Family Conversations on Faith
Anna Faris said on the *Dear Chelsea* podcast that she and her 14-year-old son, Jack, have “long conversations” about religion. She described Jack as “solid as a tugboat emotionally” and noted that he challenges her by asking probing questions about topics such as pro-life positions and “mega pastors.” Faris said she is willing to “do anything” for her son, including exploring his request to accept Jesus Christ as his savior.
Background: Jack’s Birth and Its Influence on Pratt’s Beliefs
Jack was born nine weeks premature in 2012 and suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage. Chris Pratt has repeatedly linked that neonatal crisis to a deepening of his Christian faith.
Official Statements & Responses
Pratt told *PageSix* in 2023 that criticism of his beliefs is “nothing new,” comparing it to the historical persecution of Jesus. Faris, while not offering a direct quote, reiterated her appreciation for Jack’s willingness to “recognize hypocrisy” in religious leaders and expressed gratitude for the ongoing dialogue.
Verbatim Quote
- “Or I’ll say, ‘What do you think of this mega pastor that’s kind of a grifter?’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, mega pastors are the worst.’ So it’s like, ‘Okay, he’s getting there.’” — Anna Faris — Anna Faris
