Chris Pratt found God in a rather strange way. While living in Hawaii, when he was young, Pratt was approached by a man who said, "Jesus told me to talk to you." From there, Pratt started going to church and soon became a devoted Christian. Once gaining fame, Pratt decided to share his faith with his fans instead of hiding it. Pratt has often spoken about how God has helped shape his life and praised God for his accomplishments. When his son was born premature and spent time in intensive care, Chris said that he turned to prayer during that time. In addition, when Pratt and his wife split up, Pratt leaned on his faith in order to get through the difficult time. He shared this with fans and encouraged them to turn to God during their struggles as well.
