Ep 1420 | From ‘The Chosen’ Set to Baptism: How Jonathan Roumie Helped Change Elijah Alexander’s Life

‘The Chosen’ actor Elijah Alexander opens up about the powerful first words fellow actor Jonathan Roumie spoke to him off camera and how they helped launch his journey to Jesus. Raised Jewish, Elijah tells Jase, Al, and Zach how playing the Roman Atticus eventually led him from searching for God to becoming a disciple and getting baptized on set. He also reflects on his lifelong love of biblical storytelling and his role as King Nebuchadnezzar in the upcoming film Daniel and the Fiery Furnace.

In this episode: 1 John 4:7; Acts 17:26-27; Matthew 28:19; Romans 8:28; John 1:38
