About this sermon
What does it cost to portray Jesus Christ? In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Fr. Mike Schmitz sits down with Jonathan Roumie, the actor who portrays Jesus in The Chosen, to reflect on vocation, suffering, reverence, and what it truly means to enter into Christ’s Passion. Jonathan opens up about how portraying Jesus—especially through the Passion and crucifixion—has changed him on a spiritual, emotional, and even physical level. From childhood experiences that mysteriously prepared him for this role, to the lasting impact the Passion continues to have on his prayer life, his experience of the Eucharist, and his understanding of suffering, this conversation goes far beyond acting. 👉 Whether you’re a longtime fan of The Chosen, a listener of Bible in a Year, or someone searching for meaning in suffering, this conversation will challenge and encourage you to go deeper. 🎧 Be sure to check out the Bible in a Year bonus commentary for Days 1-5 in 2026 free on the Ascension App. Go to https://ascensionpress.com/pages/ascension-app to download the app. — MORE FROM ASCENSION — 🔸Ascension App: https://link.ascension-app.com/lMuydd... 🔸The Great Adventure Bible: https://tinyurl.com/y6lfxzyt 🔸 Catechism of the Catholic Church, Ascension Edition: https://tinyurl.com/25nskztb — SOCIAL MEDIA — 🔸Facebook: / ascensionpress 🔸Twitter: / ascensionpress 🔸LinkedIn: / ascension-press 🔸Instagram: / ascensionpress 🔸Subscribe: @AscensionPresents — BULLDOG CATHOLIC — 🔸YouTube: / @bulldogcatholic 🔸iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
