Jonathan & Jesus

I am not one for tv but I do watch The Chosen so was interested in seeing what this was about. It is must see for anyone who is familiar with The Chosen or even anyone who is interested in Christianity. It shows how Christ reaches so many people but also doesn't shy away from the issues Christians can have. Moreover, it really shows the heaviness an actor takes when playing a very important (the most important) role of his life as well as how fame can drain a person. Well worth the watch - I binged it over two days and I don't binge anything. I strongly recommend anyone interested in Christ, The Chosen, and/or acting too watch.

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.

This is an excellent piece of work! I applaud Jonathan for his willingness to allow such vulnerable parts of himself to be shown. He is a kind and beautiful soul whose love for God shines through. The Chosen shows us Jonathan, the actor. This docuseries shows us Jonathan, the man. This has been long awaited by his fans, and it did not disappoint. It brought laughter and tears. It's a refreshing change from so much of the anti Christian content that is so prevalent these days. Jonathan Roumie does not shy away from exposing his devotion to God, and he encouraged the same boldness in others. Well done!

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.

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!
