Season 14 Is Coming and Francis Chan Is Joining Candace for All of It
Candace Cameron Bure is back with a preview of what Season 14 has in store, and it opens with a question she wants every listener to sit with: do you really believe that God loves you?
Not in a surface-level, Sunday school kind of way. Really believes it, in a way that changes how you live, how you see yourself, and how you move through hard seasons.
Introducing Francis Chan
To explore that question, Candace brought in someone she has known and respected for years: Francis Chan. He is a pastor, a church planter, and the bestselling author of Crazy Love, and this season he is stepping into the guest host chair for six full weeks. His newest book, Beloved, digs into the depths of God’s love in a way Candace describes as genuinely life-changing.
When Francis walked onto the set, he looked around and immediately texted his wife: “This is the girliest set I’ve ever been in.” And yet from the very first moments of their conversation, it is clear there is something serious underneath the laughter. These two share a deep mutual respect, and it comes through immediately.
A Conversation Worth Crying Over
In the teaser clip, Candace barely holds it together, and she is upfront about it. When Francis affirms the way she has stood for her faith publicly over the years, she tears up. When they talk about what they both long for most, they land in the same place: to hear “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
Francis has spent years preaching on holiness, sin, and the weight of judgment, topics he acknowledges many pastors shy away from. But this season, he is leaning into something that he believes goes hand in hand with all of it: the staggering, personal, transforming love of God.
