Candace Cameron Bure spoke with ChurchLeaders in Anderson, Indiana, the third stop on her first-ever live tour.
The 49-year-old actress grew up on American household televisions as D.J. Tanner in the hit sitcom “Full House.” Bure later went on to star in multiple films before becoming one of the most recognized actresses in Hallmark Christmas movies. In 2022, Bure joined Great American Family as its chief creative officer. She is the author of multiple books and the host of “The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast.”
Bure shared why she stepped into live events after 40 years of acting and how a tour creates a unique opportunity to connect more personally with fans beyond the screen and podcast.
The “Full House” star described how early tour experiences humbled her and admitted she teared up witnessing everyone coming out to support the tour. Bure shared that her favorite moment each night is the interactive trivia segment where she brings audience members onstage.
“I love connecting with people,” Bure told ChurchLeaders. “And I just thought this was another way I get to connect more personally with people that follow me on socials or watch my movies. And I just wanted to have a really good, fun women’s night with them.”
“It is humbling when that many people come out to see you. I had tears in my eyes when I walked out on stage because it’s just—I’m grateful. I really am grateful,” Bure said.
Discussing her new film “Another Sweet Christmas,” Bure shared, “We’re really excited. It’s the first Great American Family film that is a theatrical release. And so that—it’s very, very exciting.”

ChurchLeaders asked Bure to share what God has been teaching her. “I’m pausing really long because the tears are welling up,” she replied.
“Honestly, I’m really in a state of humility,” she continued, “and it’s such a beautiful place to be because when you are in Hollywood and there’s the lights and there’s the cameras and there’s the people and the flash bulbs and all of this praise, I know that I only have an audience of one.”
