On both sides of the camera, “The Chosen” is changing lives.
Lara Silva, who portrays Eden, a woman representing the Apostle Peter’s wife, recently told CBN’s Faithwire her role in the faith-based series “has been completely life-changing.”
“I didn’t grow up with a strong faith,” Silva explained. “I didn’t have a relationship with Jesus. My mom was raised Catholic, but we didn’t go to church, I didn’t own a Bible, I didn’t have that root under me.”
In her mid-20s, the Atlanta-based actor trusted Jesus as her Savior. It was that consequential shift in her worldview, in fact, that jumpstarted her career in the entertainment industry.
Now, Silva says she can’t share her acting journey apart from her salvation story.
