From Candace Cameron Bure to Karen Abercrombie and Ashley Bratcher, these Christian actresses are inspirational both on and off-screen. Let's explore:

Candace Cameron Bure

Candace Cameron Bure, star of "Full House" and "Fuller House," is one of the most popular actresses around. Interestingly, Bure is a devout Christian who regularly shares her faith.

"When I think of my purpose, I'm thinking about my life purpose. My life purpose as a Christian is to glorify God in all I do," she said during a recent interview. "I wasn't put on the earth to be the best actress I can be. My purpose is to glorify God, but God gave me a talent and I get to use those talents ... to produce content that can turn back and glorify God."

Karen Abercrombie

"War Room" star Karen Abercrombie is another powerful force among Christian actors and actress who deserves some praise. Abercrombie burst onto the scene when she starred in the 2015 hit film "War Room," portraying Miss Clara, an octogenarian with a deep passion and desire for the Lord.

But Abercrombie has long been a performer — and a Christian. She accepted Christ when she was 7 years old, but later drifted away. In the end, she told Pure Flix that she came back to her faith. Now, she's a fixture in Christian films.

"Even all of the time I was out there, I could feel the presence of God there, because I had left. It didn't mean He had," the actress said. "He never does — He's the same yesterday, today and forever. He never leaves us nor forsakes us, so all I had to do was turn back around in His direction ... He was always surrounding me."

Read Abercrombie's powerful story of life change, transformation and faith-inspired performing. And watch her on Pure Flix today, starring in movies like "Discarded Things" and "God's Compass."

Ashley Bratcher

Ashley Bratcher is yet another of the Christian actresses we'll feature in this list. Bratcher shared her faith journey as well as her journey into Hollywood during past interviews with Pure Flix, noting that she once had a "love-hate relationship" with God.

But, over time, Bratcher came into deeper faith, and began to perform in faith-inspiring movies and TV shows.

"I had this love-hate relationship with God," she said of her teen years. "It wasn't until years later when my son was born that I realized what relationship looked like versus religion."

She continued, "If I can love my child so, so much who I just met, how much more must a heavenly father who created the universe love us?" Something clicked for Bratcher and she hasn't looked back. Be sure to watch her in an episode of "The Encounter," "Princess Cut" and "A Walk With Grace."

Shari Rigby

She's a former model and an actress who has been in a plethora of movies and TV shows. Some of her notable roles have been in "October Baby" and "Extraordinary," among many others (you can watch both movies on Pure Flix with a free trial today).
