There is this fear&nbsp;that people get offended so easily and&nbsp;it seems like&nbsp;there’s&nbsp;a lot of things that we can’t talk about.&nbsp;And&nbsp;that’s&nbsp;unfortunate&nbsp;because there’s so many conversations that we could be having with others if we were willing to have an open mind and an open dialogue, without necessarily&nbsp;worrying&nbsp;about&nbsp;offending others.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>One of these types of discussions that have&nbsp;become&nbsp;taboo-like&nbsp;in our culture, are around God and religion.&nbsp;That’s&nbsp;why&nbsp;<strong>today,&nbsp;</strong>we invited someone that is literally influencing the world through the short films, movies, and TV series that he produces&nbsp;and are faith-based.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Dallas Jenkins is the Producer and Director of “The Chosen” –&nbsp;the first-ever multi-seasoned show about the life of Christ.
