“HE’S ASKED ME TO ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST” — ANNA FARIS REVEALS THE POWERFUL FAITH CONVERSATIONS SHE’S HAVING WITH HER 14-YEAR-OLD SON Anna Faris is opening up about an unexpected role reversal happening inside her home: her teenage son is the one talking to her about faith. During an August 20 appearance on Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea podcast, Faris spoke about her 14-year-old son Jack, whom she shares with ex-husband Chris Pratt. She described Jack as emotionally strong and revealed that he has developed serious religious convictions. (People.com) Faris admitted that faith wasn’t part of her own upbringing. But Jack’s beliefs have become strong enough that he has encouraged his mother to consider Christianity for herself. “He’s asked me to accept Jesus Christ,” Faris revealed. She told Jack that she would do anything for him, even consider what he was asking, but explained that such a decision would require “a whole lot of long conversations.” (E! Online) And those conversations are already happening. Rather than dismissing Jack’s beliefs, Faris says she challenges him with difficult questions about faith, abortion and religious hypocrisy. What seems to impress her most is that her son doesn’t simply repeat what he has heard—he’s willing to think through her questions and examine his own beliefs. (People.com) Jack’s father, Chris Pratt, has also spoken publicly for years about his belief in God. Jack was born nine weeks premature in 2012, and Pratt has previously discussed how the frightening experience surrounding his son’s birth affected his faith. (EW.com) Now, more than a decade later, Jack is having faith conversations of his own—and this time, they’re with his mother. Whatever comes from those conversations, one thing is clear: Faris is listening, Jack is asking questions, and mother and son are finding a way to discuss deeply different beliefs with love and openness. What do you think about a 14-year-old encouraging his parent to explore his faith? Could you have conversations like these with your own child?
