"…my faith is incredibly important, which flows into every aspect of my life." –Candace Cameron Bure

When it comes to family-oriented sitcoms, brother and sister, Kirk Cameron and Candace Cameron Bure both enjoyed some significant limelight through the shows they starred in; "Growing Pains" and "Full House."

Kirk's career took him beyond TV to the big screen in several Christian-based movies, such as "Left Behind" and "Fireproof." And while Kirk's active Christian ministry has taken the forefront in latter years, his sister says she shares her brother's faith, but that she has other ways of showing it.

"…my faith is incredibly important, which flows into every aspect of my life," explained Candace in an interview. She noted that her faith also affects "the decisions that I make on acting. I want to focus on great family programming and good movies and the charitable organizations that I'm involved with." (Photo: Twitter/Candace Cameron)

Cameron Bure (who is now a wife and mother) added that while her brother Kirk's focus is on his own evangelistic series; she and Kirk have a "different style of saying some of those things," but that he is more ministry-oriented.

"I think Kirk does his stuff great and . . . really well, and I think what I do, I do well. And we're a great brother and sister," said Candace.

In August, Candace Cameron Bure tweeted a photo with her son eating lunch at Chick-fil-A, as a support to the fast-food company that had been under attack for their family-oriented policies. "We love chikin!" read the photo caption on her tweet.
