Actor and producer Candace Cameron Bure turned to 1 Peter 3:1 early in her marriage when she had dedicated her life to Jesus but her husband, Valeri, was not interested in hearing about God. Bure discussed her story in a recent episode of “The JWLKRS Podcast” hosted by Allie Schnacky.
“Unlike you and Austin,” Bure told Schnacky, “Val and I didn’t talk about God when we met.” Bure and Valeri were already engaged when she realized they had “never talked about our religious beliefs.” So while they were in the car one day, she asked, “Hey, you believe in God, right?”
“Why are you asking me that?” he replied.
“No, no, no, you believe in God, like, you believe in Jesus, right?” she persisted, to which he said, “What if I don’t?”
“Wait, just tell me, you do, right?” she asked. “You do. Like, don’t freak me out. You do believe that Jesus is God, right?” And he said, “Yes, I do.”
“Okay, we’re good,” she answered. And that was “all we ever talked about God” before getting married, said Bure.

“The JWLKRS Podcast” was started in April 2024 as a ministry of the music collective JWLKRS Worship. Its purpose is to “navigate the pathways of life through a lens of God’s Truth, diving into the depths of the Bible and getting real” by discussing people’s “personal experiences and struggles.”
Candace Cameron Bure is known for starring in the 90s sitcom “Full House” and the 2016-2020 spinoff, “Fuller House,” as well as numerous Hallmark movies. In 2022 she announced she had left the Hallmark Channel and signed with Great American Family, where she serves as chief creative officer and continues to star in various films.
Bure shared details about her faith journey that some of her fans might find surprising, given that she is a committed, outspoken Christian. For example, the actor said that she did not grow up in a Christian family. Her mother was a Christian, but her father was not. Bure said her family started attending church regularly when she was 12 years old and her parents were considering a divorce.
