Candace Cameron Bure Talks Hollywood’s Growing Interest in Jesus: ‘It’s Pretty Incredible’
Actress and outspoken Christian Candace Cameron Bure addressed the continued interest in Jesus amongst people in Hollywood.
“It’s pretty incredible from the people that I’ve walked hand-in-hand with and encouraged along the way,” Bure told CBN News in a recent interview. “And just to have a small part of knowing that I planted a seed, or maybe spoke a word that encouraged them along to become a believer — or strengthen their faith in Christ.”
One of those people whom Bure has encouraged is “Wonder Years” star Danica McKellar, who came to saving faith after Bure personally shared the Word of God with her.
“I just want people to feel that they’re not alone, that there’s love for you at any time, and it’s such a gift,” McKellar said of her faith journey during an interview with CBN News last year.
For Bure, she is thankful that God has allowed her to be a voice to bring others to Him, Faithwire reports.
“It humbles me that God would use me,” the “Fuller House” star said. “I give Him such great thanks for allowing me to use my voice and not be fearful of it — to not sit scared to tell my friends about Jesus.”
She also noted she is “humbled” and encouraged by people who message her on social media thanking her for being outspoken about her faith.
During the interview with CBN News, Bure shared how she previously stayed away from Christian films due to their bad reputation of having poor quality. However, she says that such films have become more artistic and powerful nowadays.
“Within the last, I would say, five years, the quality is incredible,” she said. “It’s like people of faith are coming out of the woodwork.”
For instance, Bure starred in and executive produced the faith-based film “Unsung Hero,” which was released in theaters last week.
