Fearless with 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 Jo...

Many colleges and universities across the country are welcoming students back this week. But what will students learn and experience during the upcoming semester? On the last Summer Encore Series episode – re-releases of some of your favorite past episodes – Pastor Greg Laurie joins the #FearlessPodcast to discuss the ongoing war in Israel, antisemitism on college campuses, and what the Bible says...

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,...

This summer I am re-releasing some of your favorite past episodes. With the threat of retaliation from Iran putting the war in Israel back in the news, this important episode with Pastor Skip Heitzig breaks down the issues simply in a way everyone can understand. Pastor Heitzig is the senior pastor at Calvary Albuquerque and has taken many tour groups to Israel where he leads people to discover th...

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...

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 pr...

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...

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 t...

“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...

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 answe...

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...

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 h...

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...

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 fi...

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...

“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...

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 th...

Did you know that the story of Jesus’ life is used as the basis for many Hollywood movies? Today on the #FearlessPodcast, I’ve invited Frank Turek to share some of the questions he’s heard from students on college campuses and how parents can help our kids understand and defend their faith before they even reach college. Frank will also talk about four questions that prove Christianity is true. An...

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 Isra...

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...

What is your end goal with your kids? Having a good relationship with our kids is important, but too often, we see parents’ compromise truth and God’s standards to accomplish that goal. If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ve probably heard me say that our kitchen table is our greatest mission field. Some of the toughest questions we’ll face as parents will come from our children who are seeing...

2024 just kicked off a few days ago, but I already feel behind. Maybe you feel that way, too. Sometimes setting goals and making plans at the beginning of the year can seem overwhelming. Personally, looking at big-picture, long-term missions help me stay focused on what’s truly important. So today, I'm sharing five prayers God has put on my heart to focus on with my husband and kids. I hope y...

The Christmas season is a time full of never ending to-do lists. It’s so busy, that we often rush from one thing to the next without taking in the importance of Christmas. But, I don't want to rush by the Christmas season. I love the traditions. I love the excitement I don't want that sense of panic that we got to get it all done.  This time of year, my thoughts often go to Mary, Jesus’s...

The first time I traveled to Rome was with my dad when I was 19—the beginning of that trip changed my life and my relationship with my dad. Rome has since become my favorite city to visit because of my memories with him.   I was recently back in Rome with my dad. Before his Noi Festival, I sat down with him to talk about the importance of being in Rome and why it holds special memories for both of...

This summer I saw my kids struggle to control their tongues; they were frustrated with each other and their tone with each other was just ugly. And I know they learned it from me. I realize we don’t always get it right – I know this true for me and there have been many times where I’ve had to bite my tongue when I get frustrated, offended, or when others are rude. With everything that has happened...
