Bear Grylls, the star of the hugely popular Discovery Channel show ‘Man vs. Wild,’ recently shared his testimony with the Christian magazine ‘Relevant.’
Grylls is a devoted Christian who credits his faith as bringing him much strength and encouragement in the context of a demanding show. Grylls told the magazine how much he feels “held” when he is filming in the wild, and how God lends him strength to take the risks he does.
Grylls has done stunts such as paragliding over the Antarctica, hiking through dangerous jungles and even eating yak eyeballs.
Grylls shares that:
“It’s about being strengthened. It’s about having a backbone run through you from the Person who made you. It’s about being able to climb the biggest mountains in the world with the Person who made them.”
Grylls went onto to affirm that he has always felt that God was like a friend, and also points to his wife and three sons as being a integral part of his faith journey.
