Candid Candace
Many of us will remember Candace Cameron Bure from ABC's hit television series, Full House, where we affectionately knew her as "D.J. Tanner." With an acting career that started at the age of five, Candace appeared in commercials, prime-time hits, and critically acclaimed television movies, working with actors such as Sally Field and Tom Hanks.
After Candace married NHL star Valeri Bure, she put her career on ice for a while in order to stay home and raise a full house of her own. Happily married for over 12 years, this mother of three is playing a new role—one she wouldn’t trade for the world.
Devoted to her husband and children, she is a role model to young women everywhere. Candace’s testimony is one of growing up in Hollywood, while growing in faith with God. Her passions include family, faith, and story time with her adorable audience of three.
The heart that Candace has for people is reflected in her everyday life as well as through her involvement in charities such as the Make a Wish and Starlight Foundations. With charisma that lights up a room, Candace shines light on hope, and reminds us that the role of wife and motherhood is one to be desired.
She is a speaker for various churches, colleges and outreach events, as well as a monthly columnist here at Christian Women Online Magazine, with her monthly column, "Candid Candace: The Q's & A's on Growing with God."

I really enjoy reading your advice column at CWO. What a wonderful resource. Thank you for being the God-centered, Christ-loving woman that you are!
I too, am a mother of 3 young children. Between Bible study, homeschooling and caring for my home and husband, I struggle to find the time to exercise and eat properly. I wondered what your secret was to being so slim and healthy?

I have read some of your advice articles at CWO and was wondering if you could share some of your insights regarding my situation.
I truly embraced my heart for the Lord around age 23. I started going to an evangelical church and was surrounded by some of the most genuine people I have ever met. I met my husband there and we were constantly serving at the church or spending time in small group or worshipping. Just before we were married in 2004, we moved for work… Read More

I am a young, Christian woman. Finding out that you were a Christian uplifted my spirits, like you wouldn’t believe!
Your role in the new movie “The Wager” is one of a seductive actress called Cassandra. And in one of your previous Q’s & A’s, you listed the questions that you ask yourself before you accept or receive a job.
One of the questions was this, “Will the new job be pleasing to God, and will it glorify Him?”
I asked myself, “How can this be pleasing to God?” The movie hasn’t… Read More

I saw you on TBN the other day (with your brother Kirk) and decided that I would see what I could find out about your acting career. I was excited when I saw you had a spot for Acting Advice, but was disappointed that it is still under construction. As of last December (through an amazing sequence of events) it seems that God is calling our 17-year-old daughter, Heather, into acting–at least for now. We are committed to helping her pursue this training and experience

Hi Candace. I’m from Indonesia. I remember that I liked to watch Full House when I was a kid, and now I’m 27 years old.
I was surprised when I Googled your name and found out that you are Christian, and that you have a website that shares your experience with God.
I want to ask you a question, what do you think about sex before marriage? Is it a sin? Please tell me your opinion about this. Thank you.

Hi Candace! I just read the weight-loss question you answered, and wondered, what did you mean by “giving your food issues up to God”?
I am a married mother of four and I am having such a hard time! (I am on Weight Watchers)

By “food issues” I meant some unhealthy eating habits I’d acquired in the past. For me, the only way to get past my abuse with food was getting serious about it with… Read More

Hi Candace! I just wanted to ask you for suggestions. I have a 13-year-old daughter that I think refuses to get saved. The rest of our family–being a 16-year-old sister, a 14-year-old sister, a 12-year-old brother, mom and myself–all profess CHRIST as our savior. We all go to church and all the kids are active in youth group.
My oldest daughter and my wife try to talk to my 13-year-old about being saved, and she won’t say anything. Youth leaders and other teens in the youth

I would just like to say that your ‘test’ is an absolute disgrace. [Referring to "The Good Person Test" available at Way of the Master]
Could you imagine a child looking up his or her favorite “Full House” actress, taking that test, and being frightened to her soul that she will suffer in Hell?
Children don’t understand the terminology used in this horrid test, Candace. You were a child star; you must understand that your fans are children. Children are still seeing reruns of your

I just read about your brothers website on Yahoo–a ministry of some kind. I read it, out of curiosity and then decided to see if you also believed as Kirk does.
I was wondering–and excuse my stupidity here–but what makes you desire to live the way you are now, compared to the riches of your TV status? What does God give you, in life, that’s better than what you have with television and movies and such?
As I was watching on the Internet of your brothers… Read More

First off I just want to say what a true blessing you and this magazine are to me! So thank you so much for your time and great words!
Lately it seems like I have a hard time letting go of the sins I have committed in the past. I know I have been forgiven due to asking God for forgiveness and basically saying that I am sorry, but I still think about things I have done, and it brings me to tears sometimes.
I re-dedicated
