LeBeouf, 36, opened up this week during a lengthy interview with Bishop Robert Barron on his show "Word on Fire" about his stunning conversion to faith. The actor said God broke through to him while he stayed in a monastery for his lead role as a Franciscan friar in an upcoming biopic.

At some point, LeBeouf told Barron, his time at the monastery stopped being "prep for a movie" and turned into "something beyond all that."

"I know now my God was using my ego to draw me to Him," he said.

The actor's spiritual renaissance came at a time of significant darkness in his life.

While he acknowledged he never viewed himself "as an atheist," LeBeouf admitted he did define himself as an agnostic who "liked to argue." Ultimately, though, he turned to faith when his world was "on fire"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
