Bianca Juarez Olthoff, Candace Cameron Bure Talk Leaving a Legacy
By Movieguide® Contributor
Candace Cameron Bure and Bianca Juarez Olthoff are discussing the importance of the legacies we leave behind.
“We usually associate legacy with wealth, but legacy is so much more than that,” Olthoff explained on “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast.” “Legacy is what we leave in our wake for the next generation. What people don’t understand is that we are leaving a legacy, whether we realize it or not.”
She shared that her father has been a preacher for 33 years, and seeing his lasting impact on others has been moving.
“My dad’s not leaving me with a trust fund or a house. My dad is leaving me with a rich spiritual inheritance,” Olthoff said.
Bure also shared her thoughts, pointing to the impermanence of her work in the entertainment industry.
“At the end of the day, who cares? Who cares what awards I’ve won? Who cares how long my resume is? Nobody’s going to remember,” she said. “But the lasting impact that this podcast maybe has because we’re talking about Jesus, that’s the legacy I want to leave.”
Part of Olthoff’s legacy is her effort to spread her faith, as well as messages of encouragement.
In a recent Instagram post, she wrote, “Every November I head to the desert. Like the phoenix rising from the ashes, the desert is a place to hear from God. It’s biblical! If you’re in a desert season, take heart. It’s the perfect place to rise from the ashes and soar to new heights.”
Bure is also building her legacy through her work and family.
“I truly am grateful for my family,” the actress shared. “I’m so blessed to have an amazing husband and three children, but also incredible parents and sisters and a brother and extended family. My family’s very, very close and I don’t take it for granted, I know not all families look like that.”

Candace Cameron Bure and Bianca Juarez Olthoff are encouraging people to focus on God’s love in their darkest moments.
In these low moments, Olthoff said it’s important to focus on God and His love.
“I want you to ask the why, but I want you to then turn your focus on the who because if you stay with the why, you’ll get bitter,” she explained. “But if you stay on the who — God, you are good. God, you are for me. God, you’ve not abandoned me and I’m choosing to believe that I will see the goodness of God in the land of the living — that’s how we make it through.”
