Even when we’re feeling downtrodden, Candace Cameron Bure reminds us we always have hope — and God’s love.
“I think so many of us, we can think about wanting hope in the really big things and the extraordinary things in life, and where God gives us miracles, and He does that,” she told THE 700 CLUB. “And yet, there are so many of us that lose hope in the ordinary things in life.”
Bure added, “It is the places where we don’t feel satisfied, where we are frustrated and irritated that life hasn’t gone our way or the way we’ve been praying for. It’s not what we thought it was going to be, and there have been more obstacles in our lives than we realized. And yet, hope is the reminder that keeps us going, that keeps us being able to take one more step forward.”
“I know from personal experience how much God loves me,” the FULL HOUSE actress shared. “I reflect on that more and more every year, and I fall more in love with Him, His patience, and His mercy for me, and how He continues to mold every single one of us. And hope can be found despite our circumstances, because God uses all things for good for those who love Him.”

It’s a topic that Bure explores with her new book, Wild Hope: A 30-Day Devotional to Overcome Life’s Challenges.
“We all need hope,” she told The Christian Post. “Sometimes we need it in the big things, in the extraordinary things, and a lot of times we need to find it in the ordinary. … It’s the little disappointments that just add up. You can often lose hope that life isn’t going the way you expected or wanted or even prayed about.”
Wild Hope isn’t the only new project Bure has been working on. The actress recently announced that she joined the cast of SPECIAL FORCES: WORLD’S TOUGHEST TEST for its fifth season.
“No glitz, no glamour, all grit!! I said YES to one of the hardest challenges I’ve EVER faced!!” Bure posted on Instagram.
Pure Flix described the show as something that pushes “contestants to their physical, mental and emotional limits,” favoring “grit, teamwork and determination.”
“Set in the jungles of Malaysia, this season’s recruits will face intense military-inspired challenges designed by former Special Forces operatives — including navigating underground bunkers, enduring harsh environmental conditions, and completing demanding endurance tests,” the site continued.
No matter the project, Bure is inspiring people to lean on values like hope, faith and determination.
