He remarked, “Discipline has always been vital to me in life. I discovered I required a lot more discipline in my life as I started getting into movies and made the switch from music, and that discipline has given me so many other things. I’ve been so richly rewarded for it, and I want to share it with others, whether that be through fasting, more exercise, distancing from other activities, or simply spending more time in prayer or introspective thinking. These things are crucial.”
When asked to summarize his religious beliefs, Wahlberg responded, “Oh, it’s everything.”
He continued, “It’s given me so many opportunities. God obviously did not come to save the faithful. He arrived to deliver the guilty. Focusing on my faith has given me the opportunity to become a better version of myself, which is something we all aspire to do.”
