Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, everyone, you are listening to the Tutor Dixon Podcast,
and this is going to be an episode where I'm
sort of gonna gush and be weird because we have
Candace Cameron Beret on and she is like a fan
favorite in our house for sure. If you don't know,
she's DJ Tanner from full House and Fuller House and
we love you so thank you for coming on today.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh thanks, it's a pleasure to be on, and thank
you for that very sweet introduction.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
But I mean it really is to us.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's so precious to be able to talk to you
because you are not only a great role model, but
you are a great role model in life. My girls
go to Christian school. It's really important to me that
they have good Christian role models. And really, even though
that wasn't like a real common theme in full House
and Fuller House, the values were so strong.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It was such an amazing gift to all of us.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, you know, the show itself, do was a gift
to me, not just to be on a television show.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
But you never know.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
When you're an actor, especially a child actor, and you're
auditioning for the next thing and you're hoping you get
a part on something. And never did I think that not.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Only would I be.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
On this television show that would run for eight long years,
but one that would never be off the air over
thirty five years. I mean, it's never been off the air,
and one that carries such deep family values to it.
And that's really why this show has stood the test
of time because all of the things that were on
(01:42):
the show, they don't change. Even as the years change,
it doesn't change much in raising kids and what just
parenting with good values. So to be a part of
something so special, not it shaped me, of course, but
it feels so good to be a part of it.
So I love when people are still loving and watching
(02:02):
the show.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I will always be grateful. So we watched Fuller House
the girls. My girls watch Fullerhouse and then they were like,
wait a minute, we have to watch the how it
all started.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
They're bridge and aal full House.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
So then we had to kind of like go through
all these different channels to make sure we watched as
many as we possibly could.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
But that had but that had to have been.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It had been an interesting time to come out with
a show where three men were helping together to raise
kids because it was really a strong message that dads
are so important.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Oh yeah, it really was.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It was a very unconventional show at the time it
premiered in nineteen eighty seven, So yeah, it really was
about that not all families have a mom and a dad,
and you know, in this case, the mom had passed
away and he gets his buddy and his uncle to
come help raise them.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
But those were the.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Strengths of the show in why and also why they
related to so many people over the years, because there's
lots of kids that whether they're adopted or their grandparents
are raising them, or aunts and uncles are raising them,
families look very different and can look different, and it
was just a support.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Group for a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, I mean I think even now, like you said,
it passes the test of time because even now as
a parent, I think it's interesting to me to have
watched it as a kid, and now as a parent
you see all the lessons that you didn't realize you
were getting as a kid. What was it like to
be the kid in that show? How is that different
from your home life? I mean, because I think growing
(03:40):
up we're all wondering what's it like to be a child?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Actor. You have kind of two families.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, that's true, you do you know, our full house
family was very much a real family.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
We still are today, and so it was a beautiful.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Full family to be a part of. And it felt
different enough as a kid being on TV because even
though I was going to work every day, it's like
I was I'm the baby of my real family. I'm
the baby of four and here I got to be
the big sister of two other two sisters.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And I know know all it all just it was
a great experience. It was wonderful.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
We had such good people on the show, and so
I look back with fond memories. Again, grateful for the
messages that the show had. But that was just my life.
I kind of don't know how to that's true it
to someone else's because those are my experiences. It's what
I know, and they were all happy and positive.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So for that, I'm really grateful you Your brother was
on TV as well at the same time, right, Yes,
was there any competition?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
There No no competition at all. I kind in the
weirdest way. I just thought, oh, this is what happens
to every family. If your actors you were on a
TV show, So my brother was on one, I was
on one. I didn't realize kind of how lucky we were,
and that doesn't happen very often.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Maybe I think of Jason Bateman and Justine Bateman.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
They were probably the other sibling duo that were on
television shows.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
At the same time.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But it was it was pretty special, but no real competition.
When we would come home from work, Like my brother
was just my big brother and I was the little
sister and we we left work at work, it was
all about family because we have two sisters in between,
and you know, it was about doing homework and chores
and family life.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That's so interesting. So you now have this massive staying power. Obviously,
we talked about the fact that there was fulling a
Fuller house and it was the same I mean, the
same people came back, which I thought was amazing.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
How often does that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
First of all, it doesn't very often happen that you
have a sequel of a series that works so well.
But it was very I mean, so it just drew
us in. But you have this massive staying power I
think with women and like I said, with my girls,
with kids, because we look up to you and we
see you as this really powerful figure.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You're going on your first tour.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Tell us how that came about and what you hope
to accomplish.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I know I feel like I should.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I should be a musician or a communion and have
great jokes or sing you a song. But you know what,
I absolutely love connecting with the audience. And I think
that stems from being on Full House because we taped
in front of a live audience every week. And I
love social media for that reason because I like to
(06:40):
connect with people. And I have had this a podcast now,
the Cannas Hammonburry Podcast, where we deep dive on these
topics that like parenting or the Bible, and we spend
a lot of time and have deep conversations. And what
my takeaway from that is learning from the audience not
(07:01):
only what's resonating, but are where the problems and where
can we find solutions and where can I help guide people?
And so that interaction has been amazing and I thought,
how can we expand that And the way for me
to take it is to actually connect in person with people,
and so I thought a live tour would be a
(07:22):
fun idea. I think like a girl's night out is
always fun. Although you can bring your husbands, but it's
geared towards women and we're just we're going to have
a great night.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
It's going to be we're gonna have fun games and prizes.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
We're going to talk about full house and full our
house and all that kind of stuff, but we're going
to take it a little bit deeper and talk about
women's health and talk about faith. And I just wanted
a time to be a time of refreshment but really
connection in a selfish way, because for me, it's about
experiencing all of you in a real and tangible way
(07:56):
and not just over the TV screen, the computer screen,
the theater screen, which I enjoy doing too, but I
want to connect with you in real life.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I think I saw you say.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Faith, family and fitnessess faith, and I think, like a
TV family and fitness And then but you also have
this devotional out right now and you've and this isn't
your first, but I wanted to ask you about this one.
It's Rise and Renew and it's a daily devotion. It's
a thirty day journey and it is for people who
feel weighed down by failure, grief, for disappointment. How did
(08:30):
how did you decide that was a critical message to
bring because I do think that right now there is
a lot of there's a lot of people that feel
like they're just not where they need to be, or
they've just experienced a loss something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, well, we're all going to experience grief and loss
in our life. And this, this devotional came out of
the pandemic, It came out of COVID, and I think
a lot of us had experienced not only grief and
loss in that, but also just I think a turning
point in our soul of what is most meaningful and
(09:09):
what gives us hope and what gives us strength.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
And so that's where the devotional came out of.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And I am I mean, I'm a woman who is
I'm going to share my faith and the hope that
I have in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And so
my hope is that in looking through scripture, reading through
the Bible, connecting with God's word and daily over you know,
a few minutes every day really sets your path on.
(09:39):
It sets your day on a path forward with hope.
And that's why I wrote it. And so you know,
I love the Bible. I talk a lot about reading
the Bible. Sharing the Bible and a devotional is an
accompaniment to that, and it's an easy way to incorporate scripture,
but focus specifically on the ones on the verses that
(10:02):
give us hope and strength and know that our worth
and our value come from God, not from our circumstances,
not from the people around us, not from validation from
our job or our work, what we're doing, how much
money we make, It isn't anything like that. And so
this is just part of what I do. I just
(10:22):
do love it.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
This is a moment where you've seen, because we're hearing
so much that young men are coming back into the
church and that where men are really seeking out God,
but it seems like we're still kind of lagging with women.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Is that something that you feel like.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You can kind of propel that revival among women in
this tour and that's what you're hoping to see.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Well, I share hopes, So I hope.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'm just a tiny little cog in the wheel that
plants and other seed. There's hope in Jesus, and I
see a revival of faith.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I think we all do.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
All over the country, especially from very recent events, people
are reevaluating people are looking at the political.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Climate they they.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
See they see something different.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
And the people that.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Have known this, that value their faith are becoming bolder
in their words.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
And my hope really with the tour is to.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Also embolden women to not be shy and to not
take a seat, but to be open about sharing where
hope comes from and about all about Jesus.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I think you're going to find that you're going to
have young women who are very curious, because so we've
been going around Michigan and talking to young women, talking
to groups of young people, and the young women I've
just noticed in the last six months have really started
to step forward and say, I want to say it's
okay to be looking for marriage. And I think, how
(11:50):
did we get to the point where they're taking a
leap to say that, you know, they're afraid to say
that on a college campus, and this idea that they
know that. I mean, we're built for that, We're built
to look for another person. But we have this culture
that's been telling people you don't really need that, but
it's okay to want that and to need that.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yeah, Yeah, it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Is a sad Is it a sad place to see
that women are afraid to say that. And I mean,
I have a daughter that's in her that she just
got married and she's in her twenties. All three of
my kids are in their twenties, and it, you know,
I think every generation will say it feels like a
different time. And this time is almost going back in
(12:36):
time because we've gone so far to the left to
teach that what our real and true values are meaningless
and worthless and they don't matter anymore. We've gotten so
far away from it that now I really do believe
that we're seeing a whole group of young people say, hey,
I want to go back to the way the grandparents
(12:59):
did it, and it feels almost old fashioned to them,
and yet it is the way in which we were
built and made. And so we do need strong voices.
Every generation needs to lead each younger generation. And that's
as we mature and become women. The Bible calls us
to do that, to lead the younger and teach the
(13:20):
younger generation, and so helping be a voice in saying
like it's okay, yes you should value that, want you
that and why why because the Bible says so, And
let me show you where it does. And I think
that's always the best piece of advice, at least that
I've given with my kids in the way that I'm parenting.
(13:40):
That this isn't just what mom says because I believe
it's true and right. It's because God says this. And
let me show you why and where God says it.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Stick around.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
We've got more coming up with Candice Cameron Bray. But
as we talk about health with her, if you are
over fifty and you're worried about your heart health, then
you need to listen to that because there was a
sixteen year study of over thirty thousand people that found
that nato kines. You may have never heard of it before.
It's an ancient Japanese superfood and it's important for you
(14:13):
because it can help reduce your heart attack risk and
improve your cardiovascular health.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Japan knows this.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They have the world's second longest life expectancy because of this.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
They've used this powerful and natural enzyme for thousands of years.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
And you can too now because Lumina Nutrition has perfected
a powerful Nato kines formula of their own. It's made
in the USA, and it's been third party tested for
purity and quality. So by your supplements from a source
you can trust. Luma Nutrition was founded by a former
US Army officer and they are on a mission to

U m N lum A Nutrition dot com. Again, it's
(15:08):
Luma Nutrition dot com, Luma Nutrition dot Com. It's veteran owned,
proudly made in the USA, and it's going to help
your heart.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
So go get it now. Stick around. We've got more
after this.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Is that what you hope that people will get out
of even your books, because I think a lot of
parents are lost in that section of parenting, Like how
do I this is? I'm frustrated because you should be
doing this. This is what the Bible says. But I
don't know exactly how to point all of that out.
I do think that there are a lot of parents
that are like, gosh, I want to know those verses.
(15:44):
I want to know how to have that conversation. Do
you feel like you're bringing that to people?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I do, I really do.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I think that a devotional book is an easy way
to break down parts of the Bible. I don't think
that you should stop at a devotional book. I think
the most important thing is to read the Bible. That's
why it's a good accompaniment. But it's easy and that
you can it's sectioned out into verses, you can easily
reference those things. So I hope that I'm giving tools
(16:11):
to women, but that they based on using a devotional
to see how applicable God's word is and how it
changes hearts and when you pray through it, it it
You know. God can absolutely move mountains. You might not
be able to, but God can. And we understand the
hope in that I couldn't. I wouldn't want to live
(16:33):
a day without it. And so I really do hope
that tools like the devotional will give women easy access
to say, oh, I can do this, and I can
memorize a verse and I can start to understand this,
because that's the biggest place in parenting is starting with yourself.
Because we can talk to our kids all day long,
(16:53):
but if we are not walking the walk, if we
are not practicing what we preach, our words are meaningless
to our children.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I saw you recently say something about you were when
you remembered your mom going through menopause and having a
hot flash. And as you're talking about parenting, I'm thinking
about this because I'm thinking about how your kids are
growing up and they you sometimes forget they don't know
(17:21):
as much as you know. And you pointed out so
well that we are at a different phase in life,
in health and everything than our kids, and that is
also a challenge. I don't know how it is for men,
but I think that for women, you are going through
a different life change.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
And you're trying to parent at the same time. How
do you talk women through that?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Because I thought it was so sweet that you were,
like I look back on that now and go, I
made fun of my mom for having hot flash, and
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Oops, you know, oops do that? Yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I know the things I put my poor mom through
and laughed at her.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It's so sad. And now I'm here and I'm in
it and doing it. But you know, I think that
an area that our country has failed at as a whole,
and maybe the whole world. I don't want to even
blame our country is women's health. When we get into
the middle age of life in our forties and fifties.
(18:17):
I had doctor Tabitha on the podcast, and she's a
triple board certified a medical doctor, obstetrician, gynecologist, and.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
She has was explaining how many in.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
All different ways where the medical field has gotten things wrong,
where they've course corrected, and she's very much into integrative
medicine now but has all of the knowledge from her certifications.
And I just think that there's so many tools out
there for women of our age that my mom didn't have,
(18:56):
and they're finally coming to the forefront, and hopefully we're
going to get more of those things covered by our
medical insurance that are not covered right now to help
women go through middle age and menopause, perimenopause, menopause, all
of those things.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
And so I'm really hopeful.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I am not a doctor, I am That's why I
have knowledgeable people on the podcast to bring us this
information so that we can have a better experience. But
I'm just I'm grateful that a lot of women my
age now are talking about it. And it doesn't matter
whether it's entertainers or a public figure or it's it's
just women. You're a teacher, you're a stay at home mom,
(19:38):
whatever it's we're just talking about it now because we
want to have a better experience and we have the
tools to do that, but not all the information has
been given, so yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Been really taboo. It's like a thing that you shouldn't mention.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
And I do think that having people like you, having
folks out there on the podcast and other women who
have really been embracing, like we're going to talk about this,
We're going to say that this is hard. Being a
woman can be very challenging, and we should actually be
able to talk about it, be allowed to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
And I love that you talk about that. But you
you have a unique.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Position that you've always kind of been able to cover
the tough situations, even when you were young and you
were talking about you know, bullying and kids growing up
and weight issues and hair. You have always absolutely had
the best hair. And we're all jealous of you.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Just so you know.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I'm sure you've heard that in a million times, but
you told a story recently about seventeen magazine which I
thought was fascinating because I think we look at you
and we're like, she's always had everything and been you know,
everybody loves her, but just that internal struggle that even
for you, there were times that were hard that we
(20:50):
don't really we don't see because we think that when
you're a celebrity everything's easy. But you had very real
experiences that women still experience. Tell us a little bit
about what that was like. Yeah, I mean, it's always interesting.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It's a little challenging to grow up in front of
millions of people, especially in your most formative years and
you're going through awkward stages of life and you hit
puberty and things change and you're growing, you're maturing, and
to do that in front of a lot of people
can be challenging and at the same time, just like
(21:26):
anyone else, At least for me, it's like, you want
to be the popular kid, you want to be the
pretty one when you're fifteen, sixteen, and when you're in
that in the industry in Hollywood, I still had those
kinds of dreams and goals too. So to be on
the cover of a magazine, I actually thought I had
a shot at it because I was on this really
popular television show. But to be told that I wasn't
(21:49):
a fit, that I didn't look like the other girls,
that they had on the magazines, and maybe it was
even my goodie two shoes personality.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I don't know, maybe I wasn't cool enough to be
on it.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I mean, I can think of it in all different
ways now as an adult as to why I was
told no twice, but that reflection always, you know, it
took a hit on my self esteem, and so you
go through those challenges. It kind of doesn't It doesn't
matter whether it's in front of a whole lot of people.
It feels the same in front of the camera or
(22:24):
if you're a high school or going through school and
being told mean comments by kids who are just bullies.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
And that's something that our kids see in a different
way because there is so much ability to get to
your kid's self esteem, whether it's social media, through the phone,
you have a bullying at school. That's why I thought
that that story was so important because we look at
you now, we're like, I mean, we looked at you
then and we thought, oh my gosh, she's amazing. We
look at you now and you're telling this story and
(22:56):
we hear this.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
And you're so You've done so which great things.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You're such a successful follower of the Lord and I
think that, to me is the most beautiful part of
it because through that, instead of going to a dark place,
you kept your focus on God.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
And thatries what I want my girls to hear.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You know this is hard, and at that time it's crushing,
but you've always kept your focus on God. How do
you do that in an industry that is not God focused.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'm so grateful that the Lord grabbed a hold in
my heart at a young age, and I have always
wanted to honor Him and please Him and all the
things that I do, even as a teenager. And as
I've gotten older, that relationship's only grown stronger.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
And as I read the Bible and.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Really know who God is and know his character and
all the good that He has for me that may
not show up on this earth, they might be stored
up in heaven treasure up there when I get to
go spend the rest of my life with Him and
have but I have that eternal focus. But I only
know those things because I spend time with Him and
(24:10):
spend time in the world. And so that again is
what I value most and want to share most, especially
within my careers, that I realize that people do listen
to me.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I'm grateful because they liked me on.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
The television show, or they like my movies or my
Christmas movies, whatever the reason.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
But those are things that God gave.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Me to.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Flourish in which I'm grateful. But the real purpose of
my life is to share the Gospel with people and
share the hope in Jesus Christ, and so I just
do that by always remembering what my real priority is
in life. All the other things are external ways in
which I get to share Christ with but I keep
my eyes focused on Him, and then that helps.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Me navigate and navigate through.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
The rocky seas of life and also make the hard decisions.
Because I've already drawn my lines in the sand, I
know the majority of the answers to the tough questions.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
So when I get.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Put in awkward situations or uncomfortable situations, I already know
what God's truth says, so it becomes easy just to
stand on that principle and not waiver.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I think that when as I was watching some of
the things that you've been talking about, it's powerful to
hear you talk about your body and taking care of
your body, especially as we're aging.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
En.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I know you're talking about women's health. But I feel
like you really talk about it throughout your life, that
you are able to go to scripture and say God
is clear about the importance of taking care of your body.
And I think that's to me, that's important because it's
a hard conversation to have because we've been told, you know,
don't ever tell somebody that they have to take care
(26:00):
of their body. But you also because you don't want
a body shame. But you do it in such a
great way where you say, it's not about that, it's
about taking care of the temple that God has given
to you.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yeah, that's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I mean, we are not valued more by the number
on this scale, what we weigh, or what size clothing
we wear. It's not about that. But God gives us
a body to live in so that we can fulfill
our purpose. Our purpose in life is to glorify God
and all the things that we do, and we know
that we need to be healthy in order to do that.
(26:35):
So I really encourage women to just get out and
walk and move so that you can have longevity. I mean,
we're not promised the days of our life. Only God
knows what those numbers.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Are for us.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
But we certainly shouldn't sit around and do nothing just
to have that be taken away from us quicker because
we didn't do the good things that we know we
should for our bodies. All of this Like, I love fitness,
I love good health, but it's not about trying to
get people to look or weigh a certain way. It's
(27:09):
just about truly taking care of your body. Because if
you are a Christian, if you believe in Jesus, you
house the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives inside you.
And that's what being a temple is. It is literally
a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
And so if I know that.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
God lives in here, man, I clean up my house
before my guests come over.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
I tidy up. I want it to look good before
they come over.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
How could I not want to take care of the
inside if I'm housing God.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
What a powerful message?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Absolutely, Absolutely, That's what I love about the conversations that
you have.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That's what I really think that people need to hear.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
When we heard you were doing a tour, I'm telling you,
the house was like, oh my gosh, it was so exciting.
But that's the part of it that I believe is
so important is to have those conversations with women that
are you are valuable and God thinks you're valuable, and
you show God that you love him and you believe
he is valuable too. I think that this revival that
(28:13):
we're seeing is really God seeking out the wand you know,
leaving the ninety nine and we're seeing him seeking out.
And that's when I heard, Yeah, that young woman say
to me, I want to know more about God. I
want to know about relationship. I want to look forward
to marriage. I was like, he is working so hard.
And I've had so many people say we feel so
divided right now, and I say to them all the time,
(28:36):
you feel divided right now because so many people are
turning to God that the devil has to work a
lot harder.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
It's so good, it is so true. I feel so hopeful. Though.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
The more people that I talk to, the more people
that even come up to me while I'm walking through
the airport or I'm walking to a restaurant, I'm surprised
in that it's been a lot more people that will
say to me like, thank you for your faith, thank
you for standing up, thank you for being bold.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
And while I'm grateful for that and encourage.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It just means that they are being emboldened, they hear it,
they see it, they're being inspired that they want to
just live out their life. That's a little bit bolder,
a little less apologetic for offending people.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
It's not like any of us.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I mean, some people do, maybe, but I don't want
to go into the world looking.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
To offend people.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
And I'm not.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Always speak truth in love, and I think a lot
more people are going, yeah, I need to speak up
with that truth and how do I do it in
a loving way.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
a Tutor Dixon podcast. Okay, so that's why I love
the tour. You have four stops. Let's talk about it
because I looked it up just before I got on
here and I was like, oh my gosh, just almost
new tickets left. So you start in Atlanta, it's in November,
it's November twentieth through the twenty thirty, and you end
(30:06):
here in grund Rapids, right.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I do, yes, And there are really only there. There
might be a few tickets left in Anderson, Indiana, and
there are tickets left in Grand Rapids.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
But that's it. The other two cities have been sold out.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
All of really neat tickets across the board and all
four cities have been sold out, but still a handful
left in Michigan.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
So if you're in the area, we would love.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
To I would love to see you definitely. Oh my goodness,
God is good. I'm so glad that the other ones
are sold out. I know Michigan will too, because as
soon as people hear that you're here, I'm telling you.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
You are well loved.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Okay, and the devotional I want to talk about that
Rise and Renew when that comes out on the.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
Eleventh, November eleventh, Yep, it's out. You can pre order
it now. It'll probably come to you a week early.
I just got my print about a week ago, so
I know it's in stock, like it's hitting all of
the show.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
So you can go ahead and order that now.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
I saw you go to Target. I will just send
them this. I saw you go to Target and you
were wearing the Target.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I love the fact that people genuinely asked you, like
you work there?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Oh my goodness, they did. It was the cutest thing.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
And one guy I thought he was just staring at
me so weird, and he was like hovering over me, staring,
and I was like, I'm sorry, can I help you?
Speaker 4 (31:24):
And I forgot I was.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Wearing the Target T shirt and he just genuinely wanted
to know where he could buy this specific toy for
his grandson.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
And I was like, oh, let me help you with that.
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
That is so it was really That's another thing I
want to say. If you aren't on her Instagram, go
because it's just you do so many cute things. You
are so funny, and I thought that was so you
were just so humble there. You didn't even it was
like no big deal. You're like, yes, let me help you,
even though I love at the end You're like, I'm
literally not giving anybody good advice.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
That's the best part. I'm like, well, they're going to
look back on it and go, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
I think I talked to Candace Cameron Bray So that
was awesome. Thank you so much, and thank you for
being on the podcast today. Everybody, go out and get
your tickets, and you know, we hope we will be
We're going to try to get out there because we
really want to see you in.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
I would love to see you.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I hope you come and I hope to see all
of you that are considering tickets come on out for
a fun night.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yes, definitely, and thank you. Thank you for being on
the podcast today. Yeah, thanks for having me absolutely, and
thank you all for listening. You can watch the podcast
at Rumble or YouTube at Tutor Dixon. Join us next
time and have a bleased day.
All right, everyone, you are listening to the Tutor Dixon Podcast,
and this is going to be an episode where I'm
sort of gonna gush and be weird because we have
Candace Cameron Beret on and she is like a fan
favorite in our house for sure. If you don't know,
she's DJ Tanner from full House and Fuller House and
we love you so thank you for coming on today.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh thanks, it's a pleasure to be on, and thank
you for that very sweet introduction.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
But I mean it really is to us.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's so precious to be able to talk to you
because you are not only a great role model, but
you are a great role model in life. My girls
go to Christian school. It's really important to me that
they have good Christian role models. And really, even though
that wasn't like a real common theme in full House
and Fuller House, the values were so strong.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
It was such an amazing gift to all of us.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, you know, the show itself, do was a gift
to me, not just to be on a television show.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
But you never know.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
When you're an actor, especially a child actor, and you're
auditioning for the next thing and you're hoping you get
a part on something. And never did I think that not.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Only would I be.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
On this television show that would run for eight long years,
but one that would never be off the air over
thirty five years. I mean, it's never been off the air,
and one that carries such deep family values to it.
And that's really why this show has stood the test
of time because all of the things that were on
(01:42):
the show, they don't change. Even as the years change,
it doesn't change much in raising kids and what just
parenting with good values. So to be a part of
something so special, not it shaped me, of course, but
it feels so good to be a part of it.
So I love when people are still loving and watching
(02:02):
the show.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I will always be grateful. So we watched Fuller House
the girls. My girls watch Fullerhouse and then they were like,
wait a minute, we have to watch the how it
all started.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
They're bridge and aal full House.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
So then we had to kind of like go through
all these different channels to make sure we watched as
many as we possibly could.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
But that had but that had to have been.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It had been an interesting time to come out with
a show where three men were helping together to raise
kids because it was really a strong message that dads
are so important.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Oh yeah, it really was.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
It was a very unconventional show at the time it
premiered in nineteen eighty seven, So yeah, it really was
about that not all families have a mom and a dad,
and you know, in this case, the mom had passed
away and he gets his buddy and his uncle to
come help raise them.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
But those were the.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Strengths of the show in why and also why they
related to so many people over the years, because there's
lots of kids that whether they're adopted or their grandparents
are raising them, or aunts and uncles are raising them,
families look very different and can look different, and it
was just a support.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Group for a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, I mean I think even now, like you said,
it passes the test of time because even now as
a parent, I think it's interesting to me to have
watched it as a kid, and now as a parent
you see all the lessons that you didn't realize you
were getting as a kid. What was it like to
be the kid in that show? How is that different
from your home life? I mean, because I think growing
(03:40):
up we're all wondering what's it like to be a child?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Actor. You have kind of two families.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, that's true, you do you know, our full house
family was very much a real family.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
We still are today, and so it was a beautiful.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Full family to be a part of. And it felt
different enough as a kid being on TV because even
though I was going to work every day, it's like
I was I'm the baby of my real family. I'm
the baby of four and here I got to be
the big sister of two other two sisters.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And I know know all it all just it was
a great experience. It was wonderful.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
We had such good people on the show, and so
I look back with fond memories. Again, grateful for the
messages that the show had. But that was just my life.
I kind of don't know how to that's true it
to someone else's because those are my experiences. It's what
I know, and they were all happy and positive.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So for that, I'm really grateful you Your brother was
on TV as well at the same time, right, Yes,
was there any competition?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
There No no competition at all. I kind in the
weirdest way. I just thought, oh, this is what happens
to every family. If your actors you were on a
TV show, So my brother was on one, I was
on one. I didn't realize kind of how lucky we were,
and that doesn't happen very often.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Maybe I think of Jason Bateman and Justine Bateman.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
They were probably the other sibling duo that were on
television shows.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
At the same time.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But it was it was pretty special, but no real competition.
When we would come home from work, Like my brother
was just my big brother and I was the little
sister and we we left work at work, it was
all about family because we have two sisters in between,
and you know, it was about doing homework and chores
and family life.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That's so interesting. So you now have this massive staying power. Obviously,
we talked about the fact that there was fulling a
Fuller house and it was the same I mean, the
same people came back, which I thought was amazing.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
How often does that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
First of all, it doesn't very often happen that you
have a sequel of a series that works so well.
But it was very I mean, so it just drew
us in. But you have this massive staying power I
think with women and like I said, with my girls,
with kids, because we look up to you and we
see you as this really powerful figure.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
You're going on your first tour.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Tell us how that came about and what you hope
to accomplish.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I know I feel like I should.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I should be a musician or a communion and have
great jokes or sing you a song. But you know what,
I absolutely love connecting with the audience. And I think
that stems from being on Full House because we taped
in front of a live audience every week. And I
love social media for that reason because I like to
(06:40):
connect with people. And I have had this a podcast now,
the Cannas Hammonburry Podcast, where we deep dive on these
topics that like parenting or the Bible, and we spend
a lot of time and have deep conversations. And what
my takeaway from that is learning from the audience not
(07:01):
only what's resonating, but are where the problems and where
can we find solutions and where can I help guide people?
And so that interaction has been amazing and I thought,
how can we expand that And the way for me
to take it is to actually connect in person with people,
and so I thought a live tour would be a
(07:22):
fun idea. I think like a girl's night out is
always fun. Although you can bring your husbands, but it's
geared towards women and we're just we're going to have
a great night.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
It's going to be we're gonna have fun games and prizes.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
We're going to talk about full house and full our
house and all that kind of stuff, but we're going
to take it a little bit deeper and talk about
women's health and talk about faith. And I just wanted
a time to be a time of refreshment but really
connection in a selfish way, because for me, it's about
experiencing all of you in a real and tangible way
(07:56):
and not just over the TV screen, the computer screen,
the theater screen, which I enjoy doing too, but I
want to connect with you in real life.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I think I saw you say.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Faith, family and fitnessess faith, and I think, like a
TV family and fitness And then but you also have
this devotional out right now and you've and this isn't
your first, but I wanted to ask you about this one.
It's Rise and Renew and it's a daily devotion. It's
a thirty day journey and it is for people who
feel weighed down by failure, grief, for disappointment. How did
(08:30):
how did you decide that was a critical message to
bring because I do think that right now there is
a lot of there's a lot of people that feel
like they're just not where they need to be, or
they've just experienced a loss something like that.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, well, we're all going to experience grief and loss
in our life. And this, this devotional came out of
the pandemic, It came out of COVID, and I think
a lot of us had experienced not only grief and
loss in that, but also just I think a turning
point in our soul of what is most meaningful and
(09:09):
what gives us hope and what gives us strength.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
And so that's where the devotional came out of.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
And I am I mean, I'm a woman who is
I'm going to share my faith and the hope that
I have in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And so
my hope is that in looking through scripture, reading through
the Bible, connecting with God's word and daily over you know,
a few minutes every day really sets your path on.
(09:39):
It sets your day on a path forward with hope.
And that's why I wrote it. And so you know,
I love the Bible. I talk a lot about reading
the Bible. Sharing the Bible and a devotional is an
accompaniment to that, and it's an easy way to incorporate scripture,
but focus specifically on the ones on the verses that
(10:02):
give us hope and strength and know that our worth
and our value come from God, not from our circumstances,
not from the people around us, not from validation from
our job or our work, what we're doing, how much
money we make, It isn't anything like that. And so
this is just part of what I do. I just
(10:22):
do love it.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
This is a moment where you've seen, because we're hearing
so much that young men are coming back into the
church and that where men are really seeking out God,
but it seems like we're still kind of lagging with women.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Is that something that you feel like.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You can kind of propel that revival among women in
this tour and that's what you're hoping to see.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Well, I share hopes, So I hope.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'm just a tiny little cog in the wheel that
plants and other seed. There's hope in Jesus, and I
see a revival of faith.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I think we all do.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
All over the country, especially from very recent events, people
are reevaluating people are looking at the political.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Climate they they.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
See they see something different.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
And the people that.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Have known this, that value their faith are becoming bolder
in their words.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
And my hope really with the tour is to.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Also embolden women to not be shy and to not
take a seat, but to be open about sharing where
hope comes from and about all about Jesus.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
I think you're going to find that you're going to
have young women who are very curious, because so we've
been going around Michigan and talking to young women, talking
to groups of young people, and the young women I've
just noticed in the last six months have really started
to step forward and say, I want to say it's
okay to be looking for marriage. And I think, how
(11:50):
did we get to the point where they're taking a
leap to say that, you know, they're afraid to say
that on a college campus, and this idea that they
know that. I mean, we're built for that, We're built
to look for another person. But we have this culture
that's been telling people you don't really need that, but
it's okay to want that and to need that.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
Yeah, Yeah, it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Is a sad Is it a sad place to see
that women are afraid to say that. And I mean,
I have a daughter that's in her that she just
got married and she's in her twenties. All three of
my kids are in their twenties, and it, you know,
I think every generation will say it feels like a
different time. And this time is almost going back in
(12:36):
time because we've gone so far to the left to
teach that what our real and true values are meaningless
and worthless and they don't matter anymore. We've gotten so
far away from it that now I really do believe
that we're seeing a whole group of young people say, hey,
I want to go back to the way the grandparents
(12:59):
did it, and it feels almost old fashioned to them,
and yet it is the way in which we were
built and made. And so we do need strong voices.
Every generation needs to lead each younger generation. And that's
as we mature and become women. The Bible calls us
to do that, to lead the younger and teach the
(13:20):
younger generation, and so helping be a voice in saying
like it's okay, yes you should value that, want you
that and why why because the Bible says so, And
let me show you where it does. And I think
that's always the best piece of advice, at least that
I've given with my kids in the way that I'm parenting.
(13:40):
That this isn't just what mom says because I believe
it's true and right. It's because God says this. And
let me show you why and where God says it.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Stick around.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
We've got more coming up with Candice Cameron Bray. But
as we talk about health with her, if you are
over fifty and you're worried about your heart health, then
you need to listen to that because there was a
sixteen year study of over thirty thousand people that found
that nato kines. You may have never heard of it before.
It's an ancient Japanese superfood and it's important for you
(14:13):
because it can help reduce your heart attack risk and
improve your cardiovascular health.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Japan knows this.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They have the world's second longest life expectancy because of this.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
They've used this powerful and natural enzyme for thousands of years.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
And you can too now because Lumina Nutrition has perfected
a powerful Nato kines formula of their own. It's made
in the USA, and it's been third party tested for
purity and quality. So by your supplements from a source
you can trust. Luma Nutrition was founded by a former
US Army officer and they are on a mission to
(14:48):
provide the highest quality natural supplements made right here in
the USA. You can fix your heart health with this.
You can try natokines today for up to forty percent

U m N lum A Nutrition dot com. Again, it's
(15:08):
Luma Nutrition dot com, Luma Nutrition dot Com. It's veteran owned,
proudly made in the USA, and it's going to help
your heart.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
So go get it now. Stick around. We've got more
after this.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Is that what you hope that people will get out
of even your books, because I think a lot of
parents are lost in that section of parenting, Like how
do I this is? I'm frustrated because you should be
doing this. This is what the Bible says. But I
don't know exactly how to point all of that out.
I do think that there are a lot of parents
that are like, gosh, I want to know those verses.
(15:44):
I want to know how to have that conversation. Do
you feel like you're bringing that to people?
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I do, I really do.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I think that a devotional book is an easy way
to break down parts of the Bible. I don't think
that you should stop at a devotional book. I think
the most important thing is to read the Bible. That's
why it's a good accompaniment. But it's easy and that
you can it's sectioned out into verses, you can easily
reference those things. So I hope that I'm giving tools
(16:11):
to women, but that they based on using a devotional
to see how applicable God's word is and how it
changes hearts and when you pray through it, it it
You know. God can absolutely move mountains. You might not
be able to, but God can. And we understand the
hope in that I couldn't. I wouldn't want to live
(16:33):
a day without it. And so I really do hope
that tools like the devotional will give women easy access
to say, oh, I can do this, and I can
memorize a verse and I can start to understand this,
because that's the biggest place in parenting is starting with yourself.
Because we can talk to our kids all day long,
(16:53):
but if we are not walking the walk, if we
are not practicing what we preach, our words are meaningless
to our children.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I saw you recently say something about you were when
you remembered your mom going through menopause and having a
hot flash. And as you're talking about parenting, I'm thinking
about this because I'm thinking about how your kids are
growing up and they you sometimes forget they don't know
(17:21):
as much as you know. And you pointed out so
well that we are at a different phase in life,
in health and everything than our kids, and that is
also a challenge. I don't know how it is for men,
but I think that for women, you are going through
a different life change.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
And you're trying to parent at the same time. How
do you talk women through that?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Because I thought it was so sweet that you were,
like I look back on that now and go, I
made fun of my mom for having hot flash, and
I'm like.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Oops, you know, oops do that? Yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I know the things I put my poor mom through
and laughed at her.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
It's so sad. And now I'm here and I'm in
it and doing it. But you know, I think that
an area that our country has failed at as a whole,
and maybe the whole world. I don't want to even
blame our country is women's health. When we get into
the middle age of life in our forties and fifties.
(18:17):
I had doctor Tabitha on the podcast, and she's a
triple board certified a medical doctor, obstetrician, gynecologist, and.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
She has was explaining how many in.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
All different ways where the medical field has gotten things wrong,
where they've course corrected, and she's very much into integrative
medicine now but has all of the knowledge from her certifications.
And I just think that there's so many tools out
there for women of our age that my mom didn't have,
(18:56):
and they're finally coming to the forefront, and hopefully we're
going to get more of those things covered by our
medical insurance that are not covered right now to help
women go through middle age and menopause, perimenopause, menopause, all
of those things.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
And so I'm really hopeful.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I am not a doctor, I am That's why I
have knowledgeable people on the podcast to bring us this
information so that we can have a better experience. But
I'm just I'm grateful that a lot of women my
age now are talking about it. And it doesn't matter
whether it's entertainers or a public figure or it's it's
just women. You're a teacher, you're a stay at home mom,
(19:38):
whatever it's we're just talking about it now because we
want to have a better experience and we have the
tools to do that, but not all the information has
been given, so yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Been really taboo. It's like a thing that you shouldn't mention.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
And I do think that having people like you, having
folks out there on the podcast and other women who
have really been embracing, like we're going to talk about this,
We're going to say that this is hard. Being a
woman can be very challenging, and we should actually be
able to talk about it, be allowed to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
And I love that you talk about that. But you
you have a unique.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Position that you've always kind of been able to cover
the tough situations, even when you were young and you
were talking about you know, bullying and kids growing up
and weight issues and hair. You have always absolutely had
the best hair. And we're all jealous of you.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Just so you know.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I'm sure you've heard that in a million times, but
you told a story recently about seventeen magazine which I
thought was fascinating because I think we look at you
and we're like, she's always had everything and been you know,
everybody loves her, but just that internal struggle that even
for you, there were times that were hard that we
(20:50):
don't really we don't see because we think that when
you're a celebrity everything's easy. But you had very real
experiences that women still experience. Tell us a little bit
about what that was like. Yeah, I mean, it's always interesting.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
It's a little challenging to grow up in front of
millions of people, especially in your most formative years and
you're going through awkward stages of life and you hit
puberty and things change and you're growing, you're maturing, and
to do that in front of a lot of people
can be challenging and at the same time, just like
(21:26):
anyone else, At least for me, it's like, you want
to be the popular kid, you want to be the
pretty one when you're fifteen, sixteen, and when you're in
that in the industry in Hollywood, I still had those
kinds of dreams and goals too. So to be on
the cover of a magazine, I actually thought I had
a shot at it because I was on this really
popular television show. But to be told that I wasn't
(21:49):
a fit, that I didn't look like the other girls,
that they had on the magazines, and maybe it was
even my goodie two shoes personality.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I don't know, maybe I wasn't cool enough to be
on it.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I mean, I can think of it in all different
ways now as an adult as to why I was
told no twice, but that reflection always, you know, it
took a hit on my self esteem, and so you
go through those challenges. It kind of doesn't It doesn't
matter whether it's in front of a whole lot of people.
It feels the same in front of the camera or
(22:24):
if you're a high school or going through school and
being told mean comments by kids who are just bullies.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
And that's something that our kids see in a different
way because there is so much ability to get to
your kid's self esteem, whether it's social media, through the phone,
you have a bullying at school. That's why I thought
that that story was so important because we look at
you now, we're like, I mean, we looked at you
then and we thought, oh my gosh, she's amazing. We
look at you now and you're telling this story and
(22:56):
we hear this.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
And you're so You've done so which great things.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You're such a successful follower of the Lord and I
think that, to me is the most beautiful part of
it because through that, instead of going to a dark place,
you kept your focus on God.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
And thatries what I want my girls to hear.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
You know this is hard, and at that time it's crushing,
but you've always kept your focus on God. How do
you do that in an industry that is not God focused.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'm so grateful that the Lord grabbed a hold in
my heart at a young age, and I have always
wanted to honor Him and please Him and all the
things that I do, even as a teenager. And as
I've gotten older, that relationship's only grown stronger.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
And as I read the Bible and.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Really know who God is and know his character and
all the good that He has for me that may
not show up on this earth, they might be stored
up in heaven treasure up there when I get to
go spend the rest of my life with Him and
have but I have that eternal focus. But I only
know those things because I spend time with Him and
(24:10):
spend time in the world. And so that again is
what I value most and want to share most, especially
within my careers, that I realize that people do listen
to me.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
I'm grateful because they liked me on.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
The television show, or they like my movies or my
Christmas movies, whatever the reason.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
But those are things that God gave.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Me to.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Flourish in which I'm grateful. But the real purpose of
my life is to share the Gospel with people and
share the hope in Jesus Christ, and so I just
do that by always remembering what my real priority is
in life. All the other things are external ways in
which I get to share Christ with but I keep
my eyes focused on Him, and then that helps.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Me navigate and navigate through.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
The rocky seas of life and also make the hard decisions.
Because I've already drawn my lines in the sand, I
know the majority of the answers to the tough questions.
Speaker 4 (25:14):
So when I get.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Put in awkward situations or uncomfortable situations, I already know
what God's truth says, so it becomes easy just to
stand on that principle and not waiver.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I think that when as I was watching some of
the things that you've been talking about, it's powerful to
hear you talk about your body and taking care of
your body, especially as we're aging.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
En.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I know you're talking about women's health. But I feel
like you really talk about it throughout your life, that
you are able to go to scripture and say God
is clear about the importance of taking care of your body.
And I think that's to me, that's important because it's
a hard conversation to have because we've been told, you know,
don't ever tell somebody that they have to take care
(26:00):
of their body. But you also because you don't want
a body shame. But you do it in such a
great way where you say, it's not about that, it's
about taking care of the temple that God has given
to you.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Yeah, that's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I mean, we are not valued more by the number
on this scale, what we weigh, or what size clothing
we wear. It's not about that. But God gives us
a body to live in so that we can fulfill
our purpose. Our purpose in life is to glorify God
and all the things that we do, and we know
that we need to be healthy in order to do that.
(26:35):
So I really encourage women to just get out and
walk and move so that you can have longevity. I mean,
we're not promised the days of our life. Only God
knows what those numbers.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Are for us.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
But we certainly shouldn't sit around and do nothing just
to have that be taken away from us quicker because
we didn't do the good things that we know we
should for our bodies. All of this Like, I love fitness,
I love good health, but it's not about trying to
get people to look or weigh a certain way. It's
(27:09):
just about truly taking care of your body. Because if
you are a Christian, if you believe in Jesus, you
house the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives inside you.
And that's what being a temple is. It is literally
a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
And so if I know that.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
God lives in here, man, I clean up my house
before my guests come over.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
I tidy up. I want it to look good before
they come over.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
How could I not want to take care of the
inside if I'm housing God.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
What a powerful message?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Absolutely, Absolutely, That's what I love about the conversations that
you have.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
That's what I really think that people need to hear.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
When we heard you were doing a tour, I'm telling you,
the house was like, oh my gosh, it was so exciting.
But that's the part of it that I believe is
so important is to have those conversations with women that
are you are valuable and God thinks you're valuable, and
you show God that you love him and you believe
he is valuable too. I think that this revival that
(28:13):
we're seeing is really God seeking out the wand you know,
leaving the ninety nine and we're seeing him seeking out.
And that's when I heard, Yeah, that young woman say
to me, I want to know more about God. I
want to know about relationship. I want to look forward
to marriage. I was like, he is working so hard.
And I've had so many people say we feel so
divided right now, and I say to them all the time,
(28:36):
you feel divided right now because so many people are
turning to God that the devil has to work a
lot harder.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
It's so good, it is so true. I feel so hopeful. Though.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
The more people that I talk to, the more people
that even come up to me while I'm walking through
the airport or I'm walking to a restaurant, I'm surprised
in that it's been a lot more people that will
say to me like, thank you for your faith, thank
you for standing up, thank you for being bold.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
And while I'm grateful for that and encourage.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
It just means that they are being emboldened, they hear it,
they see it, they're being inspired that they want to
just live out their life. That's a little bit bolder,
a little less apologetic for offending people.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
It's not like any of us.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I mean, some people do, maybe, but I don't want
to go into the world looking.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
To offend people.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
And I'm not.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Always speak truth in love, and I think a lot
more people are going, yeah, I need to speak up
with that truth and how do I do it in
a loving way.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on
a Tutor Dixon podcast. Okay, so that's why I love
the tour. You have four stops. Let's talk about it
because I looked it up just before I got on
here and I was like, oh my gosh, just almost
new tickets left. So you start in Atlanta, it's in November,
it's November twentieth through the twenty thirty, and you end
(30:06):

might be a few tickets left in Anderson, Indiana, and
there are tickets left in Grand Rapids.
Speaker 4 (30:17):

Speaker 2 (30:20):
All of really neat tickets across the board and all
four cities have been sold out, but still a handful
left in Michigan.

Speaker 1 (30:29):

soon as people hear that you're here, I'm telling you.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
I saw you go to Target. I will just send
them this. I saw you go to Target and you
were wearing the Target.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I love the fact that people genuinely asked you, like
you work there?
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Oh my goodness, they did. It was the cutest thing.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
And one guy I thought he was just staring at
me so weird, and he was like hovering over me, staring,
and I was like, I'm sorry, can I help you?
Speaker 4 (31:24):
And I forgot I was.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Wearing the Target T shirt and he just genuinely wanted
to know where he could buy this specific toy for
his grandson.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
And I was like, oh, let me help you with that.
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
That is so it was really That's another thing I
want to say. If you aren't on her Instagram, go
because it's just you do so many cute things. You
are so funny, and I thought that was so you
were just so humble there. You didn't even it was
like no big deal. You're like, yes, let me help you,
even though I love at the end You're like, I'm
literally not giving anybody good advice.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
That's the best part. I'm like, well, they're going to
look back on it and go, oh my goodness.
