Crafting the Soundtrack of Faith: Dan Haseltine and Matthew S. Nelson on 'The Chosen'

There's a certain kind of paradox with taking a verse like John that was in that scene, and you would think that by taking something that's monumental to our theology and pulling it down- pulling it down and making it smaller, it's counterintuitive, but by making it more intimate, and by making it smaller, we're actually, it's actually connecting more.
