According to a 2022 analysis commissioned by the show's producers, 108 million had seen at least part of the show through the app and streaming platforms.[2] While the series has received some criticisms for hiring LGBT crew members, its use of artistic license and portrayals of Mary, as well as claims the writers were injecting Mormon theology into its script, the majority of response to the show has been positive. It has won two GMA Dove awards, two K-Love fan awards, and one Epiphany Prize from Movieguide.
