‘Dancing With the Stars’ Allowed Actress to ‘Share the Light of Christ’ (Video)

Actress Candace Cameron Bure visited TheBlaze newsroom Thursday on the heels of concluding her “Dancing With the Stars” TV competition, where she praised the show as an exhilarating, yet exhausting experience — one that allowed her to share her faith with the masses.

“I had so many people praying for me and so I say that — not praying for me to win — winning was not what it was about,” Bure told TheBlaze. “But so many people praying for me that God would just use my position to glorify him each and every week that I was on.”

Though she said her personal goal was only to make it to the 6th week of competition, Bure ended up making it to the 10th week — the show’s season finale — this past Thursday, finishing third out of a cast of 12 actors, musicians and Olympians who were fiercely competing for the win.

Bure caught a flurry of media attention in March when she defended her Christian faith on the show and refused to compromise her values, sparking droves of supporters — and critics — with her comments about modesty and reserving certain things for her husband.
