DANICA MCKELLAR IS READING THE OLD TESTAMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME A YEAR AFTER
TRUSTING IN JESUS

Danica McKellar, who is known for playing Kevin Arnold’s love interest, Winnie
Cooper, on “The Wonder Years,” is reading through the Bible and says she is “on
track” to finish it this year. As part of her new “Bits of Joy” series for the
Great American Family channel, McKellar shared she was especially impressed by
the story of Joseph in Genesis. 

“I’ve been reading the Bible, and I’m on track to finish the Bible this year,”
said McKellar in an April 16 episode titled “Bible Bits: Joseph’s Story.” “Very
excited.”



“This is the first time I’ve read the Bible,” the actress continued. “And I had
read the gospels before, but never the Old Testament, and I’m starting from the
beginning.” She is in Leviticus now, which is “a little dry, but that’s ok…It’s
actually kind of fascinating when you feel like you’re in that world, and you
know what the materials look like, and what the food was. Anyway, it’s pretty
amazing.”


DANICA MCKELLAR: HOW JOSEPH’S LIFE IMPACTED HER

Danica McKellar is an author, mathematician and actress. In addition to
appearing alongside Fred Savage in “The Wonder Years,” she has appeared in “The
West Wing,” “How I Met Your Mother” and “The Big Bang Theory.”

In April 2022, McKellar revealed that she had come to trust in Jesus. “In my
life, starting in childhood, I had been made aware of all the hypocrisy in the
various religions of Christianity, it being used for evil, power & control
throughout history, and that had definitely biased me,” she said. “But that’s
just people, that doesn’t represent God’s actual love for us. And I can tell you
I’m experiencing a relationship with God and Jesus that I’ve never had before,
and it feels miraculous.”

After Tragic Loss

McKellar said that a turning point for her came when her “good friend,” Candace
Cameron Bure, gave her a Bible and invited her to church. In a Sept. 29 video
introducing her series, “Bits of Joy with Danica McKellar,” the actress said, “I
discovered my faith, Christianity, this year. When I say ‘discovered,’ I mean I
had been around it before, but it never really resonated.” When Bure invited her
to church, however, “I had a different experience.” 



McKellar’s episodes are featured in GAC Community, a new app that Hallmark
Channel competitor Great American Family launched in September. Both Bure and
McKellar recently left the Hallmark Channel for Great American Family.

In her “Bible Bits” episode, McKellar said she has been using The Bible Recap, a
podcast started by another friend of Bure’s, Tara-Leigh Cobble. Launched in
2019, The Bible Recap is a brief, daily podcast that follows a chronological
Bible reading plan. Participants read the Bible passage of the day and then
listen to the podcast episode, in which Cobble summarizes key points from the
passage and what the text reveals about the nature of God.
