Actress Shae Robins stars in family-friendly movies for one simple reason: she wants to be a light to others.
“I’m a mom now. I have two little girls, a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, and they’re going to grow up watching me,” Robins told Crosswalk Headlines. “I am their example. I am setting that example for them, and I want to make content that they can be proud of, that I can be proud of.”
Philippians 4:8 says, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Actors who create wholesome content help us as viewers focus on the topics God wants at the forefront of our minds.
Robins continued, “There’s enough negativity and things going on in the world. I think people right now are desperately seeking peace, goodness and faith. I’m just grateful for a platform that I can be part of to help spread the light of Christ.”
This desire to spread light has led the actress to star in uplifting movies such as A CHRISTMAS PRAYER, BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE and DESTINED AT CHRISTMAS.
“God had a big hand in how I got started in rom-coms,” she said. “I was part of the union and was kind of ready to make that decision, but I got married at a young age, at 21, and my husband had a great, stable career.”
She added, “It just felt like either he would have to give up his dreams and our stability or I would be giving up mine, and so it was a wrestle internally with God.”
Robins explained that through prayer, she trusted God with her future, and amazing things happened.
“I was just talking to God about just life. It wasn’t about my career or anything specifically, and – out of nowhere – I felt this overwhelming confirmation and peace that New York wasn’t right for me right now,” she recalled. “And yet in that moment, I felt God giving me the peace and comfort that I needed to be able to let go of that identity that I had so clung to. I was like, ‘Okay, God, you’re in charge.’ And then from there on, everything just kind of seemed to fall in place.”
She added, “I’m so grateful to have been a part of it.”
Robins accepted Movieguide®’s Epiphany Award earlier this year for A CHRISTMAS PRAYER.
“On behalf of the entire cast and crew of A CHRISTMAS PRAYER, Shae Robins accepts the revered Epiphany Prize for Most Inspiring TV / Streaming at the 33rd Annual @movieguide Awards!” Great American Family celebrated on Instagram.
She was also nominated for the Grace Award for Streaming for her role in the movie.
Robins truly practices what she preaches!
