British-born actor Russell Brand has come a ways since his baptism by reality TV star Bear Grylls.

The 49-year-old comedian turned cultural commentator joined Tucker Carlson for a live event in Phoenix, Arizona, last week, where the former Fox News host, who was raised Episcopalian, asked Brand to close the session in prayer.

All to happy to oblige the request, Brand — an eclectic character who has faced allegations of sexual misconduct, all of which he denies — enthusiastically knelt down on the stage’s platform to pray.

“I call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our heavenly Savior,” Brand began his prayer. “Lord, I humbly [ask], in this great congregation in Phoenix, Arizona, with my host, Tucker Carlson, in deference to him, but in ultimate deference to You, our Lord and Savior, to whom we are all Your younger siblings and Your children.”

He continued, “I pray in Your name that the forthcoming election be an opportunity for unity, for America and for Americans, for forgiveness and for grace; that the dark and demonic forces that appear to operate at the level of the state — the deep state and the corporate and global world — experience Your light, Lord.”

The actor petitioned God to “guide all of our tongues and all of our words and all of our hearts, that we feel Your forgiveness and that we feel Your grace.”

“Thank you, Lord, for the many gifts that you have bestowed upon us,” Brand added. “Thank You for the glory of consciousness itself, in which we can experience You and live You. Thank You for the beauty of nature, in which we see Your wisdom and Your creativity and Your infinite glory.”

The celebrity expressed gratitude to God that he was “born and died, that we may be forgiven and that we may have eternal life, not through merit or anything that we have individually achieved.”

Sharing the Gospel, he said, “For surely, all of us are fallen. But, in Your holy name, we are forgiven by Your act of redemption, by Your sacrifice. In Your name we pray, amen.”

Carlson affirmed Brand’s prayer, offering an, “Amen,” in response.

Just a few minutes before his prayer, the “Death on the Nile” star said he “can’t see in secularism any solution” to the problems plaguing humanity. Those comments echo similar remarks he made last year, when Brand — a former Buddhist — said he realized his own need for a savior after recognizing the vanity of material wealth and societal success.

“We must be radically open-hearted, radically loving, radically forgiving, for who was the most radical being we have ever known, who loved more than anyone else, who forgave more than anyone else, who gave themselves that we might live?” he asked. “[I]n our Lord and Savior, I can see the hope and redemption that was promised us and that will be my path.”

For those who may not have been following British comedian and actor Russell Brand as he became a Christian and was baptized this past spring, his passion and enthusiasm for the Lord Jesus has been absolutely remarkable, and contagious.

Brand has been documenting his newfound journey with Jesus in daily posts to his X account, where he excitedly talks about discovering God’s Word and just how riveting and life-changing it is.

Recently, he teamed up with now independent journalist Tucker Carlson as he travels around the country speaking on the current election and many other pertinent topics.

In the post from the packed engagement in Phoenix, AZ this week, Carlson asks Brand to offer a closing prayer.

Brand’s response was beautiful.

Christian author and prophetic voice, Wanda Alger had this to say regarding Brand:

“The recent interview between Tucker C and Russell B (Phoenix AZ) was truly inspiring. As many continue to talk about people “waking up” to the truth, here is a man who is experiencing the most profound awakening of all. And he’s not only willing to talk about it, he’s boldly declaring the name of Jesus and the life-altering decision to die to self and surrender to his Lord. At the end of the interview, Tucker asked him if he’d be willing to pray for everyone. Russell jumps off his feet and kneels on the floor to pray without hesitation. THIS is the awakening we truly need.”
