Candace Cameron Bure Wants Moms to See Beauty in Parenting
By Movieguide® Contributor
Candace Cameron Bure is helping moms confidently step into motherhood with God’s help.
Bure told Dr. Josh and Christi Straub about how, as a young mom, she struggled with balancing motherhood with other aspects of her life.
“I had been selfish my whole life. I’d only thought about myself. My career, my marriage, my, my everything. And now I’m like, I have a child and now my child comes first,” she explained.
Josh chimed in, saying, “As our kids get older, we want to help them find who they are, What’s God created them to be, who’s he created, what’s their gifts? What’s their strengths, what’s their talents? And then yet here we are, and I’m hearing you two as moms wrestling, and I see this all the time, wrestling with your own identity.”
Straub explained how even when we are doing what God has asked us to do, it can still feel new and uncomfortable.
“It’s like, oh my goodness, this is what God’s called me to do, and I’ve been doing it, but now I’m sitting here, and I’m hidden, and I don’t feel seen. And I think having the confidence of stepping in and realizing this is a beautiful role. This is a, I mean, we’re shepherding the hearts of children,” he added.
In a world with so much darkness, Straub says instead of overprotecting our children, we need to prepare them to handle what they’re going to face.
“They’re going to step out into the world, and they’re going to be met with all kinds of stuff flying at them. And I want them to be resilient. I want them to be able. So, if we’re protecting them, that’s not, that’s actually not safe for my children,” he explained. “What’s safe for my children is that they learn to be emotionally resilient. That they learn to be able to tackle all of the stuff that’s coming at them in the world around them.”
The Straubs head Famous At Home, “a company equipping leaders, organizations, military families, and churches in emotional intelligence and family wellness.”
“Together, they host the weekly Famous at Home podcast, have published five children’s books including What Am I Feeling? and their latest book for families called ‘Famous at Home,'” Bure posted.
