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."
