Actress Danica McKellar recently revealed the lessons she learned after reading the entire Bible in a year, sharing how she “really enjoyed it” and was left feeling deeply comforted.

“For me, reading the Bible, I just have to say, I felt so comforted,” McKellar said. “And oddly so, even during the chapters like getting through Job, you know, and the poor guy, he’s suffering and his friends are like, ‘Yeah, well, it’s probably your fault. It’s something you did.’”

Despite those challenging moments, “The Wonder Years” star said she still found comfort in Scripture.

To help guide her reading, McKellar used “The Bible Recap” to go through the Bible chronologically. Ultimately, she said, humility is one of the most important themes in the biblical narrative. “From the human’s point of view, it feels like the lesson we’re supposed to learn is about ego versus humility and the way to live our lives in humility. And it doesn’t mean that anything is being taken away. Just the opposite,” she explained.

In fact, she sees humility as the ultimate reward. “If I can get in touch with humility … God floods in, and it just feels amazing,” she shared. She added that the Bible warns against following the wrong things and encourages a life based on total humility.

For McKellar, finding faith has enriched her life, and she wants to share that experience with others. “When you experience something that is so beautiful and so wonderful and so life-changing, you want everyone to feel that,” she said. She has been open about her journey and her willingness to discuss her beliefs, saying it doesn’t feel like a bold or courageous act. She just wants others to experience the same blessings she has found.

McKellar has been very open about her faith journey, embracing Christianity and sharing her experience. The actress, who grew up around religion, says she only experienced the negative side of it. “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, and control throughout history, and that had definitely biased me,” she explained. “Anything powerful we use and corrupt it from time to time. And so that was my association with it, and I was missing out on all the amazing, beautiful stuff. Like all the good stuff. I wasn’t open-minded to it before.”

“I feel so blessed… people have said, ‘Oh, you are so bold,’” McKellar said of her willingness to discuss her beliefs. “It doesn’t feel like bold. It doesn’t feel like it requires courage or anything… When you experience something that is so beautiful and so wonderful and so life-changing, you want everyone to feel that.”
