Growing up, McKellar had \u200ba limited understanding of Christianity and \u200bwas put off by the actions of some\u200c Christians that she witnessed.\u200b These\u200b negative \u200bexperiences caused her to stray from\u200d the faith, questioning its validity.<\/p>\n<p>It was\u2063 through \u200cthe kind invitation of fellow actress \u2064Candace Cameron Bure\u2064 that McKellar found her way back to church.

However, her visit to church with Bure \u2064shattered her preconceived notions. She realized \u200dthat Christianity was not solely \u200cdefined by the \u200cactions of a few, but rather by a\u2064 personal and authentic relationship with God.
