'Stranger Things' star reveals he got serious about faith, church attendance and stopped social media: 'rejuvenating'

“Stranger Things” star Caleb McLaughlin recently revealed he grew more serious about his faith over the summer, praying, stepping back from social media and returning regularly to church with his family.

“I've always felt the connection with God in my spirit from, I can't even remember the day it started,” the 24-year-old actor, who stars as Lucas Sinclair on the hit Netflix series, recently told Podcrushed.

“It’s just always been a part of me, but it's always a different level to me [now]. Because I feel like sometimes you live your life, and you kind of like, get into the world a little bit, and then you kind of stop praying sometimes, and you're like, ‘Alright, I'm praying before I go to sleep. All right, great.’ But then you have those moments like, wait, I need to pray and talk to God and ground [myself].”

“I did that a lot this summer, and I went to church a lot with my family, and I deleted Instagram and got off social media and just started grounding myself a little bit more and talking to God more, and it's been really replenishing.”
