Anna Faris has found herself having conversations with her teenage son that are far removed from the world she grew up in, and instead of avoiding the differences, she is choosing to talk them through.
During an August 20 appearance on Chelsea Handler's Dear Chelsea podcast, Faris opened up about 14-year-old Jack, her son with ex-husband Chris Pratt. Faris said she did not grow up religious, while Jack has become deeply interested in Christianity and has even asked his mother to accept Jesus Christ as her savior.
The discussion eventually moved beyond faith and into politics, with Faris describing conversations about issues such as abortion and conservative viewpoints. She said she does not simply tell Jack that he is wrong; instead, she asks questions designed to make him think about why he believes what he believes.
What makes the story stand out is that Faris is not describing a rebellious teenager or a family falling apart, she is describing a mother and son learning how to disagree without shutting each other out.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Faris revealed that Jack has actually tried to persuade her to become Christian.
