Roumie’s Hallowed Advent Challenge

Where some past Hollywood Jesus’s shied away from their Messiah image, “The Chosen’s” committed Christian Jonathan Roumie embraces his Catholic faith & encourages others during Advent to also “grow closer to God … each day.”

As Fox News tells it, the Los Angeles-based Roumie has “paired up with Hallow, the No. 1 prayer app in the world, for a special Advent prayer challenged for this holy season of preparation for Christmas. The 25-day prayer challenge began [Dec. 4]. And as part of the effort, both he & actor Liam Neeson guide people through a variety of prayers, meditations, Bible readings and more …This is no mere gig, however, for Roumie.”

He explained he wants to share his own revelation that people can “disconnect from the chaos of the real world, the divisiveness, the anxiety” that exists by connecting with Jesus through prayer. They (like himself) can find “peace & a deeper relationship with Christ, & I think that’s really the goal of the prayer challenge.” Roumie said building a habit of prayer “is easier than people think … As you consistently tap into that habit, you find your relationship with Jesus growing deeper & deeper, just automatically. And as a result, you then experience much more peace, tranquility & serenity in your life & the ability to really muscle through some of the most difficult obstacles & challenges that life can throw at you.”
