The Hollywood actor, Chris Pratt, recently included Jesus on the list of things he “cannot live” in the last example of the artist proclaiming his Christian faith.
Pratt went to Instagram last week to create a list of “things I can’t live”. The list of 10 elements was “Jesus”.
Oxygen took first place on the 46 -year list, followed by organs, its own blood and its severity. Behind Jesus, there was food and water, the national football league, his wife and children, bass fishing and his “glamorous team”. The video accompanying the Instagram publication showed a member of Pratt “Glam Team” applying makeup to the actor.

“Just the essential elements,” Pratt wrote. “What can’t you live without?”
Pratt, known for having played in “Guardians of the Galaxy”, is known to boast his faith in Christ. He told the Christian Post in an interview earlier this year that “I care about Jesus to take a stand, even if it cost me”. He recognized: “It could cost me everything, but I don’t care.”
“It’s worth it for me because that’s what I am called to do, that’s where my heart is,” he added.
Pratt discussed the way he wanted to raise his four children “with an understanding that their Father was without shame of his faith in Jesus, and with a deep understanding of the power of prayer, grace and love and joy that can come from a relationship with Jesus”.
After years of fighting his faith following “the sinful and broken nature of humans”, the faith of Pratt reached a turning point when his son was born prematurely in 2012.
He told CP that he “had concluded an agreement with God” as his son had experienced “all these questions”.
“He really saved my son, and it was the moment [my faith] was cemented, “he said.” My heart has softened and my faith has harded. It was the moment when I said to myself: “By advancing, I will give my platform to God.” “”
“This platform was given to me for a reason,” insisted Pratt. “I want to say the people who believe in Christ. I want them to hear me and say:” Wow, it’s cool. He is ready to say it. I’m going to stand at work today and say it. “But I also want to reach out to people who have no idea who is God.
Pratt said that his faith influences his reactions to the return of flame or to negative comments from the American public. “If people don’t understand me, I’m going to pray for them, and then I’m going to go back and spend time with my children and play tag,” he said.
In addition to crediting God for helping to save his son, Pratt attributed the emergence of his house through fatal forest fires unscathed to divine intervention.
In a video published on Instagram in January, while forest fires engulfed parts of southern California, Pratt informed his disciples that his house was “always standing”, adding “by the grace of God, we still have four walls and a roof”.
Thinking about the preservation of his home among the losses around him, Pratt characterized himself and his family as “resilient”.
“We have confidence in God and consider it all a blessing,” he said.
