Menopause, Hormones, and the Truth About Aging Gracefully with Dr. Tabatha Barber Oct 28, 2025

What really happens during menopause—and how can faith, science, and self-care come together to help us age with strength and grace? In this powerful conversation, Candace and Dr. Tabatha Barber dive deep into hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the truth behind the 2002 study that scared women away from hormones, and how lifestyle choices like fasting, stress management, and nutrition can restore balance.

They tackle the myths of “self-love,” the pressure to look perfect, and the importance of caring for your body as a spiritual act of stewardship. From estrogen patches to infrared saunas, fasting to functional medicine, this is a must-listen for women of every age who want to understand their health—and take one step closer to Jesus with confidence and courage.

Asks The Experts: What do I do about Perimenopause and the Stress Hormone Rollercoaster? -Dr. Tabatha Barber. Oct 21, 2025

Candace and OB-GYN Dr. Tabatha Barber go straight into one of the biggest mysteries of midlife: perimenopause. Together they unpack what menopause really is (one single day after 12 months without a period) and why today’s hormonal chaos—hot flashes, brain fog, mood swings, and “food noise”—often comes from stress, gut health, and toxins more than from age alone. Dr. Tabatha explains how cortisol, gut bacteria, and liver overload can throw the whole system off, while Candace opens up about her own journey toward balance and breaking the sugar cycle. The two also discuss renewing the mind with Scripture, practical toxin swaps, smarter lab work, and how to pursue fitness without letting it rule your identity.

Candace welcomes triple‑board‑certified physician Dr. Tabatha Barber to connect faith, medicine, and women’s health. They unpack why your period is a vital sign, what hormonal birth control does (and doesn’t) do, how gut health drives gyn health, and a clear, grace‑filled explanation of the cycle phases—estrogen, progesterone, ovulation, and more.

Candace shares vulnerably about navigating depression in her early 20s while on the pill, and Dr. Tabatha offers informed‑consent insights plus practical starting points (from cleaner food choices to simple swaps) so you can build sustainable habits.

They close with listener questions on staying consistent with nutrition, postpartum body confidence, and real‑world gear (yes, sports bras). It’s a hopeful, practical conversation for every stage—teens to perimenopause.

When Your Body Speaks — What is your body trying to tell you? - Lisa Whittle Sep 09, 2025

Does your body have a memory?

Candace and Lisa dig into how hidden stress, bitterness, and fractured relationships can surface as very real physical symptoms—and how Scripture gives language and hope for healing.

Together they connect clinical insights to a whole-body theology: we’re image bearers, made for unity in the Body of Christ, and freedom grows where forgiveness and wise boundaries take root.

Stay to the end for a listener Q&A on anxiety, daily mental health rhythms, and learning to see the “best thing that could happen.”

Where It Goes Sideways- Why Does My Body Feel So Complicated? - Lisa Whittle Jul 29, 2025

In this raw and deeply personal episode of Body & Soul, Candace and Lisa continue their vulnerable journey into how we see and treat our bodies. Lisa shares a moment from childhood that shaped her entire body story—a traumatic exposure to pornography that led to years of compartmentalization and perfectionism. Candace relates through her own early body awareness, acting pressures, and a lifelong internal battle with image and value.

Together, they unpack why our relationships with our bodies go sideways—from treating our bodies like projects or performances, to seeing them as props for approval. They introduce the "trifecta" of body compartmentalization and explain why only a solid foundation can bring lasting freedom. They also respond to a moving listener question about emotional eating and point toward scripture as the root of transformation.

Which of the three body perspectives do you relate to most: project, prop, or object?

Why Can’t I Feel Free? What Keeps Us From Finding Peace in Our Bodies? - Lisa Whittle Jul 22, 2025

In the premiere of Season 11, Body & Soul, Candace and her guest co-host Lisa Whittle begin a vulnerable and powerful conversation about their lifelong struggles with body image, disordered eating, and mental exhaustion. From Lisa’s seminary days of Skittles and Diet Coke lunches to Candace’s behind-the-scenes pressures as a young actress, both women reveal how shame and comparison shaped their self-worth.

But this season isn’t about staying stuck. Lisa introduces the concept of "whole body theology," a Biblical foundation that reframes how we view our bodies—not as projects to fix, but as vessels created for God’s glory. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by conflicting health advice, or caught in a cycle of striving and self-loathing, this episode offers gospel-centered hope for a new way forward. Because when body and soul are seen together, healing begins.

Can Watching a Scary Movie Open a Spiritual Portal—or is That Just Fear Talking? - Jonathan Pokluda Jun 10, 2025

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.

Are You Believing a Lie? How Do You Know What’s True? - Jonathan Pokluda Jun 03, 2025

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.

How Distracted Are You? Is This The Biggest Problem Today? - Jonathan Pokluda May 27, 2025

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.

You’ll walk away with practical strategies to identify your biggest distractions and learn how to redirect your attention back to Jesus. Because if the enemy can’t destroy you—he’ll try to distract you.

Can Demons Hear Your Prayers? The Truth About a Real Question - Jonathan Pokluda May 20, 2025

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.

Demons at the Country Club- Jonathan Pokluda May 13, 2025

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!

Is This Spiritual Warfare… or Just a Dead Battery? - Jonathan Pokluda May 06, 2025

Episode Summary: Do demons really mess with car batteries… or is that just coincidence?

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.

JP shares his own journey from skepticism to deep Biblical study, breaking down what’s written in scripture about Satan, demons, and the unseen realm. Lev reflects on his upbringing and real-life moments that made him question whether something more was happening behind the scenes. Together, the trio explores how our experiences, media, and theology often distort the truth—and how Jesus offers clarity, peace, and protection in the middle of the battle.

From hilarious childhood snake stories to sobering truths about temptation and fear, this episode invites you to open your eyes to the invisible war around us—and lean on the God who wins.

It’s not about living in fear. It’s about living in awareness.

Free Resource: Download the No Fear Guide at Candace.com to equip yourself with biblical truth and peace for this spiritual battle.

Listener Question: “I'd like to better understand evil and why it's allowed to exist among us.” JP gives a powerful response about why evil is not a thing—but rather the absence of God’s goodness.

The Pivotal Moment: A Fight that Changed Everything - Jonathan's Story Part 7 Mar 27, 2025

The Pivotal Moment: A Fight that Changed Everything

In this excerpt, Jonathan shares the life-changing moment he was involved in a fight that left his friend in a coma. Jonathan says, "I was involved in a fight. He wasn't in the fight, but I fell down, and he fell with me, knocking his neck on the sidewalk. He ended up in a coma for two days." This incident was a turning point for Jonathan, leading him to a path of self-reflection and transformation.

The support from his church community played a crucial role in Jonathan's personal growth. After the incident, Jonathan gave his life to Christ and found hope and purpose within the church. "I got baptized at 12 after that fight. The first thing the church did is they gave me the chance to preach to the children," he shared. This opportunity to preach was a testament to the church's belief in his potential and their commitment to nurturing his growth. "That's why the local church helped me to see hope, to have hope. Not only to be a positive view of the future but to have actually hope and hope is the ability to make things for, make that future to happen," Jonathan explained.

Be Genuine: Share your story, including the ups and downs, to provide a realistic view of faith. This transparency can inspire and comfort others who may be struggling.

Engage Thoughtfully: Respond to comments and messages with kindness and empathy. This reflects the love of Christ and fosters a welcoming community.

Reflect on Motivation: Before posting, consider why you're sharing. Make sure your motivation aligns with your values and isn’t just for validation or approval.

Set Boundaries: Decide what aspects of your life you want to keep private. It's important to protect your personal space while still being open and relatable.

Encourage Others: Use your platform to uplift and support others in their faith journeys.

Life is like a rollercoaster, but it’s so much better when we go through it together!

It’s true. We’re better together. And this season, I’m asking our podcast community to do something TOGETHER to make a difference in the world.

There are hard things going on around us. Hurricanes. Floods. Fires. People hurting. And as followers of Jesus, we show up in the hard stuff, and we build relationships with people who need us. We give.

Each week I’m bringing you a short piece of an interview with a special guest, and each week you’ll hear more about what we can do together. These are short episodes - less than 10 minutes each.
