The Chosen Actor Giavani Cairo Launches New Devotional On Quiet Faith
Giavani Cairo, who plays the disciple named Thaddeus in The Chosen, shares how his role has deepened his faith and inspired him to create a seven-day audio devotional with Glorify.
His seven-day audio devotional, titled "Believing When All Seems Lost," is part of a three-part series featuring stars from hit Christian series, The Christian Post reports.
“I hope people walk away with a deepened connection to their faith,” Cairo said. “Especially when it comes to those who maybe feel like they’re not as seen as they want to be. Everyone wants to be seen and acknowledged. Trust me, I’ve felt that so many times in my life. What’s incredible is God sees us all, and quiet faith is beautiful.”
Cairo expressed that he was intrigued by Thaddeus, who is known by several names in the New Testament, such as “Jude,” due to the disciple’s heart and humility.
“What really pulled me to him from the start was the heart he wore on his sleeve,” he said. “He leads with love and makes it part of his mission to make others know that they belong. I’ve always tried to mirror this in my own life, but he’s taught me to be even better with this.”
Despite the unity and family vibe amongst “The Chosen” cast and crew, Cairo said that recording "Believing When All Seems Lost" without them felt different.
“It’s certainly different from the aspect of not having my ‘Chosen’ family there physically with me,” he said. “But I’m so grateful because being able to spend these last seven plus years with them has really made me grow not only as an actor, but as a person as well. I love this family, and they really prepared me for moments like this.”
Cairo, who met his fiancée while filming “The Chosen,” believes that the Glorify partnership connects enduring faith and the digital habits of today’s youth. He also contended that storytelling and technology can work hand in hand in drawing people closer to God.
“Glorify has so much to offer the young generation from guided meditations, Bible readings, daily devotionals to playlists that cater to the user’s preference,” he said. “Especially with media being so popular with today’s generation, the options to connect deeper to their faith are endless with Glorify.”
“I think this younger generation connects with faith through storytelling because stories reach the heart before the mind,” the actor added. “When we see faith lived out through the characters on screen and the emotions they emote, that touches our hearts. It becomes relatable, familiar, and personal. That’s why projects and companies like 'The Chosen' and Glorify matter. They invite people to experience faith in a personal way.”
Cairo mentioned that the collaboration between “The Chosen” and Glorify would transform the lives of all who listen.
“My hope for this collaboration between ‘The Chosen’ and Glorify is that it helps people dive deeper into their relationship with God in their everyday lives,” he said. “This is a partnership that can turn inspiration into transformation.”
“God sees you. He sees us all,” Cairo added. “You’re never alone. What I’ve also experienced to be true is that when we follow Jesus’ humility and love, He brings those with that same heart into our lives.”
