Jennifer Garner inspired to return to church with kids by 'Miracles From Heaven' movie

Jennifer Garner has started going to church regularly again with her kids after playing a role in her latest movie "Miracles from Heaven."

In an interview with "Good Morning Texas" on Feb. 22, Jennifer Garner promoted her new movie "Miracles from Heaven" and revealed how the film inspired her to bring her kids to church again every Sunday. The actress recalled how she grew up attending church regularly but stopped when she moved to Los Angeles, according to Breitbart.

When asked by host Jane McGarry why she agreed doing "Miracles from Heaven," Jennifer Garner said she talked to her children about the role in the film and it made her realize that the kids wanted to attend church every Sunday, People reports.

"There was something about doing this film and talking to my kids about it and realizing that they were looking for the structure of church every Sunday," said Garner. "So it was a great gift of this film that it took us back to finding our local Methodist church and going every Sunday."

Garner said the movie helped lead them back to their local Methodist church, which they now visit every Sunday. She also praised "Miracles from Heaven" for its message of hope and inspiration and for conveying the message that every single thing in life is considered a miracle; a job or even an avocado. She also shared how her faith helped her overcome the problems she has encountered in life.

In addition, Garner talked about a service she attended one weekend at The Potter's House Church where Bishop T.D. Jakes, who is also a producer of the movie, preached. The Hollywood actress expressed how jealous she was of Dallas residents who could easily go to the church every week to hear Jakes preach.

"Miracles from Heaven" is a movie that tells the true story of Texas mother Christy Beam and how her daughter Annabel was miraculously healed from a severe digestive illness after surviving a 30-foot fall from a tree. Jennifer Garner plays the role of the girl's mother in the film.
