‘I Have a Strong Faith’: Hollywood Actress Jill Wagner Reveals How Her Life Transformed When She Started ‘Talking to God’

Hollywood is often one of the most perplexing places for performers looking for true meaning. Actors might amass fame and bring in millions of dollars, yet some still find themselves lost, confused, and alone, lacking the purpose some falsely assume worldly possessions and notoriety will bring.

Actress Jill Wagner has spoken out about this reality, explaining how she went through a time in her life when she was “really down, and depressed, and kind of lost,” according to Movieguide.

Like many, the Hallmark star had found material success yet wasn’t feeling fulfilled.

“On paper, my life looked perfect,” Wagner said. “I was this actress, and I was traveling all around, and everything was exciting. But really, all I wanted was stability, and I wanted a family, and I wanted a husband, and I didn’t quite understand what was wrong with me and why couldn’t have those things.”

Life turned around for the actress, though, when she “started talking to God” and bringing her issues and problems to Him — a process she said enabled her to let go of the negativity and confusion.

Once Wagner turned to the Lord, she described the emotions that came over her as a “big bear hug.” She suddenly felt God telling her, no matter what, she would be OK.

“It was the feeling that no matter what, with or without a husband or family or anything that, I was loved, and I was going to be OK,” she said. “And then I started to feel like, ‘Wow, maybe I’m going to be good being alone by myself,’ but not really by myself because I had God.”

That realization comforted Wagner, and just one month later, the man she would marry — someone she met years before when she was a teenager — came back into her life. She said both she and her now-husband found their faith again, building relationships with the Lord and one another.

In the end, as Movieguide noted, Wagner’s decision to give it all up to the Lord sustained her, and she credits it for building her faith.

“[It’s] the reason why I have a strong faith,” she said. “And I didn’t find my faith until later on in life.”

Wagner previously explained in a video for Great American Family she didn’t find her faith until her mid-to-late 30s, and described the scenario as one in which her “eyes were open all of a sudden.”

“I started to see signs all around me, and God was talking to me every single day,” she said. “Whereas before…I didn’t have the lines of communication open up there. But they’re there.”

Wagner’s experience reminds us all that turning our worries and whims over the God is the best way forward in life. When we feel lost and aloof, He will guide us and sustain us; when we’re fearful of being alone, God reminds us He’s always there for us.

Beyond these facts, clinging to the Lord rather than fame, money, or material things is the best way to lead a fulfilling and purpose-driven life.

For KING + COUNTRY Stars’ Big Plan to Bring Message of Jesus, ‘Redemption of Humanity’ to People Across America

For KING + COUNTRY, one of the most popular Christian and inspirational bands around, is gearing up for the Christmas season in a big way.

Just months after singers Joel and Luke Smallbone brought their family’s story to the big screen in biopic “Unsung Hero,” the duo are heading back to theaters with a new project, “A Drummer Boy Christmas Live.“

The cinematic experience, which will run from Dec. 5-9, will make For KING + COUNTRY’s popular Christmas show accessible to people across the nation.

And the brothers promise to deliver a “sonic journey that blends the sights and sounds of the season with the musical mastery, heartwarming storytelling, and dazzling production.” Joel Smallbone told CBN News he’s elated to bring the show to audiences:

“One of the things that we love is Christmas tours,” he told CBN News. “And we’ve done one almost every year since the beginning of the band.”

But with the Christmas season so short, he said they came up with another option: bringing the Christmas show to movie theaters so even more people can see it. The band performed a show at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, rallied 12,000 fans — and created “A Drummer Boy Christmas Live.”

“It’s really beautiful,” Smallbone said. “This year, more than ever, I feel like we desperately just need to kind of keep the main thing the main thing, and these great hallmarks of humanity that are love, and joy, and peace, patience, kindness, goodness — let’s put them back in the driver’s seat this Christmas.”

Ultimately, Smallbone said “A Drummer Boy Christmas Live” is all about honoring the true meaning of Christmas.

“This is singing about baby Jesus, and this is singing about the redemption of humanity, and this is singing about BC to AD,” he said.

As for upcoming plans after the theatrical experience, Smallbone said For KING + COUNTRY is, for the first time since the beginning of the band, spending a year away from touring.

“We’re … going away to write and record … and we’re also going away to work on our next feature film that is going to production next fall,” he said, explaining that the band will come back to perform after these upcoming projects.

Bible Prophecy Playing Out in Israel: New ‘Patterns of Evidence’ Film Seeks to Unpack the Truth

Published

A documentary filmmaker is on a mission to explore the authenticity of ancient Bible prophecies.

Tim Mahoney, whose new film, “Patterns Of Evidence: The Israel Dilemma – Ancient Prophecies,” hits theaters Nov. 13, 14, and 17, told CBN News the events unfolding in the Middle East today are intricately tied to what we see happening in the Old and New Testaments.

Mahoney said the roots of his new movie were set in 2007 when he was working on another project surrounding the Israelites’ fleeing Egypt to head for the Promised Land.

As he navigated that story, he realized a great deal about God’s promises to Abraham had been misunderstood or had gone unknown to some.

“When we look at what happened last October with the attack in Israel, and then, shockingly, what happened with the campuses around the United States with the anti-Semitism, I realized that a lot of people don’t have any understanding of biblical prophecy,” Mahoney said. “The land of Israel was promised to Abraham’s descendants, and, so, that’s what this film is about — what are these ancient prophecies and how should we understand them?”

He said “Patterns Of Evidence: The Israel Dilemma – Ancient Prophecies” explores God’s covenant with Abraham and its establishment at Mount Sinai. Mahoney said he looks in the film for evidence of what’s discussed throughout the Old Testament.

“[Moses] wrote that in the future, these people would have a kingdom,” he said. “So, I’m looking for the kingdom. And secondly, he says that, if you have this kingdom … you need to obey God. And that’s part of the prerequisite — you’ve got to obey God. He says, if you obey God, there’s blessings, and, if you disobey God, there’s curses.”

Mahoney said the Bible also discusses what happens if God is disobeyed — that the people will be scattered and persecuted. And that’s not all.

“Then it says, ‘But God will be merciful to a small group of you, and you will return to the land,’” he said. “So, we’re looking for those five events.”

Ultimately, Mahoney said he wants people to understand the impact and importance of prophecy.

“What I want people to realize is that there are words that have been written down in the past, and, as time has gone on, these events that were foretold are happening,” he said. “And what I want people to see is that God is true to His word, and these prophecies that were given.”
