"Jesus Told Me to Talk to You": Actor Chris Pratt on How an Encounter With a Mysterious Stranger Led to His Conversion

Leah Marieann Klett : Jan 6, 2017  The Gospel Herald

"Pratt has no agenda. His faith seems sincere, because unlike some Hollywood stars turned religious poster-children, Pratt's faith isn't political. It's also not part of his 'brand.' It's just seems to be a part of who he is...He carries himself like a guy with a successful career who's trying to figure out his faith, just like all other Christians are." – Jesse Carey, Relevant Magazine

(Los Angeles, CA) — [The Gospel Herald] Chris Pratt is undeniably one of Hollywood's most visible Christians. From social media to live interviews, the "Passengers" star is unafraid to talk about his faith and share how God continually guides his life. (Photo Credit: Reuters via The Gospel Herald)

Now, he's sharing his conversion story, and, in typical Pratt fashion, it's anything but normal.

The actor, who is on the cover of the most recent issue of Vanity Fair, shared how, in his late teens, he lived in a van on the beach in Hawaii, waiting tables at a Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant.

Because neither him, nor any of his friends at the time, were old enough to drink alcohol, they'd asked someone else to buy them beer one day, and waited outside of the store.

Pratt recalled: "I was sitting outside a grocery store ... and a guy named Henry came up and recognized something in me that needed to be saved. He asked what I was doing that night, and I was honest. I said, 'My friend's inside buying me alcohol.' 'You going to go party?' he asked. 'Yeah.' 'Drink and do drugs? Meet girls, fornication?' I was like, 'I hope so' ..."

He continued: "It should've made me nervous but didn't. I said, 'Why are you asking?' He said, 'Jesus told me to talk to you . . .' At that moment I was like, I think I have to go with this guy. He took me to church. Over the next few days I surprised my friends by declaring that I was going to change my life."
