Candace Cameron Bure tells Liberty U students: “Christian’s need to ‘walk the walk'”
Bure spoke at a Liberty University convocation where she told the students that Christians need to do more than throw Bible scriptures at people, they must “walk the walk.”
Bure spoke about the importance of kindness. She told the students, “That’s what the world sees in us as Christians, our character. We can recite whatever Bible verses we want, but if they don’t see us walking the walk then we are not representing Christ.”
The mother of three also encouraged the college students to work in multiple industries as a way to be a light in the world.
She said, “If you are not in every type of business out in the world, then who is going to be doing it? We have to be in spaces that are not only in a Christian bubble. We have to get out there so we can be an influence on other people.”
Bure has used her platform in Hollywood to openly share her faith but admitted that she’s still careful when selecting roles in the secular industry.
She also spoke about her experiences on the daytime talk show “The View” where she was a co-host for two seasons.
She has previously admitted that her Christian faith has not always been accepted. She told Wendy Williams, “I have experienced discrimination in the faith department for sure, in my career. But I don’t experience it so much right now.”
Bure said, “I don’t win every battle but I’m fighting (for my values). I know it’s honoring to God.”
