10 Actors Who Chose God Over Fame In 2025

If 2025 showed us anything, it’s this: faith isn’t fading in Hollywood. It’s resurfacing. From acceptance speeches that thanked God first, to gospel messages aired on national television, to moments of raw honesty about how hard it is to follow Jesus in this industry, this year proved something undeniable: God is still on the move in Hollywood. In this countdown, we look back at the faith moments that broke the script. Kevin Costner returning to the nativity story on national TV. Candace Cameron Bure doubling down on Christ-centered content. Denzel Washington telling young athletes to rely on God, not the world. Dolly Parton refusing to stay silent about what gives her peace. Carrie Underwood encouraging worship on live television. Chris Pratt opening up about prayer, family, and surrender. Mark Wahlberg calling himself a servant of God. Nicole Scherzinger thanking God on the biggest stage of her career. Tim Tebow and Demi-Leigh using their platform to defend human dignity. And Kelsey Grammer quietly affirming his faith when many expected him not to. 👉 Ready to step into the abundant financial life God designed for you?
