Danica McKellar: ‘Forgiveness Is Powerful’

McKellar, 51, played Winnie Cooper on “The Wonder Years” and has appeared in numerous other TV shows and movies. The math major also has written several bestselling books, including “I Love You 100.”

In April 2022, friend and fellow actor Candace Cameron Bure invited McKellar to church on Palm Sunday, where they watched a Passion play. “It changed my life,” McKellar recalled two years later. “It was the most wonderful, transformative moment…and I’m so grateful for it.”

After becoming a Christian, McKellar began reading the Bible, listening to Tara-Leigh Cobble’s “The Bible Recap” podcast, and sharing insights about Christianity with her social media followers. From the beginning of her faith journey, the actor acknowledged that she had a lot to learn and promised she wouldn’t “preach.” But she expressed a desire for the whole world to “be open to God’s love because it’s transformative, and it’s there for everyone.”

In her April 30 faith-anniversary video, McKellar shared these four lessons from her four years of being a Christian:

Forgiveness is powerful, maybe even more so for the person doing the forgiving. The Bible is full of really interesting and often scandalous stories. Trusting God can bring calm even when circumstances don’t warrant it. I used to have an empty feeling I couldn’t describe. Turns out God was the missing piece.

As the final discovery appears on the screen, a smiling McKellar is working on a jigsaw puzzle.
