Jesus & Emotions // An Exclusive Conversation with Jennie Allen and Jonathan Roumie

[@TheChosenSeries]

Playing Jesus isn’t an easy task but we couldn’t be more thankful to have Jonathan fill that role.

[@annetteshowlet4412]

What surprises me is that as a Catholic Jonathan follows a man based religion which is based on man-based idols ie Mary and the Saints. Nowhere is Scripture are we encouraged to venerate Mary as Catholicism does. Perhaps God is using Jonathan to bring him out of heresy and into the truth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Light not Mary. I pray He does.

[@Juliet04738]

@@annetteshowlet4412Maybe there’s more than just scripture . (which was put together by the Catholic Church in their various councils anyway, btw ;) & What do you think of the Church fathers ?

For Jonathan and others interested in prayinng for others with whom you meet: check out Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-18; Luke 10:19

@@I-am-a-Jesus-girl We're almost 69, same generation. Things are so bad in the world now, it must be close to the time for Jesus' return! Glory, can't wait. So sad how many friends have rejected the message of the gospel. All we can do is keep praying for them; only the Holy Spirit can open up their spiritual eyes.

[@CandyTerry-w5n]

I am 70 and I can't wait until I see Yeshua coming in the clouds. But before that there are tough times ahead. We are in the last days and we will need Yeshua's strength. Abba bless us.

My heart goes out to Jonathan. So many demands and expectations from people who don't know him. It must be exhausting. I admire him immensely.

[@carolinagarciazin]

I know right? We need to pray for him. He does such a great job!

[@canadasweetie]

@thatsandgirl. I think people need to separate the actor from the true God he portrays God he is not God, and I think people get confused and so engrossed in the series that if they ever run into him, they think that he actually is God

[@thatsandgirl3046]

@@canadasweetie I believe most people know he is not Jesus. Only a very few people who are not dealing with reality would think otherwise.

[@TOMReefer]

This interview is so revealing in a deep spiritual way. I’ve followed the chosen. When I first saw Johnathan out of his role as Jesus I was disappointed that he was no longer Jesus. However, in this interview I see Jesus in Johnathan as Johnathan. It might be because Jennie is in the spirit as well. Where 2 are more are gathered in my name, I am there. Best interview of Johnathan yet. I’m sure Jennie received as well. 🙏🏻😊

[@theresemarlette3260]

Thank you, Jennie, for this insightful interview! I love how you and Jonathan explored this topic! God had to have hand-picked Jonathan for his important role in The Chosen. Praying for him!

[@sandraturner6240]

Thank you Jennie and Johnathon, and the project with th Gen.Z age group was very powerful, and compelling!

[@Karen-c3d7i]

What an amazing and touching interview. I love Jesus more watching these two believers speaking of their faith and emotions. Jonathan has been given a tremendous gift of evangelization. Hearts are being touched. Souls are being saved. Thank you Jesus for this incredible series. God bless Jonathan, Dallas and all the people who have helped in the smallest or greatest way. They offer us this opportunity to grow in our faith. God is LOVE. ❤

[@cjford5458]

Yikes. His interviews get better each time he does one. I'm getting overwhelmed..what a perfect choice for this project. I pray for him for strength to stay the course and not fall into the fame trap. He really does need his faith to navigate this, I assume. Love him.

[@tbastrikes7847]

Hello Friend ❤️🙏🏾

[@bella_byrd_writes]

I find it so powerful that he suggested prayer first, then Bible reading, THEN finding a church. I’m becoming more and more convinced that without a personal relationship with Jesus, attending church is fruitless and even counterproductive.

[@joshuaramos6522]

You're right it is fruitless. Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian. It really is a personal love-relationship with Jesus.

[@joniahaworth]

Yes!! Something im learning too!

[@reneginn7866]

Yes! Me too. I’ve always harped on my kids to “go to church “. I’m going to go with this approach. ❤

[@kathysowers]

I agree with Jenny - I have loved the Lord tremendously for many years, and The Chosen makes me love Him even more. Makes me want to share Him more too. Wonderful interview, thanks Jenny. And it's always a joy to hear what Jonathan has to say.

[@Everyday_prophetic]

When Jesus walked the earth, society struggled with His divinity. Nowadays, society struggles with His humanity. I think Jonathan Roumie was clearly chosen by God to underscore this important aspect and bring balance back to the scales.

[@armoredWOG]

Good point.

[@darkwarriorzx7511]

“to be a great actor you have to be committed to total truth”

[@Nicki.followingJesus4life]

Awesome interview. I think there’s so many interviews with the same questions and you brought so much to the table. Great job!! Always happy to hear Jonathan’s heartfelt responses.

[@renateanzinger7241]

Great this interview with Jonathan! It's delighting me how much he appreciates prayers for him. We never know how much we can do for one another even at a distance! Greetings from Austria!🇦🇹

[@angelicatitus]

One of the very best interviews I’ve seen. Beautiful.

[@Sansan-iu1wr]

GOD chose Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David, the Apostles, and finally...JONATHAN ROUMIE!!! Excellent choice! No one could have portrayed our LORD better than Jonathan who have..."completely surrendered" to the will of GOD! TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY.

[@2012escapee1]

I hope that once The Chosen concludes, Jonathan takes a long, we'll deserved rest.

[@pompeom1]

If you think about it, emotions are a requisite for virtue. Without fear, there is no courage. Without sadness or grief, there's no love or compassion. None of the virtues are themselves emotions, but God, in His mercy, has made it such that we need to FEEL like He does in order to ACT in accord with virtue. Thank you Johnathan and The Chosen cast and crew for all you do to be the image of Christ in the world. May God bless your efforts!

Great interview. You are so down to earth. I love your smile and laugh. You brighten my day each time I see the show or a interview. God bless you and keep up the great work that you are doing. God is with you always. Great actor. We love The Chosen. It has brought me closer to God.

[@dorcasgilbert7029]

18:19 when Mary turned back to her own life because she got fearful & was triggered by the Roman soldiers. She didn’t think she was worthy so she went back to the life she knew, I related & so glad they put that in the story because I have done the same thing & have felt really bad about it. So many times I’ve done this. I loved the passion & love Jesus told had for her. It helps me to believe that no matter what you do God will always forgive you no matter what

[@madeleineschwarrtz7433]

AMEN!!¡!!

[@dreamias6846]

This actor is really chosen... We know many great actors who won Oscars for their acting but this man is born to play this role

[@dxbsid]

I know the Holy Spirit got a spirit filled sister who councils and hears the voice of the Holy Spirit and Jesus, at a Divine Mercy Retreat, tell me that I must watch The Chosen and be Still, to get closer to Jesus, so I am confident Jesus is proud of Jonathan for the role he plays to brings millions closer to Our Lord Jesus Christ. - The Chosen changed my life, but it was Jesus who got me to The Chose and so I glorify and worship Him every time.

[@christineandcarlmilitz2883]

Jesus said if I be lifted up I will draw all men to me! Glorify Jesus no one else

[@JaniceYDouglas-u7h]

Jonathan is the perfect choice to play Jesus, having his own relationship with the Lord already established. He’s moving in the will and grace of God and doing it very well!

[@sallyaversa7556]

In 1968 Jesus showed me what it was like to experience the fullness of God, He said we can have as we grow up in Christ. It’s like this - Jesus is more in me than me. I saw it recently in a friend of mine and I see it in Jonathan. We are the light of the world how else are they going to be drawn to Jesus? Everyone keep praying for The Chosen project and all of the people involved in it!!! Ephesians 3:19 - and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

He is so beautiful. He is truly a gift from God ❤️🙏🇦🇺

[@Righteous4Hope]

When you said it is impossible for you to lay hands on anyone and heal them, I think about when Jesus said that we would do greater works than He! I am wondering when we as believers are going to do/see the greater works? So many believers are suffering with sickness, disability, financial challenges or just keeping a roof over our heads! I'm proud of this show and the many people it is reaching with the love of Jesus in such a relatable way!

I appreciate and respect you for the rest of my life for such a big effect on my life. I was blind and now can see, I have melted on Jesus love and life become more colorful from time that I converted to Christianity. God bless you my soul brother and all chosen team. Greeting to you all ❤

[@brittanybradford9239]

What Jonathan should be proud of is even though it is impossible to live up to Jesus, the fact that people are searching for the face of Jesus that other wise wouldn't be is amazing.

[@isleofmist-music]

I love the show. Because of its emotion and I think anyone who is on a serious spiritual journey - Christian or not- can identify with the role of Jesus and the dynamics of his disciples, and the rest of the world that reacts to him. We all learn. I always loved Jesus naturally, and I enjoy seeing him portrayed as a deep human being of divine origin. Something we all are if we only look close enough! I don’t even know if the show intends it or not but to me it’s really going beyond a dogmatic religious angle, it managed to capture a genuine sentiment we all have! Imagine that Jesus came today, would we recognize him? What would he say about what we think God is… and what would he do?

[@msantanabrit03]

God is equipping him day by day. A true servant. Thank you Jesus Almighty Lord, for putting someone that had faith in You enough to carry this project.

[@esantiago4612]

Exactly since watching this show I love people more, and more each day. I am becoming more like my father in heaven who made me. More of you lord, less of me 🙏🏽🌈🐑❤ People must know about our Abba in heaven ❤

[@BrendaCoughlin-ed7lm]

I am praying that you never doubt what you are doing through GOD and for GOD. You are doing something for this world that only JESUS could do better. Your heart is in the right place and your belief in GOD and JESUS makes your performances mean so much, to believers and to those who aren’t sure they believe. You are winning people to CHRIST and are rejuvenating those who believe in and to worship and honor CHRIST and HIS sacrifice for us. I thank you for every scene you are in. This isn’t a joke, it is like GOD chose you to tell the story just like HE chose Mary to be CHRIST’s mother. He chooses those who will be the most to HIS glory. Thank you for being the way to make CHRIST be real and part of so very many lives.

Yes. My favorite season 1episode 1 God reminded me He called me by name and I am His.❤

[@mandylinnemann3936]

My take away from the series is a more realistic connection between me and him. That he becomes more tangible and that he does care and hurt with me and care for the smallest detail and counsels not always as a teacher but as a friend who loves me. And for someone who has had trust issues it pierces me in my heart in such a way that is indescribable. Makes me want to do and be better but also humbles me and allow me to see from different perspective and helps me become more compassionate and loving and forgiving.

[@susancampos8959]

This interview was great . Jonathan Roumie gave answers to the questions he was asked regarding emotional acting and how it effects his thoughts and action as Jesus Christ. He gave clarity to why and how he expresses himself as an actor to the other actors as the script calls for. . As the Apostles are learning moment by moment. With Jesus and they to are growing and learning their faith and awareness of the society they are living in Roman occupation. And awareness of what Jesus is doing to preach to the crowds of people, too. Alot happened in these recent sessions. Exciting and intense emotions with many aspects of thoughts around their mission and Jesus interests. . And short clips of " The Chosen", of different scenes he explained about as well. Over all a delightful interview I enjoyed listening to it. With more insight of these scenes and truths mentioned. A fan Susan P. USA 🇺🇸 Arizona peace and joyful blessings.
