Jonathan Roumie, who stars as Jesus in 'The Chosen,' and the series creator, Dallas Jenkins, share their stories of how turning to God transformed their lives.
"The Chosen" star Jonathan Roumie explains how he turned to God during his lowest point and realized that he had to give his whole self to his faith.and series creator Dallas Jenkins opened up about leaning on their faith in their darkest times.
"All of a sudden, for this one span of time, I couldn't even get a catering job, and I had bills come in and I had rent," he said."And I got to the point on a Saturday morning in May in 2018 where I was out of money. I woke up 80 bucks overdraft, I had 20 bucks in my pocket and I had all my bills coming, and I had enough food to last me the day. So, I didn't know what I was going to do.
Roumie, who stars in "The Chosen," told Fox News Digital that his life changed after he completely surrendered to God. "All I can say is that God provided me a financial miracle when I needed it, when I completely gave myself over to his care.""I was actually coming off of a big career failure," he told Fox News Digital.
"And $10 million from 19,000 people around the world came in, shattering the all-time crowdfunding record," he said."And the rest is history." Despite the success of"The Chosen," which is now in its third season, Jenkins told Fox News Digital that his priorities completely changed after the events of 2017.
"They're like, ‘The creator of the universe lived among us and lived like I did.’ And I think that's been probably the secret sauce of the show, is that the dialogue and the portrayal feels authentic. And I think that for many people is unique in the space of biblical films." "And it's allowed me to not worry about the things that I used to worry about. I mean, I still have problems like everybody else. But I don't stress about it in the same way. And I don't react the same way. Or at least I try not to."
And then sometimes you'll see a portrayal from someone maybe who doesn't believe, who's trying to say something new about Jesus," Jenkins added."And Jonathan, he loves Jesus, which helps. But also, he is really tapped into something that's really, like I said earlier, is real and authentic about the portrayal."
"Inevitably, people see something of themselves or their situations or their strife or their struggles played out, mirrored, paralleled in the storylines. And so when they see them going through something, it's like, 'Wait a minute, I'm going through the same thing.'"
