The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast

Let’s Get Practical: Conflict, Needs, and the Communication Types 02.06.2026 36мин

Have you ever known something was broken in a relationship but had no idea how to say what you actually needed to fix it? That's where so many of us get stuck. This week, Candace and communication coach Jason VanRuler move from understanding the PATHS types to putting them to work, starting with a listener question about a family conflict that has been festering for twenty years. Jason reframes the whole thing: the problem is rarely that people won't talk. It's that they don't know what they need in order to move forward. The conversation moves through how each communication type engages with conflict, from the Peacemaker who needs reassurance that the relationship will survive the hard conversation, to the Advocate who can throw the whole relationship away for the win, to the Thinker who arrives with a trolley of evidence, to the Harbor who creates so much space for feelings that the conflict never actually gets resolved, to the Spark who surprises everyone when the intensity finally breaks. Jason also addresses what to do when the other person simply is not willing, and how to tell the difference between what we want and what we actually need. Two more listener questions round out the episode: a mom whose first-grade son keeps getting excluded, and a teenage girl named Blythe navigating anxiety. Jason's answer to both comes back to the same thing. Confidence rooted in identity. When we know who we are and what we stand for, rejection still hurts, but it doesn't define us. And for the teenage girl spinning in worry? Noting the anxiety and then redirecting that energy somewhere useful turns out to be far more effective than overthinking it.

Do You Make People Feel Safe? 26.05.2026 44мин

Have you ever been around someone who made you feel like your feelings actually mattered? Or tried for months to get through to someone you love, only to catch one brief moment where they let you in? That is exactly what this episode is about. Candace and Jason VanRuler are back to continue the PATHS series, and this week they go deep on the two communication types that might be the most misunderstood: Harbor and Spark. Jason opens up about being a Harbor himself — the feeler of the group, the one who makes space for everyone else's emotions and often forgets to need that space too. He shares the story of a therapist on a bus who had spent a career being a Harbor for others and had never once had one for herself. The loneliness in that is real, and so is the beauty of what a Harbor offers when it's healthy. They also talk about the wound that often shapes a Harbor: being a kid whose feelings just didn't get to matter. Then there's the Spark — the one who lights up a room, gets every conversation going, and sometimes vanishes the moment things get heavy. Candace and Jason talk about what it actually takes to reach a Spark in a real relationship, and Candace shares what her husband has taught her about patience, cigars on the patio, and the one-in-three conversations that open everything up. Two listener questions round out the episode: one about a three-year-old who worries too much, and one from a mom who feels like she's losing her twelve-year-old.

How to Be Honest Without Losing the Relationship 19.05.2026 43мин

Have you ever told the truth and still felt like the message didn't land? Or held back because you weren't sure how to say it without it coming across wrong? Candace and licensed therapist Jason VanRuler are back this week continuing the conversation about the PATHS communication types — and this time they're going deep on two of them: the Advocate and the Thinker. The Advocate leads with what's fair, what's right, and what needs to be said. Proverbs 27:5 says, "Better is open rebuke than hidden love" — and that's the Advocate's whole posture. But Jason talks about what it looks like when the truth is delivered without the right packaging, and Candace opens up about her own Advocate score and a real conversation where she had to say out loud: the truth matters more to me than the fix right now. The Thinker, meanwhile, goes quiet before they go anywhere. Proverbs 18:13 is the anchor verse: "To answer before listening — that is folly and shame." Someone with a Thinker communication style is processing and fact-checking themselves, making sure what they say is worth saying. Candace shares what that looks like on set and why the people around her have learned to just let her think. There's also a listener question from Lucia about family members she can barely tolerate, a conversation about letting your kids watch you work through conflict, Jason's "boredom binder" of life skills, and an honest look at what it took for him and his wife to stop arguing in circles.

How Communication Changes Everything 12.05.2026 38мин

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling like the other person heard something completely different from what you said? That gap between what we want and what really happens is where so many of our hardest moments show up — in our marriages, with our kids, with the people we love most. This week, Candace sits down with licensed therapist, coach, and author Jason VanRuler to start a six-week series on the five communication types he outlines in his book "Discovering Your Communication Type." Right from the start, this one feels less like a lecture and more like finally getting words for something you've always sensed about yourself. Jason introduces the PATHS framework: Peacemaker, Advocate, Thinker, Harbor, and Spark — and the conversation digs into the first type: the Peacemaker. If you've ever found yourself working overtime to keep everyone okay, managing the energy in a room without anyone even knowing, this episode is going to feel very familiar. Jason shares how our communication types are often rooted in what we needed most as kids, and how the gift we give others is usually the gift we once longed for ourselves. A listener question from Bethany about her husband's phone use leads to one of the most practical moments in the episode — including a line from Jason that could genuinely shift a marriage: "If it matters to you, it matters to me."

How Do you Want To Be Remembered? 05.05.2026 37мин

Have you ever watched someone approach the end of their life and thought, I want that? Not the dying part, but the confidence. The peace. The sense that they lived life well and they knew it. In this final episode of the season, Candace and Francis Chan get honest about what it takes to make it to the end — and what it costs to walk away. Francis opens with something he does not say lightly. He tells Candace he is proud of her. Not in a way that comes from someone distant, but from someone who has watched her life up close for decades and seen a woman who kept choosing the same thing over and over again. She kept choosing God. And he encourages her — with the warmth of someone who has buried friends and sat with people on their deathbeds — to keep going. The enemy is crafty. The people who fall away are not strangers. They are people who were there. And yet there is a reason Peter said, "Where else would we go?" They talk about heaven, about what the fullness of God actually feels like, and about a man named Alan who is dying as they record the episode. Francis asked if he could FaceTime Alan into a chapel of 1,000 students — and Alan said yes. Watch the episode to catch the whole conversation!

What Happens When God Shows Up? 28.04.2026 48мин

Have you ever felt such overwhelming joy that it surprised you? This week, Candace and Francis Chan talk about what it really looks and feels like to give from overflow, not obligation, and why the difference between those two starting places changes everything. Francis brings personal stories from Uganda, Ethiopia, and a village in Burma. He talks about watching women who had lived in the worst conditions imaginable graduate in caps and gowns, jumping for joy, and what it did to him to be a small part of that. He is honest about the tension too: about the times he has served from insecurity rather than fullness, and about what it means to feel pain deeply while also knowing genuine joy. Listener Cammie asks a real question: what do you do when you want to pursue God but can't find the motivation? Francis and Candace answer with something honest and practical, and a little convicting. What else is here? Some thoughts on fasting from Candace….and yes, Francis wants a role in a Christmas movie!

What Francis Learned About Mountain Biking! 21.04.2026 45мин

There is a difference between knowing the gospel and being moved by it. In this conversation with Pastor Francis Chan, that difference becomes hard to miss. What starts as a moment of raw honesty as Francis watches Candace respond to the gospel with tears opens into something much bigger: what it actually means to stay inside the love of God, not just visit it. Francis shares the mountain biking story from his new book (written with his daughter Mercy) that says everything about where we fix our eyes and what happens when we don't. They talk about the distinction between conviction from the Holy Spirit and condemnation from the enemy, why those two things feel similar but lead in completely different directions, and what it looks like to keep coming back to the gospel like it's the first time you've heard it. A listener named Candice (with an i) asks about scripture for recurring struggles, and Francis answers with the kind of honesty that actually helps. And Candace shares a season of her own life when she wanted God at arm's length and knew exactly why. The awkward line breaks from what looks like a copy-paste from a PDF or narrow text box are all cleaned up!

Who Are You, Really? 14.04.2026 46мин

Some questions have been argued in seminaries for centuries. Others just feel personal. In this episode of the Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, Candace and pastor Francis Chan sit with both. The conversation opens with listener questions on free will and prayer, and Francis does something refreshing: he admits what he doesn't know, and explains why that's actually a gift. From there the episode moves into something close to Francis's heart right now: identity. Not the kind built on reputation or accomplishment, but the one that holds when everything else falls apart. Francis talks about the disciple John, who called himself "the one Jesus loved," and why that used to seem odd to him. Now he sees it differently. John wasn't being arrogant. He was living by faith. One of the most striking moments is a story Francis shares about a seminary friend who spent decades trying to earn God's love through sheer effort and discipline. He ended up in the hospital. His body gave out. It was only when he finally stopped performing that something broke open. Francis connects that story to a trap a lot of believers fall into without ever naming it out loud: a good week quietly feels like it earns more love, and a bad week creates distance. The episode closes with Francis walking through the full gospel. Not a summary. The whole thing. And it lands exactly the way it should.

You Too Busy to Hear God’s Voice? 07.04.2026 44мин

Francis Chan is back with Candace, and before anything else, he stops to pray, asking God to do what no conversation can do on its own. It doesn't matter whether someone grew up with parents who loved them well or with parents who didn't, he says. Either way, experiencing God's love takes a miracle, so he's asking for that miracle as they begin. From there, Francis gives a glimpse of his life right now: seven kids, five grandkids, his four oldest are all worship leaders, and he loves how much the family will end up in the living room with their instruments and singing. He's been married to Lisa for 32 years and says he misses her more when he travels now than he ever has. Francis is 58 and still giving most of his energy to the generation coming up. He talks about how that shift started at 50, when he read Numbers 8 and realized God had told the Levites to step back from temple service at exactly that age, not because they'd run out of usefulness, but so they could pour into the 25-year-olds behind them. He didn't want to hear it. He was in the best shape of his life. But the more he sat with it, the clearer it got. There's a candle illustration he uses: at some point, the wisest thing the old candle can do is stop trying to stay lit and just light the new one. Olivia writes in saying prayer feels awkward to her, even when she's alone. Francis says that's more common than people admit, because most of us were never actually taught how to do it. He starts with Ecclesiastes 5, which says don't rush into God's presence with a flood of words. Stop first. Think about who you're talking to. From there he moves through awe, then grace, then what it looks like to sit quietly and let God work. The episode closes with two stories about that last part: a moment in Hawaii where Francis heard something he couldn't explain and a stranger sitting next to him said the exact same thing out loud, and a moment Candace had while reading Beloved, when she felt God’s direct encouragement.

Can God's Love Be Real? What If My Real Dad Was Just Abusive? 31.03.2026 46мин

This episode opens with Candace welcoming pastor Francis Chan for the first of a six-week series built around his book Beloved and the theme of God's love. The two share history going back to Candace's teenage years at Cornerstone Church, and that context shapes the conversation from the start. Francis has written several books, including Crazy Love, and Beloved is the anchor for everything this season covers. A lot of this episode focuses on Francis's early life. His mother died when he was born, his father gave him up, and he was raised by his grandmother in Hong Kong before being returned to his dad at age five. Francis remembers arriving in a home where he felt like an interruption, not speaking English, with older siblings who didn't know what to do with him. His stepmother died in a car accident when he was seven, and his father died when he was twelve. Francis connects that history directly to the reason he wrote Beloved: accepting a holy, sovereign, judging God came naturally to him, but believing that God personally loved him was something else entirely. Candace comes to the conversation from a different starting point. Growing up with a loving earthly father, she says she absorbed God's love almost by default and never stopped to think too deeply about whether it was real or not. She reflects that believing something and actually sitting inside it aren't the same thing. Francis responds that this is its own kind of distance, and that he sometimes tells his own children he worries they'll miss out on the particular dependence on God that came from having no one else to rely on. The episode closes with a listener theology question from Vicky about Moses interceding when God threatens to destroy the Israelites. Vicky asks how a sovereign God who knows everything can be genuinely angry about things He already knew would happen, and whether Moses actually changed the outcome. Francis points to Isaiah 55, acknowledges the tension honestly, and draws out what the passage teaches about prayer, intercession, and how scripture uses narrative to communicate what neat answers alone can't.

Dare to Live Free, Season Finale 24.03.2026 43мин

In this final episode of Season 13, Candace and co-host Madi Prewett Troutt wrap up the conversations they have had over the last three months, and Candace shares what it has meant to get to know Madi, one of her daughter Natasha’s close friends, in this setting. Madi closes out the season with her thoughts on what it looks like to live free as a daily practice rather than a one-time decision. Drawing from Galatians 5:1, she talks about why freedom in Christ requires ongoing, intentional choices, and what it means that freedom is not just for us but for something greater than ourselves. The episode also includes a listener Q&A covering a wide range of topics: go-to meals, handling mean girl drama with your kids, the question of whether hair dyeing is a spiritual issue, how to share a difficult testimony without re-traumatizing yourself, workout guilt during busy seasons, wardrobe tips for petite women, and how to balance a public platform with family and personal time with God.

What If Your Life Was Never About You? 17.03.2026 34мин

Candace and Madi are in the final stretch of their season together, and this conversation feels like a warm, honest wrap-up of everything they have been building toward. There is genuine emotion as they acknowledge having only two weeks left, the kind of sadness that comes from investing deeply in someone over a shared season of life. Before they get into the heavier stuff, they take a detour into laughter, swapping stories about crawling into tight spaces on a dare. Candace shares the time she climbed into a dryer with actress Marilu Henner, and Madi confesses to getting herself locked in the front trunk of a Tesla. It is the kind of belly laugh moment that makes this podcast feel like time with old friends! The conversation turns to a listener question from Jennifer, a stay-at-home mom who recently moved abroad for her husband's job and is grieving the loss of her church community. Both Candace and Madi speak to the challenge of building community from scratch, offering practical encouragement about plugging into a local church, joining a small group, and staying connected with old friends through calls or video chats. Candace gives a piece of advice she has lived by herself: give it a year. It takes time, but community is worth pursuing. Madi shares how her sense of calling has shifted with different seasons of life, and how entering motherhood has prompted a fresh conversation with her husband about how to channel her gifts in a new way. Candace reflects on how a decade at home with her kids radically changed the way she thought about work, ambition, and who she was trying to impress. Together, they land on something simple but countercultural: purpose is not about building your name. It is about glorifying God with what is right in front of you, whether that is a podcast, a stage, a barista counter, or a school pickup line. The episode wraps up with a listener question from Jessica, a new Christian who struggles with decision-making and worries about missing God's will for her life. Both Candace and Madi offer honest, grounded perspective. Most of the time, there is no sign in the sky. You pray, you take a step, and you trust that God will redirect you if needed. It is a reassuring note to end on, and a fitting close to a season that has consistently pointed listeners back to faith, faithfulness, and the quiet power of everyday obedience.

You Become Who You Surround Yourself With 10.03.2026 34мин

What does your circle actually look like? Who is your community? Candace and Madi talk about the loneliness of post-college life, navigating new seasons as a wife and mom, and share the real challenges of finding and keeping the right people around you. Candace and Madi open up about moments when the people they chose to spend time with led them in the wrong direction, and the friends who pointed them back toward Jesus. Madi shares a vulnerable story about a night that went sideways and what it taught her about the power of peer influence. Candace reflects on the crazy underground Hollywood party she and Val stumbled into, and the lifelong friend who sat her down and asked the question that changed her trajectory: 'How is your walk with God? They explore what it looks like to build community in every season, whether you are newly single after college, settling into marriage, raising littles, or starting fresh in a brand new city. Candace reminds listeners that online community counts, that technology makes it possible to have deep friendships across the miles, and that you are never too old to make new friends. (Her dad at 82 proves it in the most adorable story you will hear today. They close the episode by tackling a listener question about what to do when a close friend isn’t willing to forgive and make up. Their answer is full of grace, honesty, and hope for anyone carrying the weight of a broken relationship.

What is Sexual Purity Really About? 03.03.2026 40мин

Candace and Madi sit down for a heartfelt conversation about purity culture and their personal experiences. From listener questions about managing work stress as a new mom to a candid discussion about what it really means to live a life of purity, this episode is a combo of vulnerability and practical wisdom. Madi opens up about her personal relationship journey during high school and college, sharing how her early mindset was rooted in fear and reputation rather than a genuine love for God. She reflects on how experiencing God's grace completely transformed the way she views purity, not as a list of rules, but as a beautiful gift that leads to more of God's presence and a life of real freedom. She shares openly about past struggles with pornography, and how confession and accountability were key to walking in freedom. Candace brings her own perspective as someone nearly 30 years into marriage, broadening the conversation beyond sexual purity to include thinking more carefully about the way we talk and think. Candace and Madi tackle the hard questions: how to have a healthy sexual relationship in marriage, how to deal with public scrutiny, and what practical steps someone can take if they want to commit or recommit to a life of purity today. Whether you are single, dating, engaged, or married, this episode is for you! It is a reminder that shame doesn’t get the last word for anybody.

The Power of Prayer with Madison Prewett Troutt 24.02.2026 38мин

What does a vibrant prayer life really look like? In this episode, Madi Prewett Troutt sits down with Candace to talk about one of the most powerful yet often intimidating aspects of faith: prayer. Fresh from a Unite event where thousands of college students gathered for worship and baptisms, Madi shares her journey from feeling awkward praying for an hour to craving even more time with God. This conversation gets real about the practical side of prayer—how to start when you don't know what to say, why it sometimes feels like you're talking to an empty room, and what to do when life gets so busy that prayer becomes an afterthought. Candace and Madi both vulnerably share where they are in their own prayer journeys, offering encouragement that prayer isn't about having perfect words or the right formula. Whether you're recommitting to prayer after a season of drifting, navigating the challenges of a new life stage, or feeling spiritually attacked when you're pursuing God most faithfully, this episode will meet you right where you are. You'll walk away with actionable steps to deepen your connection with God and a fresh perspective on why prayer is worth prioritizing, even when it feels hard. If you've ever wondered how to make prayer less intimidating and more intimate, or if you're ready to move from discipline to delight in your time with God, this conversation is for you.

How Far Is Too Far? Breaking Patterns That Keep You Stuck 03.02.2026 35мин

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.
