Candace Cameron Bure Vows to Share Her Faith Online Despite Critics

Candace Cameron Bure vows to share her faith online despite what critics may do or say. The actress, author and podcast host will not be stopped from spreading the word and love of Jesus Christ online, regardless of what others might say. Watch the short and powerful clip featuring Candace’s bold statement.

The world is often a cold, cruel and heartless place. Many people today look out for themselves and do not bother themselves with the needs and well-being of anyone else. Why should I be concerned with them if I’ve got all I need and more? They should go out and provide for themselves. Those seem to be the thoughts and feelings of far too many people today.

Even though the world may be cruel, uncaring and unconcerned about others, social media is an even worse place. Popular social media platforms like Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and others are full of some of the most profane and hateful stuff on the internet.

On those sites, people can hide behind a keyboard and post their vile, hate-filled messages. While Candace may often be on the receiving end of those messages, she will not stop sharing and posting about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In a clip posted on YouTube, the “Full House” actress made her bold declaration. 

The clip begins with Candace posing the following question to her two guests: “Do either of you ever have a time where you’re like, ‘This is actually too much. I don’t know if it’s worth sharing my faith online anymore?’”

One young lady responded that her faith is so integral to her identity that she has never considered stopping posting about it. Candace completely agreed with the young woman’s statement.

“To me, you can write as many bad comments about me as a Christian as you want to because for the very reasons that you guys said,” she said. “My faith is what drives me.”

John 15:18 “If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.”

New Identity-Crossing over

Elementary School Principal Reveals Wisdom and Important Lesson He's Learned

An elementary school principal has revealed valuable wisdom and an important lesson he’s learned. The educator understands that he’s in a position of influence and knows what he says and does can significantly impact the students he interacts with and encounters. Watch the short video to see what the principal has learned during his time on the job.

Educators are important people in children's lives. They interact with students daily, imparting knowledge and facts. But even more important and influential than the facts and figures shared with students are the words and attitudes those educators display in the process.

The words we use and the attitudes we demonstrate matter. People, especially young elementary students, pick up on that, which will impact them positively or negatively. That’s why one school principal knows being intentional with students is crucial. One negative or positive interaction could stick with them for the rest of their lives.

In a clip posted on social media, the principal shared “the biggest thing I’ve learned since becoming a school principal.” According to the principal, that is, “be intentional with every interaction.” The video shows the educator skipping down the school hallway with a student.

The principal shares more in the post accompanying the video, offering further insight into why he believes intentionality is so important.

“Some students you’re going to get hundreds of opportunities to interact with and others you’ll only get a handful,’” he writes. “You never know which interaction will be the one the student will remember. Make them all meaningful.”

What a wonderful thought and sentiment for teachers, educators and everyone else as we go about our daily lives. We never know how what we say or do will affect others, so it's best to choose our words and actions carefully.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

College Basketball Player with One Arm Makes History in Unforgettable Moment

A college basketball player with one arm made history in an unforgettable moment. The young woman refused to quit or let anything get in her way, and now she has set a record that will last forever. Watch the short video to learn about the inspiring young lady and the moment she will remember for the rest of her life.

Life is not fair, and anyone who says otherwise is either a liar, insane or some combination of the two. Everyone has challenges and roadblocks placed in their way. However, we all know people with more than their fair share of problems and issues. However, we also know individuals who persevere and overcome regardless of what life deals them. Baileigh Sinaman-Daniel is one of those people.

Baileigh has one arm and plays basketball collegiately for Lesley University. Anyone who knows basketball or has even watched a game for a minute understands that only having one arm would make playing the game challenging. However, that did not stop Baileigh from becoming the first woman with one arm in Division III to make a basket in a game.

“The first time when I shot the ball, and it went in, it was an immediate feeling of relief,” she said. “Because I was very happy that the shot went in, and I could kind of, you know, take a breather, and you know, remember to get back on defense. And seeing the coaches’ reactions and the team’s reaction was just a cherry on top of that whole relief feeling. And it also instilled a feeling of happiness and hope within myself.”

But she didn’t stop there.

Later in the clip, Baileigh explains that the second game in which she hit a shot came on her birthday.

She is an inspiring young woman who has refused to give up on her dream of playing basketball in college. She mentions that after being cut from her high school team her senior year, she emailed hundreds of college coaches about playing for them until she heard something positive back.

James 1:12 “There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God’s approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.”

How God Directs Our Steps When Life Feels Uncertain

One man explains how God directs our steps when life feels uncertain. His explanation and description of how the Lord works during unknown periods makes perfect sense for a loving heavenly Father. Watch the short and informative clip to hear how God guides and directs when the path forward is muddled and murky, to say the least.

Life is not always easy. Not every situation or circumstance is a cause for celebration. Sadly, there will be pain, hurt and heartache. There is simply no escaping or avoiding those periods which visit everyone at one time or another.

While instances of hurt and sorrow are never fun, other times might even cause more fear and trepidation. Of course, I’m talking about times when the outcome of a situation or the path forward is uncertain. People like knowing what is to come next. We want to be prepared, but life does not work that way. However, we have a heavenly Father we can rely on in those times.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Josh Ney discussed doubt and uncertainty and having faith in Him after mentioning Jesus’ interaction with Thomas in the New Testament book of John. 

To help illustrate his point about how God guides and directs, he mentioned how we would help a blindfolded loved one travel from Point A to Point B. Josh correctly points out that we wouldn’t remain far away from them and shout unintelligible words and phrases at them. Instead, we would stay close to them, giving them instructions and holding their hand the entire way forward.

According to Josh, that is how the Lord guides and directs us when we are unsure and uncertain about something. He doesn’t keep His distance. Instead, He is with us every step of the way.

What a lovely illustration of how the Lord works, and one that we would all do better to remember whenever those times of uncertainty arrive.

Proverbs 16:9 “A man may make designs for his way, but the Lord is the guide of his steps.”

TAYA on the True Meaning of Worship: Obedience & Sacrifice

In this powerful interview, worship artist TAYA shares a deeply biblical definition of worship, drawing from the first mention of the word in Scripture—when Abraham took his son Isaac up the mountain in obedience to God's command (Genesis 22). She beautifully connects this moment to Jesus carrying His own cross to Golgotha, reminding us that worship is not just about music or church services but about obedience and sacrifice in response to God's love. More here: https://worshipleader.com/theology/taya-a-sacrifice-of-praise/ TAYA also references Romans 12:1, emphasizing that worship extends beyond songs into our everyday lives—our eating, sleeping, and walking around—all offered to God as a living sacrifice. True worship is living in response to God's mercy, never losing sight of what He has done through His Son, Jesus Christ. ✨ Be encouraged and challenged to see worship as more than a melody—it’s a lifestyle of surrender! 📖 Romans 12:1 (MSG): "Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering." 🙏 How does this redefine worship for you?
