The Hills
By kirk noonan | August 20, 2008
Spencer Pratt, villan on MTV’s hit reality series The Hills, recently told US Magazine that “Jesus and I are making the connection.”
That’s a good thing. Real good.
I cannot vouch for Pratt’s sincerity or claim to faith. But if he is truly saying he has started on a faith journey with Jesus Christ I cannot help but admire him for doing so.
Assuming he is sincere though, he might need to have a talk with his agent or public relations team.
The reason?
Pratt’s on-screen way of living flies in the face of the faith he says he has embraced.
On the show Pratt has been portrayed as a hard-partying, womanizing, manipulative, selfish jerk who cares more for his own comfort than other people’s feelings — including those of his girlfriend, Heidi Montag — whom Pratt credits for leading him to his newfound faith.
“She got me to go [to church] — it was a big step,” he tells US. “The walls shook a little bit as I first cruised in…”
On The Hills Pratt and Montag live with each other though they are not married. They have also basked in their roles as the bitter rivals of Lauren Conrad, the star of the show. So much for Mark 12:30-31 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Though Pratt may only be playing a part [it is widely reported that some scenes from The Hills are staged] his shenanigans, outbursts and frequent maladjusted attitude make him look like an immoral, life-sized Bratz.
Note I wrote ‘…make him look.’ That doesn’t mean he is. How would I know how Pratt really acts, thinks or feels? I don’t know him except for headlines splashed across tabloids. At this point I’m just pointing out the flaws of a character on a fake reality TV show.
Point is, I can’t know Pratt’s heart. Either can you. Only God knows what is going on in his heart and mind.
For now, I am believing what the kid is telling a supermarket rag. He has connected with Jesus. That’s cool and good enough for me. Hopefully, it’s just one of his first steps in a life-long journey with a revolutionary Savior.
