Candace Cameron Bure is opening up about her faith in a new interview with Us Weekly, saying her mission is to share the story of Jesus with the world – and she isn’t concerned about any pushback.
The Great American Family actress and filmmaker offered candid remarks to the entertainment publication as she promotes a new book, a 30-day devotional titled Rise and Renew, and a new movie, Another Sweet Christmas, which premieres on Great American Family Dec. 20.
Faith and family, she said, are at the core of Great American Family’s projects.
“I feel like these movies have resonated so much. The channel has really leaned into that market and the people who are yearning for the name Jesus to be in Christmas movies – and I think that Great American will continue to lean even further into those types of stories.”
Bure rose to fame on the TV series Full House and later became a staple of Hallmark Channel programming before moving to Great American Family, where she serves as the network’s chief content officer.
“Sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ truly is the most important thing in my life, and I get to share this in creative ways as a woman of faith in the entertainment industry,” she told Us Weekly, explaining why making movies focused on faith is so important.
Asked by the publication whether she has ever questioned if it was worth being so open about her religious beliefs, Bure pointed to Scripture.
“The Bible says to go out into the world and share the good news with others, to share the gospel,” Bure said. “To deny that in any part of my life would be denying the very thing that I’m so appreciative of, which is Jesus. I cannot separate those two things, and so I walk boldly in that. Throughout that process, sometimes you take hits and people don’t like you for it, but this is my life. I get to make my choices.”
Meanwhile, Bure said she has made peace with criticism that may come her way.
