'We've Never Changed': Dallas Jenkins Responds to 'The Chosen' Debates, Wants Series to Draw People 'Closer to the Bible and the Real Jesus'"To be clear, there was no [pride] flag 'flown'…and there was no statement made by 'The Chosen' about pride or pride month anything like that.

"Where do I start? It's tough to find an article about us that doesn't have at least one thing wrong, but it's fine; we really try to focus on the work and let the content speak for itself," Jenkins said. "Obviously, currently the biggest misconception among a vocal minority is that we were flying a pride flag on set and have gone woke."
