"I've noticed that whenever I feel like God is not near, its me that drifted, it's me that hasn't been really submitting and praying and letting him take over what I can't control, and a lot of acting is that"
Hello and welcome to Faith and Famous the Podcast! Join your host Alan Shires as he interviews Lara Silva, a public speaker, a TV and film actor with credits from Queen of the South, Blue Ridge and The Chosen.
Lara's journey into acting started in a miraculous way, she was having to take work where she could in restaurants etc... to make ends meet and was not happy, she felt unfulfilled and like she didn't know what her purpose was. But one day her best friend observed how unhappy she was and asked her "Lara, when was the last time you felt truly happy?" And when thinking back, she remembered the last time she felt truly happy was when she was in elementary school putting on shows and performing. This moment was a pinacle moment for her because from here, she looked into trying an acting class and realised that her passion and fire in her heart was rebirthed when attending and that's where her career in acting began!
She shares with us her journey from there and how praying and submitting to God has opened doors, brought people into her life which in turn has revealed paths and amazing opportunities to her that has led her to be caste in the likes of the Chosen, and to now be a public speaker encouraging young actors, emphasising how pursuing a career in the entertainment industry does not mean having to let go of your morals and faith!
