It has been a rough season — COVID, political fights, racial protests, increased violent crime — and no one is immune.
Not even a superstar celebrity like Denzel Washington.
So, what has he been during these trying times? Praying.
Now he's sharing what he has been praying about, what God is revealing to him, and what he believes others should be doing if they want to find true success and peace.
What did Denzel say? At "The Better Man Event," a Christian convention for men, in Orlando, Florida, last weekend, Washington spoke to tens of thousands of attendees.
In a conversation at the event with Pastor A.R. Bernard from Brooklyn's Christian Cultural Center, the Christian Post reported, Washington said that he has dedicated himself to spend the rest of his life helping others — and all because God has made it clear to him that it's time to feed God's "sheep."
Whenever he prays, the Lord has been making it clear what He expects from the actor.
"In every prayer, all I hear is: 'Feed my sheep.' That's what God wants me to do," he said, the Post reported. He added that in order to understand what that means, he has sought counsel with Christian leaders.
Through those discussions, he has learned that because there are "all kinds of sheep" and "the world has changed," men need to understand their role and use the gifts God gave them.
"What is our role as a man?" Washington asked, and then added, the Post said, "Strength, leadership, power, authority, guidance, patience are God's gift to us as men. We have to cherish that, not abuse it,"

Good man. God bless him.
What an angel
Then make movies that feed the soul Denzel. People are starving for things that lift them up instead of the depraved sex and empty lives
Have you seen any of his movies? Not exactly sex thrillers.

Denzel has been in many excellent movies. Just watched him with Gene Hackman in 1995’s “Crimson Tide”; an excellent drama.
Glad to hear this. Bless you.
last night I watched “Inside Man” again. Good the first time and good last night.
Hard to go wrong with a Denzel movie.
Love this!
Well he must pray daily for his Sins of making Training Day. He was one evil SOB in that one. Never so happy to see the Rooskies take him out.
Seen ‘Training Day’ or ‘The Equalizer 2’?
Complete, gratuitous violence and mayhem.
Oh yeah, but at least him and his wife donated the maximum amount to Stacey Abrams in the Georgia governor’s race.
Without seeing or listening to the speech I’d be willing to bet money that he didn’t mention Jesus Christ once. Just the typical Hollywood fraud who’s using the generic god to pad his pocketbook. Matthew McConaughey’s another one doing the same thing right now. Reading the posts here it seems to be working.
Looks like I would have won my bet. At an event about Christianity Denzel doesn’t mention Jesus Christ once.
[Sean Connery:] Only a penitent man shall pass!
What do these people want??? "Denzel...as Ghandi????"
"Deja Vu..."
2Guns....fun, with action.
Gee, lighten up Francis.
Any film with Gene Hackman is a must see. Amazing actor. A real classic.
Book of Eli simply brilliant and inspiring. I can watch it every time it’s on.
““Crimson Tide””
One of his best....
