Season 2 of The Chosen People builds on the extraordinary success of Season 1, which surpassed 4 million downloads and ranked in the top 1% of all podcasts. Produced by Pray.com, Season 1 captivated audiences with its cinematic audio, immersive sound design, and remarkable storytelling, which featured powerful voices like Yael Eckstein and Bishop Paul Lanier from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews (IFCJ), who helped illuminate the deep connection between Christians and the Jewish people.
