Celebrate Christmas with Danica McKellar | Season One, Episode 8

Ойын-сауық

Candace is joined by her longtime friend Danica McKellar.
Danica is an actress, producer, New York Times Best Selling author, and mathematician who is best known for her role as Winnie in The Wonder Years. She has also shared the ballroom with Candace on Dancing With The Stars Season 18, and she recently celebrated the release of her movie “Christmas At The Drive In” which premiered on the Great American Family in November.
Together, they chat about the moment they met, how faith has brought Danica closer to her Dad, and the ways that being a Christian changes how you celebrate Christmas. Danica shares about her love for Chocolate Yule Log, the Christmas movie that is on repeat in her home each year, and why her Christmas wish is for others to feel the joy she experienced this year. Because life is going to happen, but having a relationship with Jesus centers us.
In this episode, you will hear Candace and Danica discuss:
The first time they met on the set of Growing Pains.
Danica’s walk to faith and how her friendship with Candace was part of that journey.
Celebrating Christmas through the lens of faith and how that changes the way they celebrate.
What led Danica to start the infamous Great American Dance War
The intense, fun, and emotional roller coaster of filming and playing a character

    I remember the first Christmas after I'd become a Christian. I already knew the lyrics of all the Christmas carols - many of them to the 2nd and 3rd verses - and had sung them for years. But I heard and understood them for the very first time that Christmas. The songs had such life in them! What a rich experience that was!

    Loved her in the Wonder Years when I was young, and was so happy to see her successful as an adult in Math, books, and as an actress ... often in the cheesy Christmas movies we love (and dark hair and dark eyes catch my eye faster than others ... BUT!) this makes me like her even more. And this is a very brave thing for her to come out publicly with in these times. Not just a smart pretty face on TV, but a real human being with depth. Lotta respect.

    It's so hard. I've been devoted to God my whole life. But every time I hit hectic storms I resent Him for allowing this hurt and pain. I feel so guilty every time my faith withers through hardship. I've been waiting and praying for breakthrough 31years. And to have family that resent you makes everything harder.

    @zellafincham4237 there is a lot of pain and hurt. I hope you find someone safe that you can talk with about it. I'm a counselor and went to tons of counseling. There is lots of help out there, but find someone you can feel safe with. I learned a therapy called EMDR and it has helped many ppl. It can help ppl to improve much quicker than talk therapy by itself, so it shortens the amount of time needed for things to get better. Everybody is different and so I tell ppl that results vary, but I see tremendous improvement in many ppl. I had a root canal a few weeks ago and decided to use a little of EMDR to help me un-tense and I got so relaxed that I dozed a little. (THAT is a miracle for me!) I hope you find someone who can help you. Merry Christmas, dear Zella. from Skosh
