More Detail:

In “Chosen,” Sharlet grapples with the question if leaders are really “chosen” by God, what does that mean for everyone else? Former President Jimmy Carter makes an appearance, talking about The Family’s positive influence on America. Testimonials allege that some members of The Family had affairs, which leads to the media learning about their house in D.C.. The man who exposes the story asserts that The Family’s founder, Doug Coe, had a great influence on his life, while also falsely claiming that “Jesus and Capitol Hill don’t mix,” because Jesus didn’t go to influential people to change their hearts. The episode also depicts government corruption as the Family manages to keep skeletons in its closet hidden.

“Chosen” has a strong humanist, Anti-Christian worldview while portraying some strong Christian, biblical behavior. “Chosen” reveals that no Christian is above falling into sin when The Family allegedly tries to keep a sinful situation quiet. In reality, of course, Jesus didn’t just preach to the poor. He also preached to tax collectors, merchants, Roman centurions, and Jewish leaders in the Temple. “Chosen” is excessive.
