Mark Wahlberg does not hide his religious beliefs; he has been rather vocal about it lately.

The author states, “So it’s about being able to separate from those things and focus on good habits rather than bad habits.”

Wahlberg said that on Ash Wednesday, he would fast from meat and eat only one meal, a habit he’ll continue through Good Friday.

He also spoke about how Lent requires discipline, which has helped him.

“As I started getting into movies and jumping from music, I realized I needed a lot more discipline in my life, and that discipline has given me so many other things. I’ve been so abundantly rewarded for it, and I want to give it to others, whether by fasting, increasing one’s level of physical activity, putting aside other pursuits, or just spending more time with God in prayer or purposeful study.”

He still takes care to avoid forcing his opinions on other people. While he believes it is crucial to spread this faith, he also stressed to Guthrie that “it’s important to respect and honor them [and their beliefs] as well.”

Mark Wahlberg is one of my favorite actors. I can’t think of many renowned people who are so open about their faith.
