Show Notes
Today I am starting a new series on the #FearlessPodcast called the Legacy Series. I want to share with you some of what I have learned from my grandfather, Billy Graham, my grandmother, Ruth Graham, and from my parents. We just passed the second anniversary of my grandfather’s passing and going to Heaven. Over the last two years, I have been writing down notes and different things that I have learned from him. Today I want to share with you the number one thing I’ve learned from my Daddy Bill – and thanks to technology, we will get to hear some of his own words.

I’ve recently been able to travel with my dad a little bit more than normal. We just returned from the UK where his upcoming Graham Tour has come up against opposition. Dad and I talk about what it’s like to be a Christian in these difficult times. We also talk about how my grandfather also faced the same challenges more than 60 years ago when he came to the UK; and about the anniversary of his passing two-years ago.

Episode 16: Cissie Lynch and Adrienne Camp Feb 04, 2020

I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Adie Camp. I’ve known her for just a short time now and I’m excited for you to get to know her as well. Many will know her as the wife of Jeremy Camp – but what you may not know is that she was a successful musician herself before marrying Jeremy. Adie is strong and beautiful and an inspiration to me in how she balances being a wife and mother during a busy season of life. We sat down during my dad’s Decision America Tour and had a chance to talk about marriage, kids, anxiety, and God’s grace and love.

Episode 15: Standing for Life in a Secular World Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

Show Notes
Most Christians would take a stance as pro-life. But are you able to stand on a platform and discuss what you believe and why you believe it? This week marks the 47th anniversary of Roe vs Wade. Abortion is such a controversial topic, with far-left Democrats going so far as saying they would murder newborn babies. We need to be able to defend our position on why the sanctity of life is so important. Listen to my new Fearless episode, where I address this polarizing topic and discussing how to have a conversation as a Christian and in a secular world about why abortion goes against God’s Word. The 47th March for Life is this Friday in Washington D.C. and in cities across the country. Let’s continue to pray for this nation and our leaders as many are taking a strong stand on this subject.

Episode 14: Christians and Politics Jan 09, 2020

Show notes

Show Notes
It’s 2020 – an election year. Many people think Christians should not speak about politics. I disagree. It is our responsibility as Christians to address issues from a biblical perspective. I’ve traveled the world through my work with Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and seen countries where people don’t have the have the right to vote or have a voice on politics. We have the right and responsibility many others do not, so it’s up to us to learn—to gain knowledge that’s available at our fingertips—on the issues and candidates to make informed decisions about issues. Today I am talking about this and how I believe we not only should, but also need to, engage in political and religious conversation – remembering to have those conversations full of grace, truth and love.

Episode 12: Finding Balance When Society Says You Can Have it All Nov 13, 2019

Show notes

Show Notes
We live in a society that is very pro-women right now. But, how do we do what’s best for us from a biblical perspective? The last few years have been difficult for me in trying to find balance – of being a wife first, then a mom, and doing the work I feel like God has called me to do – all while honoring God. Today, I’ve asked a few colleagues to join in a discussion about how to balance being a working mom.

Episode 11: Your Questions—Answered Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

Show Notes
I’m often asked questions ranging from my personal opinions to spiritual guidance to memories from my childhood, and everything in between. So, I recently asked my podcast listeners to submit questions and today I’m sitting down with my colleague to answer them. This episode was a little outside my comfort zone, but I’m thankful for the opportunity to grow on this journey, and I hope you enjoy it as well.

Episode 10: When We Are Not Fearless Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Show Notes
I was convicted after a recent episode with my dad about how we approach those who maybe haven’t stood fearless under persecution. If we’re honest, we all fail daily. And there have probably been many times – both big and small – in our own lives where we have not been courageous when we are talking about or living out our faith. In today’s episode, we’re doing things a little differently. We will be doing more of a Bible study to see what the Scripture says about times when we haven’t been bold and stood fearless in our faith.

For those who are new to my story, I struggled for three years with addiction and it was many years later before I shared my story publicly. Statistics say one in seven people in the United States will face addiction. On today’s episode of Fearless, I talk about my own past struggles and share 5 tools for recovery during this #NationalRecoveryMonth.
5 Tools for Recovery
1. We have hope in the Gospel.
2. We have to anchor ourselves in God’s Word.
3. We have to avoid temptation.
4. Don’t do this alone.
5. Serve others.
