Personally Speaking ep. 144 (Jonathan Roumie)

In this episode of Personally Speaking, Msgr. Jim Lisante is joined again by Jonathan Roumie. Jonathan currently stars in the popular television series “The Chosen”, playing the role of Jesus. “The Chosen” is the first multi-season series about the life of Jesus, and is the highest crowd funded media project of all time, with more than 400 million views. Jonathan is also starring in a new film out in theaters called, “Jesus Revolution” opposite Kelsey Grammar. Jonathan joins us again to talk about his life, his Catholic faith and values, being a Pro Life actor and about “Jesus Revolution”.

Great interview, especially Jonathan’s story about giving his fear/anxiety over to God before his March for Life appearance. Such a wonderful example of fully trusting in the Lord.

[@rosiebaranek2909]

Yes God is truly using you God bless you and be with you forever

At 25:08 I love the way Msgr. Jim talks about integrating our spirituality with all other aspects of our lives. Thanks to Jonathan for demonstrating that.

[@ningajuarez4583]

Thanks msgr for nice interview with Jonathan roumie 🙏✝️✝️🙏❤️

[@CindyBoyd-iq4rx]

All praise to our Lord and Saviour. Congratulations. You are a powerful tool in Abba father Gods hands 🙌 🙏

[@cindymarie751]

I am thankful for the interview. You asked some of the questions and thoughts I had and Jonathan answered the way I hoped he would. I feel a little more compassionate about this role has affected his daily life. I can’t imagine what it would be like to not be able to go to church without people constantly coming up to you. The story about the mother and her son. To be someone who loves people, but there is only so much of you you can give. I have been praying for Jonathan often about these things and will continue praying. The apostle Paul talked about suffering for Christ. I think in whatever we are called to suffer, knowing it is for the cause of Christ does bring purpose in it, but doesn’t take the sacrifice of it away. Jonathan what you are sacrificing isn’t in vain. I just pray you will be able to experience His joy and peace in the middle of this like Philippians 4:6-7. In Jesus name 🙏 Amen

Great interview. Jesus Revolution was so good. I lived that era. This was so accurate. I’m loving all the revivals kicking up. Far out ☮️

[@joannawolfe1100]

Jonathan speaks so well!! It was such an honor to see him in person at the March for Life in DC in January! Many blessings to these two fine men as they continue to do His Work!!

[@Selahsmum]

This interview underscores why we need to be praying for Johnathan and I continue to do so. There is so much pressure on him, and Icertainly hope he is able to go to mass and still receive the sacraments and spiritual direction despite the craziness.

[@rosiebaranek2909]

Yes Jonathan Roumie is a greatman

[@dawnflasch608]

Beautiful interview. Thank you both so much. Everyone go see Jesus Revolution!

[@estellefoster4084]

Lived in California during this revival....praise God

[@bernadettezotter-dm5dq]

Thanks Monsignor, for giving kudos to Jonathan.

[@reginapasqualino9565]

GOD BLESS when I hear the profession of our Faith! It's such a gift to be in this time to be among "living Saints". I pray for HOLYwood, for more ethical, Christian and GOD-centered productions (and jobs, acting or otherwise!). THANK YOU for your honesty, Integrity, and Voice in Faith! It's also profound to hear, Christian/Catholics, in the entertainment industry who are not afraid to speak up, to perform in brilliant productions (Johnathon Roumie, Margaret Colins, Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, ...Shia Lebouf, now with St Padre Pio!!!, Mark Wahlberg, Jim Cavizel, Kirk Cameron, and more coming open to the LIGHT and sharing The LIGHT, revealing The LIGHT to the world! Of course Msgr, too! Your work continues!!... and the challenges you all face! I'd be humbly Blessed to be IN such company and to be IN such productions...this Industry is tough! I NEED to be in productions of such integrity! GOD's will...) I have yet to see JESUS REVOLUTION - AGAIN, GOD BLESS, AND THANK YOU !!!! AMEN✝ AMEN✝ I'd like to know how to gather more. But, that's GOD's job, yes? 🥹

[@aniff7]

Great interview. Thanks Msgr. Jonathan is such a humble person, God is always by his side. He's such an inspiration..I've learnt so much from him. I love the litany of humility which I got introduced to, through one of his Live videos. I remember him saying (paraphrasing here) that, God our creator is the one who holds (determines) our lives....and not people. I guess that's what makes Jonathan bold and do the right things. I've surrendered my lives and my kids lives (on their behalf) to God since I lost my husband. I now realise that God has always been there for me. He uses people....but it's His hand in everything. I just rely on God now and He continues to bless me. All praise, thanks, honour and glory to God🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽God bless you, both🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@eileenpollak4291]

Amen, Glory to our God Almighty!!

[@user-bq3xw4zs7r]

What a beautiful natural way your emotions,prayed with Gods Holy Spirit love is your strength from God, lots of us pray, as you must know……..Jesus loves you so much I do too .through and in the name of Jesus Christ . Our Lord Amen .you are a priest, xxxxxxx

[@jennyrodriguez5008]

So very proud to be introduced to Jesus Resolution by my niece Melissa Escudero. Touched by Jonathan's story gave me a spiritual lift and to know that nothing is impossible when you give faithful time with the Lord. May God continue to grace you abundantly Monsignor Jim Lisante for this amazing and spiritual program. 🙏

[@joolz5747]

Very good interview. Thank you very much. I have been following Jonathan for quite a while myself. Ever since The Chosen, of course. But I want to say about John Wilkes Booth… It was so clear that the devil had influenced him that he was doing good. The devil, being a deceiver, gets into a persons head, and lets them know what evil he wants them to do… But the devil makes it seem really good and wonderful. If John Wilkes Booth was immersed in the Lord and knew the 10 Commandments, he would not have done that… because he was deceived by satan and if you follow the 10 Commandments, and put God first… Not the government not politics… You won’t kill anybody! Pretty clear and simple in my mind.

[@lindaallor77]

This interview has blessed me. Thank you so much

[@kathysowers]

"His people from all over the world" - lolol - Jonathan certainly has that! So excited for the revival movements springing up around the country among the youth! I was 21 when some of the youth from the Jesus Movement came up to Northern CA from Southern CA, to my city and held a few nights of tent meetings - I got saved in that. Loved the movie!

[@skparling]

Feb. 24th I got over my fears and every excuse, leftovers from the lockdown, to drive all of 20 miles to see the Jesus Revolution. In 1969-1970 I had been a part of a literal moving of God’s spirit beginning with a Campus Crusade for Christ meeting at MSU leading to heaven-like experiences in Arrowhead Springs, CA, including witnessing on Huntington Beach. And then in 1972 shared in the excitement of Explo 72 in Dallas TX. JRev brought back the memories.

[@wailelealoha]

SO VERY glad you overcame your fears; I know it was not easy. God bless you for stepping out in faith. Glad you enjoyed the look back in your own history and saw a touching movie!

[@kathykelley6612]

Revival is happening in Bastrop TX also.

[@rosiebaranek2909]

I 💕 love you Jonathan

[@leahhussey1971]

Wow! Beautiful interview. Love, love 🤍 Such charisma and magnetism.

[@rosiebaranek2909]

I’m not a teenager but I will say Jesus is my total life. Jonathan this is all because of you and The Chosen

[@corinneromabiles2410]

Thank you Msgr. for this fascinating interview of Jonathan🎉

[@juliannerakowski7159]

I remember his role as John Wilkes Booth and have tried to follow Jonathan and his career 🙏

[@leahhussey1971]

Thank you Pastor, enjoyed your final comments. 🤍

[@jeanettecooper925]

Look up John Wimber Jonathan. He used to say "everybody gets to play". Meaning that we are commissioned to do ALL that Jesus did. Healing included. God bless 🙏

[@magorzatagosciniak1259]

I'm praying for you

[@carolynhinojosa7724]

Wonderful interview! Enjoy your interviews so much, and especially those with dear Jonathan!

[@PersonallySpeakingwithMsgrJimL]

Thank you Carolyn!

[@maureenfinnegan5543]

Wonderful interview.

[@rosiebaranek2909]

Your love of Jesus is so emminant as you play Jesus. To me you are Jesus

[@rosiebaranek2909]

Jonathan I pray that some day I will experience having you as Jesus laying hands of healing on my body. The Spirit has given me the strength and courage to go on with my life

[@marial4623]

Thank you both for the wonderful interview! God bless!

[@ONSTAGEMUSICPODCAST]

We interviewed Fr. Ray Kelly! He’s an amazing singing priest!

[@lynnjamesallen1171]

I would like Jonathan Roumie to explain his involvement with the knights templar (freemason) which is very dark with rituals. The dark cannot exist with the light. I would like to think of Jonathan in the light, but he must explain.

[@CJChesspnp]

Please cite the source for this info. First I’ve heard of this.

[@lynnjamesallen1171]

@@CJChesspnp well I cannot tell you where i saw it because of the sheer volume of content I watch. I've watched him in many videos. The one I am referring, he says he was knighted. Now, also saw him kiss the Jesuit Pope's ring. Maybe he just doesn't know about the jesuits or the pope, which is possible, but the skull ring he still wears is offensive also. I just keep my eyes open as all throughout my life, the one word i keep receiving from the holy spirit is do not be deceived.

[@skparling]

Lynn, you would really be offended if you saw what I had in my classroom for years: a full-size skeleton, including the skull. I taught all kinds of science: Astronomy, weather, geology, and life science. I had gifted students so I would have them learn the names of human bones. 4th-6th grades. The students named the skeleton Oscar. Never had anyone complain abt it or be fearful. Always showed a curiosity and wonder abt science. We would walk to the nearby cemetery to learn the names of trees plus see a wonderful rose quartz grave marker. We’d pick up trash on our walk back to school on Earth Day. Our skeletons are part of our lives.

[@CJChesspnp]

Lynn, the skull ring has to do with the practice of “Momento mortis.” Remembering the Last 4 Things’” Catholic eschatology. I didn’t know either, but I saw something somewhere, read into it, & understand why he wears it.
