Show Notes
Welcome to FEARLESS! On this episode, I’m talking with New York Times bestselling author and dear friend Eric Metaxas about science, faith, Biblical archaeology and what’s happening in the church and culture.
In our conversation, Eric shares some of the incredible discoveries that have been made in the fields of science and archaeology that point to Creation, the Bible’s historical accuracy and, most importantly, the existence of God. It’s all part of his new book, “Is Atheism Dead?”
We also talk about the enduring legacy of his book “Bonhoeffer,” and how the story of German pastor and Nazi resistor Dietrich Bonhoeffer continues to resonate with us today.
This podcast is a great reminder that we don’t need to be fearful of the times that we live in—nothing has taken God by surprise. So, I hope you enjoy this podcast and are deeply encouraged in your walk with the Lord.

The Lies of I’s—Seeking Godly Wisdom Instead of Selfish Ambition
Cissie Graham Lynch
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 and seeking Heavenly discernment, the lies of this world will have a harder time taking hold on your heart. Listen to the latest episode of the #FearlessPodcast where I look at the “Lies of I’s”—Wise instead if I’s—and where we should look for fulfillment and wisdom in our lives.

The Lies of I’s—When “I Want” Becomes “I Need”
Cissie Graham Lynch
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 #FearlessPodcast where I look at the dangerous “Lies of I’s”—I Need—and a challenge of three practical ways we can practice contentment.

The Lies of I’s—Do I believe the lie that “I Am Enough?”
Cissie Graham Lynch
“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—and where our strength should ultimately come from.
