‘Black Panther’ Star Chadwick Boseman Spoke Often About His Christian Faith

Chadwick Boseman, known for embodying black icons like Jackie Robinson in “42,” James Brown in “Get on Up,” and King T’Challa in “Black Panther,” spoke out often about his faith.
The 43-year-old actor, who died of colon cancer on Aug. 28, grew up in a Christian home and was baptized at Welfare Baptist Church in Anderson, South Carolina. As a professing Christian — even at the height of his celebrity — Boseman often spoke out about his beliefs.
Boseman’s rise to stardom seemed fast, but it took time, effort, and trust in God’s faithfulness. He was helped, too, by beloved entertainer Denzel Washington, who paid for the late actor’s study abroad tuition at the British American Drama Academy more than 20 years ago.
In the days since his passing, Washington has described Boseman as “a gentle soul and a brilliant artist who will stay with us for eternity through his iconic performances over his short yet illustrious career.”
The “Black Panther” star referenced his Christian faith when he honored Washington in 2019. Speaking during the AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony, Boseman quoted Ephesians 3:20, telling Washington, “May God bless you exceedingly and abundantly more for what’s in store than He ever has before.”
And in 2018, when he delivered the commencement address at his alma mater, Howard University, Boseman referenced several Bible passages, including Jeremiah 29:11.
“When God has something for you, it doesn’t matter who stands against it,” he said later. “God will move someone that is holding you back away from the door and put someone there who will open it for you, if it’s meant for you. I don’t know what your future is. But if you’re willing to take the harder way, the more complicated one, the one with more failures at first than successes, the one that has ultimately proven to have more meaning, more victory, more glory, then you will not regret it.”
After learning of his death, Letitia Wright, one of Boseman’s “Black Panther” co-stars who has also been outspoken about her Christian faith, tweeted simply: “This hurts. Really hurts.”
Fellow actor Josh Gad, known for voicing Olaf in Disney’s “Frozen” franchise, shared the final text message conversation he had with Boseman. In it, the late celebrity encouraged Gad to “catch the rain,” appreciate every moment, and “enjoy the simplicity of God’s creation.”
Boseman told his friend to “inhale and exhale this moment” and remember to “thank God for the unique beauties and wonders of the day.”
“We should take advantage of every moment we can to enjoy the simplicity of God’s creation, whether it be clear skies and sun or clouded over with gloom,” Boseman wrote. “And hey, if the air is this clear right now, and it does rain tomorrow, I might even put jars and bins out and catch the rain. Throw that in the water filter and have a water more alkaline than any bottled brand out there.”
In a tribute to Boseman, Gad described the young entertainer, who secretly battled stage-three colon cancer for four years, as “next-level good.”
“This was a man who was beyond talented and was so unbelievably giving, not only as a performer but as a human being,” Gad said. “Beyond just being ‘Black Panther,’ Chadwick was T’Challa in real life. He was somebody who just gave and gave and gave and never stopped giving.”
Gad went on to say 2020 “has been so devastating for some many reasons,” adding Boseman’s death just compounds the grief “because it’s taking away somebody who was honestly one of the greats.”
“I don’t know how to process this,” he continued, “but I want to send my love to his entire family and to all the fans out there. He’s gonna be missed.”
Pastor Samuel Neely, Boseman’s childhood pastor, praised the actor in 2018 for his commitment to his Christian faith.
Despite his accomplishments in Hollywood, Neely, who is now retired, said he could “still see the person I knew as a child.”
“When I see him, it’s almost like seeing my own child, he’s still Chad,” the minister told. “He did a lot of positive things within the church and within the community. With him singing in the choir, with him working the youth group, he always was doing something, always helping out, always serving. That was his personality.”

‘Give Everything Over to God’: Actress Patricia Heaton’s Powerful Message About Honoring the Lord

Actress Patricia Heaton is on a mission to honor God. From her faith-inspiring efforts to defend Israel through her October 7 Coalition to creating uplifting Hollywood content, she remains busy.
She told during the red carpet premiere of her new film “The Unbreakable Boy” in New York City this week that she believes God has been the key to her long career starring on shows like “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “The Middle,” among other projects.
“When you give everything over to God, He gives it back to you in a way you could never have imagined,” Heaton said. “I feel like God gave me certain gifts and so it’s my responsibility to honor Him in the work.”
As for her latest project, “The Unbreakable Boy” — a film about a family navigating the journey of a child who is both autistic and suffers from brittle bone disease — Heaton said she was elated to play a role in telling the transformative overcomer story.
“The story is wonderful and it’s a true story,” she said. “And it’s a story about a struggle that many families experience today — a child on the spectrum or even just if your kid has learning differences.”
Heaton continued, “You see a story where the struggles are not sugarcoated, but it’s hopeful and redemptive at the end.”
Amid a crazy and confused culture, the actress said “The Unbreakable Boy” tells a raw and real story that is much-needed. The encouraging nature of the film, Heaton believes, is the perfect respite for people who are trying to find peace amid the storms of life.

With the days of Lent just around the corner, a new movie following the final days in the story of Jesus Christ’s life is on its way to cinemas. And, today,exclusive first look at the poster and trailer for filmmaker Mauro Borrelli’s The Last Supper. Starring Jamie Ward (His Dark Materials) as Jesus, James Faulkner (Game of Thrones) as Caiaphas, and Nathalie Rapti Gomex (Love on the Rock), the media gives audiences a look into one of the most important stories from the Bible that will rise into a theater near you on March 14.
Introducing The Last Supper’s trailer is none other than renowned Christian singer and songwriter, Chris Tomlin, who joins the film’s team as an executive producer. The musician sets up the tale that audiences are about to see before the teaser rolls, which opens on a shot of the production’s titular meal, where we see Jesus (Ward) breaking bread alongside his disciples at the table of the Last Supper. As the religious leader addresses his followers, instructing them how to honor the practice of communion, scenes from their time together play overtop. Famous stories from the Bible begin to flash in and out, with Peter (James Oliver Wheatley) crossing paths with Jesus for the first time, the latter throwing over the tables at the temple, and the holy leader addressing the masses on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Promising to carry audiences through Holy Week, we also see Jesus’ betrayal at the hands of one of his own, his arrest, and his crucifixion.
Anyone who knows the story of Jesus’ final days knows that there are a lot of main players, meaning that the call sheet for The Last Supper is a lengthy one. Additionally, the Pinnacle Peak Pictures-backed film will feature the likes of Henry Garrett (Silo) as Nicodemus, Daniel Fathers (House of the Dragon) as Joseph of Arimathea, Marie-Batoul Prenant (Testament: The Story of Moses) as Rachel, Billy Rayner (The Catcher Was a Spy) as Thomas, Robert Knepper (Prison Break) as Judas, Charlie MacGechan (Pennyworth) as John, Ben Dilloway (Masters of the Air) as Malchus, Fredrik Wagner (The Playlist) as Andrew, Harry Anton (The Last Kingdom) as Simon The Zealot, and more.

‘Blasphemy’: Female ‘Wicked’ Star Cynthia Erivo to Play Jesus in ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’

“Wicked” star Cynthia Erivo — a female who identifies as bisexual and queer — is slated to portray Jesus in “Jesus Christ Superstar” at the Hollywood Bowl, an amphitheater in Los Angeles.
The 38-year-old celebrity posted about the controversial role on her Instagram story, writing, “Just a little busy this summer. Can’t wait!”
She also collaborated with the Hollywood Bowl in a post to her feed:
Erivo is not a stranger to “Jesus Christ Superstar,” as she portrayed Mary Magdalene in the incredibly controversial musical in 2020, when it was performed by an all-female cast.
The condemnations for the casting decision have been swift, according to Daily Mail.
One critic called the news “blasphemy” and “mocking Christ the King,” while another wrote, “Hollywood really is just a fishbowl of likeminded individuals; good luck with this one.”
“Cynthia should be more careful about the roles she gets,” added someone else. “This is just plain disrespectful.”
It should be noted the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd-Webber musical, which first debuted in 1971, is a very controversial and, to some, deeply offensive show known for depicting Jesus as a flawed man with doubts and anxieties. The musical also establishes the relationship between the Son of God and Mary Magdalene as potentially romantic and sees Judas in a more sympathetic light than Scripture portrays.
The short run for Erivo’s performance at the Hollywood Bowl is slated for Aug. 1-3.
