It was a personal relationship with God, with Jesus Christ in particular.

And that is the thing that started to really nurture inside me that relationship and has grown and you know

spirted, growth spurs and stumbles and falls of it, you know, it's always there and it's that is my rock.

That's actor Dennis Quaid starring in the new movie, Reagan, talking about how God began to speak to him through his

scriptures years ago when Dennis wasn't drug rehabilitation. Today on Focus on

the Family with Jim daily you'll hear a conversation that Dennis had with

Jim and I think you're going to find it really enjoyable and interesting.

Welcome to the show I'm John Fuller.

John it was fun talking to Dennis Quaid this week about the Reagan movie coming out this Friday and it should be in a theater near everyone

They're going to release on thousands of screens

We also discussed his personal faith in Christ and what he's observing in Hollywood regarding spiritual things.

And you know, it's really interesting to talk to these folks who have, you know, kind of gotten to the top of their game, in his case acting,

and he's been in some great films over the years he's doing a lot

more Christian films now and I think that's an outcome of his Christian faith

it's more serious today than perhaps in years past but I enjoy talking to people that are in that space and trying to do the

Lord's work in the arts and I was able to screen the Reagan film and I enjoyed it

and I'm looking forward to seeing it again with the family.

I think it highlighted a lot of the good things that Reagan stood for.

Not so much politically, but integrity and honesty in so many ways.

And the people around them, they do a good job developing the support

cast that was in the White House at the time but more importantly is is really the

spiritual element of what was going on yeah and Dennis has been in so many movies, Jim.
