Actress Patricia Heaton says she's praying for Kanye West because people want to see him fail at Christianity.
"I was just listening to the Kanye interview with Big Boy this morning as I was getting dressed. I never thought I'd be downloading any Kanye West music, but here we are,” the “Everybody Loves Raymond” actress told The Christian Post on Tuesday.
West released his ninth studio album last week, titled Jesus Is King, and its loaded with scripture and gospel content. The emcee and fashion mogul started hosting Sunday Service events at the top of the year that feature gospel music and, more recently, sermons. A few months ago, West announced that he was a born again Christian and found healing after he was diagnosed as having bipolar disorder.
Heaton, a devout Catholic who frequently speaks out about social issues and her faith, said she’s “definitely praying for” West.
“It's very hard. I think when someone of his stature in the industry and someone who has his amount of fame makes that kind of proclamation, people then really watch and scrutinize everything he does to catch him falling down,” she said.
“I hope that he is able to handle that, because that's what's going to happen,” Heaton predicted.
"People want to see him fail at Christianity,” she said.
Heaton has continued her commitment to humanitarian work alongside the Christian nonprofit organization World Vision and is not afraid to boldly talk about Jesus and eternity.
"I think that if you have the Christian perspective that this time we have on Earth is actually very small compared to eternity, and that our lives are so filled with nonessential information — especially with the advent of social media — there has to be someone talking about eternal things and talking about our souls, and people actually are hungry for that, even if they aren't aware of it.
"People are crying out for meaning in their life and for something that lasts, something that's not temporary,” she stressed.
Heaton’s advice for West comes from her own experience of being ridiculed for her faith, but the Ohio native said she doesn’t care because people are longing to hear about eternity.
“We're created for eternity. We're not created for temporary life. So I feel that even if I get pushback on it, or people think I'm weird or strange, that there's somebody out there that wants to hear this, that's craving that message,” Heaton declared.
The Emmy Award-winner kicked off her new comedy series "Carol's Second Act" in September.
The sitcom is about “a woman who embarks on a unique second act after raising her children, getting divorced, and retiring from teaching: pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor. At age 50, Carol is a medical intern and must sink or swim with peers who are half her age. It's her enthusiasm, perspective, and yes, even her age that may be exactly what will make her second act a great success,” the show’s synopsis says.
The 61-year-old actress received her big break at 38, and said she wants the new series to inspire older generations to keep pursuing their dreams.
"As long as you're breathing there's a purpose for you on this Earth. What I love about ‘Carol's Second Act’ is that it’s talking about people who are older in our society who have often been dismissed. But I think wisdom and experience in life is needed in this day and age. That you have older people who have this perspective of what lasts and what's important. And I think it's important for young people to have that in their society,” Heaton said.
"I also think it's just important for us older people to feel that there's still a purpose for us because everybody needs a purpose, everybody needs something to strive for. I think we're doing much better now in seeing the value of people's wisdom and experience. I just hope that this show, in a funny way, confirms that.”
I’m sure he’s already lost a lot of friends.
They weren’t “friends” to begin with and he’ll make many new and much better, real friends.
Being worth a quarter of a billion dollars, maybe it’s good if some of those “friends” disappear.
Probably some moochers.
I would be :)
If they’ve severed ties were they really friends to begin with?
I’m shocked that Patricia Heaton even got a new show.
God Bless them both.
It is quite strange. She has given interviews over the years saying how dangerous it is in hollywood to come out as a conservative. More power to her.
HOORAY Patricia! HOORAY Kanye!
Now, THAT’S a good-looking 61-year old ...
Probably on the verge of losing a very lost wife and in-laws.
Most gospel content is in the public domain. So, rights fees are not an issue. Kanye is no idiot.
Patricia Heaton is bankable dollars. If she makes them money—they will “like” her. As soon as she stops making money...they will toss her aside.
Kanye’s “conversion” has been on my mind the last 24 hours.
I’m glad for him that he’s possible actually thinking in the right direction but I don’t believe he is in a place (yet) to be a disciple.
I can’t help but speculate if living in the disgusting sleeze of the Karadshians, living his opulent and degnerate rapper lifestyle, knowing his mother in law STRONGLY encouraged her daughters to become prostitutes, and his father in law felt so left out his mental health failed and he started living as a public crossdresser, and even having his 6 year old daughter paraded around looking like a hooker in makeup and slutty clothes -
Did his mind snap?
Has he been baptized? Has he repented and given up the filthy lucre he earned from degrading and licentious performing?
I don’t say this to judge him I say to say to everyone else Hey Slow Down! We don’t know where this guy is yet.
I don’t believe you can live the life he has and have the giant ego he has and then suddenly he proclaims he’s an evangelist and going to be the President and I am expecting him to proclaim to be Jesus at some point.
But God bless him and help him.
This article was especially telling. How many disciples claimed they were the greatest anything? How many claimed they were going to be rulers?
How many boasted of having a 3 billion dollar business? How many put themselves first and talked of Jesus like he was their butler?
Beware of false prophets and know them by their fruit. Will he tell Bruce to take off the dress and stop being an abomination?
I pray many are not led far astray, I pray for discernment. I pray for Kanye that God either truly convert him or take him down.
Kanye says:
“There will be a time when I will be president of the US, and I will remember ... any founder that didn’t have the capacity to understand culturally what we were doing,” he said.
“The two-hour interview, which was released Thursday night, saw the unpredictable rapper chat with Lowe at his Wyoming compound.
“I am unquestionably, undoubtedly, the greatest human artist of all time. It’s not even a question at this point. It’s just a fact,” West told Lowe.
“When asked about his controversial relationship with the current US President Donald Trump, West said: “For the greatest artist in human existence to put a red hat on was God’s practical joke to all liberals. Like, ‘No! Not Kanye!’”
“But the rapper said Christianity saved him and it’s now his “job to spread the gospel, to let people know what Jesus has done for me.”
Well he certainly needs to learn about humility
“If she makes them money they will ‘like’ her. As soon as she stops making money...they will toss her aside.”

You just described exactly how Hollywood conducts business.
I think a lot more of her for telling it like it is.
God Bless Patricia Heaton we need more God from celebs.
She walked out of an awards show.
“Patricia Heaton stormed out of the American Music Awards program last Monday because of the “onslaught of lewd and off-colour remarks” by the awards program hosts, the Osbourne family. Heaton refused to go on stage for her segment of the televised show.” From 1-22-2003
Class act.
She and Kayne were recently baptized.

Thanks for that. Not sure what anyone else would think of this baptism outfit but I’m giving 2 thumbs down. Either she and he are absolutely insane or they’re setting the stage to start a church.
