    How Do you Want To Be Remembered?

    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?

    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!

    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?

    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?

    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.  Connect with Candace and Francis  Candace on Instagram @candacecbure  Follow the Podcast on Instagram @candacecameronburepodcast  Follow the Podcast on TikTok @ccbpodcast Francis on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/DWT8kswCPMj/ Francis on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@CrazyLoveMinistries Website: https://www.crazylove.org/ Sponsors For This Episode Lovebird lovebirdfoods.com/bure and use code BURE for 25% off IFCJ ifcj.com Vanman vanman.shop/bure and use code BURE for 15% off GCU gcu.edu Learn more about your ad choices.

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

    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.
