  Speaker 1: Candice, thank you.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited to have you on the show and
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: to walk with you. I know you do so many
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: kind of prayer walks in nature. All your fans love that.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: So thanks for having me. First, I got to start
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: with the Special Forces.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yes.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Tell me about this because I saw a trailer and
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: you were in it. It looks like it was totally crazy.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Were you prepared for what was about to happen?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: I can't believe I said yes to the show myself,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: but- You know what? I turned 50 this year. Wow.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: And I really upped my fitness game in the last
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: year and a half because of my age. I just
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: want to go into this new decade with a gusto,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: you know?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, that's the way to do it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I want to say yes to the things that scare me.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: So I'm just representing all the women in perimenopause, menopause,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: like trying to do hard things.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Tell me about being in these moments where, I mean,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: you must have been... exhausted I know you were like
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: physically ill for parts of this whole thing did you
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: ever have a moment where you really thought I don't
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: know if I can do this I imagine you probably
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: leaned on.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Your faith there's only so much physically you can prepare
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: for it's just a short window and I had to
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: prepare mentally but most of all spiritually for me and
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I memorized a lot of scripture before I I even
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: started the show because I knew I was going to
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: have to draw upon that to remind myself that, you know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: God doesn't give me a spirit of fear.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: He gives me a spirit of power and of love
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and of a sound mind. And I reminded myself, like.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Josh in Joshua, that he says, Candace, don't be afraid.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Be courageous for the Lord your God is with you
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: wherever you go. So I was just lots of scripture
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: on constant repeat for me.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And listen, it was helpful because you did and you
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: can tell the tale on the other side of it, right?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: You did have an eclectic group of people there. Yeah.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: So when I saw, when I heard about the cast,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I said, I wonder going into it, when you got
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: to this location and you saw all these people here,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you were gonna be in the trenches with. Was there
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: anyone that you kind of questioned, I wonder how this
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: is gonna be?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there were actually a lot of people I wasn't
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: even familiar with because I don't watch reality television, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I knew it was gonna be interesting. I found Oliver
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Hudson right away who I knew and have worked with.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: So I grabbed ahold of him. I'm like, you gotta
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: be my buddy. You gotta help me out here. Oh
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: my gosh.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, being out here in nature and being
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: in this beautiful vineyard, you are so known for prayer
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: walks and your spirituality and your faith. And it's something
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: that I think you have kind of bucked the trend.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: You have been so forward with your faith. I'm curious
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: if there was ever anyone in your past who said,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you know what, maybe you want to downplay that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Maybe, maybe in Hollywood, it's not a great thing to
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: be out front with it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you kind of hear that all the time, you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: but my core people have never said that to me,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: whether that be my husband, my parents, my brother and sisters,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: even the people that represent me, my managers, they've never
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: said that to me. But I've heard it along the
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: way because I've been canceled from shows. I've been taken
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: off bookings because I talk too much about my faith
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: or I'm polarizing in their words.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But you know what?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: If I didn't talk about it, I wouldn't be authentic
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: to me and who I am. And my faith has
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: been a part of me and important to me since
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I was a little girl. So I'm never going to
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: stop talking about it. Then I would just stop talking
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: about all the things that make me who I am.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I think you're giving other people the courage in moments.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe it has to do with their faith or other
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: things to stand up for what they believe in. Have
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you always felt that ability to do that? Or were
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: you ever scared at any time?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm scared all the time. All the time.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: This is why I don't want fear to rule my life.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: And I really have seen over the years that God
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: always shows up. He is my strength in my weakness.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: And so I just am obedient and say, yes, I'll
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: do something, whether that's showing up on a stage, whether
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: that's sharing the gospel with someone, whether it's going on
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: special forces. I just say yes, because it allows me
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: to see what God is going to do with a
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: situation that I'm super fearful about.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Speaking of faith, Candice, I think what's been very interesting
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to watch because we've seen a resurgence of faith, especially
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: with young men in America. You're a mom, you raised
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: three beautiful kids. Give me your take on where you
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: think this is going. Do you think that the younger
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: generation is going to pick this back up?
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I really do. I mean, I see it in
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: my own children, which is amazing. One of my sons
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: is a pastor, part-time, you know, loves the word of God.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: And But we do see, we've seen it in colleges,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: college campuses everywhere, kids getting baptized and really seeking out
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: their faith. Because I really believe we're in a time
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: right now where everything is available to them.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And they're trying everything.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: They're seeking out and yet nothing is satisfying.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely nothing. And so they're kind of going back to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the core of like, what? What has stood the test
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: of time for generations?
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: And what is it that people who feel grounded in
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the kind of life where I want to focus, I
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: don't want.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Everything going so, so fast.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I think they're even getting tired of how convenient everything is.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: It's like they want something different.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: You know, it's it's really found in God and in
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the heart and the hope that he provides.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: And I think something meaningful, too.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Whenever it seems like everything feels very empty and transactional.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: There's so much meaning in a connection with God. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering from your perspective, do you feel like Hollywood
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: maybe underestimated the American people's appetite for faith based movies
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and shows and really going back to traditional values? Because
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I think people are really engaged in that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, they are.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: And numbers have proven it. And cable stations and streaming services,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: they've proven it with numbers. I mean, people show up,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: even in theaters, they show up for family-friendly films and
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: films that have core values.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And so, yeah, I think.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Hollywood missed it for a long time, but I think
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: they realize it now and it's profitable. So they're making it,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: which we're grateful for. But You know, it's incredible to
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: be behind and teaming up with the heart of a
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: lot of people who have a heart behind it, you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: doing it for people. not just the profit, but to
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: put something good out into the world.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: With the recent tragic death of Hayden Panettiere, you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: there's been a conversation about, you know, young actors and
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: kids in Hollywood. And for you, I know you were
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: so young whenever you were on all of our TV screens,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: you probably didn't get the traditional childhood. I don't know
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: what your take is on that or really what you
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: think maybe needs to be done to protect these kids
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: who are you know, are part of this industry.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of us that had great
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: experiences growing up in Hollywood, really. And I always attribute
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: that to grounded parents, parents that are, that are seeking
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: their child's wellbeing and not stardom. I think that is
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: the start of making the difference. But it's, It's always
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: about the people you're surrounded with. And it's really easy
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: to get duped in Hollywood. People, I mean, they're good actors, right?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: And so they're telling you what you want to hear.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: They're promising protection. And then it doesn't always turn out
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: that way. And so it's important to have trusted people
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: or be able to listen to people that you may
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: not know but believe are trusted sources.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Candice, I know the kind of next thing you have
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: coming up is that you're going to be traveling across
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the country. You're going to be kind of on tour.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: You're going to be out there meeting people all across America.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: What can people expect?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: A fun two hours.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: It's like a girl's night sharing faith and women's health.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: And.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Some nostalgia too, but this is just, it's geared towards
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: women and I'm kind of, it's kind of like taking
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: my podcast on the road.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: What about future plans? I feel like you keep yourself busy.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: It feels like you're nonstop, but what else is coming
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: up for you? Anything?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I have a couple of Christmas movies coming out this
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: year on great American family channel. And I have another
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: mystery movies. I have a mystery series and a podcast
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: that talks all about a biblical worldview and faith and.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: And I have grandkids on the way. That's the biggest,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: most exciting thing in the world. That's awesome. When does
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that happen? In just a few months.
