8 faith-filled films, TV shows to watch this fall, from 'Soul on Fire' to 'House of David'

7. 'The Chosen Adventures' (premieres Oct. 17 on Prime Video)
From “The Chosen” creator Dallas Jenkins comes a new animated series for children and families.
“The Chosen Adventures” follows 9-year-old Abby and her best friend, Joshua, as they encounter Jesus of Nazareth in first century Capernaum alongside a talking sheep and other whimsical characters. With Jonathan Roumie voicing Jesus and Jordin Sparks among the cast, the 14-episode series is full of "whimsy, whit and biblical truths" that families can enjoy together, Jenkins told CP.
"A children's show isn't intended to, nor is it ever going to, take you all the way into the depth of the Jesus story that you're going to get as you get a little bit older," he said.
"You hear the story overall, but because you're not an adult, you can't totally identify with the pain and suffering. This is still a show for kids; we're not getting in there and trying to scare them or anything like that. It's going to be covering biblical truths, but it's designed to ease them into some of these stories. It's going to engage them with Scripture, and then hopefully that's going to supplement the mothership show as well."
