Christian actress Candace Cameron Bure, most widely known for playing DJ Tanner in “Full House” and it’s sequel series “Fuller House,” displayed just how true and genuine her faith in Christ really is while speaking during the 2024 Movieguide Award Gala, the 31st of such events. Bure decided to take an opportunity while at the event to pray for those who were in attendance and others involved in the entertainment industry.
According to the Christian Tribune, the prayer kicked off after Bure said that she hoped everyone was enjoying themselves and gave thanks for all those who put on the event, and then thanking the Lord for allowing everyone to show up to it together and for Movieguide organization for hosting it it. Movieguide is a Christian and faith-focused “guide to movies and entertainment.”
She went on to say, “Lord, we come before you, and we are so grateful that we are able to gather together in this room.”
Continuing, she prayed for those with the responsibility of creating and producing stories to be bold in honoring the Lord through their work, saying, “Lord, my prayer for today is that all the people in this room would be bold for you, that they would continue to be bold in their scripts and their writing and producing and directing. [That] the fear of man would not be bigger than the fear and awe and reverence of you, Lord.”
She then prayed that those who gathered for the event would, if they have not already, turn their hearts toward God and know HIm, saying, “May every person in this room know who you are. I pray that you would pursue every heart in this room and every heart that is watching this right now, pursue [them] relentlessly so that they may know your mercy and love and grace.”
Concluding, she said, “We remember that while we’re being honored and giving honor to so many, that there’s no one that deserves higher honor than you because you gave your one and only Son for all of us to die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin so that we can be reconciled to you and justified before you on judgment day. We thank you Lord. I pray everyone gets home safe tonight, and I pray in Jesus’ name, amen.”

Faith based films and entertainment are sorely needed in our current societal climate. Especially since the left is trying so hard to use entertainment as a means of indoctrinating children with their destructive worldview. It’s time for Christians to get back in the game and apply the gospel to every area of life.
