As 2021 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on our most popular stories of the year. The following article was one of our most read this year. Come back to movieguide.org in 2022 for more inspirational content!
Actress and former AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL winner Adrienne Curry recently apologized to Kirk Cameron for hating him due to his Christianity and belief in God.
“I sneered at the mention of his name because my agnostic beliefs set me above all others in my infinite godless greatness,” Curry confessed on her Facebook. “When I really ask myself why I did so, my only truthful answer is that I was surrounded by godless people who fancied themselves better than anyone and everyone who had faith in anything besides their own selfish selves.”
Curry added that those around her told her “that anyone who was anything besides Muslim, atheist, agnostic, gay, etc., was very bad and stupid.”
However, after watching an interview with Cameron, Curry’s long-held assumptions about the GROWING PAINS star changed.
“Recently, I watched an interview with the guy. He came off as very humble and incredibly likable. I watched a few more. Loyal to his wife, a family man, a former atheist who found some meaning in life. He just comes off as a good dude,” Curry said, adding: “Sorry, dude, I walked with the flock of sheep who told me what to hate and what to like without question.”
Although Curry admitted she did not expect a response from Cameron, Cameron said a friend had informed him of her apology.
“After losing my faith in atheism at 18 I asked the maker of all the beautiful and purposeful things I saw in the world (stars, galaxies, sunrises, purple hydrangeas, children, laughter, deep grief, good food, love, loyalty, courage, honor…) to help me understand the truth about it all,” he responded. “And I started to say, ‘Thank you.’”
“I too, as a young man on top of all the Teen-Beat world in Hollywood, thought I was bigger and better than a made-up god-crutch,” he continued. “But I too was just following the herd of sheep, running with those who wanted to see themselves as too smart to believe or trust in God. I kept denying God’s existence But then, thankfully, I ran out of excuses. I didn’t find God in Babylon; He wasn’t lost. I was lost, and He found me. Blessing to you on your journey.”
Curry expressed her thankfulness for Cameron’s response.
“Thanks for being so gracious to someone admitting they misjudged you,” she wrote. “You haven’t walked an easy path in tinsel town and for that… I salute you.”
Which includes many videos that are free to watch , thank God.

Great story. Thanks for sharing!
I love Kirk. This is a great story.
Saw a Kevin Sorbo interview the other day. He said he’ll be in an upcoming Left Behind movie.
Ray is a major force to be reckoned with. He really know how to hit it on the head. You must be truly convinced you need a Savior before you will truly accept Him.
Wonderful testimony
Cool!
Yes, he is not of the camp that coaxes a prayer of confession out of a soul who is basically just mouthing it. In Romans 10 to confess the Lord Jesus meant denying Caesar as Lord, and which essentially took years off your life expectancy chart.
God works in mysterious, and sometimes not so mysterious, ways.
Some prayers get answered right away. Some prayers just need to be the right prayer to get answered.
I used to see Cameron and some of his kids in the facility where I worked in SoCal. Super nice and attentive to his children.
Great story on the actress apologizing, and the video with Cameron and his wife. Thank you for sharing.
Curry added that those around her told her “that anyone who was anything besides Muslim, atheist, agnostic, gay, etc., was very bad and stupid.”
Lol. That opinion is amazingly insane and self-contradictory.
Great post.
Saul on the road to Damascus.
Lol. That opinion is amazingly insane and self-contradictory.
Yes. Satan is the father of lies.
Jesus said "I am the truth and the way."
We are very limited creatures.
On the other hand, within our limits, we are capable of amazing things.
I recently had somebody comment regarding Christianity “intolerance to intolerance isn’t bigotry”.
They really believe in their superiority and can’t see their stupidity for a microsecond.
From the right heart and in accordance with God's word and will. And thus as I heard someone say (in a different order), God always [in all-ways] answers prayer [by a faithful believer]: sometimes it is No [not my will be done]; sometimes it is Know [something you need to learn first]; sometimes it is Slow [in patience possess ye your souls]; and sometimes it is Go.
He desperately wants us to go in any direction but Christ.
Sadly so: anything but the God of the Bible.
