Chris Pratt’s Unwavering Stand for Jesus: How Depression Led to Divine Intervention and a Life Transformed by Faith
Hollywood actor Chris Pratt, known for his roles in blockbuster films like Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World, has boldly declared his unwavering stand for Jesus Christ, revealing how his battle with depression became a turning point for divine intervention in his life. In a recent interview with The Christian Post, Pratt shared how his faith has become the cornerstone of his identity, even in an industry where such declarations are rare. “I care enough about Jesus to take a stand, even if it costs me. It could cost me everything, but I don’t care. It’s worth it to me because this is what I’m called to do, it’s where my heart is,” he passionately stated. Pratt’s candidness about his faith highlights his commitment to living unashamedly for Christ, a stance he hopes will inspire his four children to embrace the power of prayer, grace, and the joy that comes from a relationship with Jesus.
Pratt’s journey to faith was not without its struggles. He openly admitted to wrestling with doubt and failing to fully commit his heart to God despite multiple encounters with faith throughout his life. “The first time I walked up to the church altar and got on my knees and cried, I was a child,” he recalled. “The next time I did it, I was still a child, I was 19. And then the next time I did it, I was in my 30s.” Pratt confessed to making promises to God in moments of desperation, only to fall back into old habits and sinful patterns. “I’d make promises, but I didn’t keep them. I said, ‘God, save me in this moment, and I’ll give you my life.’ And then He did, and I was unburdened from the weight of my shame, my guilt, and my sin. But months later, maybe a year or two, I’m off doing the same stuff that got me down the wrong path in the first place,” he shared.
Despite these struggles, Pratt’s faith was ultimately cemented through a profound experience of God’s grace and intervention during a season of depression. He described how God’s love and mercy broke through his brokenness, leading him to a place of genuine transformation. Today, Pratt stands as a beacon of hope, unafraid to share his testimony in an industry often skeptical of faith. “I’m not going to hide behind it. A city on a hill cannot be hidden,” he declared. His story serves as a powerful reminder that no one is beyond redemption and that God’s love can reach even the most broken places in our lives. Through his boldness, Pratt is not only living out his faith but also inspiring others to seek the same divine intervention that changed his life forever.
