Donnie Wahlberg Finds Faith, Feels Less Empty
28 Apr
Summary
- Wahlberg recommitted to Christianity after feeling empty.
- He now seeks to use his platform to glorify God.
- His wife, Jenny McCarthy, also recently shared her renewed faith.
Donnie Wahlberg has undergone a significant personal transformation, fully embracing Christianity after a period of feeling spiritually unfulfilled. He described this journey as an "on-and-off" path that culminated in a deeper commitment over the past year.
Wahlberg revealed on "The George Janko Show" that his desire to be a "peacemaker" and "fix everything" left him feeling a void, stating, "I was empty." He acknowledged his reliance on faith, saying, "I can't do it anymore without Him."
He emphasized that this spiritual shift does not alter his core identity but rather enhances it, making him a "better me." Wahlberg plans to leverage his public platform to "let my light shine" and "glorify Him."
His wife, Jenny McCarthy, has also spoken about her spiritual renewal, having "completely surrendered" to God. McCarthy, raised Catholic, shared on the "Culture Apothecary" podcast that she feels a strong connection to her faith and embraces "conservative values."
The couple met in 2013 and married in Illinois in August 2014. They have made a tradition of renewing their vows annually, a practice Wahlberg has explained as a way to keep their marriage "new."
