Mark Wahlberg: ‘I’m Nothing Other Than a Humble Servant to God’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Actor Mark Wahlberg uses the Hallow prayer app to deepen his relationship with God.
In a new interview with Fox News, Wahlberg said, “I would say that I’m nothing other than a humble servant to God. I was put in this position for a specific reason.”
Hallow is a Catholic prayer and meditation app that enables users to “find peace, transform your prayer life, and build a habit.”
Wahlberg is among several other celebrities who use the app. Others include Jonathan Roumie, Chris Pratt, Jim Caviezel, Kevin James, and more.
“It’s a reminder that I need to do more, and I need to be better,” Wahlberg said. “There’s things that are in my life that are distracting and take me away from my focus on building my relationship and getting closer to God. Of course, living that purpose-filled life that He chose for me.
“I had a very very troubled childhood. Until now, just you know, being impatient with people, being short with people, not being as understanding, as thoughtful,” Wahlberg continued. “You get caught up in all these things every day in your life. There’s only one person who was perfect that walked this Earth, and that was Jesus. And everybody else should be a little more mindful.”
In 2024, Hallow became the number 1 app during Lent. Wahlberg is hopeful that it will be repeated in 2025.

“Encouraging young people to help them avoid making the same mistakes that I made and that other people make… With God in your life every day, it allows you to be in the position where you can make the right choices,” the actor said.
“I’ve made, I don’t know 50, 60 movies. People always come up to me and say something. But most of the time now … people usually talk about Hallow, and how much it’s changed their lives,” he continued. “Either reconnecting them after them being lapsed or, you know, finding a path to meeting and being introduced to God and faith for the first time in their lives.”
