Child star Melissa Joan Hart will soon star in the highly-anticipated faith-based film "God's Not Dead 2" as a high school teacher who is not afraid to share her Christian faith. Just like her on-screen persona, Hart is not going to shy away either when people ask her about her beliefs.

During an interview with Fox News, Hart admitted that it can get difficult for Christians to share their beliefs nowadays because people find fault in everything.

"You know, it can be a little scary sometimes to say anything. These days, it's a talent to be politically correct," she said. "I find that as long as I don't care what other people think and I stand by my values, it doesn't matter what other people say. People are going to argue with me no matter if I say something controversial or not. I'm going to ignore them because I have every right to say what I want to say and put out there what I feel. I don't judge others and I'm definitely not trying to hurt anyone's feelings."

"As far as my faith, I think it is important to share that those are my values and I'm going to use them to guide me through life and I'm not going to steer away from it. It's part of who I am," she said.

Aside from acting, Hart is busy juggling tons of things such as motherhood (she has three boys), a clothing line, and a challenging fitness regimen. But Hart said she has managed to find the right balance in all of her commitments.

"Well, now that (the show) 'Melissa and Joey' is over, I have more time to focus on my kids. They're in school in the morning so that's when I get to do other stuff like (my clothing line) King of Harts, that's been a passion project of mine to put cool clothes on kids," she shared.
