Actress Patricia Heaton, whose also a devout Catholic who frequently speaks out about social issues and her faith revealed she’s praying for Kanye West because people want to see him fail at Christianity;
“It’s very hard. I think when someone of his stature in the industry and someone who has his amount of fame makes that kind of proclamation.
People then really watch and scrutinize everything he does to catch him falling down.
I hope that he is able to handle that, because that’s what’s going to happen, people want to see him fail at Christianity.”
The “Everybody Loves Raymond” actress told The Christian Post on Tuesday;
“I was just listening to the Kanye interview with Big Boy this morning as I was getting dressed.
And I never thought I’d be downloading any Kanye West’s music, but here we are.”
West released his ninth studio album last week, titled Jesus Is King, and it’s loaded with scripture and gospel content.
The emcee and fashion mogul started hosting Sunday Service events at the top of the year that feature gospel music and, more recently, sermons.
A few months ago, West had announced that he was a born again Christian and found healing after he was diagnosed as having bipolar disorder.
The actress went on to state that “People are crying out for meaning in their life and for something that lasts, something that’s not temporary;
“I think that if you have the Christian perspective that this time we have on Earth is actually very small compared to eternity.
And that our lives are so filled with nonessential information — especially with the advent of social media —
There has to be someone talking about eternal things and talking about our souls, and people actually are hungry for that, even if they aren’t aware of it.
Heaton’s advice for West comes from her own experience of being ridiculed for her faith, but the Ohio native said she doesn’t care because people are longing to hear about eternity.
“We’re created for eternity. We’re not created for temporary life.
So I feel that even if I get push back on it, or people think I’m weird or strange, the fact that there’s somebody out there that wants to hear this, that’s craving this message? pushes me to be more daring about God.”
