Jonathan & Jesus

Ok, I do love a good nature show. But most documentaries about humans that are currently living are dry, uninteresting shows that I would never watch. But being a huge fan of The Chosen and Jesus Revolution, I decided to try this documentary. Boy, was I surprised! Not only interesting, but so fascinating to see the different experts weigh in on what it would be like to portray Jesus, and just what that might look like, as well as who Jesus is to modern day society. Whether you are religious or not, the historical person of Jesus has had an impact on YOU, and knowing how that happened, or why, is something I would highly recommend finding out about through this show. And of course, if you The Chosen or Jesus Revolution, this is a perfect complimentary show - just like the study books or Behind The Scenes.

Jonathan congratulations on your success and the success of The Chosen and Jesus Revolution. To say that you carry a heavy load is a gross understatement. I hope that your conversations with all the folks in tis series and others will give you some clarity, peace and an understanding of how to carry this. God has brought you to this. He will walk you through it. Take time for you, what you need and what brings you peace. Your sister Olivia and im sure your whole family are with you on this journey. We are all with you on this journey and thank God for you everyday! Blessings my friend. Thank you for sharing your heart.

Wow! What an amazingly insightful, beautiful look into Jonathan Roumie's journey and continuing journey of his faith and his role portraying Jesus. I came here as a fan of The Chosen and left inspired to dive even deeper into my own faith not only because of Jonathan but all of the other individuals that he crossed paths with during the series. What a wonderful gift. I also need to compliment the industry people who took this journey with him. From camera to production to editing and beyond. The "feel" is fantastic! Please don't keep this series to yourself. Rewatch and then share with others!

I have followed the rising career of Jonathan Roumie since 2019 when I first watched The Chosen. At the beginning of 2020 he began an online prayer group and I don't think I missed a single session, even though the practices of our Christian faith were different. That's one of the things Jonathan taught me. That opening my mind also opened my heart. This docudrama shows how hard he has worked and how the unexpected fame has affected him. I already knew he was walking a rocky path but I really had no idea how hard the struggles were. And in case you think the persona is all acting, you're wrong. I met him once in person and what you see in this documentary is exactly what you get. Jonathan Roumie is more than an accomplished actor - he's an extraordinary human being.

I originally watched the docuseries Jonathon and Jesus simply because I am a huge fan of The Chosen and of Jonathan Roumie. However, I quickly got wrapped up in the stories and interviews within this show. It not only tells Jonathon's story, but also the stories of the people he encounters. I really loved seeing Jonathon explore the heavy weight and responsibility of what its like to portray Jesus. Because I am such a big supporter of The Chosen, and really liked watching what Jonathan goes through as he plays the role. I think it must be incredibly difficult to do, but as this documentary shows, although Jonathan can struggle with the immense role he also relies on the Lord to get him through it, he has people who help him, and he handles it with such grace. Jonathan is a fantastic actor and is my favorite person to have ever played Jesus. Jonathon and The Chosen have made the real Jesus so much more real to me and such a bigger part of my life. It has helped my relationship with Jesus and my desire to know Him much stronger. Jonathan- I know this is a difficult role for you to play- but thank you for pouring your heart and soul into it and for what you're doing to show Jesus to the world. I am so grateful. Thank you for allowing us to see behind the scenes of the challenges and rewards of what you're doing.
