BREAKING: Chris Pratt has opened up about a life-altering family crisis that deepened his faith, revealing how the premature birth of his son reshaped his spiritual journey. In an emotional interview on Fox & Friends, the actor shared his experience of uncertainty during his son Jack’s birth, describing it as “very touch-and-go.”
Pratt detailed the intense fear and prayer that defined those early days, stating, “When you’re in those kinds of moments in your life, there’s a lot of prayer and contemplation.” He expressed that this pivotal moment in his life transformed his relationship with God, saying, “I emerged from that much closer to God than I was before.”
The Guardians of the Galaxy star has been candid about his Christian faith, which he credits not only for guiding him as a father but also for bringing him closer to his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger. Laughing, he recalled meeting her in church, sharing, “I know you’re not supposed to be checking out girls at church, but I’m only human. And I thought, wow, she’s really cute.”
Pratt and Schwarzenegger now share three young children, including Jack, who still do not fully grasp their father’s fame. He humorously recounted a recent encounter at a Malibu coffee shop with Pepperdine volleyball players, noting his kids’ bewilderment at the attention he received.
Reflecting on his rise in Hollywood, Pratt recounted days spent living out of a van and working at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., a reminder of his humble beginnings. “It’s a beautiful thing … to think that I can come home from work incredibly tired, and I just have to imagine where I was 20 years ago,” he said.
In an effort to spread his faith further, Pratt is partnering with Hallow, a prayer app, to participate in its advent prayer challenge this December. He emphasized the importance of “bringing stillness to the chaotic holiday season” through prayer, focusing on Psalm 46: “Be still and know that I am God.”
Pratt’s heartfelt revelations resonate deeply as he navigates the highs of his career and the joys of family life. “It’s such a blessing,” he concluded, highlighting the unwavering faith that anchors his journey.
As Chris Pratt’s story unfolds, it serves as a poignant reminder of how personal crises can lead to profound spiritual awakenings.
