I Saw The Light: Celebs Who Left The Entertainment Industry Behind For Jesus
Kirk Cameron
After major success on Growing Pains, Kirk Cameron became a born-again Christian at the age of 17 after years of being an atheist. He would ask that things be removed from the script for his TV character that he felt went against his faith, and once the show ended, he became engrossed in evangelism. To this day, Cameron trains other Christians in evangelism. He did, however, cause major controversy in 2012 when he went on the Piers Morgan Show, saying that homosexuality is “unnatural, detrimental and ultimately destructive to foundations of civilization.” He received backlash from former Growing Pains castmates and quite a few other people, but never retreated from his statements.
