Chris Pratt, known for his role in ‘The Terminal List’, has expressed that his most significant role in life is that of a father. In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, he highlighted the importance of faith in shaping his parenting approach. Pratt, who is married to author Katherine Schwarzenegger and has three children with her, also has a son named Jack from his previous marriage to actress Anna Faris.

He stated that he begins and ends each day with faith, which he considers the most vital inheritance he can provide for his children. Pratt has been open about his beliefs for several years, particularly in the context of raising his children in Hollywood. He aims to instil a sense of faith in their lives, asserting that it is the cornerstone of his daily routine. “My faith is how I start my day; it’s how I end my day,” he articulated, emphasising that he wishes to pass this value onto his children.

During a previous appearance at the 2018 Teen Choice Awards, Pratt publicly acknowledged his faith, urging the young audience to love God as he does. He remarked, “I love God! That’s my thing, I love Him and you should too!” His candidness about his beliefs has sparked both support and criticism, yet he remains steadfast in his commitment to discussing his faith openly.

Challenges of Hollywood and Faith

Pratt has addressed the perception that Hollywood is predominantly anti-religious. He contends that this narrative is misleading, asserting that the industry is more accepting of authenticity in beliefs rather than opposing any particular faith. “They are kind of pro whatever is authentic to you. And I like that,” he remarked, underscoring his pro-Christian stance. Despite facing backlash, he continues to advocate for his beliefs, maintaining that God has a plan for him.

As a father of four, Pratt regards parenthood as the most rewarding yet demanding role he has undertaken. He acknowledges the challenges involved and expresses a desire to learn from his own father’s successes and mistakes. “It’s an incredible blessing to be a father. It’s also a lot of hard work,” he commented, reflecting on his commitment to parenting.

Pratt’s faith was notably strengthened during a critical period in his life when his son Jack was born prematurely in 2012. Weighing only 3 pounds and 10 ounces, Jack faced numerous health challenges. Pratt described praying fervently during this time, which solidified his faith. “He had all of these issues going on. I prayed hard to God,” he recounted, explaining how this experience deepened his spiritual convictions.

Legacy of Faith and Parenting

Pratt has expressed a desire to raise his children with a clear understanding of his unwavering faith. He wishes for them to know that their father was unashamed of his beliefs and the power of prayer. “I want to raise my children with an understanding that their dad was unashamed of his faith in Jesus,” he stated.

He highlighted the importance of instilling values of grace, love, and joy through a relationship with Jesus. His willingness to discuss faith in a public forum is relatively uncommon in the entertainment industry, yet Pratt is determined to remain true to himself. “A city on a hill cannot be hidden,” he remarked, reinforcing his commitment to authenticity.

As he navigates the complexities of fatherhood and fame, Pratt continues to prioritise his faith as a guiding principle. On the professional front, the new season of ‘The Terminal List’ premiered on Prime Video on 21 October 2026, showcasing Pratt’s ongoing contributions to the entertainment industry while balancing his personal values and responsibilities as a father.
