The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast

God gave us emotions but He doesn’t want our emotions to drive the train of our lives. If God’s will for your life is driving the train, your emotions and thoughts will follow. But if your emotions are driving the train, what happens? In this episode, Candace and Jennie talk about what it looks like to submit your will to Jesus with your day-to-day emotions, taking hold of your emotions, halting your thoughts from spiraling, and the power of speaking your emotions out loud to a trusted community. Emotions are a gift from God but what you choose to do with them is up to you. Will you allow your emotions to drive your train? Listen to this conversation to hear why submitting your emotions you God’s will is the better choice. Connect with Candace and Jennie: Candace on Instagram @candacecbure  Follow the Podcast on Instagram @candacecameronburepodcast  Follow the Podcast on TikTok @ccbpodcast Jennie on Instagram @jennieallen  Grab Jennie’s book: Untangle Your Emotions Listener Question: Stephanie: How do you deal with someone who you aren’t compatible with but can’t avoid them because you live with them and it seems like the only option right now?

What are some things in your day to day life that can pull you toward fear or worry? There are so many reasons or moments in throughout the day that can open the door to those emotions.  “Of course you feel that way” is comforting and validating to every emotion we experience, including fear and worry. We all experience fear and with the world around us, the things we see or read or experience, it is no wonder we feel fearful. But if God is with us (even in our fear), we can experience peace, right? In your fear, there are few questions that can help shift you towards peace, like:   What is my perspective of God?  Do I see God disappointed in my fear or comforting me?  Where am I looking for peace?  When God tells us not to be afraid, it’s because He wants to remind us that we need Him and that He is there for us. He does not scold us in our fear; He comforts us with truth.In this conversation, Candace and Jennie talk about fear – moments in their lives when they walked through fear and worry, how media and social media attribute to our fear, and how fear shifts to peace when your perspective of God changes.

Can you remember the first time you really felt a deep sense of sadness? Looking back on your younger self, what would you say to them now? Sadness isn’t an emotion we always care to admit out loud or bring people into. But the truth is the Bible is full of characters dealing with dark and heavy circumstances; we see all kinds of people – including Jesus – feeling AND expressing their fear, loneliness, and anxiety, while they faithfully pursued God’s heart. In this vulnerable conversation, Candace and Jennie share their earliest memories related to sadness, how depression has impacted their lives, and the pressures we all face to smile through the low times - and just be happy. If you are struggling with depression, or you know someone who is, listen in with grace + compassion. You are not alone, this is for you. Connect with Candace and Jennie: Candace on Instagram @candacecbure  Follow the Podcast on Instagram @candacecameronburepodcast  Follow the Podcast on TikTok @ccbpodcast Jennie on Instagram @jennieallen  Grab Jennie’s book: Untangle Your Emotions Learn more about your ad choices.
