President Ronald Reagan made an indelible impact on America — and his family. His son, Michael Reagan, recently told CBN News about his father's faith and legacy. Reagan said the thing people most get wrong about his father centers on assumptions about how he portrayed himself. "He is exactly who you think he is," he said, calling him "humble." "My father was the same with you as he was with me. The sense of humor — all of it."

He also said it was "great" seeing the new feature film "Reagan" capture his dad's true person, with stories about his father coming "alive" throughout the movie. Michael Reagan said his own children were able to watch the film and see their grandfather be encapsulated in a powerful way.  

Regan also spoke about his father's Christian faith, calling him "very religious," and deeply concerned for others. Michael said prayer was something on which his dad greatly relied. "He was always in prayer for our family," Michael Reagan said. He also recalled a conversation with Reagan about the 1981 incident during which the former president and members of his team were shot. Reagan, who was injured during the incident, had reportedly stopped attending church afterward to keep people safe.

"He says ... 'March 30th, 1981. I remember looking out the window of my limousine and seeing people laying in their blood with bullets that were meant for me,'" Reagan recalled. "And he said, 'I haven't gone to church at all on a regular basis because [of] my fear of putting people in harm's way because people are after me. So ... I'm looking to no longer becoming president so I can visit my Lord and Savior every Sunday from now on after I got out of office.'" Reagan said his father, after getting out of office, "never missed church until Alzheimer's really kicked in." Even after that, a preacher would go to his home to speak with him.
