“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; You are Mine.”
Once a woman possessed by seven demons, struggling with addiction, trauma and despair, Mary Magdalene is healed by Jesus of Nazareth in one of the most memorable scenes of The Chosen. What follows this pivotal moment is a journey of growth for Mary as she confronts the demons of her past, overcomes her fear and shame, teaches others, cares for others and most notedly, follows Jesus to the very end. The Chosen’s approach to her relatable and realistic depiction of spiritual growth and transformation has been celebrated by people across the world who relate to "being one way, and now another. And the thing in between, was Him."
Fun Fact: Liz was planning on quitting acting before booking the role of Mary Magdalene. Close call, Liz.
