Candace Cameron Bure says choosing her faith over everything has had “consequences,” but she wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I have had many seasons in my life where I’ve chosen God’s Word over what culture was offering me, and it has cost me things,” the FULL HOUSE actress said while speaking at the America Reads the Bible event. “I am sure it has cost you something. It has cost opportunities and relationships, and there have been very real consequences.”

Bure continued, “But what got me through those moments? I kept asking myself: Do those things matter more than my relationship with God? And the answer has always been, ‘no’ — I’m going to stand before God on Judgment Day, not anybody else…I will choose Him every single time. I know that obedience is absolutely worth it.”

The actress has been open about her experiences with “cancel culture.” In a 2025 episode of “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast,” she shared, “In 2022 and 2023, it was a really hard year for me because of some things with work and movie networks and a lot of things. Bad things were said about me that just weren’t true and headlines that were made up.”

“It wasn’t just about what people were saying, but it resulted in contract losses and partnerships that dissolved and went away and friendships that just disappeared,” Bure continued. “It just felt like it wasn’t going to end. I felt like I was on a witness stand for a year, and it felt awful.”

Bure took comfort in James 1:2-3, as well as the Parable of the Talents in the book of Matthew.

“I thought, ‘Well, what am I going to do? Am I going to cower? Am I going to let all of these people or cancel culture just take me down?” she recalled. “What am I going to do? I’m going to pick myself up, and I’m going to trust you, Lord, that you’ve got my back, and I’m going to take one step at a time … however it looks and however long it takes. But I’m going to keep walking with you, hand in hand, God, because the enemy is not going to win, and he’s not going to win over my life, and I’m set in that, I know that and I’m not going to let him take me down. I trust God too much.”

While speaking to ChurchLeaders in 2025, Bure explained that, despite her job in the entertainment industry, she is performing for “an audience of one.”

“While it’s a beautiful thing to receive praise from people, there’s nothing that fills my cup more than God. And that’s who I want to rely on for my ultimate praise, is not anybody else,” she said.

Bure has faced backlash for her religious beliefs, but she continues to stand strong in her faith.
