I remember in 9th grade I prayed Kirk Cameron would become a Christian. I wrote him a letter explaining the gospel message as best as I could and sent it to the address in my Teen Beat magazine. Lol. I doubt he got it, but my prayers were still answered! :-)
Then you should feel sorry, because Kirk Cameron is one of the persons that most harm has done to Christianity. He spreads Young Earth Creationist lies Ken Ham style and he needs to stop. The Bible does NOT teach a 6000 year old Earth, and people who believe it does and that it's important for Christianity are the real problem, not atheism.
@@logans.butler285 how in the world could you not believe in a young earth? (As opposed to billions of years) how old do you think it is then? Where do you get that idea?
I have always loved Kirk Cameron. When I found out he turned to the Lord, I noticed how different he became. I love his passion and his great faith in God. I pray he never walks away from the Lord but just continues to draw closer to Him. I am so happy to hear he is still married to the same woman. God bless him and his whole family.
Those who are truly Born Again of The Spirit of God will never walk away John 14:16 “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-
If you weren’t at least in elementary school to an adult in the mid-Eighties, you have no idea how huge of a star Kirk Cameron was at that time. He was on every magazine cover and every boy wanted to be like Mike Seiver, while every girl wanted to date him. The guy could have been as big as DiCaprio, but he wasn’t willing to sell his soul to Hollywood... got to respect that.
I was born in '86, so when I used to watch 'Growing Pains,' it was after its run. I knew Kirk Cameron's character was popular but never THAT popular. I wonder if we'll ever get a TV star as big like that ever again?
Living (and loving) proof of why the American way of life, and its Western Judeo-Christian value system is the single greatest blessing on Earth. Very inspiring. Thanks Prager U!
How wonderful. Love hearing how long he’s been married. It’s something to truly be proud of. My husband and I are going on year 28 and unfortunately u don’t get to hear that much anymore. It used to be normal now not so much. Loved growing pains watched it every week 🥰
Problem is, kirk wants to go back to the days of the 1950's when members of the lgbt community were viewed as either A) having a mental illness which resulted in them being locked up and tortured in asylums for years or B) viewed as being akin to pedophiles/child molesters and locked up in prison. Either way, his kind of anti-lgbt rhetoric resulted in lgbt people being harassed and beaten by the police, and then thrown in jail where they are beaten, raped, and/or stabbed to death in the old days. That's not the world I want to live in and I don't want my future nieces and nephews to live in that kind of world either.
We threw a surprise 40th anniversary for my parents this past year. It was so fun and mom was truly surprised, dad knew we where plotting something but not at the level we did. Here's to hoping someone plans an amazing 40th for you guys as well.
Wow! This wasn't the interview I was expecting. I was trying to remember who Kirk Cameron was. Now I know who kirk Cameron is. Exceptional. Very well articulated and inspiring. Stay Strong.
I remember watching him and Ray Comfort going around Europe (mostly) and Ray would do open air preaching and they would go around sharing the gospel. I was always awed about how brave and bold they were for the gospel. 😊
@SpaceAgeSlave Hollywood is a suburb of Hell. Producers are notorious sex fiends, raping men, women and children, and getting away with it. Roman Polanski was convicted of drugging and raping a 14-year-old girl, and he was actually incredulous that anyone would dare throw him in jail for that! Oprah Winfrey had the audacity to defend that pervert, even though he jumped bail, and is still living as a wanted fugitive in France. Hollywood is infested with perverts like Polanski; they just haven't been caught yet. "Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment" (Isaiah 59:15). Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Establish the Kingdom in Jerusalem, and keep the world safe from Democracy!
@@hustlehustlehustle Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron are far more intelligent than you are. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction" (Proverbs 1:7, KJV).
@@davidlafleche1142 a fool is someone who believes too readily, someone who's gullible. Of course the bible reverses the meaning and the feeble minded quote such nonsense. 100% of creationists are ignorant or dishonest or both. That's not hyperbole, but a demonstrable fact.

Probably my first comment on RUclips, but I wanted to share that I was so hooked while listening to him with my headphones that I got into the subway without a facemask until a security guard warned me (it is mandatory in indoors public spaces here where I live, Madrid). Really inspiring story Mr. Cameron. God bless you.
That was one of the most powerful Stories of Us. Not only was is story incredible but he never once got political. Bravo Kirk. One of your best moments on camera ever!!
Thanks for sharing your story Kirk. I'm a Christian that's gone kind of cold and I'm seeking the things of faith and Jesus and God to rekindle the flames of faith.
Met him at a media event a few years ago. Remember thinking then, he would make a great teacher especially for religious education as it adapts to communications in a digital age. He stays relevant and has a voice that young people need to hear.
I loved this interview. We chose to homeschool, too, and I felt the exact same way about socialization. I had so many adults tell me that talking to my kids was like talking to other adults.
It takes guts to stand for traditional values these days. I applaud this man standing for Jesus, and for reason, for truth and for reality. Thank you Kirk.
He's such a good dude. He's be considered lame and maybe even dangerous for his beliefs and politics but that only speaks to those people who would think that. And I have seen it so those people do exist, amazingly. But when you have faith and family it just rolls off your back.
Nothing has harmed Christianity or Orthodox Judaism more than Young Earth Creationism, Kirk Cameron is a crackpot no different from Ray Confort or Ken Ham
This is a great story, in every way. He was extremely famous, and it is such a wonderful example he sets in telling us how God tracked him down. I can relate to his path in that I was brought back to my faith by realizing, with God’s help, how sterile was the education I was receiving in college. I thank God every day.
He reminds me of what a descent normal man looks like! No crazy left wing political BS, no crazy sexual identity BS, no crazy race BS…. Awesome man for young people to emulate!
@@amandahuginkiss4098 You haven't bothered to actually read the bible or understand the cultures of the time to see that the bible doesn't support slavery; it was a form of indentured work and the biblical laws forbid injuring, killing or even sexually assaulting those in that situation. It provided a way for poverty stricken families to be able to find work, food and shelter. As for mass slaughtering charge, you ignore the fact that the societies God ordered wiped out were involved in Child and human sacrifices and incredible perversions. It was sick society that God gave 400 years to turn from this behaviour before bringing judgement on them. God warned the Jews that if they picked up the same attitudes and actions of those people they would also be judged; and they were. You ignore the fact that God told the Jews not to attack other groups of people and to even pay for the use of the roads. Why? Because God doesn't just bring capital judgement on people without allowing them time to straighten out their lives, but God will bring judgement on them or their descendants when they have become such a sick society that they can no longer respond to the warnings of how sick they are. Want an example. Re-watch the videos of ANTIFA and BLM burning down towns while screaming how they are oppressed or western society supposedly is oppressing others. How immigrant shop owners supposedly suppressed them has never been answered, but that wasn't the reason for the destruction anyway. The vast majority of those individuals involved are now being found to be career criminals just using the event to murder, steal and destroy while much of the main stream media justified their actions. How close is Western culture now to being irredeemable?
I remember noticing the change in him, watching episodes of Growing Pains. I hadn't watched it super regularly - it was a bit too worldly of a show for my parents to probably approve of for us as kids/teens, so, I sorta just watched it when they weren't around, knowing that for myself anyways, it wasn't going to change core values as a Christian ( not that even subtle influences aren't still effective and dangerous , or that I endorse doing unnecessary things your parents don't want u to ! ). Anyways, I totally noticed something different about him, that seemed to be coming from within him, not just from the script, which also seemed to be suddenly more pro-wholesome, nearly obviously Christian values - in his character's life anyways. So, I suspected he may have gotten saved and was able to influence the scripts for his character, but had no way of knowing, as a busy ( farming ), homeschooled and not at all online or buying Hollywood mags etc., teen. So, I prayed for him now n then and that's that, til after fireproof came out and I saw it at a friend's house and found out some of his story ! Later I read his autobiography and heard the rest. It was just so very neat how I could just tell, even thru a fictional TV show, that he was probably born again. Continuing to pray for the rest of the cast and others, & everyone around the world !
Internet wasn’t around when Kirk was as famous. Yes, he used his fame to influence scripts. Instead of tackling real life issues, Kirk wanted to portray a Punky Brewster view of the world. Heaven forbid lessons be taught and there be commentaries on real issues affect kids at the time.
@@fantasticbeast9962 keep to the point. theres several ways to tackle 1 issue. being a sour puss/ envious of someone else is not one of them. what you want is documentary, not a fictional series. its that way. >>🎪
I want to thank Prager and Kirk Cameron for this segment. I have been struggling with my beliefs, and all life dishes out. I have recently started going to a church, and I am trying to have more faith and grow in the Lord. I, of course, still fall short, but I must keep trying. This was great, inspiring, and I hope that I can achieve a relationship with God like Kirk has! God bless you, one and all! 🙏
Just remember, it's all about becoming a little better each day, not being perfect. And the trials you face are, as Kirk said here, the boiling water... they will shape you. Don't give up!
Im in a similar position. I've lost my faith. I no longer am a Christian. But I am going to a church that I mostly like. I don't know what will happen from here.
This was incredibly inspiring. Throughly enjoyed his story. People can be so resistant and powerful that it bleeds onto the people around them especially children. We need more of these people.
I love everything about the story on how he met his wife - From the kissing skills of a chicken to her paralyzing reaction to the first kiss. That's absolutely adorable and NOT what I would have imagined when I was a teen girl in the 80s, pics of him literally covering every inch of my bedroom walls. Too funny, too precious!
Kirk, thanks for your holy and awesome tribute to your faithful career and life. We’ve been waiting for over 10 years for your voice to be heard on this Channel. You are more than a celebrity, you are our Orthodox Brother. 🙏🏼🙏🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿 P.S. Thanks for your favorable spin on homeschooling. Keep on preaching to da choir!
I dunno why but this video touched my heart in such a way that i cannot comprehend and only wonder how much different my life would have been had i followed my true beliefs and not have strayed so far from what I thought was real and pure. Thanks PragerU and thanks Mike Seaver. Theres a reason why yall are here and that reason is real and pure.
I don't think I've smiled as much as I did during this video in years. Seeing a childhood TV actor that is not a raging, hateful lunatic makes me hopeful. Thank you Mr. Cameron.
We had the same revelation about institutional education! Yanked our kids out of school and never looked back. It wasn't always fun but any means but our children are self sufficient, self supporting, productive adults in their early twenties. Not still living off of us at home, not little Romans in college, not living in fear. Living robust lives as young people should be!
I often daydream about saving the money for our kids' Christian private school and sending them to our local public school. And then reminders like this come my way reminding me how they really are indoctrination camps. (And I'm actually a teacher at that local school...really...and I just can't bring myself to send my own kids there.)
@@monsterhunter445 your comments are unwarranted, I think you have a story to tell. Why don't you talk to us about it, we would like to listen and hear you out.
Love you kirk Cameron, I wish my son could listen and learn from you. He is into film making industry, grew up a soft Christian young man, but now, he's so hardened, different, so much changed about his life direction, I just pray for him, now.
What a beautiful man Kirk Cameron is, inside and out and Chelsea is a very lucky woman indeed. Yes to gratitude because it overrides negativity into a profound journey of love and happiness!

Awesome story of someone who is truly admirable. Hollywood has produced few truly admirable people, but Kirk is definitely one worth showcasing. Thank you, Prager U. Thank you, Kirk!
If you really want an emotional experience I recommend down loading ' The Chosen' The best depiction of Jesus and his disciples I've ever seen. Gives you great insight into Jesus as a person and why people were so willing to follow him. We're all craving season 3
It takes a rare individual to have everything they want around them. All the money, fame, mansions, cars, women, and to still be sincere, humble and not self absorbed enough to question what it all means, seek a higher power, feel/know there must be something beyond all this, etc.
@Lukas Lombardo that I know of I don't think I have any blood relatives that are Italian. However my ancestry does go back to the Vikings so God only knows for sure.😁
I love Kirk and everything he stands for!! We also love all of the Prager University videos. We just started watching the Prager U for kids videos and LOVE them!! We are also a homeschool family and have been homeschooling since our oldest was 4! We went to our first homeschool conference was when our oldest daughter was 8 months old. Our youngest was a 1 day old foster baby and her adoption was finalized when she was less than 11 months old! It was a total miracle! She is now 11 and our oldest is 19. 💕
I enjoyed your story! It reminded me of the scripture in Alma 62:41. "But behold, because of the exceedingly great length of the war between the Nephites and the Lamanites many had become hardened, because of the exceedingly great length of the war; and many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility." You are right...we all experience difficulties in life. We choose if those challenges will turn us toward God or away from him.
Had a similar experience with homeschooling. I was teaching university, and researching with CSI/FBI, GCSB & Police, so when friends encouraged us to home school, I didn't think it possible, but then our eldest was incomprehensibly falling behind in some subjects, and the university didn't renew my contract (which I later learned was illegal), I decided to try home schooling using ACE materials. Government rules made us jump through a lot of hoops that discourage home schooling, but with the help of friends, we got there. Prior to that, my offers to help with homework would be met with rejection: "You're not a teacher. you're just dad." Within 3 months of starting to home school, I overheard my daughter tell a friend. "No. That's not right. My Dad says, ..." That affirmed my decision to take back responsibility for what my children learned. That was 5 years ago. Averages have moved from 60% to 98% in all subjects, and they've learned to be self motivated and responsible for their education, and by extension, their lives.
My wife and i got married at 23 and 22 and everyone said we were nuts. 4 years later we have a beautiful son who is our world and we are so happy in the gift God gave us. We skipped an unknown ammount of pain by marrying young and we see pur friends who chose hookup culture experiencing that pain. I hope they choose to get out of it and find the joy that we have.
God bless you my dear brother in JESUS, you were where GOD wanted you to be, your testimony is such a blessing you and your family will be in my prayers Peace in Jesus 🙃🙂
We are a family of 13, and we have 11 children. We are also, a homeschooling family of 15 years. My kids went to school, for a day or 3. We pull them out, and did with the Lord told us. We have 5 that are special needs, and it's getting harder. Please pray for my family, as we continue this journey.

Loved loved loved this! Praise God, this brought me so much joy. May God continue to use Kirk for His glory. He's so fun to listen to!
You are a great storyteller, sir. We need men like you in the world. What happened to us?
Love you Kirk.
Kirk, thanks for your holy and awesome tribute to your faithful career and life. We’ve been waiting for over 10 years for your voice to be heard on this Channel. You are more than a celebrity, you are our Orthodox Brother. 🙏🏼🙏🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿
P.S. Thanks for your favorable spin on homeschooling. Keep on preaching to da choir!
I dunno why but this video touched my heart in such a way that i cannot comprehend and only wonder how much different my life would have been had i followed my true beliefs and not have strayed so far from what I thought was real and pure. Thanks PragerU and thanks Mike Seaver. Theres a reason why yall are here and that reason is real and pure.
I don't think I've smiled as much as I did during this video in years. Seeing a childhood TV actor that is not a raging, hateful lunatic makes me hopeful. Thank you Mr. Cameron.
Brilliant Kirk, well done, stand proud!! God bless. ✝️🙏🏻
We had the same revelation about institutional education! Yanked our kids out of school and never looked back. It wasn't always fun but any means but our children are self sufficient, self supporting, productive adults in their early twenties. Not still living off of us at home, not little Romans in college, not living in fear. Living robust lives as young people should be!
Just fantastic! I always admired Kirk for following his path. Loved everything he spoke about!
And what does he have to say for himself and the Kendrick Brothers for pouring soy milk over masculinity with their Fireproof Love Dare BS?
Sheep attitude
What a wonderful story, Kirk! Thank you for sharing!
PragerU...Excellent addition to the PragerU family. Kirk Cameron is outstanding.
God knows what we want in our heart.
I often daydream about saving the money for our kids' Christian private school and sending them to our local public school. And then reminders like this come my way reminding me how they really are indoctrination camps. (And I'm actually a teacher at that local school...really...and I just can't bring myself to send my own kids there.)
Maybe you should private school kids are party animals. Public school is fine I make a 7 figure salary and I am a leftist too
@@monsterhunter445 your comments are unwarranted, I think you have a story to tell. Why don't you talk to us about it, we would like to listen and hear you out.
Love you kirk Cameron, I wish my son could listen and learn from you. He is into film making industry, grew up a soft Christian young man, but now, he's so hardened, different, so much changed about his life direction, I just pray for him, now.
What a beautiful man Kirk Cameron is, inside and out and Chelsea is a very lucky woman indeed. Yes to gratitude because it overrides negativity into a profound journey of love and happiness!
Love this episode so much, Kirk Cameron is such a sincere and genuine person who loves the Lord so much 💛
My respect for Kirk Cameron just increased exponentially.
Kirk. You are such a light man
God bless you and your family
"As long as we've got" our unparalleled Lord and savior, there's nothing we can't grow from and overcome everyday. It's so awesome to reconnect with our talented performer/creator in a joyous way.🙏🏾🙌🏾🤝🏾💪🏾🏃🏾♂️🌊🌅 Stay safe and encouraged everyone!
Awesome story of someone who is truly admirable. Hollywood has produced few truly admirable people, but Kirk is definitely one worth showcasing. Thank you, Prager U. Thank you, Kirk!
Left behind is one of my favorite of all time
Wonderful. God Bless Chelsea and Cameron for bringing some well balanced children and adults into the world. :pray:
If you really want an emotional experience I recommend down loading ' The Chosen' The best depiction of Jesus and his disciples I've ever seen. Gives you great insight into Jesus as a person and why people were so willing to follow him. We're all craving season 3
Thanks for sharing! Was a big fan in the 80’s. You’ve been a breath of fresh air from the Hollywood scene.
God bless Kirk Cameron!
God bless you, Kirk!
Now that was an awesome story. Thank You for bringing that to me.
what a wonderful interview my kids and us watched his show. SO GLAD HE LOVES THE LORD!!!!
Amazing story! Thank you.
His honesty is so refreshing. Great testimony
It takes a rare individual to have everything they want around them. All the money, fame, mansions, cars, women, and to still be sincere, humble and not self absorbed enough to question what it all means, seek a higher power, feel/know there must be something beyond all this, etc.
You have to respect and marvel at someone who does not follow the herd. Mr Cameron is one awesome gentleman.
@Lukas Lombardo that I know of I don't think I have any blood relatives that are Italian. However my ancestry does go back to the Vikings so God only knows for sure.😁
Very brave man. From a world of people with no self esteem and in turn, courage to assume a righteous identity. Godspeed.
Such a great brother in Christ!
OUTSTANDING! What a joy it was to here such a wonderful testimony.
I LOVED Growing Pains. I am so happy Kirk is where he is today.
Love your testimony brother
GOD BLESS
🙏❤🙌🇺🇸
What a dope dude. I used to think he was a little out there, but I was young and didn’t have a relationship with God myself.
Such a needed story in today's world, thank you so much!!!
I love Kirk and everything he stands for!! We also love all of the Prager University videos. We just started watching the Prager U for kids videos and LOVE them!! We are also a homeschool family and have been homeschooling since our oldest was 4! We went to our first homeschool conference was when our oldest daughter was 8 months old. Our youngest was a 1 day old foster baby and her adoption was finalized when she was less than 11 months old! It was a total miracle! She is now 11 and our oldest is 19. 💕
I admire and respect Kirk Cameron more than any man alive today.
I approve this message.
Super good. Thank you, Kirk. And thank you for all the great Growing Pains moments.
Homeschooling is a blessing!! 🙋🏼♀️
I’ve prayed for Mike for years. Those prayers were heard
I enjoyed your story! It reminded me of the scripture in Alma 62:41. "But behold, because of the exceedingly great length of the war between the Nephites and the Lamanites many had become hardened, because of the exceedingly great length of the war; and many were softened because of their afflictions, insomuch that they did humble themselves before God, even in the depth of humility." You are right...we all experience difficulties in life. We choose if those challenges will turn us toward God or away from him.
Wow that was great! I didn’t know all that about him. God bless him.
Omg I totally got emotional when he said that girl is now the same woman he’s married too for over 30 years ❤❤❤
Had a similar experience with homeschooling. I was teaching university, and researching with CSI/FBI, GCSB & Police, so when friends encouraged us to home school, I didn't think it possible, but then our eldest was incomprehensibly falling behind in some subjects, and the university didn't renew my contract (which I later learned was illegal), I decided to try home schooling using ACE materials. Government rules made us jump through a lot of hoops that discourage home schooling, but with the help of friends, we got there. Prior to that, my offers to help with homework would be met with rejection: "You're not a teacher. you're just dad." Within 3 months of starting to home school, I overheard my daughter tell a friend. "No. That's not right. My Dad says, ..." That affirmed my decision to take back responsibility for what my children learned. That was 5 years ago. Averages have moved from 60% to 98% in all subjects, and they've learned to be self motivated and responsible for their education, and by extension, their lives.
I remember Kirk as the 'always debate-boy' in 'growing pains' sitcom...
Proud to see him grow up as Christian...May God bless you and yours, Kirk..!!
Wow oh wow. Talk about grounded. Love this.
Great message! A simple, yet profound and powerful message!
My wife and i got married at 23 and 22 and everyone said we were nuts. 4 years later we have a beautiful son who is our world and we are so happy in the gift God gave us. We skipped an unknown ammount of pain by marrying young and we see pur friends who chose hookup culture experiencing that pain. I hope they choose to get out of it and find the joy that we have.
God bless you my dear brother in JESUS, you were where GOD wanted you to be, your testimony is such a blessing you and your family will be in my prayers Peace in Jesus 🙃🙂
Hes a blessed and lucky man
We are a family of 13, and we have 11 children. We are also, a homeschooling family of 15 years. My kids went to school, for a day or 3. We pull them out, and did with the Lord told us. We have 5 that are special needs, and it's getting harder. Please pray for my family, as we continue this journey.
Keep producing these great videos Kirk! We need more “good people” like you to prove Christians aren’t crazy like a lot of people say!
That's my new all-time fave quote. It will be on a social media set somewhere.
Love your story. You've got a good life and it's so good to hear such a thankful heart. God bless you.
Beautiful and inspiring testimony!
Awesome brother! Keep living the good life!
Thank you Kirk for that inspiring message. I hope it serves to inspire others to pause, look at their own lives and reevaluate things.
Not sure I've ever seen Kirk outside of Growing Pains / Left Behind. What a wonderful individual. ❤ Much love to him and his family.
You have to check out the movie Fire Proof!
