Brand asked Dallas and Amanda which part of Scripture he should use for the occasion, reading from the book of John.
“This is John 6:53,” says Brand, “Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For My flesh is real food and My blood is real drink. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me and I in them. Just as the living Father sent Me.'”
After reading this portion of Scripture, Brand thanked the Lord for His sacrifice on the cross and the two took the elements together.

The two also connected on “The Chosen,” where Jenkins shared that the success of this famous show came after one of the great low points of his life.
“The thing that preceded it was a brokenness, some sort of surrender,” says Jenkins. “Now, I’ve been a believer for as long as I can remember, but I still needed to break. I still needed to surrender, and I didn’t do that until my 40s when my feature film that I was all excited about completely failed at the box office and I was faced with, ‘I might not never do this again…'”

Dallas and Amanda also shared how they knew years ago that Russell Brand would come to Christ.
“I feel with you, Russell, it was a lot of your passion that seemed to drive a lot of your choices in life,” Amanda says. “So, when you see passion, and you see curiosity and you see sincerity you go, ‘Oh, the Lord says ‘he’ll be found.'”
