At just 14 years old, Jack Pratt asked his mother, actress Anna Faris, to accept Jesus Christ. Her response? She told him she would do anything for him but that it would take “a whole lot of long conversations.” What makes this story even more powerful is Jack’s own beginning. Born prematurely in 2012 and fighting for his life in the NICU, his father, Chris Pratt, prayed to God and credits Him with saving his son. Years later, that same child is now asking his mother to consider faith in Jesus. Sometimes, the seeds planted in a child’s heart become a conversation you never expected. Watch the full conversation and share your thoughts below. #JesusChrist #ChristianFaith #Faith

Ralph Fiennes tells Gyles Brandreth about the artistic drive his mother instilled in him - "you've got to get your guts into it".... In other words: don't do things by halves, throw yourself into every project. Is there a lesson your parents gave you which has stayed with you for life?
