Now is the time to bring country together, actor Kevin Sorbo says

Christian actor Kevin Sorbo is encouraging unity in the wake of this week’s presidential election.

“Once we have who we have, people have to go, ‘OK, what do we need to do now to try to bring the country together in some way?’ because that’s the more important thing out there, more than anything, no matter who’s president,” he told CBN News. “I don’t care what your political party is. You see the destruction that Washington, D.C., has done around this country and around the world as well. We need to find a path to truth. We need to walk the road less traveled with Jesus and make that road a superhighway, is what I say.”

As far as where he finds solace and comfort when he’s anxious or overwhelmed, Sorbo said that although he no longer is in the kind of shape he was in when he portrayed Hercules in the 1990s, he still blows off steam in the gym. “I use cardio as a way to get rid of stress,” he said.

It’s the spiritual side of his life, though, that provides Sorbo with the greatest comfort.

When he’s exercising, the 66-year-old entertainer said he often listens to a Bible-themed podcast or talks to God.

“I tell people all the time that feel uncomfortable praying, ‘Look, guys, it’s easy. It’s like we’re doing right now,’” Sorbo said. “When I lived in LA all the time, with LA traffic, I got tired of listening to music or listening to audiobooks, and I would just have a conversation with God.”

It was in those conversations that he would ask God to show him the way.

“It’s very easy to have a conversation like that with God,” Sorbo said. “I think people, they just get caught up in, ‘I’ve gotta say ‘thee’ and ‘thou,’ and I’m going, ‘No, you don’t have to say ‘thee’ and ‘thou.’ You just have to have an open mind and an honesty about what you’re talking about, because he’s listening.’”
