Ep 950 | Candace Cameron Bure on Body Image, Motherhood & Battling Backlash

Today we’re joined by multitalented actress and producer Candace Cameron Bure to share about her journey from breaking out in Hollywood to giving her life to Christ. Candace shares the details of landing the role of D.J. Tanner on "Full House" and how the show became beloved by audiences. She shares her faith journey, from first deciding to believe in God to years later really committing her life to a personal relationship with Jesus. Candace shares the sweet story of how she met her husband and offers some tips on motherhood, as well as how she navigates unrealistic beauty standards in an industry that makes body image central. We also discuss the backlash that she’s received from speaking about her beliefs and why she believes that being an authentic believer in Christ is more important than the negative feedback.
