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.

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

Pastor Greg Laurie: Antisemitism on College Campuses, Israel & End Times
Cissie Graham Lynch, Greg Laurie
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 pastors are not standing with Israel and teaching their congregations about why Israel is so important.
Today, Pastor Greg Laurie joins the #FearlessPodcast to discuss the ongoing war in Israel, antisemitism on college campuses, and what the Bible says about end times. He’ll also share why it’s important for everyone to simply share Jesus.

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.

The Lies of I’s—Turn “I Deserve” into “How to Serve”
Cissie Graham Lynch
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 couldn’t lose and the social media natives that are constantly comparing people’s perfectly curated lives to their own. How do we teach our kids to overcome this attitude and that life isn’t always fair? Listen to the latest episode of the #FearlessPodcast where I look at the root of the problem and 4 ways we can have conversations with our children about serving and not deserving.

Did you know that the story of Jesus’ life is used as the basis for many Hollywood movies?

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 talking to your kids about faith.

War in Israel Continues: Can Supernatural Hate be Overcome?
February 13, 2024 • Cissie Graham Lynch
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 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.”

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 you following when you make decisions in your life? If you answered Taylor Swift, any social media influencer, or even your favorite news commentator, it’s time to make a change. We, as a society, are too smart for that.
Today on the #FearlessPodcast I’m sharing who we should be following and why it’s important to know what we believe before heading to the ballot box.
