Bridgette Cameron Ridenour's Freedom Story!
In today's episode, I sit down with my new friend, Bridgette Cameron Ridenour, author of Overlooked and sister to Kirk Cameron and Candace Cameron Bure. Bridgette shares her personal journey of navigating the feelings of being unseen and how she discovered her unique path through faith and trust in God's plan for her life. Growing up in a family where performance and the entertainment industry were significant aspects of life, Bridgette faced moments of disappointment early on. A defining moment came when she was not chosen for a role she felt perfect for, leading her to question the purpose of her gifts and talents. However, Bridgette's story took a turn when she met her husband shortly after that audition. Her subsequent journey into motherhood and a terrifying accident on their way to the K-LOVE awards in 2015 further shaped her understanding of God's presence and plans in her life. Through these experiences, Bridgette was reminded of the truth in Jeremiah 29:11, which reassured her that she was never overlooked by God. Today, Bridgette travels the country, speaking at women's conferences and sharing her story through her book, Overlooked. Her message is a testament to the power of faith and the importance of trusting in God's timing. Bridgette encourages listeners to embrace waiting as an opportunity to draw closer to God rather than solely focusing on the outcome. She also speaks on the significance of celebrating others' successes, emphasizing that a "no" for now is not a "no" forever. This episode is filled with heartfelt insights and encouragement for anyone feeling overlooked or questioning their path. Bridgette's journey teaches us that when we let go and let God lead, amazing transformations can occur in our lives. Bio: Bridgette is no stranger to the entertainment industry. Since the age of 8, she has grown up in Hollywood. She is the sister to Kirk Cameron ("Growing Pains") and Candace Cameron Bure ("Full House"). Bridgette made a successful career as a stand-in for 20 years working with some of Hollywood's biggest child stars. Her career expands television shows like "Full House" and "Home Improvement," as well as motion pictures such as "Saving Christmas", "Wild America", "Perfect Game". and "The Crew", just to name a few. Bridgette lives in Palm Springs, California with her husband and three children.

Drawing inspiration from biblical narratives, including Jesus’ encounter with Mary and Martha after Lazarus’s death, Karen reflects on the raw honesty of wrestling with faith amidst pain and doubt. Through her journey, she discovers the transformative power of believing even in the midst of unbelief, and the profound truth that God sees our pain and walks with us through it.
