Dominic Done speaks with Stan Jantz, author, publisher, and founding CEO of the Come and See Foundation, the organization behind the global distribution of The Chosen. Stan has spent decades shaping how the Christian story is told, from leading a major Christian bookstore chain to co-authoring more than 75 books, and now helping bring the life of Jesus to audiences around the world through one of the most watched faith-based series ever made.

Much of the conversation centers on The Chosen and why it has struck such a nerve. Stan talks about how the series presents Jesus as attentive, present, and fully human, and why that matters for people who feel tired of religious performance or wounded by church culture. They reflect on moments from the show that slow the story down, linger with pain and doubt, and allow viewers to encounter Jesus rather than be argued into belief.

The conversation also moves through Stan’s own story of change. He reflects on leaving a successful family business, the quiet grief that often accompanies real calling, and the strange in-between space where faith has to be lived without certainty. Dominic and Stan talk about imagination, beauty, and storytelling not as decoration, but as the way faith becomes believable again, especially for those who have been disappointed or disillusioned.
