Nick Shakoour, the actor behind Zebedee in The Chosen, is sharing his wild journey from darkness to faith. Once plagued by doubt, he now credits God for pulling him out of despair through radical spiritual encounters. His story shows how truth can break even the hardest hearts.
Shakoour grew up questioning God’s existence, haunted by life’s struggles. A string of failures left him drowning in darkness, angry and lost. But everything changed when he joined The Chosen—a show he never planned to audition for. God had other plans.
During filming, Shakoour faced a terrifying demonic attack in his car. He felt a sinister force dragging him toward death, shaking him physically and spiritually. That moment became a wake-up call. He realized evil was real—and so was the fight for his soul.
Surrounded by Christian crew members, Shakoour started asking tough questions. Their unwavering faith wore down his skepticism. Small moments of prayer and big encounters with God’s presence chipped away at his doubts. The show became a lifeline to salvation.
In his new book Transformer, Shakoour details his conversion, calling it a “tribute to God.” He traces his path from immigrant kid to Hollywood actor to born-again believer. The book slams woke culture’s lies and celebrates traditional values as the true path to freedom.
Shakoour now urges others to reject despair and embrace Christ’s radical love. He says America needs a faith revival to combat moral decay. His message? God’s grace is for everyone—even those who’ve spent years running from Him.
This story isn’t just about acting. It’s a battle cry for conservatives to defend faith in a godless world. Shakoour’s transformation proves truth wins when we stand firm. Hollywood elites might mock it, but millions are hungry for real hope.
