Storm Reid, the budding Christian actress who’s starring in the Disney film “A Wrinkle in Time,” is receiving support from one of the largest megachurches in the United States.
Reid, 14, visited Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, last week where she shared her journey in faith with the congregation led by Pastor Joel Osteen. Associate Pastor John Gray was on hand to moderate a Q&A with Reid and asked her how she’s able to maintain her faith while pursuing her dreams in Hollywood.
“My life is centered around God and faith. I wear a mustard seed every day,” Reid told Gray and the congregation at Lakewood Church. “I don’t know if I’ll be acting in five years and I don’t even know if I’ll be in L.A. in five years. But I know if I have faith in a mustard seed that God will move mountains, and I know the best is yet to come.”
With Reid standing by his side, the pastor urged people to support her and said he was praying they would do so by going to the theater to see “A Wrinkle in Time.”

A divinity School professor known for her scholarship on the prosperity gospel is explaining why the notion that “everything happens for a reason” and other Christian-sounding phrases prove futile.
In an interview with Brian Lamb on C-SPAN’s Q&A in February, Kate Bowler, a professor at Duke Divinity School in Durham, North Carolina, discussed her new memoir Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I Loved, said the book’s title came from “boomerang theology” that people tossed around in an attempt to comfort her when she was diagnosed with cancer.
Two years ago, at age 35, Bowler was diagnosed with stage-4 colon cancer, an “incurable” kind which eventually spread to her liver. She wrote the book as a sort of “theological excavation project,” she said, wherein she explored the possibility that perhaps the often tossed around phrase that “everything happens for a reason” and other Christian-sounding clichés were lies she believed all along.
Bowler is also the author of the 2013 book, Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel.
During the hourlong interview, Lamb asked Bowler about the words and practices of infamous prosperity preachers like Mike Murdock and Benny Hinn, as well as other popular ministers like T.D. Jakes and Rick Warren. Footage was also shown of Hinn praying for a woman who was suffering with cancer. He prayed in such a way that led viewers to think she was totally healed afterward.
