Candace Cameron Bure reveals the family crisis that led to her faith in Christ. The actress, author and podcast host mentioned how a tumultuous and uncertain time in her family resulted in her accepting Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear how a family crisis led her to find Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately, we will all experience hardships and trials. As most people know, they have a way of finding us at one time or another. That’s a simple and unavoidable fact of life. No one’s life is perfect, regardless of fame, status and net worth. People aren’t perfect, far from it, and so, because of that, our relationships will not be either.
Sadly, this often means that even marriages can go through rough spots, where even divorce looks like a real possibility. In a clip posted on YouTube, Candace shares how a tough period in her parents’ marriage ended with her finding and turning her life over to Jesus Christ.
“My parents were on the brink of divorce when I was 12,” she said. “A friend invited them to go to counseling at their church. My dad was not a believer. My mom was a believer, but my dad agreed to go to counseling and to start going to church.”
She mentions her parents truly wanted to fix their marriage but were unsure of how to go about doing that.
Later in the clip, Cameron says she made a life-changing decision several months after attending church.
“This started our journey going to church,” she said. “So, at 12, you know, probably after a couple of months of going, six months of going, I gave my life to Christ.”
What a powerful testimony and example of how Jesus Christ can make something beautiful from a seemingly broken and hopeless situation.
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
