Actress Candace Cameron Bure spoke about raising her children with “biblical values.”
In an interview with The Christian Post, Bure, 47, opened up about instilling biblical principles into her three children as they were growing up.
“I trained my kids up with biblical values, and the Bible is where we started and what we continue to read today. Even when my kids were young, I had the fruit of the Spirit lettered on their walls to remind them of all of the fruit of the Spirit: joy, love, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control,” she shared.
Bure continued, “We talk about those things. The Bible tells us to ‘train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old, they won’t depart from it.’”
She and her husband, Val Bure, have three adult children — Levi, Maksim and Natasha.
The former “Full House” actress spoke about her belief in “intentional parenting.”
“We taught out of the Bible, and I’m grateful to see that I have adult children today who are all following that road and that path, loving the Lord,” she told The Post.
Bure launched the Generous Kids Book Club, which is a monthly subscription to teach children ages 4 to 8, biblical values, character development, family bonding, and quality time. each book was written by mothers, grandmothers, teachers, and school counselors, per its website.

She encouraged parents who are raising children during what she called a “culture war.”
“I think the best thing that any of us can do as parents is to be consistent and that we actually walk our walk and we show it by example and not just talk the talk,” she said.
Bure further explained the importance of parents leading by example.
“It’s a lot easier said than done because those little eyes are always watching you. Mommy and daddy are the biggest examples in life, so they’re always watching to see what you’re going to do,” she said.
She added, “If you as a parent can walk with consistency and back up your words with your actions, that speaks volumes, and your children will know that; it doesn’t go unnoticed by them, ever. That consistency through life will play out, I truly believe that.”
