How does our theology or lack thereof inform our actions, how we raise our children, and ultimately what our nation will look like in the long-term? Today we talk with Kirk Cameron about how God has pursued him as a teenager and how the Lord is leading him to continually put his faith into action.
Note: This transcription may vary from the words used in the original episode for better readability. Welcome again. You have joined us for another episode of Veritas Vox, the voice of classical Christian education. Today we have with us someone that you're probably familiar with, Kirk Cameron. Kirk, welcome. It is so good to have you here. You have been a wonderful influence in so many different ways and so many different things for such a long time.
So tell us a little bit about yourself personally growing up and that sort of thing, and be sure to mention the significant highlights of your conversion because that was interesting to learn about. Sure, well, thank you. I'm actually, I'm, I'm in Middle Tennessee right now visiting a few of our adult children. And I, at that time was a little wisecracking year-old teenager. They called my character a hormone with feet.
Yeah, I was pretty much the whole character that I was playing, getting into trouble, trying to stay out of it, giving my my brothers and sisters a hard time while trying to have a good time. And it was in the middle of that, that TV show, Growing Pains in the s that I was converted out of atheism.
So I would have considered myself an atheist. My family never went to church. We never talked about God. I thought that Jesus was part of a different trinity. The Easter Bunny, the Tooth fairy, and God. It was when I met a really cute girl on the set of Growing Pains who invited me to meet with her family one weekend that I found myself at their church, and I heard the message of the gospel preached and went to a youth group meeting after that.
