'The Chosen' star Jonathan Roumie on returning to sacredness of Christmas in culture rife with consumerism

"The Chosen" actor Jonathan Roumie opens up about this prayer life and focusing on the real meaning of Christmas in a culture rife with consumerism.

"Most of what I do throughout the day is more like a running dialogue with God," the 50-year-old New York native told The Christian Post.

"I bring my challenges to Him, listen for guidance, and try to feel where the Spirit is leading me."

Roumie's approach to prayer has evolved over the years, growing in frequency, intensity and intention, especially since his involvement with "The Chosen," the actor said. He credited his deepening relationship with God to this consistent practice. "It's about the purity of intention behind the prayers. When you earnestly seek God, He meets you where you are."

And this Advent season, Roumie is encouraging other believers to reflect and pray deeper as part of the Pray25 Challenge on the Hallow app. The initiative, themed "For God So Loved the World," explores the meaning of John 3:16 and seeks to reorient hearts toward the true essence of Christmas.

"The epitome of what all of us as Christians believe is that God came to Earth in the form of a baby [...] that would grow up to be a man who saved humanity by reconciling us back to God, the Father," Roumie said.
