Actor Donnie Wahlberg and his wife, Jenny McCarthy, posted video to celebrate their baptism into the Christian faith this week.
On Monday, the couple posted the video celebrating their new lives in Christ, the Christian Post reported.
“Looking back over the past year of my life, the Lord has been renewing my mind, rebuilding my spirit, rearranging my priorities, recentering my focus, recharging my energy, reshaping my heart, refining my faith, restoring my joy and redeeming my life!” Wahlberg wrote to his 2.3 million Instagram followers. “I don’t know where I would be without Jesus, but I know where I will be with Him! All the glory is His!”
The pair were baptized by pastor Dudley Rutherford, of Shepherd Church, a nondenominational congregation in Porter Ranch, California.
Wahlberg also posted photos taken as they attended a CeCe Winans concert.
The actor has recently been starring in a CBS police drama, Boston Blue, which airs on the Paramount streaming service. Before that, he portrayed Detective Danny Reagan on all 14 season so the CBS drama, Blue Bloods. He is reprising the character on the new series, as well.
Wahlberg recently spoke about how he still felt that his life lacked meaning despite all his fame, good fortune, and wonderful family life.
“It’s been so difficult in the last year to realize I don’t… I don’t have them all. I can try and I know God’s doing all the work, but I finally got to a point where I was like, I can’t do it anymore without Him. I’m missing something in my life,” he said in April on the The George Janko Show.
“And I have a wonderful wife, wonderful kids. I have everything. So, as I am testifying right now, I don’t have a story of having everything and losing it. I don’t have a story of being a drug addict and recovery. God bless all those people who find their way,” he added. “Everything to the outside, to everyone, looks perfect and I was empty. I was empty without Him.”
Wahlberg’s brother Mark, also a famous actor, for many years has professed that his Catholic faith is “the anchor that supports everything I do in life.”
