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.
