What if the thing holding you back isn’t a circumstance—but a belief?
On this episode of The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, Candace Cameron Bure and co-host Madi Prewett Trout begin with a practical listener question about dating in your mid-30s. But the conversation quickly unfolds into something deeper: how subtle lies—about our worth, our timing, and even God Himself—can quietly keep us stuck.
Madi reminds listeners that singleness is not a waiting room for real life. Scripture tells us it’s a season of undivided devotion to Jesus, not a lesser calling. Candace adds that in today’s digital world, human connection often takes a back seat—and choosing courage, presence, and honesty matters more than ever.
The heart of the episode centers on spiritual awareness. Madi shares a striking story about discovering a hidden gas leak in her home—an unseen danger that was slowly making her sick. The metaphor is clear: many of us live with unaddressed lies or sins that quietly drain our spiritual vitality. Left unchecked, they keep us from the fullness of life Jesus offers.
Candace and Madi walk through the same three lies the enemy has used since Genesis: questioning God’s truth, downplaying sin, and promising fulfillment apart from Him. The enemy may be cunning, but he’s not creative—and recognizing his patterns gives us power to respond differently.
The episode closes with encouragement for those pursuing big goals—like a listener training for a fitness competition—to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus. Whether in dating, marriage, career, or personal growth, our worth is never tied to outcomes or appearances. Christ is the prize.
