Bridgette is a firecracker, best-selling author, speaker, mother of 4 and loves Jesus. Oh, and she’s the sister of Kirk and Candace Cameron.

In this episode on the Strong By Design podcast host Chris Wilson speaks to Bridgette Cameron, younger sister to superstar Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains, Fireproof, Left Behind) and the little ‘big’ sister of Candace Cameron Bure (Full House / Fuller House) and Melissa Fleming.

Have you ever wondered what life would be like with famous family members? Well, Bridgette had not just one famous sibling but two! Find out what growing up in a house with two famous child actors was like, the realization that God’s plan and our plan can look very different and that His plans for us are far better than our own.

Also be sure to check out Bridgette’s best-selling book ‘Overlooked’ on her website which shares her journey and recounts a terrifying, life-changing moment that brought her closer to God.

"I felt overlooked, like, 'God, did you forget about me? You created me, but you're not opening any doors for me’.” — Bridgette Cameron

Discover the transformative power of God’s Word with our special guest James Early.

James started an amazing bible ministry years ago that is reaching men and women who need it most, behind bars.

While many people in our society consider prisoners to be beyond help, it is clear in our conversation with James that God’s Word can work miracles anywhere it’s heard.

Please join us today for this heartwarming message about discipleship, courage and obedience hosted by Chris Wilson and Jared Haley. Plus, there is some fun storytelling about James and Chris’s ‘Connecticut Connection’ and Jared’s short stint in a Colorado prison.


"I've planted seeds, I've watered the seeds, but like the Bible says, 'God gives the increase'." — James Early
