Danica McKellar Then And Now
Back then, Danica didn't have the best impression of Christianity. Going to church with her father on Easter was about the extent of her faith. But then, Christian celebrity Candace Cameron Bure invited Danica to come with her to church.
There, something amazing happened. Danica experienced the Holy Spirit!
“It changed my life,” she said. “I don't know what happened. Some people say the Holy Spirit came to me. All I know is that I knew I became a believer, and it was the most wonderful, transformative moment. I was flooded with this knowingness, and I have such peace from that still after two years, and I'm so grateful for it."

After the experience, the actress began pursuing Jesus with a passion, studying the Bible and learning all she could. And two years later during the Easter season, Danica McKellar couldn't believe the difference in her life between then and now.
"Easter week for me, this year [marked] two years of becoming a believer," she said. "That's when Candace Cameron Bure brought me into her church on Palm Sunday, and we saw the passion play there at Shepherd Church... It changed my life."

After the impact Christ has had in her life, Danica McKellar is on fire for the Lord. She can't help but share her faith in the hopes others will find transformation through God's love, too.

What a difference in Danica McKellar between then and now! While she used to hold a negative view of Christianity, faith has now become the cornerstone of her existence, guiding her decisions and illuminating her path.
What a beautiful Christian testimony! Danica McKellar's journey from doubt to devotion serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith. It's a testament to the fact that no one is beyond redemption and that God's love knows no bounds.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5
