Ahead of his \u201cFallen: A Gospel Record For Sinners\u201d DVD premiere, the musician and actor told Fox News Digital that his faith has gotten him through every moment in his life. He said, \u201cIt has gotten me through hard times. It has gotten me through good times, too. Good times and gratitude. I lean on God when it comes to the hard times as well. You know, we all need that. It\u2019s something that gives me a lot of joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, the \u201cParent Trap\u201d star talked about his cocaine addiction, telling <em>The Sunday Times, <\/em>\u201cI was doing about two grams a day. I was lucky. I had one of those white-light experiences where I saw myself being dead and losing everything I had worked for my whole life.\u201d Quaid told Fox News Digital that he grew up going to Sunday School, but he drifted away from religion as he got older. After he was able to get his \u2018life clean,\u201d he went back to his faith. He said, \u201c[I] read the Bible again, cover to cover, and was really struck by the words of Jesus, and that\u2019s where my personal relationship with Jesus started. That\u2019s grown over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G8UcMPCoUPQ?si=bQoMbC5ey7wi8tn6\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cSo, I wrote \u2018On My Way to Heaven,\u2019 which is the song that I wrote for my mother back in 1990. When I got out of cocaine school, as I call it.\u201d Quaid told Fox News Digital that, at that time, he wasn\u2019t relying on his faith in God. \u201cI was relying on other things that didn\u2019t work.\u201d\u00a0He explained, \u201cIt was the after. Getting clean all of that \u2013 that\u2019s where the personal relationship started, and that really does fill up the hole. It\u2019s a great way to live life.\u201d Quaid released his debut gospel record, \u201cFallen,\u201d last July. He told Fox News Digital that the inspiration for the project came from his own life. \u201cIt&#8217;s autobiographical,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;It turns out to be a part of the story. My spiritual journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on how important faith is to him, Quaid said, &#8220;When you get down to it, it&#8217;s everything. &#8220;It&#8217;s a God-sized hole,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s inside all of us that we fill with other things. It&#8217;s really important to me. It makes life worthwhile. It explains a lot of things that we don&#8217;t have words for.&#8221; Shortly after Quaid&#8217;s &#8220;Fallen&#8221; record debuted last year, he discussed how faith has been important in his marriage with his fourth wife, Laura Savoie.\u00a0Quaid met Savoie in 2019 at a business event.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, she was working toward her second Master&#8217;s degree at the Texas McCombs School of Business. A year after meeting, the two got married, and a year later, they paired her business expertise with his film experience to form a production company called Bonniedale Films. He told \u201cExtra\u201d in 2023, &#8220;God is in my wife and I&#8217;s relationship, and it&#8217;s another thing that I never really had before. She and I have such a beautiful relationship, and we pray together.\u201d The DVD for &#8220;Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners&#8221; is out now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dennis Quaid\u2019s journey with his faith is something he\u2019s proud of.
