You Aren’t The Thing You Did: Breaking the Shame Cycle - Candaces Podcast Season 13 Episode 5

What happens when shame stops being about what you did and starts defining who you think you are? In Episode 6 of The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, Candace and Madi continue their most vulnerable conversation yet, unpacking how shame forms, why it thrives in secrecy, and how confession becomes the doorway to freedom. They share personal stories, answer listener questions, and point listeners back to Scripture, reminding us that conviction draws us closer to God, while shame pushes us into hiding.
