Actor Stephen Baldwin: ‘My Life Is God’s Life in Me’ from Christian News Journal
Christian actor Stephen Baldwin shared how his relationship with Christ gave him true satisfaction.
“My life before Christ was focused on making money,” the 54-year-old actor said in his “I Am Second video. “My life before Christ was a totally day-in and day-out existence that was–unbeknownst to me at the time–an existence of self-absorbance.
“[I was] just doing what you normally do when you’re trying to maintain a career in the movie business,” Baldwin added.

The star recalls that his outlook on his career in Hollywood and movies changed when he put his faith in God.
“Loving Jesus is what’s most important to me. I know that sounds hokey, but it’s the truth. My life is God’s life in me, for Him to do with what He wants,” Baldwin said. He went from appearing in movies like THE USUAL SUSPECTS to the Movieguide® Award-winning movie THE LEAST OF THESE: THE GRAHAM STAINES STORY.
Baldwin described the miracle of how God used a cleaning woman to reach him with the Truth several years ago.
“My wife and I were living in Tucson, Arizona, about 16 years ago, almost. And through the family, we hire this cleaning woman,” Baldwin recalled. “She’s working with us for about two weeks, and my wife kind of notices her singing that she does every day in her work. Eventually, after a few more days of this went on, [my wife, Kennya] went to Augusta and said, ‘You know I noticed your singing and I was just curious why is every song about Jesus?’ Perhaps there’s another tune in your repertoire, so to speak.”
Baldwin continued: “And Augusta had a very interesting reaction to the question. She literally burst out laughing in my wife’s face. And Augusta said, again, ‘understand that the reason that I’m laughing is you think the only reason that I’m here is to clean your house.’”
