This is a powerful documentary series where Jonathan Roumie invites us in to see a different perspective and what it means to be known globally. The approach and various inputs from some highly esteemed individuals lends itself to modelling reflective practice (in any industry) but also sound metacognitive thinking that brings together the head, heart and hands with the soul. There is submission to The Spirit. In a time, when so many young people are clamouring for instant fame or notoriety through social media, Jonathan raises deep questions around identity and the cost of high visibility. His rawness serves to demonstrate the difference between status (what others think of you) and identity (what we know to be true of ourselves). We all have an identity, but what we choose to root our identity in is a choice. For Jonathan, he positions his identity in Christ, not because he looks like him or even plays the part (as an actor) but because it is The Truth. As followers of Christ, each day (all the trials, tribulations and joy-filled moments) serve one purpose - to make us more Christ-like in our character and nature. To be Christ-like isn't to ascend in pride but to humble ourselves as servants of / for humanity. Through His Grace & Mercy, each of us has the opportunity to participate in the betterment and nurturing of humanity. If you are someone seeking 'fame' or struggling with 'identity' / 'fame' the series Jonathan & Jesus will lead you to better questions, hidden treasures in The Bible and knowing the power of daily prayer. Imagine a world, where each of us acted with the love & kindness of Jesus Christ and we saw the benevolence of God's Grace in each other. What a beautiful world that would be! But we are not there yet ...

I've had a desire to read the Bible cover to cover for awhile now. Historically, I've camped in books within the Bible or adopted thematic study or specific reading plans. TBR was recommended to me by two friends. I started a tad late in February, but it is easy to navigate & catch up. I listen to the Bible verses seeking out the God spot. The podcast adds another dimension. I've since recommended to others. Thank you. The commentary is well researched and considered. God bless 🙏
