Hollywood Revival? Candace Cameron Bure on Jesus Invading Hollywood

from Newsmakers · host CBN News

Actress Candace Cameron Bure continues to bring hope, faith, and love to Hollywood. From her roots in "Full House" to her creativity in executive producing projects like the Unsung Hero movie — a film about the real-life journey of For King and Country (Joel Smallbone and Luke Smallbone) and Rebecca St. James — Bure is on a mission to tell important stories while entertaining the masses. In a recent interview with CBN News, she shared her passion for positive, uplifting entertainment, and explained what it's been like to watch more and more people in Hollywood embrace — or at least show interest — in Jesus. "Wonder Years" star Danica McKellar is just one of the actors who came to faith after Bure personally shared Scripture with her. "It's pretty incredible from the people that I've walked hand-in-hand with and encouraged along the way," Bure said. "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." In the end, she said this is deeply inspiring and one of the most profound of purposes. "It humbles me that God would use me," Bure said, expressing gratitude that God allows her to use her voice to help bring others to faith. "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." The "Fuller House" star said she often receives messages through social media that thank her for speaking out, noting she is "humbled" and encouraged to persist in speaking out about biblical truth.  Bure also discussed why, for much of her career, she stayed away from Christian films, explaining they had a bad reputation due to weak quality. But, in recent years, she said she's been blown away by how artistic and powerful these movies have become. "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." Hear her discuss Christian movies and TV shows and why she's deeply proud of the powerful, family-forward story she's telling in "Unsung Hero."
