LOS ANGELES – Melissa Joan Hart, the lovable star of sitcoms like “Clarissa Explains It All” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” is headed to the big screen with her newest movie “God’s Not Dead 2.”
The mom of three told FOX411 how faith and politics are subjects that we can’t shy away from.
“You can’t cower away from certain things,” she said. “I feel like a lot of people don’t like the controversy. They don’t like to discuss [religion]. They don’t like to debate; I love that stuff. If it wasn't for the fact that my family was under a close scrutiny I would probably want to run for [political office] someday or something. I am always the one at dinner parties where people are like ‘don't talk about religion or politics’ and I’m like ‘can we please talk about religion or politics?’ I love debating and I love hearing other perspectives on everything.”
The 39-year-old star also teaches the importance of prayer to her sons as she herself learns more about her faith from her Bible study.
“I think [prayer is] really important; I just read recently a scientific study on prayer how people that do pray and pray avidly tend to have more peace of mind,” she said. “I always believed in God… I always understood Jesus and believed in him but then questioned a lot about Jesus. I finally realized I do believe in Jesus as my Lord and Savior. But recently I discovered the Holy Spirit and I think it’s so funny now when people find this ‘meditation’— which I think is prayer— they think they have an intuition and I’m like that’s The Holy Spirit!”
