Producers Chris Juen and Chad Gundersen discuss the journey of The Chosen and its impact on faith-driven investing.

Behind the scenes of the most successful faith-based media project in history, producers Chris Juen and Chad Gundersen reveal what every faith-driven investor needs to know about entertainment investment.
