War in The Holy Land: Hard Questions, Simple Answers Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

What’s going on in the Middle East is complicated. Why is it important? What’s the history? Why do we need to stand with Israel?

It’s critical to everyone to know what’s happening and how it impacts us. Once we understand God’s plan for Israel, the major events taking place now start to make sense and we can see how religious culture, politics, and Biblical history all align.

Pastor Skip Heitzig joins the #FearlessPodcast to explain this in a simple way that we can all understand.

War in Israel: Why is This Important and How do We Respond? Oct 10, 2023

Show notes

Israel’s 9/11 happened this weekend and they are at war. The photos and videos are horrific, and it has been an emotional few days reading the stories coming out of Israel. This attack against Israel is the most deadly since the Holocaust. Pastor Gary Hamrick from Cornerstone Chapel in Virginia is joining me today to discuss some questions many have been asking: is Biblical prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes; why does antisemitism continue to rise; how do we respond; and, much more.

Anti-Purity Culture: Was the Church Wrong & When to Talk to Our Kids About Sex Oct 03, 2023

Show notes

Do you know about the anti-purity movement that’s going against the church-based campaigns of the 1990s that encouraged young people to wait until marriage to have sex? Was the Church wrong in how it handled this message? When should we talk to our kids about sex? To be honest, this is a topic that the church seems to have done a 180 on since the time of the free love movement and sexual revolution of the 60’s and 70’s. As a parent, this is one of many questions I’m asking as I approach a new stage of life with my kids. And I’ll admit that I don’t have the answer. But today, I’m discussing the root problem of so many issues we see today – from LGBT to pro-life issues, to drag queens and gender ideology – sex outside of marriage and a rejection of the biblical standard for sex.

Lessons we learned on and off the football field Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

Would you let your son play football? How do you respond to kids’ sports games and practices being on Sundays? These are some of the questions I get asked by people all the time about kids in sports. Today, my husband Corey is joining me on Fearless to answer these questions and give his “insider” perspective on college and professional football and his personal point of view from one of the greatest football plays of all-time. And we’re also taking a look at how culture affects the choices we make when it comes to our kids and their sports and activities.

Therapy within the church—Are we seeking godly counsel? - Encore Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever had someone tell you that you should see a therapist? It seems today, there is an overwhelming reliance on therapists both inside and outside of the church. As Christians, are we seeking godly counsel when we face trials, or are we looking for worldly solutions?
Today, I’m wrapping up my summer encore episodes with a re-release of my discussion with my friends, and founders of Home Improvement Ministries, Drs. Paul and Virginia Friesen. They joined me to talk about the seasons in life where we need to seek godly counsel to help us navigate through the trauma and challenges of life, and how to identify when we need to seek that counsel.
It’s important to have Christ-centered resources when you need them. If this is an episode you've already heard, share this episode with some friends that maybe you've been having this discussion with, to help have those hard discussions that the church is neglecting.

Why Have We Accepted Cohabitation As The New Normal? - Encore Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

Many families will soon be heading on their last vacation of the summer. How will you respond if your children show up wanting to stay with their significant other?
This summer, we’ve been taking a look back at the “Elephant in the Room” series. Today, I am sharing an important episode that looks at why we as Christians have accepted living together before marriage—and sex outside of marriage—as the new normal inside the church.
If you’ve already listened to this episode, I encourage you to share it with your friends and family that might not know how to navigate this controversial topic.

Alcohol within the Church - Encore Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

This summer I’m sharing some of your favorite episodes from “The Elephant in the Room” series. Many of you reached out when I first released the episode on alcohol. I heard over and over how thankful you were to have a discussion on this controversial topic because many churches refuse to address it – and in recent years there has been a greater acceptance of drinking in the church.
If you’re new to Fearless, I hope you’ll listen as I share my own experience on this subject. And if you’ve followed along for a while, I hope today you’ll share this episode and it helps spark conversations amongst your friends and family.

Has the Church Become too Much Show and Not Enough Truth? - Encore Jul 11, 2023

Show notes

So often, we try to cram everything possible into the short weeks of summer. Our schedules fill up with the busyness of life. But, I wanted to take some time to reshare a few of my Fearless episodes from the “Elephant in the Room” series so that we can keep our focus on some important topics facing the church today.
The first re-air for the summer is from when we looked at some red flags to watch for inside the church and what I believe is the church’s greatest stumbling block.
If you’ve already listened to this episode, I encourage you to share it with your friends and family and start the important discussion of what the church should actually look like.

A Cultural Hurricane – Can Your Foundation Stand Through the Storm? Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

People often ask what the secret to the Graham family is. Spoiler alert: There is no secret. The home that my grandparents built – where my dad was raised – has a strong foundation, but it was far from perfect.
There’s a saying, “If these walls could talk,” what would they say? As I look back on 99 episodes of Fearless and the topics and issues we’ve covered and guests that have joined me, I wanted to find a way to make this episode special. I kept coming back to the foundation of my family. That foundation starts with home – my grandparent’s home in the mountains of North Carolina holds such special memories.
For my 100th episode, I am sharing the struggle I’ve had to find my voice, and with my identity of being a Graham. But I’m also reflecting back on the house that built me, with a strong foundation and an enduring legacy that continues to influence me and my family to be strong, fearless, an uncompromising when it comes to God’s Word.
So today, and as we continue to next chapter of Fearless, I hope you are encouraged to raise up the next generation in the love, hope, and truth of Jesus.
