Summer Encore Series: War in Israel: Why is this important and how do we respond?

This summer I am re-releasing some of your favorite past episodes. It’s been nearly 300 days since the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Yet the war in Israel is still ongoing and more than 100 people are still being held hostage. The Oct. 7 attack against Israel is the most deadly since the Holocaust. Pastor Gary Hamrick from Cornerstone Chapel in Virginia joined me to on #Fearless discuss some questions many have asked about the conflict: is Biblical prophecy being fulfilled before our e...

Summer Encore Series: How Can You Find a Healthy Balance in Politics This Year?

This summer I am re-releasing some of your favorite past episodes. On today’s episode, I’m sharing a conversation with Pastor Gary Hamrick, pastor of Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia, where we discuss the importance of engaging in politics. I know many Christians struggle with this, and many non-Christians take the stance of separation of church and state. But we need to stand boldly to protect our religious freedom – and we need to know who is representing us and what their values are a...

Political Violence: How to Pray for Our Nation

How do we pray for our nation in wake of political violence? This week we saw political division take a drastic and alarming turn when there was an assassination attempt on former President Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. We have seen leaders on both sides of the aisle condemn this abhorrent act. Now, many people are asking where we go from here? My dad, Franklin Graham, joins me as we ask the questions: What issues should we be concerned about as we are watching this election cycle; ...

Summer Encore Series: A Cultural Hurricane – Can Your Foundation Stand Through the Storm?

Can your home withstand the storms that we are facing today? The Fearless “Summer Encore Series” – some of your favorite past episodes – continues today with a look back at a special episode I recorded at the home of my grandparents, Billy & Ruth Graham. The bedrock of my family started with my grandparents – and they instilled God’s Word into every one of their children and grandchildren so that when we face cultural wars we can stand on a firm foundation rooted in Scripture. If you’ve hear...

Summer Encore Series: Celebrate True Freedom This Fourth of July

“Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you. Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.” This quote hangs outside the Samaritan’s Lodge in Alaska where my family and I are serving with Samaritan’s Purse this month with Operation Heal Our Patriots. The Fourth of July reminds me of the importance of our nation’s freedoms. Today kicks off the “Summer Encore Series” on Fearless, where I share some of your favorite past episodes, with an ...

Growing up as a Graham, Accepting Your Calling and Leaving a Powerful Legacy – with Franklin Graham

What do you want your legacy to be? For the past five years, I’ve shared about what it means to live fearlessly for your faith in a world that wants to destroy Biblical values. I’ve been able to do this because of the godly legacy that my grandparents and parents have passed down – that God is faithful to those who never compromise the Gospel. Today, my dad, Franklin Graham, is joining me to answer questions I’ve never asked him before about his life, what he wants his legacy to be, his relation...

Pride Month: How to Love Without Compromising?

Chaos and confusion are all around us. June is a month filled with rainbows and Pride parades and messages that “love is love.” We live in a time when we see a growing hatred towards Christians and a biblical worldview. These attacks and confusion are especially strong during “Pride Month.” The Bible tells us that “Pride goes before destruction…”(Proverbs 16:18). So how do we make sure that we are protecting our families and teaching our children truth when the world is telling them that we are ...

Mormonism vs Christianity: Do You Know the Difference?

Do you know who are you following on social media? There's a growing trend of Mormon influencers on many platforms - especially Instagram. Their family values, conservative dress and love for family is inspiring. Many people might actually think the Church of Latter Day Saints is a different denomination of Christianity because they believe in Jesus. But sometimes we see people that seem to have similar values and beliefs only to find out their backgrounds are actually much different than what m...

Pastor Greg Laurie: Antisemitism on College Campuses, Israel & End Times

Antisemitism is on the rise. Seeing protests on university campuses across the U.S. and growing violence against Jewish people around the world is not only shocking, but it’s a reminder that God’s people will be persecuted because of our allegiance to Him (Matthew 10). It has been just over seven decades since the Holocaust, and the growing Jewish-hate is eerily similar to what happened leading up to the Hitler’s “Final Solution.” As Christians, this shouldn’t come as a surprise, yet many pastor...

The Lies of I’s—Seeking Godly Wisdom instead of Selfish Ambition (Ep. 122)

We live in a society that tells us that selfishness and self-centeredness are okay so that we can be happy, successful, and feel important. But, the world is full of foolish, evil, and demonic wisdom. We need to be cautious of what we are looking to and where we are looking for truth and guidance. This all goes back to knowing what you believe and why you believe it. We will never be enough and find true fulfillment if we aren’t relying on godly wisdom and truth. If you are acting with humility ...

The Lies of I’s—When “I Want” Becomes “I Need” (Ep. 121)

How often do you find yourself saying, “I need;” confusing a want or desire with something that really is not essential? We live in a world that’s both consumed and fed by the social media algorithm showing all the beautiful things others have and places they go. It makes us think: I need new shoes. I need caffeine. I need to make more money. So, what happens when we don’t find contentment in what we have? What happens when our dissatisfaction grows? Listen to the latest episode of the #Fearless...

The Lies of I’s—Do I believe the lie that “I Am Enough?”

“I Am Enough.” This “Lies of I’s” is one that we see everywhere—on t-shirts, coffee cups, and it’s even the title of a children’s book. It’s meant as an encouragement – especially in this world of comparison. But what really happens when we follow this advice and rely solely on ourselves? And, how can we teach our children to find strength through faith instead of how the world defines? Listen to the latest episode of the #FearlessPodcast where I look at the dangerous “Lies of I’s”—I Am Enough—a...

The Lies of I’s—Turn “I Deserve” into “How to Serve”

How often do you hear yourself saying “I”? I want. I need. I wish. We have these “Lies of I’s” – lies we tell ourselves that culture tells us are a truth. My husband I were having a discussion the other day and I heard myself saying, “I deserve.” That’s a phrase I don’t even let my kids use, and here I was disagreeing with Corey saying, “I deserve better.” We seem to live in a world and society that is full of entitlement. We have the participation trophy generation that was always told they cou...

God, Miracles & Harry Potter

Did you know that the story of Jesus’ life is used as the basis for many Hollywood movies? Today on the #FearlessPodcast, I’ve invited Frank Turek to share some of the questions he’s heard from students on college campuses and how parents can help our kids understand and defend their faith before they even reach college. Frank will also talk about four questions that prove Christianity is true. And he’s also going to tell us about how one very popular movie can be used as an example when you are...

War in Israel Continues: Can Supernatural Hate be Overcome?

What’s going on in Israel today? The war in Israel has faded from the news, but the people who live there are still in the middle of a conflict that seems to have no end. I recently visited Israel with Samaritan’s Purse and sat down with a good friend of mine who lives there. Samuel Smadja is a Messianic Jew who took time to explain how the Israeli people are doing and what it’s like to be in Israel during a time like this. The Middle East and Israel can be very complicated and I hope you’ll be ...

Who Are You Following to the Ballot Box?

Love it or hate it, Taylor Swift has been everywhere lately. Whether on the news or on social media, NFL games or the GRAMMYs. One mention really stuck out to me—when an article came out saying she could determine this year’s presidential election. It’s a scary thought to think of a Taylor Swift influenced election. But, in 2024 that’s where we are. Whether you are talking about people on the left or the right, people have become sheep—not thinking for themselves and following the crowd. Who are...

Parents are Not Miracle Workers—Knowing Your End Goal and Facing Tough Questions

What is your end goal with your kids? Having a good relationship with our kids is important, but too often, we see parents’ compromise truth and God’s standards to accomplish that goal. If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ve probably heard me say that our kitchen table is our greatest mission field. Some of the toughest questions we’ll face as parents will come from our children who are seeing confusing and contradicting messages in the world around them. We need to be prepared to have hard c...

2024 just kicked off a few days ago, but I already feel behind. Maybe you feel that way, too. Sometimes setting goals and making plans at the beginning of the year can seem overwhelming. Personally, looking at big-picture, long-term missions help me stay focused on what’s truly important. So today, I'm sharing five prayers God has put on my heart to focus on with my husband and kids.

Don’t Rush Through Christmas—4 Lessons to Help Refocus

The Christmas season is a time full of never ending to-do lists. It’s so busy, that we often rush from one thing to the next without taking in the importance of Christmas. But, I don't want to rush by the Christmas season. I love the traditions. I love the excitement I don't want that sense of panic that we got to get it all done. This time of year, my thoughts often go to Mary, Jesus’s mother. Can you imagine what she must have been going through before Jesus’ birth? And yet, she knew the faith...

Should Christians be Scared of This Changing World?

The first time I traveled to Rome was with my dad when I was 19—the beginning of that trip changed my life and my relationship with my dad. Rome has since become my favorite city to visit because of my memories with him. I was recently back in Rome with my dad. Before his Noi Festival, I sat down with him to talk about the importance of being in Rome and why it holds special memories for both of us. We also talked about what’s happening in the world today and how Christians should respond to the...

When the World is Watching, Do You Bite Your Tongue or Use Your Words to Burn it Down?

This summer I saw my kids struggle to control their tongues; they were frustrated with each other and their tone with each other was just ugly. And I know they learned it from me. I realize we don’t always get it right – I know this true for me and there have been many times where I’ve had to bite my tongue when I get frustrated, offended, or when others are rude. With everything that has happened since 2020, it seems that people are quick to be more angry, more upset, and more sensitive. It can...

Is War in Our Future? What’s Happening on the World Stage and Should Parents be Concerned

The world seems to be in a state of chaos and rapidly changing. As a parent, I haven’t been able to keep the images of the attacks on Israel out of my mind. When we see the turmoil happening in Israel, Ukraine, and right here in America, it’s easy to get caught up in worry about the future. What do Americans need to know about these crises and how do we talk to our kids about war? What’s the cost of preserving our future? These are questions my brother, Edward, a 16-year military combat veteran ...

War in The Holy Land: Hard Questions, Simple Answers

What’s going on in the Middle East is complicated. Why is it important? What’s the history? Why do we need to stand with Israel? It’s critical to everyone to know what’s happening and how it impacts us. Once we understand God’s plan for Israel, the major events taking place now start to make sense and we can see how religious culture, politics, and Biblical history all align. Pastor Skip Heitzig joins the #FearlessPodcast to explain this in a simple way that we can all understand. For more resou...

Anti-Purity Culture: Was the Church Wrong & When to Talk to Our Kids About Sex

Do you know about the anti-purity movement that’s going against the church-based campaigns of the 1990s that encouraged young people to wait until marriage to have sex? Was the Church wrong in how it handled this message? When should we talk to our kids about sex? To be honest, this is a topic that the church seems to have done a 180 on since the time of the free love movement and sexual revolution of the 60’s and 70’s. As a parent, this is one of many questions I’m asking as I approach a new st...

Therapy within the church—Are we seeking godly counsel? - Encore

Have you ever had someone tell you that you should see a therapist? It seems today, there is an overwhelming reliance on therapists both inside and outside of the church. As Christians, are we seeking godly counsel when we face trials, or are we looking for worldly solutions?

Alcohol within the Church - Encore

This summer I’m sharing some of your favorite episodes from “The Elephant in the Room” series. Many of you reached out when I first released the episode on alcohol. I heard over and over how thankful you were to have a discussion on this controversial topic because many churches refuse to address it – and in recent years there has been a greater acceptance of drinking in the church. If you’re new to Fearless, I hope you’ll listen as I share my own experience on this subject. And if you’ve follow...
