In a phone interview with Fox News Digital on Monday, Los Angeles-based actor Jonathan Roumie spoke of his Christian faith, his prayer life and his hope that others may find peace and serenity during this Advent season of 2023 — because “any opportunity to connect to Jesus is a welcome one,” he said.
Roumie, perhaps best known for his role as Jesus Christ in “The Chosen,” has paired up with Hallow, the No. 1 prayer app in the world, for a special Advent prayer challenge for this holy season of preparation for Christmas. The 25-day prayer challenge began Monday — and as part of the effort, both he and actor Liam Neeson guide people through a variety of prayers, meditations, Bible readings and more.
This is no mere gig, however, for Roumie.
He is a committed Christian and Catholic, with his own personal story of growing closer to God and continuing to do so each day.
So it’s challenged me on that level.
But as it challenges me, it also allows me to go further in that relationship — and to deepen my prayer life.
