Blake Shelton has shared how Gwen Stefani has helped strengthen his faith. In an interview, the country music star mentioned how his faith has grown recently and the role his wife and fellow musician, Gwen, has played in that.
Hollywood is typically not a place where faith is openly discussed or shared. For the most part, entertainers are usually tight-lipped regarding matters of faith. If they do share their thoughts and opinions on faith and religion, it’s usually to denigrate or put down those who do have faith and believe in God.
However, during a recent interview with singer-songwriter Kelleleigh Bannen, the host of the Kelleliegh Bannen Show, the topic of faith came up during a conversation with Blake Shelton. She asked the former The Voice judge if he has experienced any change in his faith, given his age, his mid-40s.
Blake was quick to respond, saying that it has grown considerably as of late. He was also quick to say that he credits his growth in his faith to one person: his wife, Gwen Stefani.
“Yeah, I would say that, and that comes from Gwen’s influence, you know?” Blake said. “Gwen in, you know, I’ve learned so much from her and she’s really the person that’s helped me kind of, you know, of get in touch with my faith, and gets serious about it, it’s not just something that you say at an awards show.”
Later in the clip, he mentioned how Gwen has pushed him to constantly think about and consider his faith. He said that she always sees the hand of God in everything around her.
“And it’s really special to be around her because it’s, her faith is alive, and it’s incredible to be around her,” he said. “And she’s so happy about it, and she loves to share it to anybody that’ll listen, and it’s inspiring to be around her.”
1 Peter 2:21 “This is God’s purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps.”
