Candace Cameron Bure shares the unexpected way God shows up in her 'scariest moments'
In good times and bad, Candace Cameron Bure has always leaned on her faith.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the "Full House" alum, who released a new devotional, "100 Days of Joy and Strength: A Daily Devotional Journey" Tuesday, opened up about her personal journey of growth, shared the unexpected ways God has shown up for her and explained how her new book will offer guidance and encouragement to those seeking daily fulfillment.
"I am always amazed because He always shows up, and it's sometimes in unexpected ways," Bure said. "Sometimes it's the way I want Him to show up, and sometimes it's the way I was hoping He wouldn't show up, but He did."
"But what I've learned over the years in knowing Him and knowing His character is that He's always there, literally always there," she added. "So, sometimes, in the scariest moments, when I'm like, 'God, I need you with me. I need to feel your presence. Bring me through this.' And sometimes you want the win at the end, He brings you through, and you're like, 'Yes, I did it.'

"And sometimes you lose, sometimes you fail, but it's in those moments that I've realized, 'God, you were with me. You actually helped push me through, even if it ended up being a failure, even if I don't feel very courageous, and I feel like it just wasn't what I wanted it to be. The fact that I actually did it, I pushed through the fear, I had the courage, or I had the stamina to walk another step, that's because of You.'"
Bure, who has authored multiple books throughout her career, said her latest devotional is a "very practical, easy way to guide you into reminding you that you're not alone."
"It's literally a couple of minutes every day," Bure said. "So, it's like two little pages. There's a reflective story that I'll tell that's a personal story, either something that has happened in my life or something that I observed, and then there's a Bible verse that goes with it, and it applies to that Bible verse.
"Then there's a little prayer that you can say, you can read, you can repeat, you can add to it and that's it," she continued. "And it's just a couple of minutes every day to remind you to renew your mind, to connect with God and what His word says and remind you that He is your joy, that your joy comes from Him and He also is your strength."
"At the start of my day each and every day, if I don't ask God what he wants to do with me today, regardless of my plans, then I don't even know what I may miss, what God has in store for me."
"You don't have to do it alone," she added. "We can't do it alone because we're not really equipped, and we're not ever good enough, but God is. And so we can draw from His strength and, in turn, that gives us our joy."
The Great American Family star, who shares three children with husband Valeri Bure, said though she's a "doer," she has learned the importance of slowing down.
"I think age and wisdom has helped me slow down. And I'm not a slow person," she said. "But at the start of my day each and every day, if I don't ask God what he wants to do with me today, regardless of my plans, then I don't even know what I may miss, what God has in store for me.
"But if I'm so focused on my intention and my goals, I could miss something so wonderful or maybe even a detour that God has planned that could go a whole lot smoother than me just running into a brick wall, because God's going to get me where he wants me to go anyway," she continued.

"So, that's one of my practices every day is to say like, 'God, I have my agenda today, and I have my to-do list. I know what I need to do, but can you guide me and tell me what it is that you'll have me do today? And open my mind and my heart to be at ease with those things that if it's not going the way I plan, that it's a reroute from you and not just a distraction or a roadblock in my plans today, so that I don't get frustrated with it.'"
Bure has always been open about her spiritual journey and how it has afffected her life, especially as an actress in Hollywood.
"I feel like people are just a little less afraid of being canceled now that they can share their faith openly or whatever their opinions are [even] if they're not congruent with some other people's opinions," she told Fox News Digital in February.
"And, so, I love seeing this in our country, and I'm hopeful. I'm very hopeful."

Hazel Ortega's Life Story Inspires New Theatrical Play ‘Liberándome' by Acclaimed Mexican Writers
A powerful stage play based on her life story is the new theatrical project written by Adriano Numa and Gerardo Lazos, acclaimed Mexican authors. 'My hope is that Liberándome reaches every corner it can — to touch lives, to transform the hearts of those who act in it, those who watch it, and even those who read it.'— Hazel Ortega LOS ANGELES , CA, UNITED STATES, June 30, 2025 / / -- Renowned behavioral psychologist, author, and philanthropist Hazel Ortega is preparing to launch one of the most meaningful projects of her career: a theater play based on her life and bestselling book 'From Bounced Checks to Private Jets'. The play, titled Liberándome, is a bold and moving adaptation that will explore the raw truths behind Hazel's rise from extreme poverty, family adversity, and systemic limitations — into a life of purpose, abundance, and healing. This brings her bestselling book to life and continues her mission of transformation. Penned by celebrated Mexican contemporary playwrights Adriano Numa and Gerardo Lazos — known for their acclaimed social and psychological works — 'Liberándome' is designed to inspire audiences to question the limiting beliefs we often tag ourselves with. Through the lens of Hazel's personal transformation, the play challenges viewers to reprogram the narratives inherited from trauma, poverty, and oppression. Hazel's deeply personal story is also connected to her years of work with people recently released from incarceration, both in California and across Mexico. In alignment with her ongoing collaboration with Instituto de Reinserción Social, the premiere of Liberándome in Mexico City will be offered as a special donation performance by High Tide Global Foundation to this very population — giving voice, empathy, and empowerment to those seeking a second chance. This initiative is an extension of Hazel's philanthropic mission through the nonprofit, High Tide Global Foundation, which for years has supported underserved communities with education and empowerment tools. The theatrical project is expected to reach schools, correctional facilities, and independent theaters throughout Latin America and beyond. In addition to the play, Hazel Ortega will continue her high-impact work with the upcoming edition of Manifest University Express, set to take place on July 15, starting at 4:00 PM for the Spanish version and at 6:00 PM for the English version, in Whittier, California. This one-day immersive experience is completely free and open to the public, and will feature a keynote talk by Hazel Ortega alongside special guest Berké Brown in the English session, as well as inventor Blanca Estevez in the Spanish one — offering powerful tools for manifestation, personal growth, and mindset transformation. With 'Liberándome' and 'Manifest University Express', Hazel Ortega continues proving that storytelling, education, and community service are the most powerful tools to change lives — and that no one is ever too far from freeing themselves and building a life beyond their wildest dreams. To attend, please register by RSVP at the following page — look for the free event on July 15. international News TheWoodPr email us here Visit us on social media: Instagram Facebook YouTube TikTok Legal Disclaimer: EIN Presswire provides this news content 'as is' without warranty of any kind.

Jeremy Allen White faced 'pressure' when Bruce Springsteen movie trailer was released
Jeremy Allen White could barely stand it. White, star of the hit FX series 'The Bear,' braced himself for the day the 'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere' trailer came out. 'Getting that out, it was so much pressure,' said White to Jimmy Fallon on the June 26 'Tonight Show.' 'You're playing a real person — never mind Bruce Springsteen — and I was really touched (when) the trailer came out. I had more texts than when I blacked out and won that Golden Globe (for 'The Bear').' White won Best Actor in a comedy series in 2023, and part of his acceptance speech was bleeped out due to profanity. White won a Golden Globe for the third time for 'The Bear' in January but did not attend the awards ceremony as he was filming 'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere' in New Jersey. The trailer for 'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere,' which features White as Springsteen singing 'Born to Run' on a concert stage, was released on June 18. 'I didn't realize trailers were that big of a thing but, yeah, I'm breathing easy,' White said. 'People are really nice about the trailer and I'm excited.' 'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere,' from Disney's 20th Century Studios, is written and directed by Scott Cooper ('Crazy Heart,' 'Hostiles'). The film also features Jeremy Strong ('Succession') as Springsteen manager Jon Landau; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Stephen Graham as Springsteen's father, Douglas; and Odessa Young as love interest, Faye. The film, based on the book 'Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska' by musician Warren Zanes, is scheduled to be released in theaters Friday, Oct. 24. Location filming began in New Jersey Oct. 28, 2024, at the Montclair Library's Bellevue Avenue branch. Shoots took place in Asbury Park (including the Stone Pony and Frank's Deli), Freehold, Rahway, Bayonne, Denville, Rockaway and the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford for the 'Born to Run' concert scene. White does his own singing in the film. The Boss was often on the set of filming in New Jersey. The fourth seasons of 'The Bear,' which airs of Hulu, was released June 25.

Exclusive: Cliff Vmir Acquires New FEMMÈ Beauty Storefront And Talks Leadership, Ownership, And Impact
Cliff Vmir When one thinks of the viral internet sensation Cliff Vmir, it should come as no surprise that words like 'trailblazer' or 'trendsetter' closely follow. Throughout his career, we've witnessed the tastemaker expand his brand into lucrative streams of income as a key figure in the beauty industry, serving as a leading celebrity hairstylist for notable clients such as Cardi B, Jazmine Sullivan, and Sexyy Red. Vmir's influence has only grown in recent years, thanks to his haircare brand FEMMÉ, a line of products tailored to the needs of his extensive clientele, focusing on hair growth, nourishment, and more. As it's clear that he's already paved (or slayed) his own path in the haircare industry, Vmir recently added another accomplishment to his growing empire — a 3,000 sq. foot warehouse, salon, and storefront to house his FEMMÉ brand. While he's excited about this level up, Vmir feels that the elation will truly set in as he continues to meet his entrepreneurial goals.'I'm very hard on myself and have been since I was around sixteen years old. It's a good thing and it's a bad thing. I am excited and happy because I'm twenty-eight, and before anything, I'm Black and this is Black excellence,' Vmir said. 'I really started taking my hair care brand super seriously, about 10 months ago. This is the fourth and biggest warehouse that we moved up to. In my opinion, I won't feel like we've made it until I reach Walmart status because I feel like I'm only 10% of where I want to be.'One aspect that appears to be a common denominator in Vmir's professional trajectory is camaraderie. Whether it's by way of his collaborations with some of the leading ladies of popular culture or shining a light on other creators who look to create their own success stories, this energy is embedded in this latest endeavor, as well.'It's going to be a store in the very front, a salon in the middle, and then in the back, there's a double door that goes into the warehouse. I don't mind helping stylists, and I want a lot of phenomenal stylists there. I wanted a primarily male-based salon because I feel that males bring a different energy,' Vmir said. 'But I just want people who are not afraid to help one another. The salon is undergoing an interior makeover, featuring nice epoxy floors, with a significant amount of money being invested in it. FEMMÈ is my first baby, but this is my first baby that I have to really take care of. I have to make sure everything is done correctly, and I have the right people representing it. I just want to make sure that no matter what, people are going above and beyond, regardless of who you are.' Cliff Vmir While the mogul continues to extend his reign in the fields of haircare and entrepreneurship, he admits that each discipline requires varying levels of intention. When it comes to ownership, particularly, Vmir admits that sustaining the livelihood of his colleagues is of utmost importance to him and fuels his motivation.'Ownership for me is a whole other ballgame. As a hairstylist, you may wake up feeling unwell and need to cancel appointments. When you own a business, however, people are depending on you. There are people who work for me who can't pay their bills or provide for their families without that job. Anytime you own something, you're always the root of everything, so I can't really take days off. I could take a sick day, but I still need to ensure things are moving forward. Every day when I open my eyes, it's all about FEMMÈ and how I can advance my career. I feel that if I were to stop working today or tomorrow, many people who depend on me would struggle to provide for their families. I'm not doing it because of that, but I love to be able to put people in a position. When you own something and it's yours and no one can take it away from you, it's a really powerful feeling, especially when you're building it from the ground up.' Cliff Vmir Just two years shy of thirty, the innovator's leadership style encompasses similar tenets to those of peers twice his age. According to Vmir, that instinctive quality of leadership is something he's embodied since birth.'I feel like I've always been a natural leader. I'm young and I've always known what I wanted. I worked for myself since I was fifteen, so I'm very seasoned. I'm twenty-eight now, and I tell everyone who has a business never to take no for an answer because I never do. If I'm expecting a package and they call me and say, 'Oh, we're going to have a delay,' I'm going to do whatever I can to get my stuff when I need it, so I never accept no. I have always been a natural-born leader, and I'm never going to follow after anyone because how I feel matters the most.'As the Delaware native continues to excel in all of his lanes, he feels that his career is a full-circle moment, given that his dreams have become reality. 'I just wanted to be a regular hairstylist. My mom used to get her hair done by a woman who would do hair at her home. It wasn't ever about money, but about the art behind hair. I used to watch her do my mom's hair, and they would gossip and have a good time; that is what I originally wanted. However, once I was fourteen or fifteen, I had another vision. I remember going to cosmetology class because I went to a vocational school, and a teacher asked us all, 'Well, where do you see yourself in five years?' And I said, 'Well, I want to be a celebrity hairstylist.' Again, at the time in Delaware, that was considered impossible. Everyone just started laughing, and here we are over a decade later. The tongue is powerful, and working hard really does go a long way. I'm just so proud of myself, and I have never said that, ever.'
