Tanner on \u201cFull House,\u201d just wants to make Christmas movies that spread the joy and wholesomeness of Christmas and of her Christian faith. To that end, she recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/candace-cameron-bure-great-american-family-11668205295\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moved<\/a> from Hallmark to Great American Family, a new, smaller channel \u201cthat is positioning itself as the God-and-country alternative for holiday entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the crime of wanting to make a product that aligns better with her Christian faith, Bure is getting slammed as a bigot. But instead of apologizing for her convictions, Bure\u2019s words and actions indicate she\u2019s more interested in spreading the love of Christ than appeasing her Hollywood haters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them,\u201d Bure told The Wall Street Journal in a feature story that set off a firestorm of backlash on Monday. \u201cI knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The channel isn\u2019t designed to \u201cproselytize\u201d or tell overtly religious stories, but to provide itself as an alternative for Americans who are fed up with the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2017\/09\/18\/youve-never-really-seen-hollywood-portray-abortion-scene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">incessant<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/hallmark-releasing-1st-gay-led-181043082.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">agendas<\/a> of mainstream Hollywood, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/candace-cameron-bure-great-american-family-11668205295\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">suggested<\/a> Bill Abbott, the former CEO of Hallmark\u2019s parent company who is now heading up Great American Media, which includes Great American Family. Prompted by a question about whether same-sex relationships will be central features of her films, Bure said in her interview with the Journal, \u201cI think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For that line, Bure was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1354965\/maren-morris-jodie-sweetin-chrishell-stause-and-more-weigh-in-on-candace-cameron-bure-controversy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chastised<\/a> by former Hallmark <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/tv\/stars-react-to-candace-cameron-bure-controversial-traditional-marriage-comment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">colleagues<\/a> and other fellow stars from JoJo Siwa to Maren Morris, Chrishell Stause, and even Bure\u2019s former \u201cFull House\u201d costar Jodie Sweetin, who commented her support for Siwa\u2019s post slamming Bure.<\/p>\n<p> The Real Christmas Story <\/p>\n<p>Instead of caving to her critics and apologizing for her faith, Bure used her response on Thursday as an opportunity to share the Gospel story for which Christmas exists in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a devoted Christian. Which means that I believe that every human being bears the image of God,\u201d she wrote on Instagram. \u201cBecause of that, I am called to love all people, and I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn everything I do and say,\u201d she continued, \u201cGod\u2019s love and God\u2019s compassion is front and center. All of that comes from the LOVE that God himself showered upon humanity when he gave the gift of joy and forgiveness on the first Christmas morning 2000 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Without apologizing for her Christian beliefs, Bure said it \u201cbreaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone.\u201d She also indicated that, while she won\u2019t use her movies to promote an agenda that undermines traditional marriage, her beliefs do not preclude her from loving and working alongside people whose lifestyles she may not condone (this same distinction has been made by <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/10\/06\/the-never-ending-persecution-of-jack-phillips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jack Phillips<\/a>, another Christian targeted for his convictions). \u201cI<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Christmas movie queen responded to haters with an unapologetic message about the sacrificial love of Christ, just in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1353,"featured_media":1744139,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1744136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1744136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1353"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1744136"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1744136\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1744139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1744136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1744136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1744136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
