Show Notes: On this episode of Fearless, I’m talking about the word, “unity.” It’s been the subject of speeches and headlines, but—at a time when it feels like our country has never been more divided—is unity even possible? In today’s culture, “unity” has been tossed around so much that it’s lost its meaning. It’s worth considering what the word “unity” means, and how we can find it. True unity can only be found in Jesus Christ. The world has rejected Jesus, and therefore rejected unity. However...

The decision was announced on the afternoon of January 15, after this episode of Fearless was recorded and posted. Make plans to join from the VIRTUAL March for Life from your home, your office, or wherever you are on January 29, 2021.

The demonstrations in Washington, D.C. on January 6th were a stark reminder that 2021 may not provide the relief from 2020 many of us were hoping for. But they’re also a reminder of the importance of placing our faith in God this new year. In this first episode of 2021 I want to encourage you to be prepared for whatever 2021 holds. We cannot grow weary. As Daniel 11:32 tells us, those who know their God will be able to stand in strength and take action. Scripture Referenced: Daniel 11:32 Judges ...

Show Notes Christmas is just a few days away. One tradition that I started last year with my family is a photo album – with real printed photos – of the past year. As I was looking back at the photos from 2020, I felt grateful for more time spent with my family. I know not many people will look back at 2020 the same way. But I am reminded this Christmas week, that if we know God’s Word and have confidence in it, we can be assured that the Lord is with us. Mary’s story tells us this exact same me...

Show Notes After my grandfather passed away a couple of years ago, I started contemplating the legacy that he left behind. Some of the sweetest times we shared were gathered around the table as a family at his house in the mountains of North Carolina. As we head toward the end of the year and look back on 2020, I thought it was a great time to reflect on a tradition we have in our family – and a command that we are given repeatedly in God’s Word.

Show Notes November 11 is Veterans Day, a special day to remember and honor all of those who have served in our military. In light of this day, I sat down with a very special guest, my brother Edward Graham, who is a veteran himself. Edward graduated from the United States Military Academy, also known as West Point, in 2003, just two years after 9/11. He served in eight combat deployments within special operations forces, and recently left his beloved military career to serve alongside my dad, F...

Show Notes The 2020 elections have been said to be one of the most pivotal elections of our lifetime. Many experts have even said that it is the most critical since the election of Abraham Lincoln. As I was sitting in my quiet house on the eve of Election Day, I was wondering what my message would be when we found out the results. I was reminded of 2 Chronicles 20, when Jehoshaphat turned to God – this battle is not ours, it belongs to God. No matter who wins or loses, my message, my job, and my...

Show Notes I’ve always been passionate about religion and politics, but I know that not everyone my age, especially Christian millennials, shares the same sentiments towards this topic. Someone even once told me that he didn’t believe Christians should have roles in politics. In this episode I want to encourage you not to look at the word ‘politics,’ but let’s look at it as ‘governance’ and who will govern over you. Right now, we have two political parties fighting over how they will govern us. ...

I started my last social media post with a statement: “Recognizing a group which has overcome a lot of barriers.” In our county in Florida, where my children attend school, the idea was proposed to “celebrate” LGBTQ+ History Month in schools where kids of all ages would be taught this sexual ideology. I have been talking about taking a stand for the education of our children a lot lately. Being a mom and a Christian with a public platform, I receive letters from parents all across the country wh...

Show Notes As Christian parents, it’s important that we know what our school system is teaching our children. I believe that we are in a battle, a spiritual war, for our children’s hearts, minds, and souls in this country. We need to be prepared to stand up for our children and speak biblical truth into their lives. Will we sit back and allow the secular left to win our children over, or are we going to fight for them? On today’s episode of Fearless, I’ve invited my friend Todd Chasteen, Vice Pr...

Each year the new school season brings a certain chaos, and this year is no different. There’s been a lot of debate over schooling methods, and many people asked about what my husband and I decided to do with our children this fall regarding the new school year and their education. Today’s podcast episode is all about navigating this chaotic back to school season. Whether you’ve chosen homeschooling, online/virtual learning, in-person classes or a hybrid of the options, I encourage you to trust ...

Most of us will never know what true persecution is. Pastor Andrew Brunson and his wife Norine do. They were arrested and imprisoned in Turkey — where they planted a church and served for more than 20 years — because of their religious beliefs. After two years, Andrew Brunson was released from prison. I had the chance to sit down with the Brunsons a few weeks ago in Alaska. At the time, I didn't know that Andrew and I would stand on the national stage this week during the Republican National Con...

But even before that fateful day, Tammie Jo had a fearless faith that took her from a farm in Texas to being one of the US Navy’s first female fighter jet pilots. I had the honor of speaking with Tammie Jo as she visited military couples at Samaritan’s Purse’s Operation Heal Our Patriots. Hear how her #fearlessfaith helped her overcome life’s ...

Since I started the #FearlessPodcast, my desire has been to help Christians navigate their faith through an ever-changing and ever-compromising culture. Today, I am once again challenging Christians to know what they believe and why they believe it – and to know the facts and truth of the organizations they support; to know that we are giving our time, money, and attention to God-honoring issues and platfo...

It has a cost; it imposes a burden.” – Ronald Reagan Today I’m joined by a special guest – my sister-in-law Kristy Graham – who challenged me several years ago to reevaluate how my family and I recognize Memorial Day.

Maybe he’s tried to tell you the same lies. In this episode of Fearless, I talk about the importance of using Scripture to stay focused on the truth of God. I also look at sweet reminders from the Bible that Jesus meets you right where you are. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES John 4:1-42 -- Woman at the well John 20:1-18 -- Mary Magdalene sees...

Not only is the coronavirus keeping us from being able to celebrate with friends in church, it’s reminding us of the darkness of death. But as Christians we know who conquers that darkness and holds the victory in our lives. In this episode of Fearless, I look at the hope everyone can find in the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I feel like God’s teaching me to use this time to draw closer to Him and to be more intentional about studying the Bible with my family.

In this episode of Fearless, I share some of what I’ve learned from him, my grandmother and my parents about the i...

This week marks the 47th anniversary of Roe vs Wade. Abortion is such a controversial topic, with far-left Democrats going so far as saying they would murder newborn babies. We need to be able to defend our position on why the sanctity of life is so important. Listen to my new Fearless episode, where I address this polarizing topic and discussin...

Show Notes It’s 2020 – an election year. Many people think Christians should not speak about politics. I disagree. It is our responsibility as Christians to address issues from a biblical perspective. I’ve traveled the world through my work with Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and seen countries where people don’t have the have the right to vote or have a voice on politics. We have the right and responsibility many others do not, so it’s up to us to learn—to gain ...
