  • “Over 900 women worshipping, soaking in what God had to say through Candace, and finding freedom! I talked to so many of them and they couldn’t stop talking about how REAL Candace is. She relates to women on so many levels- she sets the stage and draws you in with her stories and her humor. Then she brings TRUTH! She had us all laughing and crying. It is evident she loves the Lord and desperately wants others to experience the Joy she has found in the valleys and on the mountain tops. We love her!"

  • “Candace is top notch and brought the best. She was flexible and encouraging to all who interacted with her. "

    Shane Branecky – Community Bible Church

  • “Once again Candace knocked it out of the park. With her wit, her heart & the Word. I've had so many ladies come to me & tell me it's just what they needed to hear. Candace is so easy to work with. She's just "down to earth".
