Actor David Henrie Shares His Faith Journey and God’s Impact on His Life

Actor David Henrie shared his faith journey and how God has impacted his life. When he became a follower of Jesus, David mentions that it changed his personal and professional life as an actor in Hollywood. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear how David came to be a follower of God.

The world is a fallen and broken place. It’s full of people who are struggling and hurting. Most people are simply looking for something or someone they can rely upon, place their faith in and trust. Simply put, people desperately seek truth and meaning in a world devoid of both.

It was on this search, on this hunt, that David eventually found God. In a clip posted on YouTube, the “Wizards of Waverly Place” star says that he was after meaning and something real. After studying, David concluded that there had to be a God and that the world and everything in it had to have an Intelligent Designer behind it. This world did not come about by chance.

“There’s so much intelligence in the universe, and there’s so much rationality in it,” he said. “There’s so many numbers in it that had to have a Creator, and it was this lightning bolt moment where I went, ‘There has to be a God.’”

Later in the clip, David says that after concluding that God exists, he understood that he had to change his life. From that point, David says that his life started to have purpose and meaning.

“God in your life doesn’t just make things better immediately,” he said. “But He gives you purpose, and you have a goal. So, I’m not a hamster in a wheel. I’m still a hamster, but I’m going toward a goal. There’s a goal now. It’s not this infinitely circular thing where you’re chasing your tail all day long. Life is still hard, and life is still difficult, and life has suffering. But at least there’s meaning to it now, and at least there’s purpose. That, to me, made all the difference.”

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
