Teddy Bear Award® winner Candace Cameron Bure shared how she recognized it’s important to go through life together with other Christians.
“It was with a friend of mine, and she was going through a really hard time,” she recalled on her podcast. “So much so that she didn’t want to talk or share about anything. She was really becoming reclusive.”
“And I kept pushing, and she just kept saying ‘You know, I feel like it’s not anyone else’s problem, and I feel like I’m just adding on, and I don’t want people to feel sorry for me ,and it just makes me feel even worse about myself that I would share any of my problems,’” Bure recalled. “’I can just talk to God about it.’”
“I’m like, ‘But that’s what community is for. That’s what I’m here for,’” Bure said.
Bure told her that by over-burdening herself, she isn’t allowing God to work through others.

“You’re denying God’s hands and feet…it’s not a burden,” she said. “It allows me to do what I can do for you when I know I can’t tangibly fix anything for you but I can be praying for you and asking God to be over the things that you’re going through, that makes me feel good and I’m not trying to be selfish about it, but please ask for it.”
“We were never meant to carry it all alone.🫶🏼” Bure captioned in a clip of the podcast. “Joy and strength are always within reach.🙌🏼 We’re in this together!”
Her recent podcast series covered the topic of body theology. Bure talked about God’s view of bodies and her own trauma as a bulimic and experience with panic attacks.
She recalled visiting New York after she had left THE VIEW, which she filmed in New York. She was very stressed and overwhelmed during her time on the show, and most of her memories from the experience aren’t positive. When she visited New York later, she had a panic attack in her taxi and didn’t understand why.
She realized it was because her body recognized that she was in a place that previously gave it stress.
“It was like what is happening?” she recalled. “I was panicking.”
In another episode, she explained that she applies the 1 Corinthians passage about bodies being a temple to exercise and eating healthy foods.
It took her a while to realize “the Holy Spirit dwells inside of me,” she added. “Like, that’s the temple part.”
Bure releases a new podcast episode on YouTube and podcast outlets every Tuesday.
