How Far Is Too Far? Breaking Patterns That Keep You Stuck!

Why can’t you get past the patterns and habits that seem to hold you back—even when you love God and want to grow? In this episode, Candace and Madi talk honestly about the small, unconfessed compromises that shape a life over time. They unpack why sin rarely starts big, the difference between falling into sin and choosing to live in it, and why the fear of the Lord is rooted in reverence, not distance. Madi shares a powerful story about double red flags at the beach and a lifeguard pleading with people to get out of the water - not to ruin their fun, but to save their lives. Candace adds practical wisdom about daily surrender, prayer, Scripture, and learning to say “no” when it matters most. They also respond to listener questions about prayer and marriage: • Sheila: “Can you talk to God like he’s your best friend, or is that disrespectful?” • Rita: Advice for a couple who are new to their faith and preparing for marriage WHAT’S INSIDE 00:00 – Why shame feels heavier than guilt 02:10 – Listener question: talking to kids about their bodies 06:30 – Why silence creates confusion and shame 09:05 – When shame shifts from behavior to identity 12:00 – Madi’s childhood shame and struggles 15:40 – Secret sin and isolation 18:25 – To kill shame is to confess shame 21:00 – Candace’s confession and healing 24:00 – Why confession breaks strongholds 26:15 – Shame vs. conviction 28:40 – Listener question: trauma and body shame 31:00 – Romans 8:1 and forgiveness 33:00 – Your story can free others #thebachelor #dating #candacecameronburepodcast #healingjourney #candacecameron #candace #faith #christian #shame #healing #freedom #confession #forgiveness #testimony #vulnerability #truth #identity #trauma #grace #redemption #community #accountability #scripture #bodyimage #restoration#christianpodcast #faithjourney #spiritualgrowth #biblicaltruth #discipleship #healingjourney #freedominchrist #gospeltruth #christianwomen #christiancommunity #faithoverfear #faithtalk #candacecameronbure Connect with Candace and Madison Candace on Instagram @candacecbure Follow the Podcast on Instagram @candacecameronburepodcast Follow the Podcast on TikTok @ccbpodcast Follow Madison Prewett Troutt on Instagram: @madiprew Website: https://www.madiprew.com/ YouTube:@madiprewett2381 Sponsors this season 316 Financial https://bank316.com/candace IFCJ https://ifcj.org GCU https://gcu.edu WeShare https://eshare.org/candace Solo Mio https://angel.com/candace.
