    Sir, your faith has been pouring out of you the last two seasons. Your portrayal of Zeebede is moving. You are showing him as a loving, kind, wise father. Thank you!
  • Can I give Mr. Billy Hallowell the nod of approval? Thank you so much for letting Nick tell his story of becoming a child of The Most High! I so love your way of asking a question and then truly listening. Bravo to both men a great interview and a wonderful open and truthful conversation between them! I could watch shows of this content all day. Father bless them beyond measure! Oh what am I saying? they already are because you are their King! ✝
  • I love Nick's excitement. It's over 50 years since I discovered I could know God in a personal way, and my life changed for ever.

    Nick, I remember meeting you on the set of the feeding of the 5000. I remember talking with you about your role in this incredible project. What a blessing it is to hear what God has done in your life since. I pray for you and your family, and I pray that your testimony will be an encouragement to millions to commit their lives to Christ!

    Reminds me of when Peter and John were told by the authorities not to speak of this Jesus again. And they say "we can't HELP but speak of what we have seen and heard!"

    I love Nick’s portrayal of Zebedee. His own personal story is beautiful. His love of God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit shines brightly and is a wonderful gift for the world.

    This is an incredible account of what happened to him! I love him as an actor in The Chosen! He’s one of my favorites 😢 ❤ and now that I’ve heard his story, I admire him even more 😮

    Bless you, brother Nick. You are going to be used mightily for the Kingdom of God with your testimony. Shalom Shalom ❤🕊🙌
  • LOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE this testimony everytime I see it! The Lord is so amazing. He shines out of Nick. XXXX♥ And what a wonderful 55 year old fisherman Nick portrays. So joyful! x 😊

    It is so refreshing to hear and see Nick talk about his encounter with Almighty God! I look forward to seeing Nick again. Nick's grandfather is very happy and proud of Nick! Heaven is rejoicing! Thank you for listening to God so we can be blessed through your testimony!

    And he's such an awesome Zebedee!!!! I amazed at how God orchestrated it, the two job supervisors saying the exact same thing. But come to think of it, God is doing this for every single one of us in the world, He is always pursuing each of us to bring us to Him. I've heard so many testimonies and people keep on saying, they realize God was always actively pursuing them. I'm sure if each of us saved or unsaved stop and really think of it, we can see God working in our lives protection, provision etc
  • Your testimony was moving. Thank you and praise to the Creator God who loves you and came to earth to save us. In faith in Yeshua. Your journey has begun!
  • @AzaccaHops
    Thank you so much for Nick’s testimony. It was beautifully explained. I could feel the Holy Spirit guiding his words and his emotions were swirling. ❤ I have always liked Zebedee and how he portrayed him. He has been secretly one of my top characters in The Chosen. But now being able to experience the human behind him, allows me to love him even more. Thank you Billy for the interview. I pray that this video get more views in the time to come. More people need to “come and see” his testimony.❤
  • I had an experience with Jesus also. Once you have an experience with the Lord you will never forget.
