration

It was so great to hear Justen's story. I am glad that he is big part of this project.

Justin seems so humble! God bless him.

You are AWESOME, Justen! “The Chosen” is AWESOME! We have seen it all. We are going go see it again when our son Colby comes home from BobJones University this May. (We are born-again Christians). Colby Robison has been studying this series and has seen it several times (he is a film student). We have told all our family and friends about this movie series. We are all looking so forward to season 2! Oh! And thank you for telling Colby about Noah. They have been talking a lot. There’s a great connection between these two extremely talented teens! God is doing something HUGE between those two. These kids will be very successful Christian filmmakers and they will also bring many to Christ! Praise God! Thank you, Tide Media, for this wonderful interview!! 😇

Awesome interview! Justen is so real and a lover of Jesus!

Perfect! “God is bigger than The Chosen” - great point Justin. THIS is why the Chosen is doing so well and why God is choosing to use it for His purposes. Stay humble and keep pointing people to Jesus!

Big shout out to Justen Overlander. I have watched this interview many times. I love what Justen does. My REAL FAVOURITE bit is at the end (before the funny bits}, where Justen talks about God being WAY bigger than The Chosen. Love it!!Really Love it!!!

Volunteer here!

Just a wonderful interview, to hear from Justen Overlander, and get a different perspective of the series. It was a joy to hear your heart in regards to The Chosen and what is really important, the message of the Gospel. Thanks Darren! Awesome job!

what an awesome interview and what an awesome Job your doing Juatin, thank you for what your doing!

This has been my favorite so far...even though I've loved all of them and enjoyed getting to know the actors. Those may have been more entertaining ,but this touched my heart because tho I'm not an actor, I have been sort of a multifaceted person for so long and wondering why I wasn't better at one thing because of the struggle of not moving forward seemingly. This spoke to me in that you can be good enough at several things and when the time is right, God will bring them together. Almost in tears...And laughing at the bloopers - BTW, great Dallas impression - and "water buffalo" and "doves cry." Also ❤ the answer about the Chosen not being the end all. And FYI, I recognize Hava Nagila from when I was an accompanist for a school choir!

Thank you Justin.

Your intentions had touched my heart it made me shed an expected years . This is the reason you and Dallas were the first Chosen to see the light .

I must agree!!!

With such great guys behind the scenes, with such a heart for God and desire for All souls to deepen their relationship with God, it’s no wonder this series is such a hit around the world. The hysterical behind the scenes snippets were great Easter Eggs at the end of the interview. 🤣🤣🤣 I’d love hanging out with this guy. I wonder if he needs a personal assistant?🤔 You’ll love this interview. Check it out. BTW, Justen Overlander did Dallas Jenkins know his Pirate eye patch was on upside down?🙃😜

Thanks Justen

Fantastic interview! I hadn’t heard some of Justen’s testimony. What a heart for God. As much as we have fun with his sense of humor, justen is so integral to the Chosen. I was able to visit the set for the last 2 days of shooting and Justen did make us all feel welcome. I’d never seen the video Justen shares here of the wedding at Cana dance practice. I was an extra for that scene that day. Sooo hot!! But so much fun. 😄. Thank you Against the Tide for sharing Justen’s and other cast interviews. Love them. Well done.

What an amazing guy!!

Fun interview! What a blessing!

The outtakes 😂 thanks for the laughs Justen Overlander

This has been my favorite enterview so far

This was a great interview. I love behind-the-scenes stuff. Thanks.

Thank you for the fun

Another good interview. Very high quality people involved in this project. Great questions which draw information out of the guests. Interviewing is its own skill set. Darren does a good job - even just piking the right questions from fans - and then reframing some of them sometimes.

Hello from Brazil 🇧🇷!!!!

Wonderful interview!

Well, well said, Justen. And the out-takes at the end are hilarious!

I’m following God Amen

The disciples playing football 😆😂 I like it

It must have been such fun doing the wedding scene. Do you maybe need a tea girl or something. God bless from South Africa

Rabbit trail....oh look, a squirrel. Lol

Dallas as Nick Fury 😂

Hey justin are you the pitcher for the Detroit tigers in MI

I’d love to squash you right now
