An actor known for mainstream roles in TV shows and movies like “Walker” and “We Bought a Zoo” recently discussed his Christian faith. Colin Ford told Christian Headlines that he usually shares Philippians 4:13 while working on set, a passage he also displays in his Instagram bio.<\/a><\/p>\n

He told the outlet<\/a>, “Philippians 4:13 is one of my favorite verses, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’ For me, those are, like, my power words. Whenever I’m feeling anxious or down, I say those words to myself, and I remind myself that God is with me at all times.” Ford said this verse helps provide comfort in life’s challenging times, forcing the emotions that come with tough times to “disappear.”<\/p>\n

Perhaps most interesting, according to Christian Headlines, is that this same passage is also referenced in Ford’s new film, “The Hill,” which hits theaters on August 25. The film is about real-life baseball player Rickey Hill, who overcame a disability to become a Major League Baseball player. The actor said the verse was in his Instagram bio well before he even read the script, but its presence offered confirmation.<\/p>\n
