β€œJesus told me to talk to you.”
Hollywood actor finds faith: Celebrity testimony Chris Pratt smiles in LA, sharing his premature baby healing testimony.

Living Lost in Hollywood

Before Chris Pratt became a household name, he was living out of a van in Hawaii, working as a waiter, and feeling lost. Despite a lifestyle of partying and substance use, Chris always believed in God, although his faith was often clouded by life's distractions. His turning point came when he was approached by a man named Henry, who told him, 'Jesus told me to talk to you.' This encounter led Chris to church, where he decided to change his life and 'gave my soul to Jesus within, like, two days.'

Faith Tested Through Crisis

After moving to Los Angeles, Chris found himself drifting away from his newfound faith, despite making repeated promises to God at various stages in his life. His belief was truly tested in 2012 when his son, Jack, was born prematurely, facing significant health challenges. In this moment of crisis, Chris prayed fervently for his son's recovery, pledging once again to devote his life to God. He later declared, 'God really saved my son,' and this experience reinforced his faith.

Taking a Stand for Jesus

Embracing his platform, Chris became unashamed of his belief in Jesus, stating, 'I care enough about Jesus to take a stand, even if it costs me.' At the 2018 MTV Movie & TV Awards, he shared spiritual advice with millions, urging people to recognize their souls and the love God has for them. Chris also engages with faith-focused content, such as the Hallow app, to deepen his understanding and share his journey with others.

Celebrity Christian Testimony Impact

Today, Chris Pratt is vocal about his faith, using his influence to inspire and bring light to others. He openly credits Jesus for transforming his life and encourages others to experience this change, affirming, 'He transformed my life. He can transform yours as well. I promise you.'
