‘Christianity Is Not What I Thought It Was’—Danica McKellar Shares More About Her Newfound Faith

Danica McKellar Joined the ‘Wave of Gratitude’

Thanksgiving is a great time to focus on gratitude and intentionally practice being thankful. Challenged by Candace Cameron Bure, McKellar joined her friend’s “wave of gratitude.”

Earlier this fall, Bure challenged her friends, family, and fans to join her in posting three things for which they were thankful. To create an ongoing “wave of gratitude,” she asked each one to also challenge three friends to do the same.

McKellar was happy to join in the fun and post her own list of blessings. “Gratitude challenge accepted!! 🙏” she posted on Instagram. “Thank you to @candacecbure for nominating me to keep the gratitude wave going. 🙌 ” Three areas McKellar said she was grateful for are:

1. The seasons! 🍂 I love watching the landscape change all around as the seasons evolve. this is new for me since I lived in California most of my life. 😋
2. Dance! I find it to be such a fun challenge, and also it keeps me healthy and happy. 💃
3. My strong marriage! We just celebrated 9 years of marriage this month. 💕💕”

McKellar didn’t stop there but tagged specific friends to keep the “wave of gratitude” going.
“And… please tell me three things you’re feeling grateful for today!! Can be as simple as your morning cup of tea. 🙏,” the romcom star said.

At Home in Tennessee

Danica McKellar moved to Tennessee in 2022 and has embraced her new surroundings with her husband, Scott Sveslosky, and her son from a previous marriage.

“You can’t go a block without hitting a church,” she said. “It’s such a faith-based community here…Christianity is not what I thought it was.”

McKellar recognizes God’s design for the Christian life—being in relationship with him and with others. The Christian community has become vital to McKellar and her family.
