Gavin Casalegno, widely recognized for his role as Jeremiah Fisher on Amazon Prime's hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty, has been using his social media platforms to discuss his Christian faith. Casalegno, 25, posted several videos on TikTok as he informed millions of followers about faith, according to Relevant Magazine.
In one video, he urges his millions of followers not to be "lukewarm Christians," emphasizing, "God wants all of you, not just the Sunday version."
Casalegno also shared a video of his perspective on finding strength in the Lord in one's weakness.
"You're at your strongest when you realize your strength doesn't come from you," he said.
@team_gavincasalegno @GavinCasalegno just shared his inspiring testimony about the power of praying like your prayers are being heard. Gavin, a friend of God you definitely are 🙏🏻 #teamgavincasalegno #teamjeremiah #gavincasalegno #teamjellyfisher #teamjelly #teamjellyfish #tsitp #thesummeriturnedpretty #goldenretriever #jeremiah #jeremiahfisher #jeremiahfisheredit #primevideo #jerebear #jeremiahandbelly #jere #gavin #gavincasalegnofandom #gavincasalegnoedits #explorepage #gavincasalegnofanpage #fyp #church #religion #maybenotgavin ♬ original sound - team_gavincasalegno
The young actor also shared his testimony in a video titled "A Personal Encounter with God's Love," in 2024 as he stressed the importance of repentance in his life.
"I had to repent. I had to admit I couldn't do it on my own," he said. "That's when I felt God's love the clearest."
@team_gavincasalegno @GavinCasalegno shared a new message about being a lukewarm Christian, and in the comments he shared a very memorable quote, “You are at your strongest when you come to your weakest!” 🤯 We just spoke about this topic at my church this past weekend, so it’s so wild to hear Gavin sharing the exact same message. But it’s so relatable because I’ve been cold and lukewarm at times, but never hot. #teamgavincasalegno #teamjeremiah #gavincasalegno #teamjellyfisher #teamjelly #teamjellyfish #tsitp #thesummeriturnedpretty #goldenretriever #jeremiah #jeremiahfisher #jeremiahfisheredit #primevideo #jerebear #jeremiahandbelly #jere #gavin #gavincasalegnofandom #gavincasalegnoedits #explorepage #gavincasalegnofanpage #fyp #fypシ ♬ original sound - team_gavincasalegno
In an interview with Shondaland, Casalegno shared how deleting his social media accounts has helped him be more present with his family, himself, and God, according to People.
"Deleting Instagram and all these apps to kind of check out, to be with my family and be with myself, to spend some time with the Lord — that's really where I thrive," he said.
Last November, Casalegno shared photos of his wedding to Cheyanne King, a registered nurse.
"FOREVER CAPTIVATED BY YOU, "he wrote on Instagram.
According to The Christian Post, Cheyanne often references her faith and has referred to her husband as "a man of God."
"What an honor it has been to endure this journey with the Lord and be the first in my family to graduate college!" she wrote. "I can't wait to do ministry and love on people in the medical field and bring the light of Jesus into dark places! Thank you, Jesus, for such an opportunity as this."
The couple also recently launched a faith-inspired clothing line known as Kai-Lo.
"What started as a passion project in pursuit of fashion aspirations—born from a desire to create something truly personal and authentic—has now evolved into KAI✰LO, a brand that represents who I am and what I believe in. Fashion has always been a way for me to not only express myself but to express my creativity, and with this collection, I wanted to do more than create clothes—I wanted to share personal revelations that have changed my outlook on life, that I pray inspire and even challenge others to see life from a revived perspective. Every piece reflects my journey and my belief in the power of fashion to tell a story, and I can't wait to see how others make it part of theirs," Casalegno wrote.
