Musician and actor Mark Wahlburg had a checkered youth. He often was profane and pugnacious. He spent some time in jail for assault. At some point, Wahlburg recommitted to church attendance and living out his faith. One thing he values most is being a father. He said, “I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.”
