<p>&#8220;The Chosen&#8221; star Jonathan Roumie told thousands gathered at the 2023 March for Life rally in Washington, D.C., that &#8220;we are under an assault on our sense of virtue&#8221; as he blasted the media and Hollywood.</p>
<p>During the 48-year-old <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYY2-wf-cl0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">actor&#8217;s speech</a> at the annual event on Friday, Roumie told the crowd that &#8220;God is real&#8221; as he and the group celebrated that &#8220;life has triumphed&#8221; at the first rally since <em><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/roe-v-wade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roe v. Wade</a></em> was overturned.</p>
<p>He praised the pro-life groups who have advocated for &#8220;the noblest and worthiest cause possible,” then called out the entertainment industry.</p>

<p>&#8220;As an artist in the entertainment industry,&#8221; Roumie said, in the last &#8220;several years, there&#8217;s been a sharp and disturbing increase in the darkness of the imagery being used in film, television, and music.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The landscape has become increasingly sinister,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And, in some cases, even demonic in tone, more so than in previous years, sometimes subliminal and oftentimes overt. &#8230; Many feature spiritually and psychologically disturbing content.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m referring to the media, which is even more ominous, and I don&#8217;t need to name names,&#8221; the star continued. &#8220;You know it when you see it. … Media has become a portal to behavior and attitudes kids want to emulate that reject God, reject the light, and reject ultimately all those aspects of community which give life.&#8221;</p>
<p>Roumie slammed social media and social media influencers, calling on Christians to &#8220;embrace the counter culture of Christ&#8217;s love&#8221; against the enemy that offers empty lies.</p>
<p>&#8220;They say we live in a post-Christian society. I reject that,&#8221; the actor told the crowd to cheers. &#8220;You can reject that. Change the culture by impacting the culture. Embrace that which is bigger than you.&#8221;</p>
<p>He closed out his more than 16-minute long speech by stating that &#8220;we are under an assault on our sense of virtue.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re enduring an affront to the innate holiness we are all imbued with and called to,&#8221; Roumie shared. &#8220;And an attack on the family structure and the sacredness of the gift of life.&#8221;</p>
<p>During a recent &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-chosen-fans-crash-movie-site-after-news-breaks-about-season-3-finale" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Chosen&#8221;</a> livestream, the creator and director of the fan-supported series, Dallas Jenkins, announced that the finale of Season 3 will debut in theaters on February 2 and 3.</p>
<p>The first two episodes of Season 3 premiered on the big screen with fans turning out, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/faith-based-series-the-chosen-hits-3-at-box-office" target="_blank" rel="noopener">making it No. 3</a> at the box office during opening weekend. It was later released for free on the <a href="https://new.thechosen.tv" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show&#8217;s app</a> and streamed with a message about paying it forward, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/costs-and-confusion-the-chosen-creator-explains-popularity-of-show-and-what-fans-can-expect-for-upcoming-season" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
