Do You Believe in Santa? Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

Growing up, Santa was never a debate in my family.

On this episode, I talk about why we chose to “believe” in Santa—and why we still do.

Why Have We Accepted Cohabitation As The New Normal? Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

Cohabitation has become the new normal--even inside the church. Think about it, how many people do you know that out of convenience or any other reason have lived together before marriage? We’ve become so desensitized that we may not even recognize it as an issue at first. How harmful can it be to stay in the same room over the holidays or on a weekend trip?

On this episode of “The Elephant in the Room” series, I’m discussing how culture has infiltrated the church to make us believe that cohabitation—and sex outside of marriage—has become morally acceptable.

How Can You Find a Healthy Balance in Politics This Year? Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

Politics can be a divisive subject. Out of fear, some pastors completely avoid the topic from their pulpits.

On this episode of “The Elephant in the Room” series, I discuss how a church can find a healthy balance of discussing political issues without forsaking the Gospel. I have a conversation with Gary Hamrick, pastor of Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia, who found himself in the middle of the cultural and political battle without going to look for it. The battle showed up at his front door.

He’s an example of a godly man who’s stood up and fought for truth, without worrying about what the consequences might be.

I hope this conversation encourages you to stand for truth—and exercise your freedom to vote.

Halloween—Do Christians Ruin All the Fun? Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

Today, I’m talking about the topic I usually get the most pushback from on social media – Halloween. Although Halloween typically brings around candy and costumes, it can raise many questions for Christians.

Should we allow our kids to dress up? Should we hand out candy?

On this episode of Fearless, I share my family’s perspective—and what my grandmother, Ruth Bell Graham, thought about the holiday.

Alcohol within the Church Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Is drinking alcohol beneficial or is it a stumbling block to the believer? In recent years, there’s been a greater acceptance of drinking within the church.
As we continue the “Elephant in the Room” series, I talk about this controversial topic and share my own experience.
I hope this episode encourages you to seek God’s wisdom on difficult issues.

Returning Home After Devastating Hurricane Ian Oct 12, 2022

Show notes

My family and I have called Fort Myers home for more than a decade. Although we evacuated ahead of Hurricane Ian, the devastating effects from the storm are very personal to us, as many of our friends, neighbors and family have suffered damage and loss. Today on Fearless, I am sharing a bit of the personal side of what I have experienced first-hand after Hurricane Ian and how Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team are serving in my hometown.

Has the Church Become too Much Show and not Enough Truth? Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

I have noticed many red flags in a number of churches today. What should the church actually look like?

During the first episode of our fall series, “The Elephant in the Room,” I identify some of the issues I’ve seen inside churches today and what I believe to be the church’s greatest stumbling block.

Summer Has Ended--A Fresh Focus and a Brand New Fall Series Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

Fearless is back from its summer break, and in this new episode I share with you something that God continually laid on my heart throughout the summer.

While serving with Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, I was reminded of one thing—the importance of keeping our eyes focused on the cross—especially as we face opposition in our culture or challenges in life.

I’m also excited to tell you a little bit about a new series of Fearless episodes I’ll be launching this fall.

My family and I had a summer full of adventure, service and ministry and I look forward to telling you about it in this episode.

Jane Graham on Life, Faith, Motherhood and Family - Encore Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to the ‘Summer Encore’ series of Fearless! This week we’re returning to an episode with someone who is one of the greatest influences in my life, someone I want everyone to know, and that’s my mom, Jane Graham.

Over the years, so many people have asked questions about my mom. Though she’s Franklin Graham’s wife and Billy Graham’s daughter-in-law, my mother isn’t really one for the spotlight.

Her ministry has always been more private and behind the scenes, taking care of our family and serving those around her in our community.

I’m so excited that I get to share a little bit of her with you this week. We’re going to talk about her early life, how she met my dad in Montreat, NC, the influence of my grandmother Ruth Bell Graham, her faith, being in ministry and the challenges and joys of motherhood and marriage.

I hope that you’re inspired and encouraged as you listen my conversation with my mom. It’s an episode that you’re not going to want to miss.

A Fearless Faith Begins with Fear - Encore Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

The ‘Summer Encore’ series of Fearless returns with another one of my favorite episodes – talking about how a fearless faith begins with fear.

Over the years, I’ve come to understand that a fearless and sustaining faith can only come when we fear God. But what does it mean to fear?

In the simplest terms, it means that we take God seriously. We respect Him, we obey Him, we submit to His discipline and we worship Him in awe.

And there is a blessing and peace that comes when we fear the Lord.

Proverbs 9:10 tells us that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

Join me on this episode of Fearless as we talk more about my concerns for the Church and what it means to have a faith centered on a foundational understanding that our God is a Holy God who deserves our love, honor, respect and, yes, even our fear.
