Lev Bure, the son of \u201cFull House\u201d actress Candace Cameron Bure, has been on a powerful and unexpected journey toward preaching the Gospel.<\/p>\n
In a recent interview with CBN News, Bure shared how God called him to share Scripture, and why he believes revival is happening among young people today.<\/p>\n
Bure, 26, said the roots of his interest in preaching came from the church where he grew up attending.<\/p>\n
Listen to the latest\u00a0episode\u00a0of \u201cQuick Start\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI grew up with going to church in Shepherd of the Hills Church in Los Angeles \u2026 [with] Pastor Dudley Rutherford,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd they kind of curated this really cool weekend where he had the idea on a Sunday service to gather three, four, five young preachers, young individuals and kind of split up this Sunday sermon.\u201d<\/p>\n At the time, he was 19 and ended up throwing his hat in the ring. While Bure said he\u2019s not one to take \u201ccrazy chances\u201d on his own, he said he has no problem jumping into the mix if he\u2019s invited.<\/p>\n \u201cSo that was my first opportunity to kind of be in the pulpit with four other young communicators and \u2026 preach at a church and for a few services,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that was kind of the start of it.\u201d<\/p>\n Bure said he has since been fortunate to have other opportunities to preach and share the Gospel. He believes it\u2019s a \u201cgreat privilege\u201d to share God\u2019s Word and always seeks to do so with diligence and truth.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all \u2026 get to be part of God\u2019s mission to glorify Him and make Him known to the world,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd we all get to do that, and millions of different ways, and I\u2019m thankful that \u2026 this is a way that God\u2019s allowed me to kind of be part of His mission, and I really enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n Bure said he\u2019s not trying to forecast a vision for the future, but that he has enjoyed the opportunity to preach the Gospel from the pulpit \u2014 and he\u2019s excited for what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n \u201cIf it\u2019s something that He would grace me with and continue to in the future, absolutely,\u201d Bure said of preaching. \u201cIt\u2019s something I would love to pursue, I love to do, and I have a heart for it.\u201d<\/p>\n Like many preachers, Bure relies on prayer and fasting before preparing and delivering a message. Ultimately, through many tools, he seeks God\u2019s heart for each sermon.<\/p>\n \u201cI kind of put myself in a place to be intimate with Him and really just try and receive what He would have,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd \u2026 He speaks to me in a lot of different ways through the timing of things, through just the conviction that\u2019s put on my heart, through what I hear the congregation is learning about or interested in.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to Bure\u2019s home church, his faith was deeply shaped by his parents, Candace Cameron Bure and her husband, Valeri Bure \u2014 two figures whose love for Jesus shone brightly in his life.<\/p>\n \u201cI always think about \u2026 if I didn\u2019t grow up in a home where my parents loved Jesus, like what would my life look like?\u201d Bure said. \u201cHow would I be introduced to Christ? And it\u2019s something I contemplate, but at the same time, something I sit in just so much gratitude that, again, I\u2019ve been blessed enough to be born into a family where two parents love Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n Bure said his parents\u2019 faith allowed him to be introduced to Christ at an early age, learning powerful lessons along the way.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the biggest lessons that I learned from my parents personally growing up were really, I would say, just an intimacy for Christ is the biggest thing,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been so blessed to learn from them in a lot of different ways, but when you break it down, it comes to an abiding and intimate relationship with Jesus, and as long as that foundation is there, all else fails flows from it, and so to see that modeled from a young age is probably the most influential thing that my parents gave to myself and my siblings.\u201d<\/p>\n Bure\u2019s interest in preaching comes as his generation shows increased curiosity about Christianity and the Bible. Reflecting on the many headlines about young people flocking to baptism and faith, Bure called the developments \u201cabsolutely remarkable.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFirst of all, praise God for it all,\u201d he said, noting that the younger generation is realizing that instant gratification simply won\u2019t satisfy the human heart and mind. \u201cI think, slowly \u2026 the younger generation is starting to feel the reality of this God-sized hole that\u2019s in their lives, where everything that we think will gratify our desires, our greatest wishes, whether that\u2019s through\u2026 you know social media, or money, or career, whatever you want to call it \u2014I think slowly you\u2019re finding that, at the end of the day, we still feel empty inside.\u201d<\/p>\n He believes the truth of Christ then becomes increasingly evident to many people facing this scenario. And Bure wants to be a conduit to helping people discover that eternal truth.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m passionate about people knowing Jesus, and I\u2019m passionate about being part of that mission,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it\u2019s why we as believers, we\u2019re here \u2026 to glorify God and make Him known,\u201d Bure said. \u201cAnd so, realistically, I think I\u2019ve gotten to be part of that a little bit and through communicating His word, and so I\u2019d love to see that grow.\u201d<\/p>\n *** AI tools threaten to hide CBN News from your online searches!
