“Many have heard the story of Jesus preached, read it in Scripture, or seen it portrayed on screens large and small,” said Mark Ramsey, Co-director and Producer of THE CHRIST. “Through immersive sound, original production, and performances from stellar, award-winning actors, THE CHRIST brings listeners inside the moments that changed the world. This four-part audio epic invites audiences to hear the Gospel with fresh ears and experience the hope, love, sacrifice, and redemption at the heart of the story.”

THE CHRIST features a star-studded cast of beloved actors, led by Tom Pelphrey as Jesus. He is joined by David Oyelowo as Pontius Pilate, Paul Walter Hauser as John the Baptist, Courtney Hope as Mary, the mother of Jesus, Patricia Heaton as host, and John Rhys-Davies as the series narrator.

With more than 100 distinct characters and advanced sound design, THE CHRIST showcases cinematic-quality production that rivals major motion pictures, compressing an epic, two-hour storytelling experience into four powerful episodes. Every scene is rooted in biblical truth and crafted with care to awaken the imagination, stir the heart, and guide listeners through a profound spiritual journey.

“We are incredibly excited to launch THE CHRIST, a project that reflects our heart and legacy”, said Faith Media Manager, Karisa Rogers. “For more than seven decades, we have shared the story of Jesus in ways that reach people where they are, and we believe this immersive audio experience has the power to impact lives, deepen faith, and introduce new audiences to the hope found in Christ. “
