- Actor Jesse Metcalfe said he's building a "much stronger connection" to his faith as he's getting older - and argued belief is an essential factor missing from most people's lives today. "I have a much stronger connection to my faith as I've gotten older," the "God's Not Dead 2" star told CBN's Faithwire. "I don't know if it's because, over time, life just humbles us all when we need to look to something bigger than ... our problems on this earth."
Metcalfe continued, "But I believe having a spiritual connection to a higher power is what is missing from most people's lives."
The actor stars in the new feature film "On a Wing and a Prayer," streaming now on Prime. The movie tells the "extraordinary true story of faith and survival," focusing on one man's journey to safely land an airplane and "save his entire family from insurmountable danger after their pilot dies unexpectedly mid-flight."
Metcalfe said it's amazing to be part of bringing a true story to life, adding there's a "lot more responsibility" when portraying a real-life person. "Sometimes, life is stranger than fiction," he said. "[It's] a pretty remarkable story."
Metcalfe believes there are some powerful lessons at the center of "On a Wing and a Prayer," calling it a "story about redemption." "But it's also about ... having faith in yourself," he said. "Ordinary people can do extraordinary things when you know life is on the line."

Joshua 1:9 - praying he becomes verbally stronger and courageous in his faith.
You have to put self behind,,,God first‼
Great testimony! Wow, life is turning many to God now 🙌
Yay Jesus! Welcome to the Family!! So exciting! ❤
He’s an actor and a Christian. God bless him. ✝️🎬
Wow 🤩
All of our lives, without God are like that plane.
Flying at high speeds, all over the place, in a Downward Trajectory to our untimely death.
With the World telling us ‘ You’re fine, You can do this, your headed in the right direction’.
When in fact, Your Only Hope of Salvation is in GOD Alone.
Let Go of the Wheel!
Let Jesus be your Guide
John 14:6❤
I didn’t hear him say that God is what’s missing, I heard a “spiritual connection and a higher power”…… disappointed in the way this interview was advertised… 😞
Yes! Thank you, all these comments are all “wow I’m so happy he’s a believer” except he’s not.. he never once mentioned Jesus or even acknowledged God in any sense. It’s that general admittance that “something bigger exists” and that’s it.
@@DwideShrude yeah so sad. I thought it too. And I dont think he is really saved. We need to pray for him that he comes to true salvation.
Hmm what about faith in God?
I always liked him
My admiration, a great actor with a good heart who acknowledges his struggles of life and turns to a higher power ... Keep it up, Jesse, this is the most beautiful and fulfilling way of life 👍👍 one can achieve ... Am proud of a person like you, the legacy you talk about will come to pass ...💯😊!
Great to know this!
I love this man's acting ability!
I’ve watched the movie. N cried to the Lord spiritually Alleluia I loved loved the movie!! ❤
Beautiful testimony.
Oh wow I didn’t know he was a Christian
He is.
@@Metalcomedienne thanks Captain Obvious 😊
What in this interview reveals he's a Christian?
And the higher power is Jesus the Christ, our Savior !!
Yes, it is sad that he talked about a higher power, not Jesus Christ. Pray for him to find the courage to speak in Jesus' precious name, our Savior deserves to be lifted up
Great movie!!!!❤❤❤
Awesome 👏 🙏😊🕊️
I’m not opposed to CBN interviewing people who are not followers of Christ. But I am a little upset that they fished for any inkling of God to use for a title for Christians to get excited and watch it- and yet there wasn’t any. They literally had to reword what he said to appeal to the church. He never said God or Jesus. He kept using the generic term of “faith” that unbelievers use. It’s grown me closer “to faith” not to God. Just some random hope that maybe somewhere out there things are better. True followers of Christ actually say they are and give all credit to the Lord- not some random “higher power”. Again, I’m totally fine with this interview- but not trying to blend these people in with the church. Also disappointed in all these comments saying “welcome to the family” and so on- he never professed faith in Christ once. Being in a couple faith based films doesn’t save you. I love this actor I think he is very talented and I pray he does give his life to Christ.
Very well said. We need to pray for him for true repentance and salvation.
It is essentail to point out sin tactfully but you can not ignore sin.
The title on here is clickbait. Nothing he said reveals he's growing in faith. He never mentions God, Jesus, or being a Christian. He says things like spiritual and higher power (hollywood lingo). He seemed more like he was trying to make it clear this film isn't even a Christian/Faith film and that films that do present faith strongly are generally annoying. I think he may have just been grateful to have an acting job.
I think he's been politically correct and not wanting to come out as faith person...We are in a position where faith in Jesus can't be hidden. The conversation sounds more new age
Agree
A great old hymn from the 1700s
ASHAMED OF JESUS by Grigg, J. (Joseph),
1. Jesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee?
Ashamed of Thee, whom Angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days?
2. Ashamed of Jesus? Did not He
Give His own life to ransom me?
Who shed the beams of light divine
O’er this benighted soul of mine?
3. Ashamed of Jesus, that dear Friend
On whom my hopes of heaven depend?
No; when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more revere His name.
4. Ashamed of Jesus? Yes, I may
When I've no guilt to wash away,
No tear to wipe, no joy to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.
5. Till then - nor is my boasting vain--
Till then I boast a Savior slain.
And oh, may this my boasting be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me!
I really enjoyed this movie!
Wow!!!! How cool! I’ve loved watching Jesse Metcalfe as an actor from Passions to Desperate Housewives to John Tucker must Die…..to God’s Not Dead 2!!!!
Im so so so very excited to see he’s becoming a force for the Christian community and an actor in faith based movies. How exciting!!!! He’s such a great actor!!!!
Hope he does better films though. Gods Not Dead 2 was awful.
I loved God's Not Dead 2 - he was wonderful in it.
Really? I thought it was awful. It had that awful persecution complex.
Proud of him
I read some reviews and they were really negative, like overwhelmingly so. When that happens alarm bells go off for me and I know from experience that the film is either completely horrendous or the critics have a vendetta against the subject matter. So I looked into things and turns out its a faith based movie and I know where Im from the mainstream media are very much anti christian so now I am for sure gonna watch this movie.
🙏👍👍
I don’t think this guy got born again tho js.
Miguel??
This guy is lost since all he is considering is own achievements. Very secular message.
:)
It's cool to believe what you want. Just don't tell me I need your religion because you presume to know everything about me.
But nobody did tell you anything about religion or presumed they ``knew everything`` about you. Actually, YOU are the one presuming people are telling you that. Want to talk about it?
Jesus is truth. Not religion. He is the only way and saviour. We aren't trying to convert people to ehat we believe as some sort of control, but because it is the only truth that there is. Only Jesus can save us and wash our sins away, cause only He is the son of God. He is the only saviour. He alone is God.
Gods Not Dead 2 was awful.
No it wasn't
