The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast

Do your experiences in life provide clarity as you discover your purpose? YES! Absolutely. Experiences shape your life + character. As you walk through different experiences, not only does your purpose become more clear, but your ability to sit with others during their life journey expands. You can hold hope for others when they feel hopeless and encourage them to the other side of that difficulty. What about hard circumstances? How do they impact your purpose? Sometimes it feels easier to hold onto past situations that were difficult to go through, and are difficult to heal from. But by doing that, ultimately you hold yourself back from all God has for you, and the purpose He has for your life. You can allow your circumstances to shape you, in a positive or negative way. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Heather discuss: Moments in life they can look back on and see how God used their experiences for a greater purpose Being able to sit with others in hard seasons because of going through difficult seasons How experiences help you hold hope for someone else walking through life The importance of moving forward from your past situations, and not allowing them to hold you back from your future Head to Candace.com to download the FREE guide, and to order Heather’s latest book, Right Where You Belong.

"I want to be like _____ . I wish I had _____ like _____.” Have you ever made statements like those? It is easy to desire to be like someone else or want a quality someone else might have that you do not, but living like someone else is not living out YOUR purpose. Your wiring is unique and God made you with that wiring for a greater reason. When it comes to discovering your purpose, looking at your gifts and talents, strengths and weaknesses is the best place to start. Putting your energy into how you are wired will lead you towards discovering your identity and embracing your purpose. If you don’t use your wiring to fuel your purpose, you are only half-living. And using your gifts will encourage others to discover theirs, and live their life on purpose and with a purpose. So … be you, and live your life through your unique wiring! In this episode, you will hear Candace and Heather discuss: Strengths + weaknesses; why they matter to how you are wired How discovering your gifts and talents will help you discover your purpose Being mislabeled and how that can sometimes be labeled a “problem” but is how you are wired Feeling like you are sitting on the bench in life, and not part of the game but how cheering others on (or sitting on the bench) serves great purpose Head to Candace.com to download the FREE guide, and to order Heather’s latest book, Right Where You Belong.

Did you know that Candace once moved 18 times in 12 years? It can be challenging to establish new roots, build community, and find purpose when you are constantly moving. But one thing we can ALL do wherever we find ourselves is this: find purpose in it. Embrace the places in front of you; the ones you physically find yourself standing in every day. Whether that is inviting people into your home, helping your neighbors, talking to the mom pushing her stroller, or living life with others. When you show up to those places, you will discover your purpose. Because God wants to use YOUR places for His purpose. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Heather discuss: Where they grew up and how that shaped who they are. Embracing places right in front of you and seeing them as valuable How inviting people into your home and living your life in front of others is the best witness you can be Head to Candace.com to download the FREE guide, and to order Heather’s latest book, Right Where You Belong.

Picture this: you sit down with your spouse or family after a long day.. They’re all talking about their day, but you don’t hear a word. You are glazed over and your mind is elsewhere. Sound familiar? Being present isn’t always easy. But it is valuable. If we can become more aware of being present, then we give room for God to use us to occupy the spaces and places we are in. Time is a complex concept to understand and grasp but there is SUCH significance to this moment, right now, where you find yourself in life. There is a great purpose in the season you find yourself in. We see our life in little chunks of time. God sees the full picture; our full timeline. Do we trust Him with that timeline? God will use the spaces you occupy to build your character and expand your perspective. You may have heard this famous quote before: How you spend your minutes is how you spend your life. Our challenge in this episode is this: are you stewarding your time well? Let’s dive in. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Heather discuss: The complexity of time and the how we see time versus how God sees time What time has to do with occupying your God-given space and finding purpose Moments in their life that carry significant meaning in the overall timeline of their lives The value of being present to where you are in your everyday life Head to Candace.com to download the FREE guide, and to order Heather’s latest book, Right Where You Belong.

Have you ever been in a season where you feel stuck? You look around and don’t see success or purpose with where your feet are planted. You don’t feel qualified (or sometimes comfortable) doing what God has called you to do in that season. Success. It is a word that carries individual meaning and can change from season to season of life. But at the end of it all, success comes from a humble place of fully occupying your God-given space. Because it’s not about us, it’s about Him and His purpose. It’s not about us feeling qualified, it’s about who He is and how He works through us to fill the gaps. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Heather discuss: Moments in their life where the “definition of success” changed and how others around them responded to those changes Good advice, bad advice, right advice, and how we ultimately need to listen to God’s direction and wisdom The difference (literally and biblically) between humble and humility Trusting that God is doing something bigger in the assignments He gives you, that are not easy or comfortable Head to Candace.com to download the FREE guide, and to order Heather’s latest book, Right Where You Belong.

We have all struggled at some point to understand God’s will and purpose for our lives. And in different seasons, we may also feel like we are missing out, forgotten or doing less important work than what He has for us. That simply isn’t true! God’s will is at work all the time and He invites us to join Him. We miss out on His will when we don’t accept those invitations. He gives us assignments in life that fulfill His will in our life and in our world. God is inviting you to fulfill His purpose for your life in the assignments He is placing around you. You are not too young, too old, too late, and you don’t need to do it perfectly. You are right where you are supposed to be. If you are in the middle of God’s will, you are never missing out, forgotten, or doing work that is less than. Be faithful with the assignments He gives you because you never know where they will lead you. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Heather discuss: Discovering they were in a magazine together in 1992 and how being faithful to writing brought Heather to where she is today Moments they felt like they missed out on opportunities as they shifted focus from raising careers to raising their children The fear of missing out, feeling forgotten and less important Understanding and finding God’s purpose in the various assignments He calls you to throughout your life What motherhood taught Candace about God’s will and purpose for her life Do you ever feel like you are trying to figure everything out and don’t even know where to start?

Picture this: you are at a symphony and the musicians begin playing. But something sounds off, and you quickly realize that everyone is playing the same instrument and following the same note pattern. That wouldn’t be the most beautiful piece of music you listen to, right? Because what makes a symphony so beautiful is all the different instruments playing together using different melodies, harmonies, and notes that create a song. The same can be said about the body of Christ. We are all part of the body of Christ; but if we all had the same gifts, talents, and skills we would be a robot instead of a body. Within the body of Christ we are all called to one mission: be like Jesus. What does it mean to “be like Jesus?” Jesus said that we demonstrate Him to the world by loving people like He loves people. And the way He loved people was scandalous. It was counter cultural. He loved everyone as they were; including the people who were different from Him, enemies to the land He walked, and even the outcasts. He calls us to be a bridge builder to everyone; including those who are different from us. The best part is that there is always something we can learn from someone who doesn’t see the same way we do. It shouldn’t stop us from loving them well. This conversation wraps up Season 1 with Candace and Tara-Leigh Cobble, but there is a BONUS episode available for those who purchase a ticket to the live event on February 16 (whether in person or via livestream). You can still grab a ticket and get the bonus episode! In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss: Tara-Leigh’s favorite site in Israel (it’s not what you would expect!). What it means to be like Jesus and how we can be more like Him by loving others well. Moments in scripture where Jesus loved others in ways that were counter cultural. Being a Christian and what keeps them coming back, despite experiencing wounds from others. Scripture Memory of the Season: 1 John 5:1-6 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him. This is how we know that we love God’s children; when we love God and obey His commands. For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands. And His commands are not a burden, because everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith. Who is the one who conquers the world, but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? Jesus Christ--he is the one who came by water and blood, not by water only, but by water and by blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

We are created in the image of God. We are recreated through the Holy Spirit at work within us to become more like Jesus. Simply put, we are born again; we are transformed. Our desire to be more like Jesus can only come from God because we cannot change our heart, only He can. God uses His Word, the Spirit, and those around us to reveal more of who He is to us, so that we can become more like Jesus. Are there people in your life God uses to show you who He is? Maybe it’s a friend who, while walking through a really hard season, exudes unexplainable joy. Or maybe it’s through a conversation with someone at the grocery, who displays kindness toward you. Tara-Leigh and Candace hope that through this episode you continue to hunger after a relationship with God AND that He drops people in your life that reveal more of who He is to you. May He bring Debbie’s into your garage door to bring your cookies (you have to listen to understand!). In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss: Being born again is not a weird thing, it is a spiritual transformation that God does within us so we can be more like Jesus. How the Word, the Spirit, and people in our life work to show us more of who God is. People in their lives who showed them more of who God is, and how it has shaped their faith. Scripture Memory of the Season: 1 John 5:1-6 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him.

Have you prayed for something and God said no? We all have (if we are honest). We have all prayed for something or someone, and the outcome is not what we wanted or expected. The truth is, if when we come to God with our prayers and expect Him to work the outcome in the way we want, we treat God like He is a vending machine. Prayer isn’t transactional, it is relational. It isn’t about getting what we want, it’s about getting God. Sometimes we get a no, that is true. But that does not mean that God is displeased with you. His no is often the kindest possible answer He can give to you. Throughout the Bible, we see God say no to heroes of the faith; David, Paul, and even Jesus. But look at how God not only blessed them, but used them. So if you get a no from God, you are in good company. Join Candace and Tara-Leigh as they share vulnerable moments about their life through this conversation around prayer and hearing no from God. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss: The difference between a transactional prayer and a relational prayer. When Jesus got a no from the Father and how important that moment is to understand when it comes to your prayer life and relationship with Him. How no is often God’s kindest possible answer, and often the answer we are grateful for in hindsight. What the landscape of Candace’s prayers look like. The moment that Candace recognized divorce was a no from God (through an honest conversation with her kids). Scripture Memory of the Season: 1 John 5:1-5 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him. This is how we know that we love God’s children; when we love God and obey His commands. For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands.

Prayer is a conversation with God that He desires to have with us. He is never too busy for us, never bothered by our requests or prayers, and certainly is not bored when we talk to Him. When we pray, God is always there, always listening, and always receiving. Prayer is a place where all 3 persons of The Trinity are at work. When we pray, we are talking to the Father, through Jesus (because of the connection He made possible for us), and the Holy Spirit is empowering us in and through prayer. Two common questions people ask when it comes to prayer are: How do I pray? Why do I need to pray to God when He knows everything? In today’s episode, Candace and Tara-Leigh dig into those two questions, and more. If you don’t know how to pray or feel like you aren’t good at praying, or you feel like you don’t understand why prayer matters – take a breath and rest easy. Let’s go on this journey together! In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss: Prayer as a conversation with the Trinity and how that perspective of prayer will challenge the way we pray. How prayer can be taught or developed; it is a skill Jesus taught His disciples and can teach us too. What “in Jesus name, Amen” actually means and the power it carries when we pray. Moments in their lives where they have seen their prayers answered (in ways they desired and in ways they did not expect). Tips for listening and meditating in silence with God; it may be difficult but it is powerful. Scripture Memory of the Season: 1 John 5:1-5 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him.

God’s never going to give you more than you can handle” – it is really easy to look at punchy one-liners like this one on social media and take them as the whole truth. But do you measure them against God’s word before you take them as the whole truth? The Spirit calls us to use The Word as a measuring stick for truth. He is our guide and gives us wisdom as we walk through life. The Spirit is meant to bring clarity to us and teach us. All throughout scripture, the Spirit clarifies who Jesus is and points back to the truth (the Son and the Father) teaching us how to be more like Him. Colossians 3 says to put on attributes like kindness, compassion, patience, gentleness, and more). It is not easy to do everyday, but it is a choice we make everyday day. And if we practice it enough it becomes a habit. By surrendering to the Spirit’s work in us, He will enable us to walk in those attributes, lean into His wisdom, and walk in His Spirit. The Spirit produces the fruit in us but that takes time. The more time you spend with the Spirit, the more you are nourished and grow. When we get frustrated that we don’t feel we are growing it is easy to be discouraged and bow out. But God is still at work within you. Don’t lose hope. He is developing the fruit in you. Be patient with yourself; He is patient with you. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss: The importance of measuring everything against the Word of God. How we are unified as the body of Christ because of The Spirit. Learning from others with different opinions is healthy for you and your faith. Why kindness is so important to Candace and the story behind her book “Kind Is The New Classy” The Fruit of the Spirit – and how it is ONE fruit with 9 attributes, not 9 different fruits. The difference between a transactional and relational partnership with the Spirit. Scripture Memory of the Season: 1 John 5:1-4 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him. This is how we know that we love God’s children; when we love God and obey His commands. For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands.

Who is the Holy Spirit? This is such a common question that is asked when it comes to fully understanding The Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the most mysterious (and sometimes confusing) within the triad. Before Jesus went back to Heaven, He said “I am sending the Spirit who is better than me.” Better than Jesus? That doesn’t sound right. But it is. The Holy Spirit is not a force or power used by God. He is a person who has responsibilities and characteristics that help guide us through life. And Jesus knew we needed Him. Candace and Tara-Leigh sit down and dive into the mystery of The Holy Spirit in hopes of helping us understand who He is and how He works in us. They also share personal stories from their faith journey; and Candace talks about the time her husband baptized her in the ocean (grab your tissues! It’s a beautiful story). As you listen to this conversation, we hope you are inspired to take your relationship with God deeper through The Holy Spirit. Did you know you can read your Bible in ONE year just by reading for 12 minutes a day? That makes studying God’s word more, seem possible. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss: Building good habits (especially with reading and studying your Bible). The moment Candace began to understand and desire to read the Bible. Who The Holy Spirit is and how He fits into The Trinity. Baptism; what it is and why it is important to your walk with Jesus. Scripture Memory of the Season: 1 John 5:1-4 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him. This is how we know that we love God’s children; when we love God and obey His commands. For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands.

Candace is BACK with Tara-Leigh Cobble to continue their conversation on the connection between God and Jesus (pssst … He is still the same person) Think about this: if Jesus were not God, but was just a man, how would that change the way you live? You likely may stop seeing Jesus as Divine and see as a man who was a bit crazy at times; as a man who ran around claiming to be God, the fulfillment of the Old Testament. And you likely would not place as much weight into what He says or how He guides you. Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss that the idea that God of the Universe, who created everything, came to us in human form to save us. God desires a relationship with us and he wants us to flourish in life. He sent His son so that we could flourish. Everything that Jesus teaches us is for our joy, our thriving, and our flourishing. And when we live life knowing HIs love for us and how much He cares for us, that will pour out onto those around us. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss: Why the birth of Jesus is just as important as the death of Jesus The moments in the New Testament where Jesus revealed Himself and moments He did not, and why He chose to withhold who He was to certain groups. A moment in Candace’s life where she had to push through her anger and lean into Christ-like humility. What Dancing With The Stars taught Candace about how much God picks us up and guides us through hard seasons. Scripture Memory of the Season: 1 John 5:1-3 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him. This is how we know that we love God’s children; when we love God and obey His commands. For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands. Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever read through the Old Testament and thought, “Oh mylanta! I cannot wait for Jesus to show up. These stories are hard to read.” What if we told you that Jesus was just as present in those stories as He was in the miracles of the New Testament? Many people (including Christians) believe that Jesus didn’t arrive on the scene until His recorded birth in the gospels. But that simply isn’t true. Jesus has always existed, He wasn’t created by God. He played an integral role in Creation and was present through every moment of history. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss: Which translations of the Bible are most accurate to the original text. Understanding how Jesus is God which means Jesus always existed and was not created by God. Their bucket list; what they have done and what they still wish to do in life. Scripture Memory of the Season: 1 John 5:1-3 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him. This is how we know that we love God’s children; when we love God and obey His commands. For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands.

God is a GOOD Father who is never disappointed in you *gasp* He is grieved by our sins, but never disappointed. Because to be disappointed He has to be let down by an unmet expectation, and He has no expectations of us. When we sin, God does not run from us, He runs to us and dwells with us. The whole point of the Bible is God’s love story to us and His goodness + kindness are reflected all throughout it. And He funnels who He is through The Trinity. In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss: The fear of God and how it consists of delight and awe – it draws us to Him, not from Him. Why it is important to draw closer to God in seasons of trial AND abundance. How God's kindness and attention to detail reflects just how GOOD of a Father He is. Scripture Memory of the Season: 1 John 5:1-2 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him.

God is both Creator and Father – this speaks to how relational He is; we aren’t just His creations. We are His children. He was Father before He was Creator. Do you see Him as your Father?
