The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast

Can the lies we believe quietly shape the direction of our lives? In this episode of The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, Candace and her co-host Madison Prewett Trout open with a listener question about dating in your mid-30s—and quickly uncover a deeper conversation about identity, honesty, and spiritual freedom.

From navigating singleness without shame to recognizing the subtle lies that keep us feeling stuck, Candace and Madi explore how the enemy works—not creatively, but consistently—running the same playbook again and again. Madi shares a powerful personal story about an unseen gas leak in her home that became a metaphor for the hidden beliefs slowly draining our spiritual health. Candace reflects on seasons of feeling stuck in marriage, family life, and faith, and why honesty is often the first step toward healing.

Together, they unpack the three original lies from Genesis that still surface today: questioning God’s truth, minimizing sin, and believing we can find life apart from Him. This episode offers practical wisdom for identifying lies, replacing them with truth, and inviting trusted community into the process—so we can move forward in freedom.

The conversation wraps with a listener question about staying spiritually grounded while training for a fitness competition, reminding us that our worth is never tied to performance, appearance, or achievement—but to who we are in Christ.

What happens when God opens a door that makes absolutely no sense—and you feel peace anyway? Candace sits down with Madi to kick off a brand-new season centered on living an honest life. The conversation begins with the surprising story of how Madi ended up on The Bachelor without ever applying, then moves into the deeper heart of the season: trading performance for a genuine relationship with Jesus, deciding convictions before pressure hits, and discovering why truth and freedom are inseparably linked.

Madi reflects on living under intense scrutiny, staying grounded in faith through isolation and trauma, and why her book Dare to Be True focuses not just on getting free—but staying free.

The episode closes with a listener question from Tori about being married to a non-believer and how to respond with wisdom, humility, and Christlike conduct.
