Not surprising. It is a Mormon and Roman Catholic production. Heaven forbid it should bring you to Jesus the one who was crucified and died for you. And to prove it He rose again. He paid it all for your sins, freeing you from the bondage of sin and the wrath of God. But not for your comfort did He die.
I've read Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Descartes, and many others. But I've only recently begun reading the Bible. And it is whooping my butt. It's so powerful. I find myself reading from the Old Testament, and then the New, but after 2 months, all I've managed to read is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, all of John (including 1, 2, and 3), Acts, Matthew, James, and Psalms. It's not because it's too difficult or don't have the time either. I'm trying to digest the words, and in doing so, the world around me is changing, I see scripture everywhere and hear it everywhere, and I'm crushed by the enormity of God's love for us. I wonder if I'll ever be able to read it all and understand it all. It's humbling.
Pray the Rosary you will meet Our Mother and she will bring you closer to Jesus her Son in a way that will be like nothing your could ever imagine. No one knows him more closely and you will know he knows you intimately.
I am Southern Baptist and I am totally obsessed with The Chosen and Jonathan Roumie. This has totally strengthened my faith and belief. This could not have come at a better time in my life.
I was born and raised Catholic, but I am no longer Catholic. However, God used Bishop Barron to start to bring me back to the fold. I can totally confirm what Johnathan claims about God providing every daily need. I cried out to God 7 years ago and He saved me. I had to medically retire 7 years ago and GOD provides our every daily need now. Trust Jesus, His yoke is light and He will carry our burdens and make our yoke easy. Thank you Jesus for every blessing. You are my life.
@@TheTenthLeperI realize you're making a point that feelings can steer us wrong. But not all things we feel or intuit are wrong, I think this person is saying that it's a feeling that reminds us of the love of God. I myself was fallen away but searching and wanting God when I started watching this show. I was searching for God, and this show reminded me all the more how attractive and beautiful the love of God is. When you have a perspective that love is always broken, and someone says, "look at Jesus, he loves you and calls to you in your brokenness", that can very well jumpstart your own motivations to keep seeking God. Sometimes God speaks through people, and maybe God has chosen to speak through Jonathan in a very specific way. Actually God often speaks through people. If you're open to the possibility, I'd look up Jim Caveziel talks. He gave a woman a rosary based on something moving him, and she cried and said she had prayed God would send her one after she lost hers. He had no reason to do it, he just felt a strong pull that he should do this. God can work in us!
so agree w you Bishop Barron, that is my favorite line from Quintas: "I don't know what that means but let's end on a high note!" And Jonathan Roumie is brilliance as Jesus.
The way Jonathan shows Jesus as the fully human and full divine Jesus makes every episode a tearjerker for me. You want to reach out and hug him, laugh with him etc and the hardest bit is we know what's coming. His performance is one for the ages.
Reading the Bible, praying, and walking with Jesus would be much better. And go to the Two Preachers channel and look for their book of John movie. That one is excellent.
100%! The Chosen has really made the scriptures come alive for me and see if those are real people, not just one dimensional characters in a book, and Jonathan roumie has done such an amazing job. Absolutely amazing! He has put a real face to the real Jesus. It helps to imagine him and make him so much more real and relatable! My favorite show of all time and I am not young!😂
I’m a middle school teacher in a Catholic school teaching religion. Last year, I needed to keep my classes focused on school the last couple of weeks for the school year. I found The Chosen on Netflix and began showing it in my classes. ALL OF MY STUDENTS in all 6 classes were immediately drawn to the series. One of my students said if the whole Bible could be told this way, she’d never stop watching. It has made a huge impact in them. They beg to watch it as often as they can. We are anxiously waiting for season 4 to be released…. Thank you for providing this experience and Jonathan for portraying the human side of Jesus with all of His emotions as well as His divinity… God bless you all! Many of them are now following Halo as well!❤️❤️
I have been a Catholic since my Baptism, I've always knew about God and the saints and the 12 apostles, but after a year in the Bible,and now the Cathachism, AND THE Chosen, now I actually know God as my Father, my Creator,it's been a life changing experience,I Now Belong to my God! Thank you all so much!❤
He would be a good choice. But first he wound need to be appointed to the collage of cardinals. Bishop Barron feels very much like an evangelist too me. But that is my view as an evengiaical.
I am Protestant but I listen to a lot of Catholic video talks We all believe in Jesus as the son of God. I love the tv series the Chosen. I finished the third season. I can’t wait for the fourth.
Devils believe Jesus is the Son of God and they're going straight to hell forever at the judgment. What about you? *But as many as received him, **_to them_** gave he power to **_become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:_** which were **_born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God._* John 1:12-13 KJV
There are some annoying Catholics for sure as there are annoying Protestants that I’ve met or have read their comments. Like I met one in a friend’s house and the first thing she asked me was “do you believe in Jesus. You know, he loves you very much.” That really turned me off, and I was a believer at the time. Anyway, you stick to the ones that are authentic Catholics and who are emotionally mature along with their faith.
The work that Bishop Barron and Mr. Roumie are doing for Christ's Church is incredible. May the Holy Spirit continue to move you. Thank you and Glory be to God.
As a Protestant, I cannot overstate how much Bishop Barron has helped me in solidifying a theological position as a Christian. Jonathan Roumie, too, has been instrumental in demonstrating the "truest" version of a Jesus depiction I've seen in my life. In my experience, Jesus has always been played as a distant (verging on cold) automaton, or he's been played as a Woodstock-style, flower-crown-wearing Bonnaroo pothead. The intersection of these two people is fantastic. This video is an absolute chef's kiss experience.
God never intended for his body to be divided. P who married a C and "converted"...but our family would be incomplete without both branches of faith catechising us.
I watched the first episode at a time when I was going through a lot. A couple nights later I asked God to help me let go of all the pain and anxiety I felt. In my dream that night I saw a being walking towards me down a street resembling the scene when Jesus heals Mary Magdalene. I could see his feet walking towards me in a robe but not his face, his face was covered by a bright light. He radiated love and peace. He walked straight to me and touched me, I fell to my knees and cried and screamed for a while, it felt like a purging of all my pain and anxiety. I have never felt better. I am healed. All glory to God! ❤
So thankful that Dallas Jenkins took the initiative to make The Chosen TV series , by stepping in faith and in prayer together with other creative staff members to create this beautiful project of TV series. Of the storyline of Jesus Christ life and with selected scriptures stories till His crucifixion and resurrection . So yes looking forward for the rest of His story in 6 and 7 season of the tv series. For 2023 and 2024 years . My prayers for The Chosen TV series to continue with success with blessings from Almighty God in Jesus Christ name Amen Allelujia I. From a fan Susan P. USA Arizona peace and Joy 🇺🇲😊❤️🙏🌞🌵🎼🎵🎶🎵😇and with holy angels protection and safety and guidance also amen alleluia alleluia.
I have a friend that's almost a year into Christianity but is very "KJV only, Worship music isn't good, churches are just businesses, don't get me started on The Chosen" kind of guy. When we were just having our "once in every few months" talk about God, Jesus, the Bible etc. (which I enjoy and am very blessed that I still have a friend from HS to talk about faith) He briefly mentioned how The Chosen doesn't make people read the bible. 😑 To which I quickly and kindly replied, "It did for me!" If only he truly knew the huge impact this TV show has on 100s of thousands of all kinds of people, whether new to faith like me or some rekindling their faith. I truly believe God presented me this show which has lead me going to & volunteering at the church on Sundays, reading the Bible and Catechism every day, praying the full rosary every day etc. God has been knocking at my door since I was in middle school, and this show was my breakthrough to get to know Him. 🙏❤🔥✝
The Chosen has changed my life. As a cradle Catholic, I can now relate to Jesus as my friend. He washes dishes with me, and talks to me all the time. I love Him in the Eucharist and believe without a doubt that the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity are contained in it.❤💞☺
The purity of just touching His robe. The goodness released. The power. The men who lower their friend, through the roof, to be healed. Titanic acts of faith by apparently humble, maybe the poor, it's accomplishing acts of faith that others cannot.
So did I. I was actually cheering for her to get threw the crowd. when she just touched the tassel of his belt, that was powerful. Yes I cried....@@estherrotella5566
Convert to Catholicism here, I have enjoyed the Chosen immensely, it is very well done. I can see how it attracts lost souls such as mine had been before my conversion. May God continue to bless you all!
*And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.* Matthew 23:9 KJV *And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which **_the woman_** sitteth.* Revelation 17:9 KJV
@@TheTenthLeperYou're stringing two scriptures together without knowing the meaning. Matthew 23:9 is talking about not giving anyone on earth the respect and authority that should be given to God the Father. Priests are called father as in a spiritual father. The one who leads and instructs the local congregation. They act in persona Christi. Are you telling me that you would take this scripture so rigidly literal that you would refuse to call your own biological father "father"? If your answer is no, then you know that there is nothing wrong with the word "father" and it can be used appropriately. For example, in my bible, NASB, 1 Cor 4:15: "For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel." Priests are fathers as Paul stated. Even in your KJV it says slightly differently, "I have begotten you" instead of "Father". This is still the same idea. Spiritual fathers are called fathers because they bring about children in Christ through baptism. Birthing them into the family of God by being "Born again in water and spirit" (John 3:5). Nurturing their faith through teachings and the sacraments. As far as Revelation 17:9 I'm certain you are trying to use this as a proof text that the Catholic Church is the W**re of Babylon. This is generally claimed because there are seven hills in Rome and the Vatican sits on a hill in Rome. Well, I hate to break it to you, but the seven hills referred to in Revelation don't even contain the same hill that the Vatican sits on. So, this text does not really have any real-world correlation to the location of the seat of Christ's Church. So that must mean it is referring to something else. The real hazard of Protestantism is that you can read your bible and come to the completely wrong conclusion. Remember we do actually need a teacher. As stated in Acts 8:26-40 when Philip asked the Eunuch if he understood the scriptures: "And he said, 'Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?'" You obviously think you have the right of what you're saying trying to use the bible to disprove the Catholic Church. However, you wouldn't even have your bible if it wasn't for the Traditions of the Catholic Church. God gave us apostles that created the church. Christ did not give us a bible. The Church, through the gospel writers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, wrote the scriptures and eventually compiled them into the cannon of the bible. This happened around 400AD. The Church that created the Bible would be the most natural ones to teach about it. The cannon of the Bible stood unchanged for around 1100 years until Martin Luther decided to disregard some of the books. The very bible you are quoting from has had books removed from it. So, please understand that you need the church to help you understand what scripture means just as much as the Eunuch did. The Catholic Church has been thinking of these scriptures for 2000 years. That is to say before the Bible was even complied the Catholic Church was studying the scriptures. And I do mean THE Catholic Church. The name Catholic Church dates back to around 110AD. Roughly 300 years before the cannon of the Bible was officially compiled. You are doing yourself a disservice by disregarding some of the greatest minds of history.
I am a convert since 2014 and having studied Bishop Barron for a while and then watched Jonathan R in The Chosen has certainly help to deepen my Christian Faith❤
@@meme-vd5rm Money ok even wonderful depends on the intention of those with it and how it is used. In my experience having and not having both alter a person some for better some for worse. The worship of money is problems receiving blessings from the lord well that is a gift of gifts. So it is taken and it is given by God so long as we understand the church the actor etc perhaps will make a great deal of money and make the world if not their small world a better place
I tell the truth money aside the chosen has brought me much closer to God Jesus Holy Spirit they seem very humble and in awe of the lord too so why not ? No coincidences
Cradle Catholic here, went to Catholic schools for 16 years, “fallen away” and LOVE The Chosen because it has reminded me of what it feels like to feel close to Jesus. I am wearing my Miraculous Medal again and even went to mass. But that’s another story because the mass was emotionless.
Not to discredit the Novus Ordo Mass, but a lot of people are attending the Traditional Latin Mass at parishes that celebrate it. Can't really understand latin but it's just so sacred and beautiful. or if you can find a Novus Ordo Mass that's not stuck in the 70s, 80s, 90s, but actually celebrates it according to the Roman Rite.
@@SirenaWomanWarriorthe problem for me was that it wasn’t stuck in the 70’s and thats where I wanted it to be! I wanted to feel like I was returning “home” to the kind of mass I am used to but it was so different. Cold I felt. Latin would not do it for me at all. I need folk music and felt banners!
The mass is actually not for you. It is two parts. Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is a celebration of the Living Christ. It is you bearing witness to his suffering and him coming to you personally in the mass. Get to church early before mass and say the rosary. Don't sit and daydream and watch who comes in for Mass. @@touchedbyfire99
Hi I just wanted to suggest it might be helpful to read a few books or watch some studies on The Mass. They have helped my heart connect with what is really going on. Scott Hahn and Brant Pitre have good talks and books on the Mass. Hope this is helpful and that you find your sense of being home again. God bless you 🙏🏻
Yes! Bishop Barron mentions how perfect the Old and New Testament are depicted! It’s well done. Indeed, the Divine and Human in Jesus, true depiction of the Covenant.
We are Roman Catholics-brought up our 3 sons in the Church-but have really never been bible readers-I saw all 3 seasons on Peacock then suggested my husband watch it one Sunday when no good football was on- OmGosh-he loved it so much we’ve watched it 8 times-because there are always subtle things that we miss-and we bought Great Adventure Catholic bibles that we are reading-New Testament first and I’m listening to Bible in a Year on Hallow-we are 60 and on fire-because of Johnathon and The Chosen-his acting makes it feel so real -it’s hard to explain-we’re working on the boys ❤❤❤Much love and I pray for your cast and crew at night❤️❤️❤️
I’ve realized, is that Bible in a Year with Fr. Mike Schmitz and the Chosen came out about the same time. What’s cool is to listen to the scripture then see it come to life on the Chosen in a relatable human way.
I had never heard of The Chosen until about a month ago!!!! Heck! I want to experience every episode. The few scenes I have seen recently have spoken to my heart. Listening to Bishop Barron and Jonathan, the actor playing the part of Jesus is so wonderful! Thanks to all who created The Chosen, to choosing Jonathan to portray Our Lord, for this show and for showing our sinful world how much Jesus loves us. ❤❤❤
Get the ANGEL station on your tv and you can see them all, from the beginning. Be sure to read the brief explanation at the very beginning. CHOSEN isn't a quote from the Bible, it combines some parts, while trying to keep it accurate. The intro says it much better than I could. CHOSEN has brought me much closer to my faith.
Mr. Roumie, The Lord has chosen you to lead his voice into the darkest corners. God knows your heart and your needs before you even ask. You have blessed so many and shown the love of Christ through this role in The Chosen.🙏💞
I did not expect to laugh half as much as I did coming into this interview. The general air of levity is something we don't see enough of in the Church.
We see it a lot more in protestant churches. It shows in lighter songs, in more freedom to clap and dance (in some, but not all churches). There is a balance to be struck, because some churches don't show enough reverence. There is a nice freedom w/ not such a formal liturgy though. I do appreciate Catholic Mass and have attended many. I've been so blessed to do so as an evangelical Christian, because it's rounded out and broadened my faith. I do miss protestant worship. The old hyms are sung in protestant churches, but it's nice to have upbeat songs of praise that bring more joy and smiles too.
I appreciate that. Some of the new Bible-based churches are mostly music, entertainment for the masses. No communion and a very brief sermon. It doesn’t feel at all like mass does! But I’m a cradle Catholic who returned after being away for decades. Now I’m hungry for the rosary, the prayers, fasting, alms giving and wise bishops and priests. I appreciate Bishop Barron ’s wisdom of church history. I’ve learned so much from him. Hope you keep watching his videos and keeping an open mind. God bless you! ✝️🙏🏻❤️@@saintejeannedarc9460
Amen I agree! It strange I'm watching this. I was brought up to fear Catholics you could not talk about them in the home I grew up in. Later down the road. I needed a place to live. YAWEH! put me smack dab with a born again spirit filled Catholic lady. it changed me! I no lo gwr feared Catholics. I'm not Catholic! BUT I believe Yaweh! orgestrated that to remove my fear! I don't believe Yawehsees a denomination! He! sees the heart! So! Yes! I agree! with you!
Convert to Catholicism here (5 years ago). God bless the Chosen, and all the actors/actresses, director, and staff. I know you may be astounded, but you are changing lives through the Holy Spirit.
I am catholic and my fe is growing thank to you. Thank to your great work showing Jesús as a nice person and so natural and great like I am sure He was. Keep up the good work from Spain EU.
I love how truthful Jonathan is here saying “they” wouldn’t let him come close to his Excellency before Jonathan became better known. Sums it up for me
What I love about The Chosen so much is how it is a wonderful joint effort among the body of Christ. It brings Catholics and all branches of Christianity together. A Catholic brother plays Jesus, a devout evangelical writes and directs the show, and different denominations of Christians give Dallas council and help him pray and envision the best portrayal of Jesus and the apostle's life that God can give him. It's what the bible tells us to do, and what we most fall short on doing.
@@kiutpi That's great input to have. I do like how they try and stick to historical accuracy and really show the Jewish culture of Jesus and how Jewish his disciples actually were. This gives us a much better idea of how it was than the typical Jesus movies that we used to have, which strived to show Christianity, but didn't highlight how Jewish rooted it really was.
Jonathan, I did what you said you did before you got your job! I also went through a few bad years and after giving up and asking Jesus for help, He sent me a job!!!
As a Catholic from infancy, I have practiced regularly, and also often read passages from Scripture. However, nothing blew my mind, and brought Scripture to life, like The Chosen. Thank you! A marvellous production that has helped increase my faith, and take a deeper look into the humanity of situations in Scripture. I particularly liked the way, for instance, Simon worried about his wife, and the way she reacted to him leaving. Also, Simon's reaction when he almost drowned after walking on water was impeccable. I just can't wait for more! Well done all!
I watched the Choose. I cried every episodes.... It touch my hearts and Soul.. everytime i am broken. I replay and watch over over again.. It helps me a lot.
Don't forget the part Dallas Jenkins plays in all of this. Dallas and the other two writers, the other actors, the set designers, etc. have all been brought together for a reason. God is working through all of them to bring us all to him. What a beautiful and compassionate God we have that He would do all of this as we navigate this very difficult time. Jonathan is right. We need God so much right now. So, our loving God has once again stepped up, and He is speaking to us in a language we can all understand. Hopefully, we will respond to Him and cooperate with His plan to heal us, save us, and bring us home.
Did you know that the Roman Catholic Church replaced the inspired word of God, the Textus Receptus, with the Alexandrian manuscripts called the Codex B or Vaticanus from the Vatican basement and the Sianiticus from a monestary. God promised to curse those who add to His word or takes from it. Revelation 22:18-19. Do you believe God or man?
The way Johnathon Roumie portrays Jesus, it's so heartfelt and spiritual. It draws you in, we know he's not the real Jesus. But the portrayal is heartwarming, it makes you want to know Jesus. It makes you want to pray. It makes you want to become closer to God.
I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I so appreciate how Jonathan portrays Jesus as God and man. No other actor has portrayed this as well in my opinion.
About 30 years ago I was talking to Jesus on my bed and I was trying to understand His being half God and half man. I heard Him say I am all God and all man. I was astounded/flabbergasted and to see & hear Jonathan Roummei (misspelled) say that he prayed and asked to portray Jesus as best as he could to please the Lord... He has done a good job doing that.
Jonathan truly displays the human and divine sides. He does a wonderful job and it makes me love Jesus more and more every day and every time I watch The Chosen I crave reading my Bible and wanting to know more about him!
Me too & I have been fully committed, by choice, to our Catholic faith for 72 out of my 82 years. The Chosen has just added so much to my wanting to read and learn more of our Judaism beginning.
@@juneross5022 Jesus said, You must be born again. John 3:3-8. "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Why? "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter i to the kingdom of God. That whjch is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is spirit." Verses 3:5-6. Born again is also called regeneration. Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary online. 'Regeneration means; Reproduction, the act of producing anew. In theology, New birth by the grace of God, that change by which the will and natural enmity of man to God and his law are subdued, and a principle of supreme love to God and his law, or holy affections, are implanted in the heart.' Humbling isn't it. We cannot do that on our own, even with tons and tons of repenting God. Jesus said, My words are spirit and life." John 6:63. We cannot walk by the Spirit when we walk by our own understanding, called sin. Ask God to send the Holy Ghost, Luke 11:13. He will bring your sins to mind. As he does ask Jesus to forgive you. This will be painful, pride hates it! When you see your desperate need, call out to Jesus to see save you. He came to save sinners. Then do as the risen Jesus commanded, be baptized. Matthew 28:18-20. Peter preached it. Acts 2:38. ( The followers of Jesus baptized while Jesus still walked this earth. Peter would have bern bsptuzed then). Paul did it. Acts 22:16. John's baptism is a water baptism of repentance. Mark 1:1-5, Luke 3:3, Acts 13:24, Acts 19:4. Think on Mark 16:16, John 3:3-8, 2 Peter 3:9, Romans 6:3-11, 1 Corinthians 12:13 and Colossians 2:6-15. Will your love of this image lead you there or does it deceive by thinking this is what it is all about?
When I first started watching ‘The Chosen’, I thought Jonathan didn’t look like Jesus at all. But with each episode, it’s almost like he’s warping into how Jesus really looks like. His entire portrayal is SO captivating. There’s always one line in each episode that resonates with me, and then, I end up crying. And I cry even more when I think of the ending. My conscious mind always remind me: “Each time we sin, we are guilty of nailing Him to the cross again and again, and again.” With this in mind, I try HARDER every day to be sinless. My biggest challenge is to stop judging the many “donkeys” I work with. Not easy. “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
I totally understand you. People can be so unkind, thoughtless, even evil at times. I believe that they act in these ways because of some awful event in their lives and they do not realize that they need to forgive and move on. They could be stuck in mire!
@@evemahony671 That’s what somebody told me. Oh, there’s this one girl in the office, sleeping with the boss, lying about her many screw ups, can’t work at all, quite a bimbo, blames others and got about 16 people fired over the last 3-4 years and she’s so proud of her success! Its all over her Insta. Geeeezzzz unbelievable 🤦♀️. So evil …
Jonathan as Jesus is a symbol of great acting. Becoming part of the character of Jesus has immersed with Jonathan’s own self. He found the truth in the words of Jesus and becomes a wondrous portrayal of his presence! Love how Jonathan has his own sense of humor which blends into a truly human Jesus. Jonathan admits his flawed humanity could not become Jesus, but in prayer he asks for the Divinity shines thru. I would like to see this series become an Emmy entry.
I never saw the Chosen, but this interview conducted by Bishop Barron, made it a must see for me! I've seen every other Biblical movie, I don't know why I missed this one. Thank you Bishop Barron. God Bless you all!❤
Thank the chosen for the scene when Jesus tells Jarius after he was told his daughter was dead….”don’t be afraid…..just believe. Made me think of Joshua. Be strong and if a good courage. For those who have dealt with the spirit of fear …..Gods word cures it all. Don’t be afraid…..just believe and be courageous.
Jonathan,your acting is phenomenal and with great humbleness. Portraying Christ, IS your mission in this life.May many come to Christ through your portrayal as Him.
Dallas Jenkins heart and direction is amazing, especially for the role of Jesus. Along with Jonathan’s heart and talent. It’s all absolutely unbeatable and so very relatable. The Chosen is outstanding and what we all have needed for so long! God’s blessings for future seasons!❤❤❤
I wish more men were like Jonathons portrayal of Jesus. It's the most attractive quality to see gentleness, wisdom and a man with a purpose to make the world a better place. You can't help but fall in love. Then when you see the miracles and you feel the Spirit of God. It simply humbles you. It brings tears to your eyes and gratitude. It's exquisite.
as a sixty year old man I am so happy to see the Old and the New Testament combined to tell our story of Jesus....for me watching The Ten Commandments and The Greatest Story Ever Told...I needed for those Story as a child to be combined for me
The Chosen has introduced the Son of God to the World! It has lead people from all walks of life,to open & read the Holy Bible. I've read all the Old Testament. Currently reading the book of Numbers. It is beautiful to see the younger generation, like Brandon and Phil singing about Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 🙏🕊️🙏
Mr. Roumie, Praise the Lord for answering His call to portray His Son, Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit uplift you and all involved in " The Chosen" series. I hope to meet you in Dallas in October (if you are there). I'll be the blind lady in a wheelchair with a testimony of joy through suffering, only by God's grace! Stay healthy, and get plenty of rest! Serving Him Together, Linda McKenzie 😮 (I actually am texting Jesus! How incredible is my life! 🎉
I love Jonathan roumie. He has brought me close to how I feel now. Peace be to me and anyone who is reading. I have fallen so far away from Christ and it is through his action has made me open up to the being and coming back to my life of the Bible and stories. I often go to TH-cam and read so I get a better understanding of Old Testament and New Testament ways. Thanks Dallas and the chosen for doing this for me.
In this day and age where so many have no faith at all, thank you for The Chosen to bring Jesus to people who now may find God and want to know more. Jonathan, your acting is superb.
I was very moved by these series. Jonathan Roumie had to feel deeply to be able to do this for Jesus ,our Lord. I believe many were brought to Jesus through this. May you always be blessed.
If you're not there already, he's done a lot of work over on Hallow (the app). During this Lent, he and Jim Caviezel have been leading most of the daily sessions; there are Rosaries where you can "pray along" with Jonathan (or Bishop Barron, and more); you can listen to Fr. Mike Schmitz reading the Bible in a Year (and now, Catechism in a Year) - with each episode about 20 minutes long, it's the perfect length for my walk to and from work (and on days off, good for encouraging me to go for a walk anyway).
What a personality Jonathan has! Such an amazing man!! And Bishop Barron is right there too for sure!!! Their relationship is a beautiful thing. They should take their conferences on the road, what a show they put on. Bishop Barron makes the solemn Catholic stature more relatable. We Catholics tend to be too serious because we think that's how we're supposed to be to be "holy". Wrong, we need to be joyful in our love & relationship with God & Jesus. We have a phenomenal opportunity to become closer to Them and these two showed me this in a new perspective. I love these two, their friendship, connection,respect & the joy they have with each other. What men of God they are ❤
Such a wonderful testimony from Jonathan. This really happens when you give your burdens to God. I have also had money drop into my lap like this, seemingly out of nowhere...and just when I needed it most. Our Father is truly our provider. We are His children, and He is responsible for us...so faithful!
WWJD? After graduating from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, I became Catholic. God led me to start God’s Creatures Ministry. I was also chairperson for Catholic Concern for Animals in the USA. They are based in England and are international. I hope the Church will actively teach about our responsibility to God’s animals which He has compassion for them all.
I love Jonathan’s story about putting his trust in God and how that turned his life around for Gods glory. And he’s right, this is what the world needs more of, this is what our culture needs right now. It’s beautiful to see men like Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie serving the Lord with the talents and skills He has blessed them with!❤️🙏 prayers of protection over these men.
Thank you! I almost skipped the suggestion to watch, but so glad I watched. The light moments between Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie, the hopeful moments; and the bishop’s ever-present theological mind mixed with the humor and emotional warmth of the creative actor...what a great time to be a Christian! 🙏❤️
The Chosen actually led me back to the Church. I am a cradle Catholic and could not be happier to be back.
Me too!! 😊
Beyond leading you back into a building, did it lead you back [if you had strayed] to Christ himself?
❣️🤗🙏🏻
Not surprising. It is a Mormon and Roman Catholic production. Heaven forbid it should bring you to Jesus the one who was crucified and died for you. And to prove it He rose again. He paid it all for your sins, freeing you from the bondage of sin and the wrath of God. But not for your comfort did He die.
@@judyswiderski2682do you eat Jesus’ body like he commands us to in the scriptures?
My wife having us watch The Chosen is what lead me to pick up an old Bible my grandfather gave me. I have read the Bible every day ever since.
You are not alone my brother
That's is so great!! Many have done the same ❤
I've read Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Descartes, and many others. But I've only recently begun reading the Bible. And it is whooping my butt. It's so powerful.
I find myself reading from the Old Testament, and then the New, but after 2 months, all I've managed to read is Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, all of John (including 1, 2, and 3), Acts, Matthew, James, and Psalms. It's not because it's too difficult or don't have the time either. I'm trying to digest the words, and in doing so, the world around me is changing, I see scripture everywhere and hear it everywhere, and I'm crushed by the enormity of God's love for us. I wonder if I'll ever be able to read it all and understand it all. It's humbling.
Pray the Rosary you will meet Our Mother and she will bring you closer to Jesus her Son in a way that will be like nothing your could ever imagine. No one knows him more closely and you will know he knows you intimately.
Chosen is very well put together. And appreciated. I wonder what it means taking the world by storm at this time.
I am Southern Baptist and I am totally obsessed with The Chosen and Jonathan Roumie. This has totally strengthened my faith and belief. This could not have come at a better time in my life.
Amén!
Amen 🙏
I love Jonathan’s sense of humor.
The Chosen brings back Jesus at the center of it All. What a wonderful feeling this is
Jonathan's humility is something. I know for sure God chose him to further spread His kingdom and salvation.
I was born and raised Catholic, but I am no longer Catholic. However, God used Bishop Barron to start to bring me back to the fold. I can totally confirm what Johnathan claims about God providing every daily need. I cried out to God 7 years ago and He saved me. I had to medically retire 7 years ago and GOD provides our every daily need now. Trust Jesus, His yoke is light and He will carry our burdens and make our yoke easy. Thank you Jesus for every blessing. You are my life.
Once a Catholic always a catholic. Welcome back home.
❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Welcome home!!❤🎉❤
Amen...
Praise be Jesus...
Praise be to God🙏🙏🙏
I’m an evangelical, but these guys really make me love Catholics. Keep up the great work boys!
Praise God!
The evangelical church has lost it's way. You're better off with Catholicism
We should love each other
My mother is a evangelical and I am a Catholic.
Love you too brother! 🙏
The Lord is speaking through Jonathon Roumie and so many people can feel it
You're gonna "feel" it when the Man of Sin shows up and you think it's Jesus Christ.
@@TheTenthLeperI realize you're making a point that feelings can steer us wrong. But not all things we feel or intuit are wrong, I think this person is saying that it's a feeling that reminds us of the love of God. I myself was fallen away but searching and wanting God when I started watching this show. I was searching for God, and this show reminded me all the more how attractive and beautiful the love of God is. When you have a perspective that love is always broken, and someone says, "look at Jesus, he loves you and calls to you in your brokenness", that can very well jumpstart your own motivations to keep seeking God. Sometimes God speaks through people, and maybe God has chosen to speak through Jonathan in a very specific way. Actually God often speaks through people. If you're open to the possibility, I'd look up Jim Caveziel talks. He gave a woman a rosary based on something moving him, and she cried and said she had prayed God would send her one after she lost hers. He had no reason to do it, he just felt a strong pull that he should do this. God can work in us!
@@emily43210 well said! I completely agree with everything you've said. ❤
@@TheTenthLeperYou dont speak for others.
Absolutely true, the Lord is working through Johnathan 100%
so agree w you Bishop Barron, that is my favorite line from Quintas: "I don't know what that means but let's end on a high note!" And Jonathan Roumie is brilliance as Jesus.
The way Jonathan shows Jesus as the fully human and full divine Jesus makes every episode a tearjerker for me. You want to reach out and hug him, laugh with him etc and the hardest bit is we know what's coming. His performance is one for the ages.
Reading the Bible, praying, and walking with Jesus would be much better. And go to the Two Preachers channel and look for their book of John movie. That one is excellent.
I absolutely agree!! It is one for the ages!!❤
Thank you Bishop Barron and Joathan both of you have strengthen my faith. God Bless.
100%! The Chosen has really made the scriptures come alive for me and see if those are real people, not just one dimensional characters in a book, and Jonathan roumie has done such an amazing job. Absolutely amazing! He has put a real face to the real Jesus. It helps to imagine him and make him so much more real and relatable! My favorite show of all time and I am not young!😂
Truth.
I’m a middle school teacher in a Catholic school teaching religion. Last year, I needed to keep my classes focused on school the last couple of weeks for the school year. I found The Chosen on Netflix and began showing it in my classes. ALL OF MY STUDENTS in all 6 classes were immediately drawn to the series. One of my students said if the whole Bible could be told this way, she’d never stop watching. It has made a huge impact in them. They beg to watch it as often as they can. We are anxiously waiting for season 4 to be released…. Thank you for providing this experience and Jonathan for portraying the human side of Jesus with all of His emotions as well as His divinity… God bless you all! Many of them are now following Halo as well!❤️❤️
Praise God!
Amen 🙏
Jonathan Roumie is an absolute delight. And the comedic timing.. wow!
Agree ❤
I have been a Catholic since my Baptism, I've always knew about God and the saints and the 12 apostles, but after a year in the Bible,and now the Cathachism, AND THE Chosen, now I actually know God as my Father, my Creator,it's been a life changing experience,I Now Belong to my God! Thank you all so much!❤
Bishop Barron should be our next pope. I just love him.
❤
He would be a good choice. But first he wound need to be appointed to the collage of cardinals. Bishop Barron feels very much like an evangelist too me. But that is my view as an evengiaical.
I am Protestant but I listen to a lot of Catholic video talks We all believe in Jesus as the son of God. I love the tv series the Chosen. I finished the third season. I can’t wait for the fourth.
Devils believe Jesus is the Son of God and they're going straight to hell forever at the judgment. What about you?
*But as many as received him, **_to them_** gave he power to **_become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:_** which were **_born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God._*
John 1:12-13 KJV
Good grief. Nice to see your reflect the Spirit of Christ. You should be ashamed of yourself. Go to confession.
Go watch it in the theatre. You won’t be sorry.
Before honor you have humility humbleness and thanks for God works perfectly in our weakness call on him❤
I’m one of those “Protestants” but these are definitely 2 of my favorite Catholics out there.
😂 Bless you, brother 🙏🏻 (from a Catholic sister)
There are some annoying Catholics for sure as there are annoying Protestants that I’ve met or have read their comments. Like I met one in a friend’s house and the first thing she asked me was “do you believe in Jesus. You know, he loves you very much.” That really turned me off, and I was a believer at the time. Anyway, you stick to the ones that are authentic Catholics and who are emotionally mature along with their faith.
The best compliment I can give is that now, when I read Scripture, I hear it in the voices of the characters of The Chosen.
I know it’s incredible
'The Chosen ' is easily the best show I have ever watched. And it was totally crowdfunded. Praise God.
The work that Bishop Barron and Mr. Roumie are doing for Christ's Church is incredible. May the Holy Spirit continue to move you. Thank you and Glory be to God.
Amen
Roumie yes. Barron NO
The prayer is that God will continue to bless, guide and protect Dallas, Ryan & Tyler. May He use them every step of the way. God Bless The Chosen.
@@brgvcu2001 why are people down on this priest?
As a Protestant, I cannot overstate how much Bishop Barron has helped me in solidifying a theological position as a Christian. Jonathan Roumie, too, has been instrumental in demonstrating the "truest" version of a Jesus depiction I've seen in my life. In my experience, Jesus has always been played as a distant (verging on cold) automaton, or he's been played as a Woodstock-style, flower-crown-wearing Bonnaroo pothead. The intersection of these two people is fantastic. This video is an absolute chef's kiss experience.
I think the catholic church is calling to you!! It happened to me
Ditto. Protestant, but the pastor that has shepherded me the most the last two years has been Bishop Barron.
@@teamhren1000 so why are you still protesting?
God never intended for his body to be divided. P who married a C and "converted"...but our family would be incomplete without both branches of faith catechising us.
It's not virtual reality. The conscience speaking to us we have to live our lives. Denying our Savior Jesus Christ the Redeemer is not an option.
I was in tears when Jonathan opened his mailbox and there were 4 checks. Praise God!!
Me too ❤😢
God is Good Always..Praise God ❤
I watched the first episode at a time when I was going through a lot. A couple nights later I asked God to help me let go of all the pain and anxiety I felt. In my dream that night I saw a being walking towards me down a street resembling the scene when Jesus heals Mary Magdalene. I could see his feet walking towards me in a robe but not his face, his face was covered by a bright light. He radiated love and peace. He walked straight to me and touched me, I fell to my knees and cried and screamed for a while, it felt like a purging of all my pain and anxiety. I have never felt better. I am healed. All glory to God! ❤
So thankful that Dallas Jenkins took the initiative to make The Chosen TV series , by stepping in faith and in prayer together with other creative staff members to create this beautiful project of TV series. Of the storyline of Jesus Christ life and with selected scriptures stories till His crucifixion and resurrection . So yes looking forward for the rest of His story in 6 and 7 season of the tv series. For 2023 and 2024 years . My prayers for The Chosen TV series to continue with success with blessings from Almighty God in Jesus Christ name Amen Allelujia I. From a fan Susan P. USA Arizona peace and Joy 🇺🇲😊❤️🙏🌞🌵🎼🎵🎶🎵😇and with holy angels protection and safety and guidance also amen alleluia alleluia.
I have a friend that's almost a year into Christianity but is very "KJV only, Worship music isn't good, churches are just businesses, don't get me started on The Chosen" kind of guy. When we were just having our "once in every few months" talk about God, Jesus, the Bible etc. (which I enjoy and am very blessed that I still have a friend from HS to talk about faith) He briefly mentioned how The Chosen doesn't make people read the bible. 😑
To which I quickly and kindly replied, "It did for me!" If only he truly knew the huge impact this TV show has on 100s of thousands of all kinds of people, whether new to faith like me or some rekindling their faith. I truly believe God presented me this show which has lead me going to & volunteering at the church on Sundays, reading the Bible and Catechism every day, praying the full rosary every day etc.
God has been knocking at my door since I was in middle school, and this show was my breakthrough to get to know Him.
🙏❤🔥✝
God bless you for your commitment to the faith 🙏🏼
@@minimini4792
Father you are making this about Jesus complicated His message is simple love one another ❤
The Chosen has changed my life. As a cradle Catholic, I can now relate to Jesus as my friend. He washes dishes with me, and talks to me all the time. I love Him in the Eucharist and believe without a doubt that the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity are contained in it.❤💞☺
I just love this bishop going in full nerd mode. So funny, touching and enlightening at the same time.
He is brilliant.
The scene that got me was the woman who reached out and touched his garment. Can’t explain the feeling I felt. I literally cried
The purity of just touching His robe. The goodness released. The power. The men who lower their friend, through the roof, to be healed. Titanic acts of faith by apparently humble, maybe the poor, it's accomplishing acts of faith that others cannot.
Cried like a baby myself at that scene when she touched Jesus robe
So did I. I was actually cheering for her to get threw the crowd. when she just touched the tassel of his belt, that was powerful. Yes I cried....@@estherrotella5566
I was touched right away of Mary Magdalene when Jesus said, that's not for you. and then YOU ARE MINE❤❤❤I know truly that HE IS GOD
Convert to Catholicism here, I have enjoyed the Chosen immensely, it is very well done. I can see how it attracts lost souls such as mine had been before my conversion. May God continue to bless you all!
Thank God
Welcome home!
*And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.*
Matthew 23:9 KJV
*And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which **_the woman_** sitteth.*
Revelation 17:9 KJV
@@TheTenthLeperYou're stringing two scriptures together without knowing the meaning. Matthew 23:9 is talking about not giving anyone on earth the respect and authority that should be given to God the Father. Priests are called father as in a spiritual father. The one who leads and instructs the local congregation. They act in persona Christi. Are you telling me that you would take this scripture so rigidly literal that you would refuse to call your own biological father "father"? If your answer is no, then you know that there is nothing wrong with the word "father" and it can be used appropriately. For example, in my bible, NASB, 1 Cor 4:15: "For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel." Priests are fathers as Paul stated. Even in your KJV it says slightly differently, "I have begotten you" instead of "Father". This is still the same idea. Spiritual fathers are called fathers because they bring about children in Christ through baptism. Birthing them into the family of God by being "Born again in water and spirit" (John 3:5). Nurturing their faith through teachings and the sacraments.
As far as Revelation 17:9 I'm certain you are trying to use this as a proof text that the Catholic Church is the W**re of Babylon. This is generally claimed because there are seven hills in Rome and the Vatican sits on a hill in Rome. Well, I hate to break it to you, but the seven hills referred to in Revelation don't even contain the same hill that the Vatican sits on. So, this text does not really have any real-world correlation to the location of the seat of Christ's Church. So that must mean it is referring to something else.
The real hazard of Protestantism is that you can read your bible and come to the completely wrong conclusion. Remember we do actually need a teacher. As stated in Acts 8:26-40 when Philip asked the Eunuch if he understood the scriptures: "And he said, 'Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?'" You obviously think you have the right of what you're saying trying to use the bible to disprove the Catholic Church. However, you wouldn't even have your bible if it wasn't for the Traditions of the Catholic Church. God gave us apostles that created the church. Christ did not give us a bible. The Church, through the gospel writers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, wrote the scriptures and eventually compiled them into the cannon of the bible. This happened around 400AD. The Church that created the Bible would be the most natural ones to teach about it. The cannon of the Bible stood unchanged for around 1100 years until Martin Luther decided to disregard some of the books. The very bible you are quoting from has had books removed from it. So, please understand that you need the church to help you understand what scripture means just as much as the Eunuch did. The Catholic Church has been thinking of these scriptures for 2000 years. That is to say before the Bible was even complied the Catholic Church was studying the scriptures. And I do mean THE Catholic Church. The name Catholic Church dates back to around 110AD. Roughly 300 years before the cannon of the Bible was officially compiled. You are doing yourself a disservice by disregarding some of the greatest minds of history.
Jonathon Roumie's Jesus has made me want to come closer to the Lord. His performance is total gift.
The back and forth banter between Johnathan and Bishop Barron, especially the Homer Simpson lines, was so heartwarming.
It's beyond incredible how warm, loving and radiating he acts as Jesus.
He really understands and loves the teachings, and means what he says
I love the Chosen. It really strengthed my faith
I am a convert since 2014 and having studied Bishop Barron for a while and then watched Jonathan R in The Chosen has certainly help to deepen my Christian Faith❤
Excellent conversation! God Bless Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie🙏
A Catholic bishop and an actor, what could they possibly have in common? Faith in Jesus and desire to profess and proclaim it!
Amen
Jonathan Roomie is A Born Again Catholic
And to make the LDS church a crap load of money!
@@meme-vd5rm Money ok even wonderful depends on the intention of those with it and how it is used. In my experience having and not having both alter a person some for better some for worse. The worship of money is problems receiving blessings from the lord well that is a gift of gifts. So it is taken and it is given by God so long as we understand the church the actor etc perhaps will make a great deal of money and make the world if not their small world a better place
I tell the truth money aside the chosen has brought me much closer to God Jesus Holy Spirit they seem very humble and in awe of the lord too so why not ? No coincidences
Cradle Catholic here, went to Catholic schools for 16 years, “fallen away” and LOVE The Chosen because it has reminded me of what it feels like to feel close to Jesus. I am wearing my Miraculous Medal again and even went to mass. But that’s another story because the mass was emotionless.
Not to discredit the Novus Ordo Mass, but a lot of people are attending the Traditional Latin Mass at parishes that celebrate it. Can't really understand latin but it's just so sacred and beautiful. or if you can find a Novus Ordo Mass that's not stuck in the 70s, 80s, 90s, but actually celebrates it according to the Roman Rite.
@@SirenaWomanWarriorthe problem for me was that it wasn’t stuck in the 70’s and thats where I wanted it to be! I wanted to feel like I was returning “home” to the kind of mass I am used to but it was so different. Cold I felt. Latin would not do it for me at all. I need folk music and felt banners!
The mass is actually not for you. It is two parts. Liturgy of the Word and Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is a celebration of the Living Christ. It is you bearing witness to his suffering and him coming to you personally in the mass. Get to church early before mass and say the rosary. Don't sit and daydream and watch who comes in for Mass. @@touchedbyfire99
Hi I just wanted to suggest it might be helpful to read a few books or watch some studies on The Mass. They have helped my heart connect with what is really going on. Scott Hahn and Brant Pitre have good talks and books on the Mass. Hope this is helpful and that you find your sense of being home again. God bless you 🙏🏻
@@AZ1306AZ THank you for your suggestion and for your blessings. Same to you.
May the Holy Spirit continue to bless you Bishop Barron and Johnathan.
Yes! Bishop Barron mentions how perfect the Old and New Testament are depicted! It’s well done. Indeed, the Divine and Human in Jesus, true depiction of the Covenant.
We are Roman Catholics-brought up our 3 sons in the Church-but have really never been bible readers-I saw all 3 seasons on Peacock then suggested my husband watch it one Sunday when no good football was on- OmGosh-he loved it so much we’ve watched it 8 times-because there are always subtle things that we miss-and we bought Great Adventure Catholic bibles that we are reading-New Testament first and I’m listening to Bible in a Year on Hallow-we are 60 and on fire-because of Johnathon and The Chosen-his acting makes it feel so real -it’s hard to explain-we’re working on the boys ❤❤❤Much love and I pray for your cast and crew at night❤️❤️❤️
Amen🙏
I’ve realized, is that Bible in a Year with Fr. Mike Schmitz and the Chosen came out about the same time. What’s cool is to listen to the scripture then see it come to life on the Chosen in a relatable human way.
I had never heard of The Chosen until about a month ago!!!! Heck! I want to experience every episode. The few scenes I have seen recently have spoken to my heart. Listening to Bishop Barron and Jonathan, the actor playing the part of Jesus is so wonderful!
Thanks to all who created The Chosen, to choosing Jonathan to portray Our Lord, for this show and for showing our sinful world how much Jesus loves us. ❤❤❤
Get the ANGEL station on your tv and you can see them all, from the beginning. Be sure to read the brief explanation at the very beginning. CHOSEN isn't a quote from the Bible, it combines some parts, while trying to keep it accurate. The intro says it much better than I could.
CHOSEN has brought me much closer to my faith.
Mr. Roumie, The Lord has chosen you to lead his voice into the darkest corners. God knows your heart and your needs before you even ask. You have blessed so many and shown the love of Christ through this role in The Chosen.🙏💞
God’s hand is resting upon The Chosen. People all around the world are realizing that they need Jesus and that the Gospel changes everything! ✝️🙏🏽
Boy this is great. I would love a spiritual director like Bishop Barron.
Matthew is done brilliantly! I have a son with Asperger’s and it’s spot on! And it’s beautiful!
I’m Aspie myself and it was a delight to see us taken into consideration.
@@Rogsie-p6lI have a grandson who is as you called Aspie. He is the kindest loving young man I know.
I did not expect to laugh half as much as I did coming into this interview. The general air of levity is something we don't see enough of in the Church.
We see it a lot more in protestant churches. It shows in lighter songs, in more freedom to clap and dance (in some, but not all churches). There is a balance to be struck, because some churches don't show enough reverence. There is a nice freedom w/ not such a formal liturgy though. I do appreciate Catholic Mass and have attended many. I've been so blessed to do so as an evangelical Christian, because it's rounded out and broadened my faith. I do miss protestant worship. The old hyms are sung in protestant churches, but it's nice to have upbeat songs of praise that bring more joy and smiles too.
😅
I appreciate that. Some of the new Bible-based churches are mostly music, entertainment for the masses. No communion and a very brief sermon. It doesn’t feel at all like mass does! But I’m a cradle Catholic who returned after being away for decades. Now I’m hungry for the rosary, the prayers, fasting, alms giving and wise bishops and priests. I appreciate Bishop Barron ’s wisdom of church history. I’ve learned so much from him. Hope you keep watching his videos and keeping an open mind. God bless you! ✝️🙏🏻❤️@@saintejeannedarc9460
I’m pretty confident that “denominations” are irrelevant to God’s ability to love through us
Pretty hard to be confident in that when they’re heretical
Amen
I agree! It strange I'm watching this. I was brought up to fear Catholics you could not talk about them in the home I grew up in. Later down the road. I needed a place to live. YAWEH! put me smack dab with a born again spirit filled Catholic lady. it changed me! I no lo gwr feared Catholics. I'm not Catholic! BUT I believe Yaweh! orgestrated that to remove my fear! I don't believe Yawehsees a denomination! He! sees the heart! So! Yes! I agree! with you!
Convert to Catholicism here (5 years ago). God bless the Chosen, and all the actors/actresses, director, and staff. I know you may be astounded, but you are changing lives through the Holy Spirit.
Wonderful moderated review from the Good News Conference. Such joy and love of the Lord shown through all.
I am catholic and my fe is growing thank to you. Thank to your great work showing Jesús as a nice person and so natural and great like I am sure He was. Keep up the good work from Spain EU.
Jonathan is so adorable, just a great and truly humble man, funny too!
No acting all spiritual gifts come from God for he knows the depths of our hearts👀🙏💌
I love Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie's friendship they are hilarious. I love the Chosen. Enjoyed this video thank you for sharing.
I love how truthful Jonathan is here saying “they” wouldn’t let him come close to his Excellency before Jonathan became better known. Sums it up for me
What I love about The Chosen so much is how it is a wonderful joint effort among the body of Christ. It brings Catholics and all branches of Christianity together. A Catholic brother plays Jesus, a devout evangelical writes and directs the show, and different denominations of Christians give Dallas council and help him pray and envision the best portrayal of Jesus and the apostle's life that God can give him. It's what the bible tells us to do, and what we most fall short on doing.
They even have a Rabbi that they consult for historical accuracy about being Jewish at the time of Jesus.
@@kiutpi That's great input to have. I do like how they try and stick to historical accuracy and really show the Jewish culture of Jesus and how Jewish his disciples actually were. This gives us a much better idea of how it was than the typical Jesus movies that we used to have, which strived to show Christianity, but didn't highlight how Jewish rooted it really was.
So true!
Excellent comments !
Jonathan, I did what you said you did before you got your job! I also went through a few bad years and after giving up and asking Jesus for help, He sent me a job!!!
As a Catholic from infancy, I have practiced regularly, and also often read passages from Scripture. However, nothing blew my mind, and brought Scripture to life, like The Chosen. Thank you! A marvellous production that has helped increase my faith, and take a deeper look into the humanity of situations in Scripture. I particularly liked the way, for instance, Simon worried about his wife, and the way she reacted to him leaving. Also, Simon's reaction when he almost drowned after walking on water was impeccable. I just can't wait for more! Well done all!
It was so fun to guess/know which gospel story they were telling. I wasn't sure I knew anything about the show before hand besides it was popular.
And may I know what was your reaction from Jesus and Nicodemus scene?
@@dogseye_007 I can’t explain it but it was so..special
To have Bishop Barron there was good, to have Jonathan Roumy there was amazing - if Jim Caviezel had shown up, it would've been mind blowing!!
@@dogseye_007 I’ve rewatched that scene probably ten times now and it brings me to tears every time.
Praying for you and love hearing your testimony.
I watched the Choose. I cried every episodes.... It touch my hearts and Soul.. everytime i am broken. I replay and watch over over again.. It helps me a lot.
Don't forget the part Dallas Jenkins plays in all of this. Dallas and the other two writers, the other actors, the set designers, etc. have all been brought together for a reason. God is working through all of them to bring us all to him.
What a beautiful and compassionate God we have that He would do all of this as we navigate this very difficult time.
Jonathan is right. We need God so much right now. So, our loving God has once again stepped up, and He is speaking to us in a language we can all understand. Hopefully, we will respond to Him and cooperate with His plan to heal us, save us, and bring us home.
Exactly. God continue to bless Dallas, Ryan & Tyler!!!
Did you know that the Roman Catholic Church replaced the inspired word of God, the Textus Receptus, with the Alexandrian manuscripts called the Codex B or Vaticanus from the Vatican basement and the Sianiticus from a monestary.
God promised to curse those who add to His word or takes from it. Revelation 22:18-19.
Do you believe God or man?
@@judyswiderski2682 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Both. Fully God….fully man. Thank you Jonathon for your portrayal of Jesus. ❤
Gods grace and His mercy are coming through your portrayal ❤
The way Johnathon Roumie portrays Jesus, it's so heartfelt and spiritual. It draws you in, we know he's not the real Jesus. But the portrayal is heartwarming, it makes you want to know Jesus. It makes you want to pray. It makes you want to become closer to God.
I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I so appreciate how Jonathan portrays Jesus as God and man. No other actor has portrayed this as well in my opinion.
It"s amazing how americans work Jesus in a special way .Seems so closer to us.Always in the present.Here.Always today Everyday Thank you.Beautiful.
God gives all to all his people Jesus was just one man of many❤🙏💎
God is good..May God be praise..
About 30 years ago I was talking to Jesus on my bed and I was trying to understand His being half God and half man. I heard Him say I am all God and all man. I was astounded/flabbergasted and to see & hear Jonathan Roummei (misspelled) say that he prayed and asked to portray Jesus as best as he could to please the Lord... He has done a good job doing that.
Jonathan truly displays the human and divine sides. He does a wonderful job and it makes me love Jesus more and more every day and every time I watch The Chosen I crave reading my Bible and wanting to know more about him!
Me too & I have been fully committed, by choice, to our Catholic faith for 72 out of my 82 years. The Chosen has just added so much to my wanting to read and learn more of our Judaism beginning.
That's the Holy Spirit moving inside you, my friend
Exactly how I feel 😇
Me too!

Jesus said, You must be born again. John 3:3-8. "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Why? "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter i to the kingdom of God.
That whjch is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is spirit." Verses 3:5-6.
Born again is also called regeneration. Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary online.
'Regeneration means; Reproduction, the act of producing anew. In theology, New birth by the grace of God, that change by which the will and natural enmity of man to God and his law are subdued, and a principle of supreme
love to God and his law, or holy affections, are implanted in the heart.'
Humbling isn't it. We cannot do that on our own, even with tons and tons of repenting God.
Jesus said, My words are spirit and life." John 6:63. We cannot walk by the Spirit when we walk by our own understanding, called sin.
Ask God to send the Holy Ghost, Luke 11:13. He will bring your sins to mind. As he does ask Jesus to forgive you. This will be painful, pride hates it!
When you see your desperate need, call out to Jesus to see save you. He came to save sinners.
Then do as the risen Jesus commanded, be baptized. Matthew 28:18-20. Peter preached it. Acts 2:38. ( The followers of Jesus baptized while Jesus still walked this earth. Peter would have bern bsptuzed then). Paul did it. Acts 22:16. John's baptism is a water baptism of repentance.
Mark 1:1-5, Luke 3:3, Acts 13:24, Acts 19:4.
Think on Mark 16:16, John 3:3-8, 2 Peter 3:9, Romans 6:3-11, 1 Corinthians 12:13 and Colossians 2:6-15.
Will your love of this image lead you there or does it deceive by thinking this is what it is all about?
This is a such a wonderful conversation with two real Christians. Praise God for his goodness.
When I first started watching ‘The Chosen’, I thought Jonathan didn’t look like Jesus at all. But with each episode, it’s almost like he’s warping into how Jesus really looks like. His entire portrayal is SO captivating. There’s always one line in each episode that resonates with me, and then, I end up crying. And I cry even more when I think of the ending. My conscious mind always remind me: “Each time we sin, we are guilty of nailing Him to the cross again and again, and again.” With this in mind, I try HARDER every day to be sinless. My biggest challenge is to stop judging the many “donkeys” I work with. Not easy. “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
I totally understand you. People can be so unkind, thoughtless, even evil at times. I believe that they act in these ways because of some awful event in their lives and they do not realize that they need to forgive and move on. They could be stuck in mire!
@@evemahony671 That’s what somebody told me. Oh, there’s this one girl in the office, sleeping with the boss, lying about her many screw ups, can’t work at all, quite a bimbo, blames others and got about 16 people fired over the last 3-4 years and she’s so proud of her success! Its all over her Insta. Geeeezzzz unbelievable 🤦♀️. So evil …
As a Roman Catholic I believe with all my heart that Christ is divine in Human form He is
Yes, I believe that we absolutely do need more of God in our lives
It's God it's not by our works but by faith BELIEVE BROTHERS❤
Jonathan, the Holy Spirit is your guidelines and a teacher to you .
I love Bishop Barron and Jonathan together. They have a wonderful connection and complement each other well.
I just love how Bishop Barron and Roumie have insider jokes
Bishop has a great sense of humor 😆
The Chosen is the Best program I have ever seen, and Jonathan has such a gift in portraying Jesus … it’s like his eyes are looking right at me ♥️
Jonathan as Jesus is a symbol of great acting. Becoming part of the character of Jesus has immersed with Jonathan’s own self. He found the truth in the words of Jesus and becomes a wondrous portrayal of his presence! Love how Jonathan has his own sense of humor which blends into a truly human Jesus. Jonathan admits his flawed humanity could not become Jesus, but in prayer he asks for the Divinity shines thru. I would like to see this series become an Emmy entry.
me also but good luck with that.....
I never saw the Chosen, but this interview conducted by Bishop Barron, made it a must see for me! I've seen every other Biblical movie, I don't know why I missed this one. Thank you Bishop Barron. God Bless you all!❤
Thank the chosen for the scene when Jesus tells Jarius after he was told his daughter was dead….”don’t be afraid…..just believe.
Made me think of Joshua. Be strong and if a good courage.
For those who have dealt with the spirit of fear …..Gods word cures it all.
Don’t be afraid…..just believe and be courageous.
Jonathan,your acting is phenomenal and with great humbleness. Portraying Christ, IS your mission in this life.May many come to Christ through your portrayal as Him.
Thank you for stating this...beautiful comment
Dallas Jenkins heart and direction is amazing, especially for the role of Jesus. Along with Jonathan’s heart and talent. It’s all absolutely unbeatable and so very relatable. The Chosen is outstanding and what we all have needed for so long! God’s blessings for future seasons!❤❤❤
I wish more men were like Jonathons portrayal of Jesus. It's the most attractive quality to see gentleness, wisdom and a man with a purpose to make the world a better place. You can't help but fall in love.
Then when you see the miracles and you feel the Spirit of God. It simply humbles you. It brings tears to your eyes and gratitude. It's exquisite.
My admiration for Jonathans adaptation is the best and helped me and others!!!! God uses the script for good and salvation. That is what I believe.
as a sixty year old man I am so happy to see the Old and the New Testament combined to tell our story of Jesus....for me watching The Ten Commandments and The Greatest Story Ever Told...I needed for those Story as a child to be combined for me
The Chosen has introduced the Son of God to the World! It has lead people from all walks of life,to open & read the Holy Bible. I've read all the Old Testament. Currently reading the book of Numbers.
It is beautiful to see the younger generation, like Brandon and Phil singing about
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 🙏🕊️🙏
Mr. Roumie, Praise the Lord for answering His call to portray His Son, Jesus Christ. May the Holy Spirit uplift you and all involved in " The Chosen" series. I hope to meet you in Dallas in October (if you are there). I'll be the blind lady in a wheelchair with a testimony of joy through suffering, only by God's grace! Stay healthy, and get plenty of rest!
Serving Him Together,
Linda McKenzie
😮 (I actually am texting Jesus! How incredible is my life! 🎉
I love Jonathan roumie. He has brought me close to how I feel now. Peace be to me and anyone who is reading. I have fallen so far away from Christ and it is through his action has made me open up to the being and coming back to my life of the Bible and stories. I often go to TH-cam and read so I get a better understanding of Old Testament and New Testament ways. Thanks Dallas and the chosen for doing this for me.
Not the actor, but Jesus Christ
God is good!!
In this day and age where so many have no faith at all, thank you for The Chosen to bring Jesus to people who now may find God and want to know more. Jonathan, your acting is superb.
movies done to honor the Lord will be given a blessing
I was very moved by these series.
Jonathan Roumie had to feel deeply to be able to do this for Jesus ,our Lord.
I believe many were brought to Jesus through this.
May you always be blessed.
What a beautiful wholesome interview. Hopefully we see more of Jonathan on word of fire
If you're not there already, he's done a lot of work over on Hallow (the app). During this Lent, he and Jim Caviezel have been leading most of the daily sessions; there are Rosaries where you can "pray along" with Jonathan (or Bishop Barron, and more); you can listen to Fr. Mike Schmitz reading the Bible in a Year (and now, Catechism in a Year) - with each episode about 20 minutes long, it's the perfect length for my walk to and from work (and on days off, good for encouraging me to go for a walk anyway).
What a personality Jonathan has! Such an amazing man!! And Bishop Barron is right there too for sure!!! Their relationship is a beautiful thing. They should take their conferences on the road, what a show they put on.
Bishop Barron makes the solemn Catholic stature more relatable. We Catholics tend to be too serious because we think that's how we're supposed to be to be "holy". Wrong, we need to be joyful in our love & relationship with God & Jesus. We have a phenomenal opportunity to become closer to Them and these two showed me this in a new perspective. I love these two, their friendship, connection,respect & the joy they have with each other. What men of God they are ❤
Such a wonderful testimony from Jonathan. This really happens when you give your burdens to God. I have also had money drop into my lap like this, seemingly out of nowhere...and just when I needed it most. Our Father is truly our provider. We are His children, and He is responsible for us...so faithful!
The same thing happened to me. Praise God ❤
Continued prayers for both of these men in their ministry. We do have a great need at this time for true evangelization! May God bless them.
WWJD? After graduating from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, I became Catholic. God led me to start God’s Creatures Ministry. I was also chairperson for Catholic Concern for Animals in the USA. They are based in England and are international. I hope the Church will actively teach about our responsibility to God’s animals which He has compassion for them all.
So so so so good. These men truely love Jesus and the Gospel message
I love Jonathan’s story about putting his trust in God and how that turned his life around for Gods glory. And he’s right, this is what the world needs more of, this is what our culture needs right now. It’s beautiful to see men like Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie serving the Lord with the talents and skills He has blessed them with!❤️🙏 prayers of protection over these men.
God's love has no bounds🧠💥🙏
Thank you! I almost skipped the suggestion to watch, but so glad I watched. The light moments between Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie, the hopeful moments; and the bishop’s ever-present theological mind mixed with the humor and emotional warmth of the creative actor...what a great time to be a Christian! 🙏❤️
