Will Smith hasn’t been on Instagram long, but he’s already made major waves in those four months with 15 million followers.

Last week, he shared a throwback Thursday post from 2014 of him going skydiving with his sons.

Smith doesn’t always directly refer to God on his social media, but in the video, which is both footage of him skydiving and later talking about the experience, he says, “Skydiving is a really interesting confront with fear … So you get onto the airplane and you’re sitting there, you fly and you go up to 14,000 feet and the guy walks up [to the edge] and you’re looking down to death! Terror! They say on three … and you fall out of the airplane and in one second you realize that it’s the most blissful experience of your life.”

“You realize at the point of maximum danger, is the point of minimum fear,” Smith said. “God placed the best things in life on the other side of fear.”
