On His 45th Birthday, THIS Is How Mark Wahlberg Celebrated His Faith In Christ Today is Mark Wahlbergs birthday. Wahlberg, an actor and writer, turns 45, and he credits every one of those years to his Lord and savior Jesus Christ. On his birthday, Wahlberg attributes all his 45 years of lifes success to Jesus Christ. I pray every day and try to go to church every day. My faith in God is what makes me a better man, he says. Its the most important part of my life. I pray that I will live up to my intention to be the best husband and father than I can be. Wahlberg knows he has made some mistakes in life. Coming from the mean streets of Boston, he was involved in some youthful exploits that he now regrets. But he knows that Jesus Christ absolves him of his sins, and today he gives extensively to charities across the world, helping misguided kids like himself. He was addicted to cocaine as a teenager, and charged with attempted murder at the age of 16. I did a lot of things that I regret, and I have certainly paid for my mistakes, he said. However, it was Reverend James Flavin who helped him turn his life around. Wahlberg calls Flavin the one person who never gave up on me. Wahlberg says he owes everything to God and His Son, Jesus Christ. I never would have been able to change my life and have the success and love that I have in my world today without my faith, he says. Do you like Mark Wahlberg? Let us know!
