Hollywood Star Mark Wahlberg Says Faith “Not Popular” In His Industry – But God “Came To Save The Sinners”
Some of those in Hollywood do respect faith.
Hollywood Actor Mark Wahlberg joined NBC’s Today Show to discuss what his faith means to him.
During the interview, the actor said, “you know it’s not popular in my industry but you know I can not deny my faith.”
Breitbart reported:
Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg has acknowledged that faith remains central to his life even though it is “not popular in my industry.”
In an appearance on NBC’s Today show coinciding with Ash Wednesday, the devoutly Catholic actor spoke about the role his faith has played for him.
“It’s a balance,” Mark Wahlberg told @SavannahGuthrie of his practice of discussing religion. “I don’t want to jam it down anybody’s throat, but I do not deny my faith." https://t.co/ijCgDGhBi1 pic.twitter.com/W6h0uXvT1j

“Savannah Guthrie: Your faith means so much to you. Have you always talked about it or did you feel at some point I have a platform here and I just want to share this part of my journey?
Mark Wahlberg: I have. It’s a balance. I don’t wanna jam it down anybody’s throat, but I do not deny my faith. That’s an even bigger sin. You know it’s not popular in my industry but you know I can not deny my faith. It’s important for me to share that with people but I have friends from all walks of life and all different types of faiths and religions so you know it is important to respect and honor them as well.
Savannah Guthrie: What does it mean to you, your faith?
Mark Wahlberg: It is everything. It has afforded me so many things. God didn’t come to save the saints, He came to save the sinners. We’ve all had things and issues in our lives. We want to be better versions of ourselves, and through focusing on my faith, it’s allowed me to do that.”
Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson released the movie “Father Stu” last year.
