'I Can't Tell My Acting Journey Without Jesus': 'Chosen' Star Says Show Is 'Life-Changing' for Her

Lara Silva plays "Eden," the wife of Simon-Peter, in "The Chosen." She sat down with CBN's Faithwire to discuss her own journey to Christianity, how the show has changed and challenged her faith, and the meaning behind her life Bible verse, Proverbs 16:9.
She also talked about what fans of "The Chosen" can expect in season three. The first two episodes of the third season are set to debut back-to-back in theaters beginning Nov. 18, before moving to the show's free streaming platform soon thereafter.

    Lara plays a perfect Edan. I truly enjoy her character. She isn't a pushover and holds Simon accountable. She is strong in her faith and family and loyal in her duties at the home and marriage. This series has absolutely changed my life and mindset and strengthened my relationship with God and Jesus. It is helping hold me accountable and helping paint the BIG picture. Watch it and Grow in everything!!!

    “My mom was raised Catholic but…” we are our children’s first teachers. We need to do better at knowing our faith as Catholics and having a deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ so they can see Him in us and so they can go out into this crazy world and do His work for His Kingdom and proclaim Him.“Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.” ( St. Jerome) May God continue to bless The Chosen team for bringing His Word to new audiences and Holy Spirit igniting that flame! God bless you all! 🙏🏽❤️

    Lara is so genuine when she talks about her journey and her faith and where she is with it. She seems to be a "Baby" Christian still seeking to know more about Jesus, about God and maybe along the way she will learn more about the Holy Spirit as well. She still knows she is vulnerable but knows that she can lean on Christ (via The Holy Spirit) to help lead her and guide her through her daily walk with God. You are not alone in dealing with the emotions involved in the parts you are playing; we are with you as well in experiencing them too. God is using you to touch other hearts so they can also hunger for the relationship with our maker.

    My wife and I related so much to the struggle Eden was having with her miscarriage and infertility as it’s something we struggled with for years. I was so accurate of how women struggle on their own with that grief and husbands can be pretty clueless about the suffering of our wives. It was beautifully done. Can’t wait to see how that trial goes for Eden.

    What I like about the Chosen is it is a collective effort from all the cast. Faith is reinforced by numbers and spontaneity of a sacred story. The role of the women in this parable is profound as well as the role of the mother. We are guided by positive role models towards a sanctuary without personal ego and the associated shroud of darkness. Bless those involved in the Chosen and all those who continue with the work of education and sacrifice towards a final truth of our mission. It was never going to be easy as we are seduced by personal interest. I leave the earthly realm knowing that faith in others is strong.
