Despite societal pressures to cave in, some celebrities, including Chris Pratt, Candace Cameron Bure, and Mark Wahlberg, chose to stand by their convictions and be guided by their Christian faith when met with criticism.
Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow said pushback is to be expected “when you do stand for something.” Tebow told Fox News’s One Nation in November that he understands the pressures that actor Chris Pratt has faced regarding being open about his faith."I've heard Chris share. … We're friends with some of the same people," Tebow said.
“I think there’s a distinction between being religious — adhering to the customs created by man, oftentimes appropriating the awe reserved for who I believe is a very real God — and using it to control people, to take money from people, to abuse children, to steal land, to justify hatred,” he continued. “Whatever it is. The evil that’s in the heart of every single man has glommed on to the back of religion and come along for the ride.
Pratt has not been shy about sharing images of crosses and Bible verses on social media or talking about God in interviews.‘FAITH IS SO THE CORE’: CANDACE CAMERON BURE REFLECTS ON ‘DIFFICULT YEAR’ Bure faced criticism for her Christian faith and stance on marriage following her departure from Hallmark in April as the network began embracing pro-LGBT narratives. Since joining Great American Family, an upstart cable channel hoping to produce a wholesome alternative to holiday entertainment, she has been blasted for saying she expects that “Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.
Wahlberg’s career has had its ups and downs as he found himself in the midst of run-ins with crime as a teenager. In 1988, he spent 45 days in prison for racially motivated attacks. “I stick to the things I believe in,” Murray said. “Let’s just say if a piece of material were to come across my desk, which has happened plenty of times over the last 22 years, that I don’t necessarily feel is what I believe or what I’m selling — then that’s not for me.”
