shared footage<\/a> of the couple\u2019s baptisms as part of a birthday video looking back at the past year. Set to music by Elevation Worship, the video also featured moments from the couple\u2019s faith journey, such as their attendance at a CeCe Winans concert.<\/p>\nBut it was Wahlberg\u2019s message about what God has done in his life that stood out.<\/p>\n
\u201cLooking back over the past year of my life, the Lord has been renewing my mind, rebuilding my spirit, rearranging my priorities, recentering my focus, recharging my energy, reshaping my heart, refining my faith, restoring my joy and redeeming my life!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know where I would be without Jesus, but I know where I will be with Him! All the glory is His!\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple was baptized by Dudley Rutherford, lead pastor of Shepherd Church, a nondenominational congregation in Porter Ranch, California.<\/p>\n
For Wahlberg, the baptism follows months of increasingly public conversations about his Christian faith. The New Kids on the Block singer and longtime \u201cBlue Bloods\u201d star has regularly shared prayers and messages about God on social media.<\/p>\n
During an April appearance on \u201cThe George Janko Show,\u201d Wahlberg explained that despite having a successful career and loving family, something was still missing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a wonderful wife, wonderful kids. I have everything,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything to the outside, to everyone, looks perfect, and I was empty. I was empty without Him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wahlberg said he had spent years trying to rely on his own strength before realizing he needed to surrender control to God.<\/p>\n
\u201cI finally got to a point where I was like, I can\u2019t do it anymore without Him,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m missing something in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
McCarthy has described a similar spiritual shift. Raised Catholic, the actress and television personality said in a December interview that she had \u201ccompletely surrendered\u201d to Jesus after the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk left her deeply shaken.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was so broken. I prayed and prayed and prayed,\u201d McCarthy said.<\/p>\n
She also pointed to what she viewed as a wider spiritual response to the tragedy.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at the mass awakening,\u201d she said. \u201cLook at how many people came closer to God, even including myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wahlberg\u2019s renewed faith also follows a pattern within his family. His younger brother, actor Mark Wahlberg, has long spoken publicly about his Catholic faith and daily prayer, while their brother Jim Wahlberg has shared his testimony of finding redemption through Christ after years of addiction, crime and incarceration.<\/p>\n
For Donnie Wahlberg, however, his latest message was focused less on where he came from and more on what he believes God is doing now. After decades in the public eye, he says his priorities are being reordered around something bigger than fame, career or success.<\/p>\n
