The Christ: An Epic Audio Drama for Easter 2026
With The Christ, the Faith Podcast Network is going all in for the 2026 Easter season. It creates something special that goes beyond the usual scripture readings.
The series stars Tom Pelphrey as Jesus and Courtney Hope as Mary. The production has a massive lineup, featuring over 100 characters brought to life by big names like David Oyelowo and the iconic John Rhys-Davies as the narrator. It’s shaping up to be the audio event of the year.
Tom Pelphrey’s Personal Connection to the Role
For Tom Pelphrey, this role goes far beyond just another acting gig. He recently hit the huge milestone of 12 years of sobriety, and the themes of fate, surrender, and personal growth in the script really resonated with him. Recording this series has allowed him to tap into some deep personal emotions, making his portrayal of Jesus even more authentic and powerful.
What sets The Christ apart is that it’s not just a traditional Bible reading. It’s an immersive audio experience designed to pull you right into the heart of the story.
The goal is to help listeners not only understand the moments but feel them on a deeper, more personal level.
