Bear Grylls takes ‘The Chosen’ cast into the wild and answers 7 Questions with Emmy

Every week I’m interviewing exciting people from Idaho and around the world!

For decades, Bear Grylls has survived dangerous expeditions around the globe. Now he’s taking the stars of the global hit “The Chosen” on missions into the unknown.

Across challenging environments ranging from Utah’s Castle Valley and Canyonlands to the Ausable River, the Colorado River, the Great Basin Desert, and the Adirondack Forest, Bear pushes his guests beyond their comfort zones while exploring what makes them tick and drawing out deeply personal conversations about faith and spirituality.

The new series is called “The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls” and Jonathan Roumie (Jesus), Paras Patel (Matthew), Elizabeth Tabish (Mary Magdalene), Noah James (Andrew), Luke Dimyan (Judas), and series creator and executive producer Dallas Jenkins trade the set for the wilderness as they leap from planes, scale cliffs, eat scorpions, zipline over canyons, and navigate some of the country’s most rugged terrain under the guidance of renowned adventurer Bear Grylls.

I was honored to chat with Bear Grylls. Check out our conversation in the video player above!

“The Chosen in the Wild with Bear Grylls” premieres Sunday, August 9, on Prime Video, with all six episodes available immediately.
