"I've been brought up by my family to know Christ but I haven't taken it upon myself to really just take a couple days and read my Bible. We all quote scripture and tell each other what God likes and doesn't like but how much time do we spend as followers of Jesus to really just read and KNOW his Word," Chance wrote.
Chance stated his newborn nephew prompted the decision, writing, "He's the first boy of the next line and he needs his uncle to be educated."
While on the sabbatical, he posted a photo of with the caption: "Anybody wanna read thru Galatians with me? It's really short." Over 7,000 people commented with many agreeing to read Galatians.
Chance is one of many mainstream celebrities who've been opening about their faith. In 2018, stars like Chris Pratt and Avril Lavigne made headlines for sharing about their faith in Christ.
