Dallas Jenkins, the creator of the biblical drama "The Chosen," has encouraged Easter celebrations in the lead-up to Easter, calling for them to be celebrated like a BYU victory. Jenkins appeared on the “followHIM” podcast, hosted by Hank Smith and John Bytheway, which explores the weekly lesson in the study manual from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He also shared his personal experiences with the church and expressed his admiration for its reverence for Christ and willingness to celebrate Easter with joy. Jenkins encouraged a "most joyous and celebratory" service during Easter, compared to a typical celebration of a student's half-court shot.
