  We got a question in for our American mama. Dear mama, did you
• 0:04
  see the article about Candice Cameron Burret saying why she's glad she took ten years
• 0:08
  off from acting. Well, let's ask our American mama, Mama, she
• 0:19
  said, and joining us now our American mama, Terry Nenaville. This is
• 0:27
  one of your favorite mamas, Candice Cameron Bret. We've talked about her with
• 0:31
  other things. You and Denise loved watching her Christmas movies and all that,
• 0:37
  and then of course a family channel. We've had some conversations about how she
• 0:41
  and her husband have been flirty in public and people have been upset about that,
• 0:45
  but she's like, look, he's my husband, do whatever I want.
• 0:48
  So we've talked about her before, but this was an interesting interview where
• 0:52
  she said she's glad that she took ten years off from acting, but it
• 0:58
  wasn't her choice to take that to years off. She was she was kind
• 1:00
  of in the wilderness there in Hollywood. She was. It's not that she
• 1:04
  didn't want to act, she just wasn't get any She actually feels like that
• 1:07
  God took her out of that huh, out of that realm, out of
• 1:11
  acting for a purpose. She feels like he called her to be a disciple
• 1:15
  for him and she needed to take that time off away from it to refocus
• 1:21
  because she was a childhood actor. Yes, oh yeah. And how many
• 1:25
  childhood actors do we know who are in Brittany Spears, Yes, Amanda Binds,
• 1:30
  Lindsay Lohan, right, Kenni's Cameron Beret could have been in the same
• 1:37
  category. But we never talk about her with you know, the scandal or
• 1:40
  the drug use or the or whatever. You know that the conservatorship, and
• 1:45
  that's not something she's had to deal with the same with her brother, which
• 1:47
  was interesting because he was an atheist, you know, growing up he was
• 1:49
  on growing power. Yeah, but she said being a Christian was just a
• 1:53
  compartment of my life. And she said during that season of Motherhood that she
• 1:57
  feels like God took her to the acting right. She said, during that
• 2:01
  season of Motherhood, which I focused on our relationship with God, I then
• 2:05
  actually started walking the walk. And I think about the ten years that I
• 2:07
  thought I was going to continue working. Yet God was like, Nope,
• 2:10
  I'm going to take you out for ten years because I'm gonna build your character.
• 2:14
  I'm going to build your worldview, which has become her biblical worldview,
• 2:17
  and that's how she stands on that. Even her acting, you can see
• 2:21
  the roles that she takes is very much. It offers you role models in
• 2:29
  a way that we don't see in regular secular TV shows. Yeah, it's
• 2:32
  definitely a choice. Yes, it definitely definitely is. And you know,
• 2:38
  I've been watching that the series The Chosen, I know a lot millions of
• 2:43
  millions. Well all, I mean, I put a little bit of money
• 2:46
  into it, so I have to do that disclaimer that I'm technically an investor,
• 2:49
  but it's not much anyway. Yes, love The Chosen, go watch
• 2:51
  it. Well, I have to say this too, because I've been telling
• 2:53
  everybody when you watch The Chosen, the director of this series, Dallas Jing,
• 3:00
  has brought the Bible to life in a way that will change you forever.
• 3:06
  Right, you become so invested you understand why the Twelve you know,
• 3:10
  I used to say, you know, Dad, why how did twelve men
• 3:15
  the Disciples leave their families, leave everything to follow Jesus? I mean,
• 3:20
  and he said, you have to think about it like this. Jesus had
• 3:23
  to have had a sense of humor. He was kind and good and he
• 3:27
  proved to them that he was who he said he was. Right. So
• 3:30
  when I watched this show, it is remarkable because they had they brought the
• 3:35
  humor to light. Right. You watch these men who were bad a's,
• 3:38
  you know, around him doing his works, with him beside him along,
• 3:42
  you know, along the way. And I feel like that when she said
• 3:45
  that she felt like God called her to be a disciple for him. Candice
• 3:49
  right here, I feel like that. Now I can relate to that,
• 3:53
  and I'm like, oh my gosh, we can be called well and you
• 3:55
  know what, I can relate to it too, because and I think of
• 3:58
  this, are referred to this. You know, I've always been Christian,
• 4:00
  yes, but I was Christian light like you know, I was an Easter
• 4:05
  Christian, Christmas Christian, yes right, yeah, I mean, thank thank
• 4:09
  you Jesus for the Christmas presents. That's outstanding. Yeah. God is great.
• 4:11
  God is good? Right that yes? Right? And then when you
• 4:15
  come to know the deeper meaning that she's talking about, the being called,
• 4:19
  yes, that I have something special for you, right, and to know
• 4:24
  that this isn't just something that's this doesn't make me unique, this doesn't make
• 4:28
  her unique. Actually, God's got something special for everyone single you will take
• 4:31
  the time out to listen. And being in the field that she is in
• 4:35
  in Hollywood, in that liberal, elitist kind of world. Right, she
• 4:39
  knew that by being a disciple for Christ that she was going to have stones
• 4:43
  thrown at her. She's going to have things come her way, even by
• 4:46
  friends right that would try to squash this passion she has for Jesus Christ.
• 4:51
  And when you declare that you're a Christian, you're in a high profile position.
• 4:55
  People are waiting to be able to call you a hypocrite, and they
• 4:59
  did when she made She had a stance during that. She's on that Great
• 5:02
  American Family Channel. I think she's one of the investors in right channeled like
• 5:05
  a Hallmark channel. Even some of the actors, even the actress that was
• 5:10
  with her in full House, her Jodish sister, Yes went against her,
• 5:15
  and she was trying to say, I'm I'm simply trying to follow God's teachings,
• 5:19
  right, I'm not trying to put anybody down. I'm just trying to
• 5:23
  do what I know that God wants me to do. She had so much
• 5:26
  backlash from that, yet she stood firm in her faith and without judgment.
• 5:30
  She wasn't trying to harm anybody, right, and I applaud her for being
• 5:36
  able to stand on that feeling that God has called her to do something bigger
• 5:42
  than herself, and it took her ten years to listen. That's right.
