Summary

What do you do when your faith falls apart? In this episode of The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, Candace, Lev, and guest co-host Jonathan Pokluda have one of the most raw and redemptive conversations of the season. From parenting regrets and personal doubt to powerful testimonies of transformation, this episode centers around a single spiritual question: What happens when faith gets deconstructed? Jonathan shares how he rebuilt his entire belief system from scratch after years of addiction, confusion, and spiritual wandering. Lev opens up about his own battles with intellectual doubt in college—and how even Bible study can become a battleground for belief. Together, the trio explores why deconstruction isn’t the end of the story—it’s the beginning of rebuilding on truth. They also respond to a deeply emotional listener question from Judith, whose friend stopped praying after losing her daughter. Jonathan offers powerful encouragement for anyone wrestling with grief and disappointment with God. If you’ve ever struggled with faith, this conversation will give you both hope and practical steps to move forward.
