BOSTON BLUE star and singer Donnie Wahlberg’s greatest pride is his commitment to God.
At a recent Forrest Frank concert, the son of retired MMA fighter Christian Reynoso asked Wahlberg what his biggest accomplishment in life is. Reynoso recorded the exchange.
“So of all the things I did in my life, just in the last year, I gave my life to Christ and that’s the most important thing of all the things I did,” Wahlberg said. “So I’m a dad, and that’s important, and I raised my sons, and they’re good men, and I’m proud of a lot of things I did, but it doesn’t matter as much as giving my life to Jesus, like you did, right?”
“Yeah!” Reynoso’s son said
“So cool!” said Wahlberg. “I’m so inspired by you.”
“Thank you,” said the boy.
“You too. And you brother too,” Wahlberg said. “Let’s go! Let’s go!”
“Let’s go, dad!” Wahlberg said to Reynoso.
“My son asked @donniewahlberg what his greatest accomplishment was,” said Reynoso in the caption of his video. “What happened next was beautiful. JESUS IS ALIVE.”

On June 6, Reynoso shared that he and his family got to meet Wahlberg at the concert, Church Leaders reported.
“We came to praise Jesus and see @hiforrest,” Reynoso said. “We ended up meeting @donniewahlberg and praising with him all night long.”
“What a night and what an experience to share with my sweet family,” said Reynoso. “Forrest was amazing and seeing 13,000 people raising Jesus’s holy name together was so beautiful. God’s love and mercy truly has no bounds.”
He thanked Wahlberg for his kindness and wished God’s blessings on him and his family.
Wahlberg previously shared how his faith has transformed him as a person.
“It doesn’t make me not me. It makes me a better me,” he said, adding that he wants to use his platform to let his “light shine… to glorify Him.”
In an interview with George Janko, Wahlberg said his faith is not religious.
He said, “It’s a joyous sacrifice. It’s not a rule, like, ‘you will never listen to this again.’ It just kind of happens. Because I want to build the relationship.”
On May 31, Wahlberg shared a video of himself happily walking on stage with his band, New Kids on The Block, along with Brandon Lake’s track, “That’s How I Praise.”
“Happy Sunday! So thankful for another day to keep walking that walk. One step at a time. Look forward to seeing so many of you – so very soon. 🙏🏼❤️🙌🏼🥹✝️👑 Psalms 119:105 #sunday #love #faith God is so good! 🙌🏼” he wrote.
Wahlberg’s latest exchange shows that he’s kept his commitment to Christ, being a voice for Him wherever he goes.
