In the secular world of Hollywood, it’s rare to find an actor who is brave enough to speak out about their Christian faith. That’s why it came as a welcome surprise when “Fuller House” actress Candace Cameron Bure just spoke out about her strong faith in God.

“My faith is really the foundation of who I am,” Bure, 44, told Fox News. “It’s so important to me, and it’s always a part of me, whether it’s at home and privately, or when I’m reading the Bible in Bible study. But also at work, and the choices I make within work, and the companies I choose to work with and the projects that I choose to take on.”

“The Bible to me is truth,” she added. “I can always go back to the word of God and find the hope, the encouragement, the positivity, the trust that I know I have in Jesus. And so it never fails, even when life doesn’t go the way I want it to or had planned it to. I know that God’s in control of everything.

“I live by faith in everything, in everything that I do, and every aspect of my life,” Bure explained. “So it’s not just something that I rely on or is a crutch. I mean, it is genuinely who I am. How it helps me? It’s hard to say because it’s just a part of my being.”

Bure went on to say that she has turned down many acting jobs because they do not align with her beliefs.

“I’ve had a lot of those, passing on projects, saying no to projects because they didn’t feel right for me,” she said. “And a lot of those were because of the boundaries that I’ve created for myself within the choices I knew I was going to make. And some of them were really easy to pass on.”

Though some of these projects were tempting, Bure’s faith always came before her career in her eyes.

“Some of them, it hurt, definitely,” said Bure. “There’s some that I’ve wanted, and you’re like, ‘Ugh, it’s not so bad.’ But in my heart, I’m like, ‘But it’s not right for me.’ And that is what I’ve always trusted, that if I can’t walk away having done something and be super proud of it, or if I have any sort of red flag in my heart that I may have regret over this, even again, if it’s not this thing that seems bad to everyone, but in my spirit, it doesn’t feel right, I just know that’s made it easier to make that decision to stay true to who I am.”

God bless Candace Cameron Bure for showing that a good Christian woman can be successful in Hollywood!
