He wants to build a deeper relationship.
Actor Ryan Phillippe recently opened up about his profound spiritual journey during the filming of the movie “Prey.” In the film, which debuted this month, Phillippe portrays a Christian missionary grappling with a crisis of faith amidst perilous circumstances.
In an interview with Fox News, the 49-year-old actor reflected on his upbringing, where faith played a significant role. He spoke passionately about his evolving belief in God and the importance of positivity, respect, and love in a world often overshadowed by darkness.
Phillippe admitted to being in a “darker place” during the filming of “Prey,” but it was this experience that propelled him into a deeper exploration of spirituality. He delved into prayer and scripture, finding solace and meaning in his quest for understanding.
The actor expressed a longing for a closer relationship with God, describing it as a fundamental desire amidst the trappings of success and materialism. His time on set and the themes explored in the film served as catalysts for this introspective journey.
Directed by Mukunda Michael Dewil, “Prey” follows a couple forced to flee their missionary station in the Kalahari Desert, only to face further danger when their aircraft crashes in an animal preserve. The film combines elements of faith with intense survival scenarios, albeit receiving mixed reviews for its execution.
Despite criticisms of its narrative and content, Phillippe’s portrayal of a character grappling with faith resonated deeply with him, leading to personal growth and a renewed spiritual fervor. His journey serves as a testament to the transformative power of introspection and the pursuit of deeper meaning in life.
Great portrayal of the team’s performance and commitment to God in their team effort! I quit watching football after that incident where some of the players refused honor the flag. Maybe I’ll start watching football when the Dallas Texans are playing
