I don't think that growing up in the entertainment industry is the healthiest place for kids. The track record kind of shows that.

My default position is not to be an actor. My default position is to be a follower of Jesus Christ. If that means I continue in acting, great! I'd love that. But if it means I need to change professions someday because I can't provide for my family, well, that's what I need to do.

I think my biggest problem was, as a celebrity on a TV show, you get an inflated ego and you think you're the center of the universe.

My wife - I married my onscreen girlfriend from 'Growing Pains', Mike Seaver's girlfriend, and we've been married for 17 years - so marriage is very important to us.

Jesus first of all, loves His Father in heaven and would never compromise the message that sinners must be delivered or be damned. That is the reason Jesus came to earth-to save sinners.

For me, my family and my faith have been what's really been my anchor, and grounding me, and helping me navigate through a lot of the things that really destroy marriages in Hollywood, and in your own personal integrity.

God is a God who has not given up on His people. If He wanted to give up, He would have given up back in the Garden of Eden.
