The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast

What do you do when your faith falls apart? In this episode of The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, Candace, Lev, and guest co-host Jonathan Pokluda have one of the most raw and redemptive conversations of the season. From parenting regrets and personal doubt to powerful testimonies of transformation, this episode centers around a single spiritual question: What happens when faith gets deconstructed? Jonathan shares how he rebuilt his entire belief system from scratch after years of addiction, confusion, and spiritual wandering. Lev opens up about his own battles with intellectual doubt in college—and how even Bible study can become a battleground for belief. Together, the trio explores why deconstruction isn't the end of the story—it's the beginning of rebuilding on truth. They also respond to a deeply emotional listener question from Judith, whose friend stopped praying after losing her daughter. Jonathan offers powerful encouragement for anyone wrestling with grief and disappointment with God. If you've ever struggled with faith, this conversation will give you both hope and practical steps to move forward.

Is it possible to become numb to the spiritual battle happening around you? In this episode, Candace, JP, and Lev explore how desensitization slowly creeps into our lives—from the media we consume to the cultural norms we quietly accept. JP shares deeply about his own spiritual accountability system, why he needs others to spot blind spots, and how community can expose what we've become used to. Candace opens up about longing for more in-person truth-tellers. They also tackle a listener question from Sarah about one of the most unsettling passages in the Bible: Did God really send an evil spirit to torment Saul? And if so… could that still happen today?

Is watching a scary movie just entertainment—or something spiritually dangerous? In this bold, honest conversation, Candace, her son Lev, and Pastor Jonathan Pokluda dig into how the enemy uses division—not just destruction—as his most effective tactic. From media boundaries to church gossip to family disagreements, they explore how spiritual warfare often plays out in ordinary moments. Lev opens up about an eight-month season of spiritual doubt and how one vulnerable prayer shifted his heart. Listener Holly's question gives way to a beautiful discussion on how parents can walk with their kids through doubt—without panic, shame, or fear.

What if the enemy could convince you that sin is freedom—and silence is safety? In this deeply personal episode, Candace, Lev, and Pastor JP unpack how the enemy deceives by flipping the value of everything: making cheap things seem worthy and making eternal things seem disposable. JP opens up about switching price tags on a Boys II Men CD as a teenager—a story that becomes a metaphor for how we can be mislead. They explore how spiritual apathy, pride, fear of man, and a shallow view of eternity can all keep believers quiet when the world needs truth the most. Candace shares about her own conviction over staying silent on set and Lev wrestles with pride and significance. This episode is both sobering and empowering, calling every listener to live for what truly matters.

What if the greatest threat to your faith isn't fear—but distraction? Candace, JP, and Lev unpack how the enemy uses busyness, noise, and even our own thoughts to keep us from intimacy with God.  JP shares the emotional story of a dying man whose final words—"Don't wait like I did"—remind us how easily we can miss what matters most. From golden calves to glowing screens, the team exposes how distraction can become modern-day idolatry and explains why the mind is the primary battleground in spiritual warfare. Candace also opens up about the mental exhaustion of spinning too many plates and how she's fighting to reclaim peace, focus, and rest.

What if the devil knew your weaknesses better than you did? In this episode, JP explains how the enemy studies our habits, patterns, and even family history—like a coach analyzing game film—to find ways to destroy us. But the good news? God equips us with everything we need to stand strong. Candace, Lev, and JP open up about spiritual warfare in everyday life—from the arguments in a young marriage to the pressure of working in the public eye. They talk about how demons can't read our minds but can observe our words, habits, and bloodline to wage a targeted attack. JP explains what Scripture means when it talks about generational strongholds and how geography, culture, and even well-meaning Christians can unknowingly become instruments of discouragement. They also dive into what it means to put on the armor of God, how spiritual warfare isn't always loud or cinematic, and why prayer is the key to staying grounded. You'll also hear a powerful listener question from a woman facing chronic illness while raising a young family—and the hope that comes from remembering this truth: you're not home yet, but God is with you every step of the way.

What happens when a casual conversation at a Utah country club turns into a full-on demonic encounter? In this stunning episode, JP shares a first-person story of deliverance that confirmed his conviction that spiritual warfare is real. But it's not just something that happens somewhere else, to other people, in foreign countries —it can happen in a golf clubhouse too. Candace, Lev, and JP break down what authors in the Bible write about angels, demons, and strongholds. They also discuss the idea of sin opening people to demonic oppression, the Biblical model for spiritual authority, and how to discern God's voice from the enemy's lies. This one will make you laugh, think, and maybe think about your local golf course a little differently!

In the premiere episode of Season 10 of The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, Candace is joined by Pastor Jonathan “JP” Pokluda and her son, Lev Bure, to kick off a series of bold conversations about spiritual warfare—what it is, why most Christians avoid talking about it, and how it's affecting our lives more than we realize.
