   Candace sits down with Collin Gosselin, her Special Forces Season 5 castmate, who was on TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 from age three to 11. He describes what he calls “scripted happiness:” crews bringing out puppies or ice cream, then taking them away once filming stopped. He remembers telling his mom at eight or nine that he didn’t want to do it anymore, and he credits Colleen, his father’s partner for about eight years, as the mother figure he needed. Lees meer

   After joining the Marines, Collin was about a week and a half from the final boot camp test when he was told he’d be kicked out over mental health diagnoses he traces to an Instagram post from his mom. He paid for a full psychological evaluation that came back clean, and talks about leaning on prayer through it.

   Candace shares how her parents kept acting her choice, and they discuss Collin’s memoir and his push to protect kids on reality TV and social media. They close with Vivian’s listener question about communicating with siblings who all have different communication styles.

   Collin’s memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood, is available now. Watch Collin and Candace on Special Forces Season 5, with new episodes Thursdays at 6:00 Pacific, 9:00 PM Eastern on Fox and past episodes on Hulu.

   Retired NBA forward and 2017 champion Matt Barnes, who bunked three spots from Candace on Special Forces, sits down with her to talk about the childhood that shaped him and the faith that found him.

   Matt grew up in the ’80s around drugs and violence, then moved from San Jose to Sacramento at eight and ran into racism for the first time. As a high school senior, he defended his little sister, was suspended, and saw his family threatened badly enough that they had to move. He also talks about losing his mom, his “rock,” 26 days after her cancer diagnosis.

   After his infidelity ended his relationship with Anansa early in 2025, Matt dug up an old invitation from a friend and showed up at church by himself, hiding in the back row. A few months later he invited Anansa to come with him, and on New Year’s Eve they married. He and Candace also talk about raising seven kids with love instead of tough love, and why he joined Special Forces to test his mind.

   Earlier this year, Candace flew to Malaysia to film Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, which she calls the hardest thing she has ever done, physically, mentally, and spiritually. In Season 19, her castmates join her to talk about what it took to get through the jungle and a taste of what military veterans go through.

   Guests include NBA champion Matt Barnes, Olympic figure skater Maxim Naumov, Collin Gosselin, world champion boxer Alycia Baumgardner, and Baywatch star David Charvet, plus a surprise guest who shares how he came to faith after the hardest season of his life. In the preview, Candace tells Maxim that being paired with someone who shares her son’s name and age felt like a God wink, and she describes Matt as gentle and kind.

   The cast also talks about coming home to real toilets, air conditioning, and no bugs. One castmate remembers seeing Candace reading her Bible. And the conversation returns to something the jungle made plain: fame and money don’t make us happy, but helping others and watching them change does.

   Season 19 launches Tuesday, October 27th. Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season five is on FOX and Hulu. Sign up at candace.com for email updates so you don’t miss a conversation.

   In the final episode of her podcast series with Annie F. Downs, Candace and Annie land on that question after Annie describes an afternoon alone at the Met. Standing before a 200-year-old portrait of three friends, she realized the men in it no longer get to worry, decide, or hope, and that every hard thing still ahead of her is something only the living get to carry.

   From there they talk about gratitude that doesn’t deny the hard things in life. Annie holds real sadness, a painful change at one of the companies she runs, in the same hand as something small and good like a golden kiwi or a Sumo orange. She and Candace also get honest about choosing a new season without a clear sign from God, and Annie's plan to close her company for a three-month Sabbath in 2027.

   Annie shares the two-degree change she learned in counseling, the small decisions that redirect a life over time. Candace and Annie also answer listener questions from Coley on staying happy, Callie on healthy friendships, and Christina on staying motivated through a hard winter.

   Find more from Candace at candace.com, where you can grab the free downloadable quiz from Annie's new book, Don't Let That Hold You Back, and join the Together community.

   Annie's book Remember God and her Advent study for single women go even deeper on much of what they talk about here.

5. When You’ve Done Everything and You’re Still Waiting

   What do you do when you’ve prayed, worked, asked, and knocked, and the door still hasn’t opened? Lees meer

   Candace sits down with Annie F. Downs for one of their last conversations of the season, built around the part of Annie’s new book that she kept bumping into as she wrote it: you can do everything right, and there are still no promises for how your life will turn out. Candace knows the temptation to always be in control, the hope that A plus B will equal C, and the feeling of quiet disappointment when it doesn’t. Together they ask what it looks like to keep living a full life while you wait.

   Annie talks about her years of waiting to be married before she married JW at 44, the counseling, the dating coaches, the matchmaker, and the belief that a little more money would finally fix it.

   Candace shares more stories about her own years at home with her kids, a season she was fully committed to even as other dreams waited, and the growth in her relationship with God that prepared her to return to work with different eyes. They keep coming back to the same question: can you find fulfillment in what you have while you wait for what you want, and can you be grateful for the basket you’re holding while wishing there were more fruit in it? Annie shares the picture of a wrung-out washcloth that she wrote about in “Stay Tuned,” her advent devotional for single women.

   Candace and Annie also answer several listener questions: from a young mom looking for real friendship, from a girl who wonders if her crush on a guy is crowding out her focus on God, from a new believer married to a husband who doesn’t share her faith, and from a listener asking how to find a friend who won’t be judgmental.

   Candace and Annie F. Downs turn to the part of Annie’s book that Annie kept bumping into while writing it: you can do everything right and still not get what you hoped for when you want it.

   Annie talks about the counseling, the dating coaches, the matchmaker, and the belief that more money or a different city would change things. She met her husband, JW, at 44, and says she wouldn’t trade the wait now.

   Candace looks back on the years she stayed home with her kids, a season she says grew her faith and shaped how she sees her work today. Together they come back to one question: can we be grateful for the basket we’re holding while still wishing there was more fruit in it? Annie shares a wrung-out washcloth picture and the words she believes God gave her: this is only a season!

   Listener questions cover finding friends as a 21-year-old mom, a crush that crowds out time with God, a marriage where only one spouse believes, and finding a friend who won’t judge.

   Annie’s free downloadable discovery quiz from Don’t Let That Hold You Back is at candace.com, where you can also sign up for email updates. You can join the Together community at candace.com/together for private podcast discussion, monthly challenges, and encouragement from other listeners.

   The kind of person who you felt instantly safe with, even though you didn’t know them? What would it be like if that’s how people described you? Candace and Annie talk through what it means to be the aroma of Christ everywhere you go, including a moment at a Dairy Queen, and what courage looks like when it shows up in your everyday life rather than one dramatic moment.

   They open with a listener question about emotional eating, and Candace shares what her counselor taught her about naming why she reaches for food and refusing to keep secrets around it, and this episode closes with a listener question from Janice about holding onto faith through repeated hard seasons.

   Have you ever tried to get something back to how it used to be, but discovered that God had something different in mind? Lees meer

   Candace and Annie continue Season 18 with a deep dive based on Annie’s new book “Don't Let That Hold You Back.”

   Annie walks through the difference between something being stolen, something being killed, and something being destroyed, and what it looks like to ask God to restore each one. Candace opens up deeply about the season a few years ago when her own character was attacked and destroyed unfairly, and what it took to rebuild it with the people around her.

   They also answer two listener questions: what it’s like to stay content in singleness, and how one listener is processing grief after losing her husband. Annie shares how she learned to fall in love with the life she had while she waited for marriage, and what it means to live in your “not yet” with hope.

   Have you ever noticed how differently your life feels when your identity is tied to your work instead of to God? Lees meer

   Candace opens Season 18 with her friend Annie F. Downs, best-selling author and host of the podcast That Sounds Fun, talking through her new book, Don't Let That Hold You Back.

   Annie shares the story behind her first book, the string of rejections that led her to step away from writing for two years, and what she learned about separating her identity from her career. She and Candace walk through the difference between what has been stolen, killed, and destroyed in a person's life, a distinction Annie draws from the writer of John's account of the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. They talk honestly about fear, including the whispers of fear neither of them has ever fully outrun.

   Candace also opens up about a business meltdown and the call she made to Annie in the middle of it. The episode closes with two listener questions: how to stop being afraid of hearing God's voice, and what each of them would do differently if they could go back.

   You can find a free quiz from Annie's book at candace.com, where you can also sign up for email and text updates and ask questions for future episodes. Join the Together community at candace.com/together for Bible studies and a prayer chain.

10. Breaking Free From Body Comparison

    Have you ever caught yourself talking to your own body like it’s your enemy instead of your friend? Lees meer

    In this Greatest Hits episode, Candace revisits her Season 9 conversations with her daughter, Natasha, and Allie Schnacky from the series Girls Under Pressure. Together, they talk honestly about the pressures young women face today, starting with dating: the family rule that kept Allie from dating until she was 18, the sports car analogy her dad used to motivate her, and why Natasha never wanted to call someone her boyfriend until she saw a real future with him.

    From there, the conversation turns to body image—the comparisons both women trace back to elementary school, the way beauty standards keep shifting, and why moving your body is so important for your mind. Candace shares a dream she had while working through some hard things in therapy and gets vulnerable about the way she has treated her body throughout her career.

    Candace also answers a new listener question from Susan, who asks about nutrition for someone in her 50s who already works out and leads a pretty active lifestyle.

    You can hear the full Season 9 conversations with Natasha and Allie Schnacky wherever you listen to podcasts and on YouTube. For weekly show notes and encouragement, sign up at Candace.com.
