Picture actor Kirk Cameron in the passenger seat of his manager’s black BMW 530i as it cuts its way through the streets of Hollywood.
It’s Tuesday morning there but already afternoon in Jacksonville, where a Times-Union reporter is quizzing Cameron, whom millions remember as the adorable and witty Mike Seaver on “Growing Pains,” about a marriage seminar he will be leading on Sunday at First Baptist Church in Orange Park.

But it’s about how you view the gospel. … I think you need to be full throttle with the gospel all the time. … But God never puts a cross in the sky; he puts a rainbow or a sunset. All those things point to the gospel and can be starting points for a conversation about the cross. So I’m saying both.
