On Tuesday, Chris and Katherine announced the birth of their second daughter in separate posts on Instagram. The couple posted almost identical posts on both their social media to celebrate. In it, they announced her name, which is Eloise Christina, and her birth date, which is on May 21, 2022.

“We are so excited to announce the birth of our second daughter, Eloise Christina Schwarzenegger Pratt. Mama and baby are doing well. We feel beyond blessed and grateful. Love, Katherine and Chris,” the father of three wrote.

Second daughter

Chris and Katherine gave birth to their first-born daughter Lyla Maria in August 2020. Chris also has a 9-year-old son with his ex-wife, Anna Faris. In an interview last year, Chris shared that he is open to having more children according to the will of God.

“I would love to have more, as many as the man upstairs will provide,” he said. “We’ll do it. I’ll probably have to talk to Katherine about that, but my plan is, let’s go.”

Eloise Christina

He also posted some Bible verses that call children blessings on his Instagram.

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” -Psalm 127: 3-4

Prior to his first daughter’s birth, he posted another Bible verse to praise the Lord for what He has done for their family.

“The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” – Psalm 126:3

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Director Defends Chris Pratt Against Critics & Cancel Culture

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

After critics tried to condemn MCU actor Chris Pratt for his Christian faith, the “Guardians of the Galaxy” Director defended him against cancel culture.

Cancel Culture

Being on the Hollywood scene is not easy for many actors nowadays, especially if one is an outspoken Christian. That is why star Chris Pratt was not excepted into the modern world’s cancel culture.

Many have been trying to cancel “Guardians of the Galaxy” star Chris quite a lot of times over the years. And now, with the recent release of MCU’s trailer for “Thor: Love and Thunder,” they have been coming against the actor again. People are demanding to replace him in his role as Star-Lord.

Director Backfires

The actor didn’t hide his Christian faith and opened up about it to the public. That’s when people began to attack him.

Thank God, the actor has loyal friends who back him up every time attacks come against him. And this time, it was the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Director James Gunn who defended him.

In a Twitter post canceling Chris Pratt and suggesting to be replaced by “Aquaman” star Patrick Wilson, the director replied.

“For what? Because of your made-up, utterly-false beliefs about him?” he wrote. “For something that someone else told you about him that’s not true? Chris Pratt would never be replaced as Star-Lord but, if he ever was, we would all be going with him.”

Not Cancel-Worthy Accusations

Furthermore, canceling the actor also confused many because Chris hadn’t done anything “as cancel-worthy.”

One Twitter user also replied to the post, “Wait, why? I’m so lost. Everyone loved him a few years ago then you guys found out he went to church and that’s it?”

NK News social media editor Oliver Jia also defended Chris Pratt. He said that people’s issues aren’t true at all.

He wrote, “There is zero evidence to suggest he holds any kind of homophobic or bigoted views. You’re trying to cancel someone who doesn’t exist.”

Then he said those people trying to cancel the actor have “fickle” minds for believing baseless rumors.

“You can also be canceled for *not* taking a stance or position on something, even when you’re not qualified to do so,” he added. “Imagine being canceled for doing nothing. This is a religion for vengeful people who think they’re achieving something by ruining innocent people’s lives.”

Robert Downey Defends Chris Pratt from Cancel Culture Leftists, Calls Pratt ‘A Real Christian’

by Christel Berns
written by Christel Berns

Iron Man actor, Robert Downey Jr. defends Chris Pratt after cancel culture leftists attack the Guardians Of The Galaxy star for his alleged conservative political beliefs as a Christian.

Cyberbullies stormed the post of film writer Amy Berg where she shared photos of Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and Chris Pine. She then, in the caption among the Hollywood “Chris,” said “one has to go” as if it were true.

Cancel Culture Attacks Chris Pratt

Immediately, negative attacks from leftists came after Chris Pratt calling him “conservative Trumper” and a “Bible pusher.”

Shortly after, his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger shared a tweet in defense of her husband. She wrote, “There’s so much going on in the world and people are struggling in so many ways. Being mean is so yesterday. There’s enough room to love all these guys. Love is what we all need not meanness and bullying. Let’s try that.”

Moreover, some of Chris Pratt’s fellow Marvel actors spoke up to defend the Guardians Of The Galaxy actor—Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana, and Jeremy Renner.

Robert Downey Defends Fellow Marvel Actor

The Iron Man star, Robert Downey Jr. shared a photo with Chris Pratt and defended his friend. Then he captioned it in reference to a Bible passage in which Jesus defended a woman who was about to be stoned to death.

“What a world… The ‘sinless’ are casting stones at my #brother, Chris Pratt,” he wrote.

Then he goes on, “A real #Christian who lives by #principle, has never demonstrated anything but #positivity and #gratitude.”

The Hulk actor Mark Ruffalo also tweeted, “You all, @prattprattpratt is as solid a man there is. I know him personally, and instead of casting aspersions, look at how he lives his life. He is just not overtly political as a rule. This is a distraction. Let’s keep our eyes on the prize, friends. We are so close now.”

Moreover, Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn spoke up for Chris Pratt’s defense. He tweeted, “Please stop assuming what he believes, politically or in any other way because he’s a Christian.”

But whatever internet bullies call the Christian Hollywood actor, Chris remains firm on his Christian faith. He doesn’t hide it as his Instagram bio reads, “I love Jesus…” quoting Philippians 4:13 which says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

written by Rhoda Gayle

Christian actor Chris Pratt accidentally gave away a $5700 trip to Mexico to one of “Live With Kelly” viewers.

Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt has always been open about his Christian beliefs and values. There was even countless moment that the public saw how he stood up for what is right. Aside from his values, he also boldly shares with the world about his faith.

The actor recently made it into the headlines when he accidentally gave away a trip to Mexico while on TV. When Chris guest-starred as a co-host on “Live With Kelly,” he accidentally made a huge mistake. However, with his kind heart, he immediately stepped up to take full responsibility and correct his mistake.

“Live With Kelly”

A $5700 trip to Mexico awaits the blessed trivia caller that could answer the movie trivia with just a try. But things started to get mixed up when the caller named Melissa answered incorrectly. Being gracious as he is, Chris gave Melissa another chance to answer the question while cheering on her.

“No, but we’re gonna be wishy-washy and give you a second guess,” Chris told the caller.

Chris accidentally gave $5700

Melissa then answered correctly “Cape Fear” on her second attempt. While Kelly Ripa covered her face in shock, Chris cheered for joy declaring that Melissa won the prize.

The 41-year-old actor quickly realized what he did wrong and asked Kelly about it.

“Did I break the rules? They don’t let us do that?” he said puzzled.

Upon learning that he did break the show’s rule, Chris immediately saved the moment by saying that he will pay for Melissa’s trip.

“I’ll cover it. I’ll cover it. I’ll send her. I’ll give her 5,700 bucks. She can go. You won!”

After recovering from her shock, Kelly also took part in giving away the prize by splitting the $5700. Later on the show, Denzel Washington, who was also well-known for his humanitarian deeds, pledged to also take part in sending Melissa to her trip. Chris, Denzel, and Kelly will split the $5700 among themselves to give it as a prize for Melissa.

Bold In His Christian Faith

Chris Pratt has always been vocal on his faith to the public. During MTV Movie & TV Awards in 2018, he told the audience without hesitation, “God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you. Believe that – I do.”

Moreover, he shared what Christ did on the Cross. To simply write it, he preached the Gospel.

“People are going to tell you [that] you’re perfect just the way that you are. You’re not. You’re imperfect. You always will be, but there is a powerful force that designed you that way, and if you’re willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift. And like the freedom that we enjoy in this country, that grace was paid for with somebody else’s blood,” Chris declared to the audience.

Later on, he told the Associated Press about the speech, “It’s authentic for me to be pro-Christian, pro-Jesus. That’s my thing. I like it.”

Chris Pratt’s Post On Instagram Addresses How Divided America Has Been

by Rhoda Gayle
written by Rhoda Gayle

Chris Pratt posted a controversial poem on Instagram about how divided America has been. The Christian actor ended the post by saying that “under God, we’re indivisible”.

The award-winning actor has always been open about his Christianity and faith in God. Using his platform to sharing his faith with with others has been his ultimate goal.

Ding-Dongs

The Marvel actor described the poem as a “hot new poem” with the title “DING-DONGS”. The poem contains social commentaries about how divided America is and how the media intensifies the division.

“Ding to the left.
Dong to the right.
The reverberations swell.”

The poem refers to the far left and far right and the prolonged chaos that the divisiveness has caused.

“Ding dongs on the far right fringes
Squeaking mad like rusty hinges.
Ding dongs from the far left squad
Fixed on answers outside God.”

The people also states how the media played with the division.

“The media plays them like a fiddle
Drowning out the healthy middle.
Pick your tribe. State your name
DISREGARD: WE’RE ALL THE SAME!”

Call for unity

The “Jurassic World” actor then ended his post by emphasizing that we are all children of God. He even calls America to unity.

“We’re His children despite race, creed, preference or age.
Under God we’re indivisible.
To stay United is our duty.”

Chris’s post received different comments. Some appreciated Chris for the bold post and support him. Others were unhappy with his opinion and were pleading him to stay away from politics.

Dropping a hot new poem I found. DING-DONGS Ding to the left. Dong to the right. The reverberations swell. Ding dong!Ding dong! They clang the outrage bell. Ding dongs on the far right fringes Squeaking mad like rusty hinges. Ding dongs from the far left squad Fixed on answers outside God. The media plays them like a fiddle Drowning out the healthy middle. Pick your tribe. State your name DISREGARD: WE’RE ALL THE SAME! (Burdened by a sinful heart and hiding in some form of shame.) Change the channel! Don’t be late! Pundits tell you who to hate! Who’s a racist? Who’s a fake? 24 hours of news to break! Skewering truths, spewing sewage, leading mobs of frenzied voices, With two choices, red or blue, And key points to regurgitate. Echo chamber ringing, rips the fabric of society. (Followed by an ad for a pill you pop to stop anxiety.) Get your blood a pumpin’ with some whisper fueled assumption, About someone who wore somethin’ or some singled out opinion among tweeters by the billions “But this one was so outrageous And egregious and alarming!” And you’re angry for the anger in your heart that had been forming Is on the verge of boiling over And you try but are unable Like Chernobyl in your heart the chain reaction is unstable And the blood pressure is higher than the moment just before… And the next commercial thankfully Is a high blood pressure cure. There’s a rhythm to this madness If you take a sec to look One option is unplug Put down your phone pick up a book But the other option probably is more helpful and realistic Find the humor, check the facts, and try to remain optimistic. Ask yourself the question: who profits from my rage? And prevent them from lining up their pockets with that booty. We’re His children despite race, creed, preference or age. Under God we’re indivisible. To stay United is our duty.

America

On July 4, Chris also posted other thoughts about America along with a photo of the Declaration of Independence.

“I personally believe it’s important to reflect upon the idea of America. Any institution made by humans is bound to be imperfect. But it is our responsibility to strive to improve, to form a ‘more perfect union’”.

Happy Fourth!! I really respect the author Jack Carr. His books are really cool. And he fought for his country. Today we Americans celebrate with parades, fireworks, laughs, love and family. I really like what Jack has to say below. I personally believe it’s important to reflect upon the idea of America. Any institution made by humans is bound to be imperfect. But it is our responsibility to strive to improve, to form a “more perfect union”. What can we do? How can we heal this growing divide? I feel like recognizing the fact that nobody is perfect is a start. It allows us to judge less, to realize despite our differences we have common ground And what is our common ground? In the words of Abraham Lincoln “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Sounds good to me! Quick edit: Yes, Jefferson wrote the words and later Lincoln spoke them. Interesting point to see how that idea evolved to mean so much more by then. What can it mean today? We continue to evolve. We strive to be more perfect. ????❤️???????? #Repost @jackcarrusa ・・・ “…we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” I highly encourage all Americans to read the Declaration of Independence today, and every Fourth of July, with their families, as a tribute to those who pledged their Lives, their Fortunes, and their sacred Honor so that we could inherit the freedoms we enjoy today. Take the opportunity that Independence Day affords to discuss, particularly with your children, the freedoms and opportunities we’ve been entrusted to uphold, and our responsibility as citizens to pass them on to future generations. We will be reading it tonight. Strength and Honor. #IndependenceDay #1776 #FourthOfJuly #DeclarationofIndependence #Revolution #Fight #History #Honor #DontTreadOnMe #JoinOrDie #GadsdenFlag #LibertyOrDeath #GiveMeLibertyOrGiveMeDeath #Patriots #America #USA #Freedom

Superstar Chris Pratt Credits God for His Success

by Lindsay Gray
written by Lindsay Gray

Chris Pratt Credits God for Success

Self-proclaimed “chubby guy from Parks and Rec” – Chris Pratt – has hit it big. With the releases of some big blockbusters – Lego Movie, Jurassic World (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom coming out soon!), and Guardians of the Galaxy – he has become an A-list celebrity.

But even though he had become famous Chris has not lost his humility. On April 21, 2017, as he was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, he attributed his success to God.

The emotional speech

“I’m a man of faith, and I believe that God works in mysterious ways.”

In his acceptance speech, Chris asserted – to his fans’ surprise – that he isn’t worthy of the Walk of Fame Star. Instead, he pointed his fans to God – the real star: “I’m a man of faith, and I believe that God works in mysterious ways.”

What are these mysterious ways? According to Chris, God gives gifts, which are often “in the form of people.” So he spent the rest of his speech thanking the people who have supported him along the way.

True to his reputation for being “the nice guy” in Hollywood, the tearful actor displayed unparalleled level-headedness in his remarks. According to Guardian’s franchise director James Gunn, Chris Pratt is the “biggest movie star in the world right now,” but you wouldn’t know it from his speech. Instead of tooting his own horn, he embodied gratefulness.

Nice guys finish first

39-year-old Pratt has been around the block once or twice in Hollywood. After growing up in Washington, he moved to Hollywood at the age of 20. Although he initially lived in an apartment just one block from the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it would take 17 years of hard work before he would earn a star.

After he moved to LA, Chris observed a dedicated man who polished the stars on the Walk of Fame every day. It wasn’t his job; it was his hobby. The stars were significant to him, and he wanted to be sure that tourists could enjoy them properly. This scene has stuck with him all these years.

Although 17 years have passed and he’s achieved unimaginable success, Chris still pays attention to people from all walks of life. Early in his career, he noticed that celebrities who treated others poorly eventually faded out, while those with true character sustained their careers. Now that the Hollywood world is his oyster, he continues to treat others with the utmost respect.

Not only that, but Chri is known as a family man. After having a son, he turned down big roles in order to be a consistent, reliable father. He is also not afraid to turn down roles that don’t jive with his vision for his career. He stands out as a man of integrity and values in a city that sorely lacks people like him.

Giving all the glory to God and His people

In a city without a spiritual compass, Chris Pratt points others to God. Rising above the temptations of fame and fortune, he gave thanks to God for putting the right people in his life to make his career possible.

God is using people in your life to fulfill a divine purpose – just like he has in Chris’s life. Take a second today to give thanks for God’s gifts – the people who have impacted your life.

Chris Pratt Responds to Elle Page’s Accusation Of His “Anti-LGBTQ” Church

by Lindsay Gray
written by Lindsay Gray

Chris Pratt is famously outspoken about his faith and like many Christians in the spotlight, he has had to endure criticism from both peers and press.

Recently Chris was a guest on Colbert and he and host Stephen Colbert – also a fellow believer – were chatting about the Daniel Fast Chris is doing with his church, Hillsong LA. It was a very safe, non-offensive discussion, centered around basically eating a vegan, paleo diet.

For some reason actress Ellen Page was triggered by this light-hearted discourse on legumes and sought to call Chris out on what was not being discussed but, in her opinion, should be: His church’s stance on LGBTQ issues.

Chris handled the situation with grace. Without offering apologies or taking Ellen’s bait to get into a heated debated over Twitter, Chris put this story up on his Instagram:
