Born Again Christian Melissa Joan Hart Makes a Mark in Hollywood
Hart was raised in a Catholic family. She and Mark Wilkerson, her husband, who was a Baptist, decided to attend a Presbyterian church after they wed.
Hart told the Christian Post about a time that transformed her own prayer life. Hart was a young mom at the time, and another mother in her mom’s group was in a coma due to an aneurysm. Hart and other moms in the group prayed around the clock.
“I feel like that’s the moment that really opened up my prayer life. I had a big moment there where my prayer life changed and where I started to understand more about how to pray and then my husband also helped me,” Hart said. “My husband taught me to pray for mercy.”
Hart rose to stardom as the lead in “Sabrina the Teenage Witch.” Since then, she has acted in dozens of television shows and films, including the Christmas movies, “Mistletoe in Montana” and “Christmas in Tune.” The actor also enjoys work behind the camera as a director (“iCarly,” “Young Sheldon”) and producing (including “Broadcasting Christmas,” “The Watcher in the Woods”).
