QUESTION: We just saw the incredible audience reaction to ‘The Firing Squad' and the applause was pretty deafening. How do you feel?

Cuba Gooding, Jr: I think America needs to come back to God. These men faced execution but still had joy in Christ.

QUESTION: When did you find Christ?

Cuba Gooding, Jr.: I accepted Christ in 1985, but recommitted my life back to Him this year.
