Hollywood Actress Clings to Power of Prayer: 'God Is in Control'

Legendary voice actor Jodi Benson is a Christian with a deep passion for her faith that has helped shape her life. “It's really neat ... to see the tapestry that God has created and the puzzle pieces that have come together within my career,“ Benson told CBN News. “But, for me, it's a ministry. I really do feel that God places me exactly where He wants me. He opens the door exactly where He needs me, and it's never usually about the job.“ She continued, “It's usually about ... a 'God appointment,' a relationship with a cast member, or with a crew or creative team member. It's usually these behind-the-scenes moments that I get — that moment where I go, 'Oh, that's why I'm doing this project.'“ Benson is known for voicing Ariel in Disney’s “The Little Mermaid“ and Barbie in the “Toy Story“ franchise. Most recently, she reprised her role as Nia in season two of the animated hit series “The Wingfeather Saga.
