Jonathan & Jesus

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 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.

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 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.
