Jonathan & Jesus

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!

From the moment I saw Jonathan Roumie as Jesus in The Chosen, I knew there was something different in his portrayal which compelled me to know more. His powerful, emotional testimony of surrender, deeply changed my life in an instant. Since then, I've prayed with him and for him while followed his budding career. And can testify this docuseries is genuine Jonathan- continuously seeking a deeper walk and understanding of Jesus. His sole desire to honor God and incorporate his faith into every aspect of his craft continues as he maneuvers his growing fame. The docuseries is raw, genuine, intimate, and transparent, showing the true heart of a man of God, as he meets with musicians, scientists, those ministering to the homeless and fighting trafficking, seeking insight through their experiences. You can't watch this without wanting to be a better person. Beautifully crafted. A must see.

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.

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.

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.
