Living Authentically for Christ in Hollywood

- Lisa Whelchel was only 12 when she auditioned for the role of the Mouseketeer for Walt Disney "The New Mickey Mouse Club." However, most of us would remember Lisa as Blair Warner on NBC's "The Facts of Life". Lisa went on to author her first book, "Creative Correction", which was released October 2000, and many other books subsequently. Through all the fame and trials, her faith in Jesus was the one thing that kept her through and the one thing that she held onto.
I have admired Lisa for years, particularly after the episode she asked to be written out of. I loved FOL. When I was a teenager, 'Jo' was my favorite character-as she was for most watchers, I believe. But as I matured, and being a Christian, I came to have tremendous respect for Lisa. She has been steady as a rock all of these years; raising a family as a Christian wife and mother and never compromising her beliefs in Hollywood. She is a true role model to me, even now. God bless you Lisa!
Wonderful post! Agree with everything you said!!
some people are blessed to embody their message and make it more than a message, but a lifestyle. She can't help but share that beautiful light of God. God bless her
She’s beautiful and well spoken.
Time stood still for her
Interesting that the two prettiest women on tv have both been devout Christians; Lisa Whelchel and Donna Douglass. Both were terrific in their comedic roles and stayed true to their beliefs. I love that Lisa turned down the episode of her character losing her virginity. Bravo, Lisa, Bravo!
Can't forget about Candace Cameron Bure!
@@ItsMeMadisonH That's who I thought he was going to say.
I was waiting for her to have another one of her brilliant ideas!
Lol😂
Great interview. Lisa Whelcel is a wonderful gal. I love her testimony.
I've been a fan my entire life
AMEN. Thank you Lord for keeping her, covering her, guiding her, and providing her in the name of Jesus. We thank you Lord for blessing her with humility from you. Godly wisdom and knowledge that can only come from you in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord please continue to give her the strength, knowledge, and wisdom she need to move and operate like she need to in that industry. And please Lord let her be a light and example to others in the industry in the mighty name of Jesus. So, other stars only see and hear you when they see her in the name of Jesus. And they will be drawn into you and be saved in the mighty name of Jesus. We thank you for hearing, answering, and receiving this prayer in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen. Hallelujah. Lord we bless your name. We thank you for all things that you are doing and going to do in this season in advance in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
She was great on "Survivor." She actually was voted Fan Favorite.
She seems like a very nice person!
God bless you, Lisa Whelchel!!!!
Everything she say is so contextualized she really has the point when talking.
thats so beautiful i think she is a wonderful person who never got corrupt in Hollywood god bless her
she stayed girl next door!
That's what she wants you to believe.
Love your recent Hallmark movie performances!
She is fantastic. I hope she will do some more Hallmark movies.
She looks amazing for her age. So well spoken and poised. I loved her comment about how our heavenly Father was her parent and being raised by Him. Explains her grounded, blessed life. True woman of God. 🙏
Loved her and still do.....u go girl
I respect Lisa I'm also a new Christian and Lisa is a very smart Christian women and dosent need Hollywood amen
I'm a huge fan of Lisa whelchel she's great
Wonderful interview.
Love this lady.
I don't know why I didn't realize she was from Texas. She is representing Texas well. 💜💜💜💜
Beautiful lady, inside and out. I still listen to her Christian album 'All Because of You' & bought "Lessons My Father Taught Me" when it first came out. I still re-read it. I had no good role models as a kid, discovered her as an adult, a bit late, but her example set me on a better path. I loved her Christian blog & seeing a picture of her at Starbucks studying her Bible. I also discovered Stormie Omartian through her work. Thank you Lisa for being a wonderful role model for me & thank you 100 Huntley St. for sharing this interview.
I personally am glad to see that she is sensible with her Christianity. So many are are simply not. On her own in La? That young? She would have needed an enormous amount of courage. She would have been successful as Rachel in Friends a part she apparently turned down due to conflict of interest in lifestyle portrayal etc. And of course she has aged quite well. But really what does that matter she contributed to an excellent show that had a lot of message for young woman in a time when females simply were eyeliner and dolls on tv.. with only a peppering of true grit characters never mind "teens". God can get complicated as frankly so many people are sooo many faiths. I wonder if Welchel will ever do anything further in the performing arts?
She turned down the AUDITION..not the role. BIG difference
It was okay for her to turn down the role of Rachel on Friends for Jennifer Aniston to play her.
Lisa would never have thrived as a member of the Friends cast. That show was all about immorality and indecency from the start.
Amazing testimony!!!! Its amazing to see she didn't compromise
I'm really impressed that at such a young age, she chose to go to that church and she eventually chose to accept Jesus as her savior. She didn't have Christian parents encouraging her to take that way. I feel like that probably helped her continue to follow Christ through all of the experiences of Hollywood. She really saw something for herself. It wasn't as if she was from a churchgoing family and that she kind of became a believer by "default". Jesus was able to capture her directly.
outstanding woman -
kubos to you Lisa
still beautifull and soooo lovely
+Sebastián Ruiz I wonder if she has a fro
so true, beautiful inside and out.
She hasn't aged a day.
Ummm...yea, she has. That and gained some weight
JJ Thomas Yay! A douchebag!
No1 WonderFan No, just someone that has functioning eyes.. she was 16 in the series and is in her mid 50's now..BIG difference
I know she misses being in her 20's and 30's
I love you lisa❤❤❤❤❤❤
Faith and Hollywood👍👍👍
George flippin' the bird. I think Lisa noticed.
But why did she divorce her husband? She once praised him in her book.
And also don't forget The Best Celebrities to be both devout and Born Again Christian Baptist are Lisa Whelchel Candice Cameron Sting Chris Tucker Mister Tureaud Vader Leroux Chuck Norris Shawn Manshion Vader Kurt Angle Rock Chris Jericho Hulk Hogan Marero Jason David Frank Melissa Joan Hart Ted Dibiase Craig Beniot Jesse Mccartney and Eddie Guerrero
She reminds me of Britney Spears in the video ‘If you seek Amy’.
George Clooney looks like he is showing the Bird Finger in the picture...????
I expected that Christian women empowerment movement she ran/runs with to dump her after divorce. She is a beacon of hope for Christians CHOOSING to dump their spouses after many years. Ask her five years after the divorce if she would do it over.
With that said, I still want to have her baby
She treated her husband badly. Maybe he dumped her.
@@marygersten4236 I bet she wishes she could make things right with her Ex
she hasn't aged one bit!
blair is a wonderful person i liker a lot could i meet u in person some day. eileen
I'm kind of surprised she didn't mention her divorce in this interview as the Bible prohibits divorce except in certain cases.
Lisa recently got engaged to her boyfriend according to Instagram. I hope he's a Christian! I don't know why he wouldn't be since everyone knows she is.
My Comments isn't silly and Trump isn't The Anti Christ
@@blakenapier3125 Huh?
Good ole 100huntley lol
What show is this? The host keeps making uncomfortable pauses of silence. Shes not very eloquent. Lisa looks a little confused by her.
No. It must be that you are a part of the large segment of society who are desensitized by today's media and tv shows. Today's "interviews" and "shows" are just filled with people talking too fast, too much, too loud and all over the place so disorganized and ill-prepared.
If she didn't have any Daughters. I would date her
THE FACTS OF LIFE THEM TRAP REMIX: @
CLUB.
She made an R rated movie and played the girl who put out when she was 16!
Mary Gersten shit happens
..were not perfect.... Least she redemption herself
@@RedHeadThriller10 She needs to play Teenagers and Young Adults again in Shows and Movies
@@RedHeadThriller10 But she was setting an example, remember?
She should be a Donald Trump Supporter in order to be a full fledged christian by becoming a Die Hard
What movie was that?
Bottom line, it cost her a great career. I mean, if she is good with it, fine
My God she didn't age a bit!
She's full of it. God told her to marry her husband, then He told her to divorce him. Can't blame God for stuff like that.
What she said about her husband was that she thought it was God telling her to marry him, but she realized many years down the road that that feeling just came from herself. She didn't say that God told her to divorce him, though, from what I read. But yeah, her getting divorced does confuse me a bit because the Bible is against divorce...
That lady is a terrible interviewer!
This is an excellent interview, better than what we usually see on a clip like this. This has depth as offered by Lisa. There are special points being made here.
Don't talk about her like that.
Now, sadly, she's abandoned Christianity for New Age psycho-spiritualism, politically divisive comments on social media & a husband who engages in both also. I guess she gets more clicks that way.
She changes her story to fit her needs. Not very authentic at all.
How you figure?
I've watched her doing fitness?
Lisa, (at 4:50) I beg to differ!
You don't need to be a child star to be vulnerable to peer pressure on going down "that path" !! When I was in Jr. High & High School that junk was all around me too even living as a "nobody". So you are wrong there! A teen doesn't have to be a celeb to be pressured down the drug path! This crap is EVERYWHERE! Not just in Hollywood. And I'm telling you all this as a non-celeb in the REAL WORLD.................(Just F.Y.I.)
Funny...I didn't hear her saying that only child stars are vulnerable to peer pressure. She was merely sharing her own personal experience.
lisa Whelchel Talks just like Angela Watson from Step By Step. Who Plays Karen Foster that is also Similar to Blair Warner such as being Beautiful. Being Rich, Being Van, and Being Rebellious
