<p>&#8220;Reacher&#8221; and &#8220;The Hunger Games: Catching Fire&#8221; star Alan Ritchson talked about being a Christian in Hollywood and said it&#8217;s important that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/faith">faith</a>-based films are supported, calling movie theaters a new &#8220;pulpit.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 40-year-old actor has been involved in the entertainment industry for the last 19 years and said he definitely wants to be &#8220;part of stories&#8221; that honor Christ, <a href="https://www.christianheadlines.com/contributors/michael-foust/reacher-actor-alan-ritchson-wants-the-name-of-christ-in-movie-theaters.html">Christian Headlines</a> reported.</p>
<p>Ritchson admitted that some studio executives are only focused on the bottom line but said that doesn&#8217;t make it any less important that faith-based films like his upcoming film &#8220;Ordinary Angels&#8221; and the surprise hit movie &#8220;Jesus Revolution&#8221; get in theaters.</p>

<p>He said it &#8220;doesn&#8217;t change the fact that people are hearing the name of Christ in movie theaters.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And if that&#8217;s where the pulpit is for people who wouldn&#8217;t normally step foot in a church, then that&#8217;s still a great way to have that conversation,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It matters that these films get supported.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Reacher&#8221; star said when Christians support faith-based movies it sends an important message to Hollywood.</p>
<p>&#8220;Other people in [Hollywood] watch this and a groundswell kind of takes place in Hollywood that changes things in a real meaningful way,&#8221; Ritchson told the outlet.</p>
<p>Speaking about his upcoming faith-based movie &#8220;Ordinary Angels,&#8221; Ritchson <a href="https://jesusrevolution.movie/prayer-team">recently</a> said his movie is a story about how God uses &#8220;broken&#8221; people and those who don&#8217;t look like the &#8220;perfect Christian&#8221; to do His work, the outlet noted.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1681913061093000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1nSUp7X_GMxrPR-OuaxTA7">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;God continually shows up in our world in a way that kind of boggles our mind,&#8221; Ritchson said. &#8220;Because we, for whatever reason, I think we continue to buy into the idea that &#8230; God chooses heroes to do His work. And it&#8217;s just never been the case.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the broken and the dysfunctional that God proves His power and strength through,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And this a story of that, too. It&#8217;s important that we remember that those who maybe struggle to follow the rules, who don&#8217;t look like the perfect Christians, who are the broken, are the people that God has a funny way of expressing Himself through. And that story is very much told in Ordinary Angels.”</p>
<p>&#8220;Ordinary Angels&#8221; is set to hit theaters Oct. 13.</p>
