‘I Get My News From the Bible’: Actor Delivers Powerful Defense of Scripture, Shares Path to Christ By Billy Hallowell for Faith Wire
Actor Stelio Savante has spent decades in Hollywood, performing in secular and inspirational films and TV shows. But unlike many in the entertainment industry, he is a faithful Christian who looks to God to navigate every facet of his life, including his longstanding career.
Savante, star of the new film, “Pursuit of Freedom,” told CBN’s Faithwire he looks to Scripture to understand and comprehend the events and happenings unfolding in the world — complex circumstances he believes show humans to fully trust in the Bible.
The actor said he doesn’t take his cues from MSNBC, Fox News, or any other media outlet, and that he looks to the Bible to understand the things that deeply matter.

“I get my news from the Bible,” he said. “That’s just where I get my news from, because the Bible told us the earth was round when scientists told us it was flat. It is spiritual wisdom, and when you line up what’s happening in the world with what’s there biblically — the Bible already knows the story.”
Savante continued, “The Lord already knows the end.”
The actor also recounted his faith journey and finding Christ as a teenager in 1984. Born in South Africa, he was a product of divorce and a “broken home,” with negativity and violence plaguing the family.
Watch Savante’s incredible story:
“I was not a happy child,” he said, noting how circumstances eventually changed when he “heard the message of Christ.”
And as so often happens, restoration came not only to Savante but also to his family members, with his father, mother, sister, and grandmother later becoming Christians.
“It was just incredible,” he said.
