In a previous interview, Jonathan also revealed how the series changed his life. A few years ago, he was in a difficult season and was planning to quit acting. However, when he decided to fully surrender his entire life to God, God called him into this whole new journey.
Working on the film also made him more dependent to God and more devoted to Him.
“It’s forced me to depend even more than I thought I was depending on God already for everything in my life,” he said. “There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t start with prayer and give gratitude for where God’s brought me through this journey.”
Jonathan also hopes that the viewers would be more convicted to study the Word of God and depend on Him more.
“I hope that they can feel inspired to go read Scriptures and be inspired by the Word. And maybe find the Church and get more involved in making God a greater part of their lives because your life only gets better.”
