Election 2024: Issues Affecting the Heart of Our Families—Grocery and Gas Pump Economics
Cissie Graham Lynch
The election is just a few weeks away. If you’re like me and have been impacted by storms and life’s circumstances you may not have been paying as close attention to what’s going on with politics. But with so much at stake, we can’t afford to be uninformed or to sit on the sidelines. I recently released the Fearless Family Election Prayer Guide about the most urgent issues affecting the heart of our families. Today on the #FearlessPodcast, I’m talking about an issue we can all relate to—the economy. You don’t have to be a financial expert to know about grocery and gas economics and how the essentials are hurting our wallets. When people cut back, giving to the church suffers. Right now we are seeing the impact churches and non-profits have when disaster strikes and government can’t save us. Join me as I take a look at why this isn’t just a political issue it’s a biblical issue. And get your free copy of the Fearless Family Election Prayer Guide at https://fearlessvotingguide.org/.

My Family is Facing Another Hurricane – God Is With Us
Cissie Graham Lynch
Almost exactly 2 years to the day of Hurricane Ian hitting our home in Ft. Myers, Florida, we are once again living through another devastating storm. My family recently moved back to my hometown of Boone, North Carolina – just one of the communities across the Southeast where Hurricane Helene caused widespread damage. Today, I’m sharing how my husband and I are talking about Hurricane Helene with my kids and how the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse are serving in the hardest-hit areas now recovering from Florida to Georgia and South Carolina, and across the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.

People are Flawed. Candidates are Flawed. Our Vote Goes Beyond the Ballot Box.
Cissie Graham Lynch, Pam Pryor
We’ve all seen the chaos surrounding the elections, political parties, and candidates. It seems to get worse each and every day with no end in sight. What many don’t realize is that our vote goes beyond the halls of the White House, beyond the U.S. borders. Why do our vote and prayers matter when we go to the ballot box in November? My friend, Pam Pryor spent her entire career working in politics—she is who I go to anytime I have questions on politics, Washington, DC, or the American church—and I’ve asked her to join Fearless to talk about what’s at stake for us here and how it affects those around the world.

The Battlefield Has Arrived: How Proverbs Can Prepare Us (Ep. 136)
Cissie Gr, Gary Hamrick
As parents, we are in a battle for the souls of our children; as Christians, we are in a battle for the soul of our nation. This may sound dramatic, but every day we can see first-hand how our values are under attack – especially as we get closer to Election Day. Today, Pastor Gary Hamrick joins me for a new episode of the #FearlessPodcast to talk about how the fight is now at our front door. His church, Cornerstone Chapel is in the backyard of Washington DC, and they have seen members of their church face attacks because of their rights as parents, their belief to not embrace transgenderism, taking a stand for what’s being taught to their children, and more.
My grandfather, Billy Graham, often said that Psalms would teach you how to get along with God, And the Proverbs teach you how to get along with man. Pastor Gary shares how he has encouraged his church to navigate the battles they encounter with Proverbs as their guide, and he encourages us to do the same.

Chaos, Politics, & John Wayne (Ep. 135)
Cissie Graham Lynch
Today kicks off a new season of Fearless – a season filled with the good, the bad, and the ugly of issues we are facing in the world. This summer we have seen so many crazy things happen from the Olympics and assassination attempt of former President Trump to the economic crisis and in the U.S. and wars overseas. With chaos all around us, how should Christians respond?
I’ve always been a fan of John Wayne and the calm he brought to scenes filled with confusion and panic. One of his famous quotes was, "My hope and prayer is that everyone know and love our country for what she really is and what she stands for." It reminds me of another quote from my grandfather, Billy Graham, who said, “the secret strength of a nation is found in the faith that abides in the hearts and homes of the country.” My prayer is that this episode of the #FearlessPodcast helps you remember what’s important in these chaotic days.

Summer Encore Series—War in Israel Continues: Can Supernatural Hate be Overcome?
Cissie Graham Lynch, Samuel Smadja
Today, I’m continuing the summer encore series – re-releases of some of your favorite past episodes – with a special podcast that was recorded in Israel.
As Israel braces for a likely imminent attack by Iran and its allies, it’s important to know what’s going on in Israel and how the people that live there are affected by this ongoing conflict. Samuel Smadja, a friend of mine that lives in Israel, 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 encouraged to learn more about what’s going on and to pray, as Samuel said to “pray for the peace between the God of Israel and the people of Jerusalem.”

Summer Encore Series: War in Israel: Why is this important and how do we respond?
Cissie Graham Lynch, Gary Hamrick
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 eyes; why does antisemitism continue to rise; how do we respond; and, much more.

Summer Encore Series: How Can You Find a Healthy Balance in Politics This Year?
Cissie Graham Lynch, Gary Hamrick
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 at every level from local to state to national elections. I encourage you to listen to this message and share it with those who might also be encouraged by it.

Political Violence: How to Pray for our Nation
Cissie Graham Lynch, Franklin Graham
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; how should Christians respond in times like these; and, how should we be praying.

Cissie Graham Lynch
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 heard this episode before, I hope you’ll share it with someone who needs encouragement as they face storms in their own life.

Summer Encore Series: Celebrate True Freedom This Fourth of July
Cissie Graham Lynch
“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 old, but timely message about finding true freedom—the freedom that only Jesus can provide.
We are so thankful to all those military veterans that we will meet this summer and for all those that have served and continue to serve our great nation. I pray that this episode of Fearless will encourage you to find true freedom this summer!

Growing up as a Graham, Accepting Your Calling and Leaving a Powerful Legacy – with Franklin Graham
Cissie Graham Lynch, 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 relationship with his parents, and how God changed his life 50 years ago in Israel.
Thank you for being a part of the #FearlessPodcast whether this is your first episode or you’ve been along for this journey for the last five years. I hope we can continue the conversations we have, helping you have a fearless faith in a compromising culture.

Pride Month: How to Love Without Compromising?
Cissie Graham Lynch
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 to accept and embrace the LGBTQ agenda?
Today on the #FearlessPodcast, I want to remind you that God and His Word never change. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to stand firm and remember that showing love is never compromising God’s commandments.

Mormonism vs. Christianity: Do You Know the Difference?
Cissie Graham Lynch, J. Warner Walla, J Warner Wallace
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 meets the eye.
Today, J. Warner Wallace joins me to discuss his experience with the Mormonism and, as he says, how he “became a Christian at the same time he became not-Mormon.” At a time when so many are looking for fulfillment in their lives, it’s easy to be deceived into believing what’s false. J. Warner Wallace encourages us to look at everything from an investigative viewpoint to discover what’s actually true, and to know the distinct differences between Christianity and Mormonism.
