Reality television star Spencer Pratt is opening up about his growing faith, crediting his wife, Heidi Montag, with helping guide him onto “the Lord’s path” during his recent run for mayor of Los Angeles.

During an interview with Kayleigh McEnany on Fox News, Pratt spoke candidly about how his spiritual outlook has changed in recent years and how his wife’s faith has played a major role in that transformation.

“Thankfully, I married an angel who is very connected with Jesus and has brought me to the light,” Pratt said. “I was always not so bright in the light on the Lord’s path here, and thankfully, my wife has always just been so connected with Jesus and God.”

Pratt, best known for his time on the MTV reality series The Hills, said his wife continually encouraged him to trust God’s direction rather than carry the pressure of political ambitions on his own shoulders.

According to Pratt, Heidi often reminds him: “Spencer, if this is God’s plan, then it will be, and if not, then it won’t.”

The 42-year-old former candidate said that mindset brought him peace during an intense and highly publicized campaign season in one of America’s largest cities.

“It’s been very empowering to just pray and just be on this path and just say, ‘God, if you want me to save these animals, save these humans and protect my city, just keep putting me in a place where I can do that,'” Pratt explained. “And if it’s not God’s plan, it won’t happen.”

He added that surrendering control to God helped ease the emotional burden he felt about Los Angeles’s future.

“If that’s not the plan, I won’t be able to feel that anymore, so that will be a blessing also,” he said.

Pratt also revealed that he leaned heavily on prayer before participating in California’s recent gubernatorial debate, admitting he felt anxious stepping onto the political stage.

“I’ve never argued with two lying demons live on TV in a political setting,” Pratt said bluntly.

The reality star said he prayed beforehand, asking God for wisdom and strength.

“God, if you want this for me, please just have me destroy them live on TV,” he recalled praying before the debate.

While Pratt acknowledged the uphill battle facing his campaign, he suggested he believed God still had a larger purpose behind his unexpected political rise.

“Obviously, I know what needs to be done, but if it was only to expose the lies and the corruption of our beautiful city, I would have been fine if that was God’s plan,” he said during the interview.

Despite generating national headlines with his unconventional campaign style and outspoken comments, Pratt ultimately failed to secure enough support to advance in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman moved forward following the primary election.

Even after the loss, Pratt’s comments about faith, prayer and trusting God’s plan resonated with many supporters online. His testimony about Heidi Montag’s influence on his spiritual journey also struck a chord with Christians who appreciated his openness about marriage, faith and surrendering control to God during a high-pressure season of life.
