Popular YouTuber and controversial British comedian and actor, Russel Brand, 48, recently posted a short video on X explaining why he is now wearing a Christian cross.
Brand explained in his video, “Christianity and in particular, the figure of Christ are it seems to me inevitably becoming more important as I become more familiar with suffering, purpose, self and not self.”
He also added that he now reads the Bible more and is also reading a popular Christian book, The Purpose Driven Life, written by Rick Warren.
At the end of his video, Russell invited people to respond to what he had to say. Many responded by encouraging him in his spiritual journey.
According to CBN, Brand’s post also prompted a response from mega Church pastor, Greg Laurie, who posted:
Brand, who was once married to American Pop Singer Katy Perry, has over 6.4 million followers on his YouTube Channel, where he often discusses political and cultural issues. His videos have been viewed over a billion times.
He has recently faced legal challenges from women alleging past sexual assault and has been interviewed by British police.
