A Call for Renewal | The Message I Shared at Rededicate 250
A few weeks ago I had the honor of speaking at Rededicate 250 in Washington, D.C. it was a national call to prayer on the National Mall as our country approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding. And though the event reiterated our deep need for God as a nation, what I left Washington asking myself was this: How do we rededicate not just our country, but our homes, our marriages, our children
When Family is the Hardest Mission Field, with Gracie O’Loughlin
This week’s episode of Fearless is a little different. I had my childhood friend and now Samaritan’s Purse colleague, Gracie O’Loughlin, join me to share her powerful testimony of Jesus redeeming first her life, and then using her to bring Christ to family members far from Him. Gracie was one of the popular girls in our small town high school, and I remember looking up to her, but never fully know
What Makes a Healthy Church? with Skip Heitzig
Recently I got to take a last-minute trip to Lima, Peru for one of my dad’s crusades—something that, as a mom of three, I don’t always get the chance to do as much as I used to. While we were there I sat down with pastor and longtime family friend, Skip Heitzig. Skip is no stranger to Fearless, but today’s episode felt different. During this candid—and honestly, pretty unplanned—conversation, Skip
Edward Graham on Trusting God in Times of Global Crisis | Iran, Israel, & the Middle East
My brother Edward Graham is back on Fearless this week, talking about the current conflict in the Middle East, how to trust God in uncertain times, and his story of serving 16 years in the U.S. Army. As tensions continue to rise around the world, it’s difficult to know where to turn for truth. Speaking from his experience serving post-9/11, Edward gives us his honest take on how he thinks the con
Are You Being Discipled by Social Media?
We’re all being discipled by something. Whether that’s good things like Scripture, or neutral things like social media and the news—the world is influencing us. My family and I were recently remembering the passing of my grandfather when I was reminded once again that what we choose to consume always shapes us. Talking about his eventual death, my grandfather shared a message of hope in the face o
Would my Grandfather, Billy Graham, be Disappointed in Me?
Growing up a Graham, I’m used to living my life in the public eye. Negative comments or assumptions about me and my family don’t really phase me, but a recent Instagram message did give me pause: “Your grandparents would be so disappointed in you.” Now, I didn’t actually believe this was true, but the message did make me stop and think, what would my grandparents, Billy and Ruth Graham, think of m
Israel, Replacement Theology, and the Rise in Antisemitism, with Samuel Smadja
There’s so much happening nationally and internationally right now, causing a lot of chaos within our circles—and even within the Church. One of those areas of confusion is Israel: whether the Church should stand with Israel, this idea of replacement theology, and the recent rise of Antisemitism. Today on Fearless I invited back my friend Samuel Smadja to speak into this topic and share his insigh
Defending Biblical Truth in Women’s Sports, with ADF’s Kate Anderson
Earlier this week I had the privilege of being in the room while our Supreme Court justices heard the case for defending biblical truth in girls’ sports. This was not just one, but two historic legal battles fighting for fairness and safeguarding female athletics from biological male participation. After hearing these brave young women share their stories firsthand, I got to sit down with Alliance
Dr. Frank Turek Talks Conspiracies & Finding Truth
In the three months since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, our nation—and world—has grappled with how to respond: whether to fight, join hands, or stay silent. To lend some much-needed truth and clarity to a tragedy that’s become plagued by misinformation, I invited Charlie’s good friend and mentor, Dr. Frank Turek, back on Fearless this week. Together Frank and I talk through some of the conspiracy
Technology, Faith, & Human Shortcomings | Billy Graham’s 1998 TED Talk
As I was surrounded by all things Christmas this week (as I’m sure many of us are!), I was reminded of a letter my grandfather, Daddy Bill, wrote to me in February of 1998. In the letter he wished me a Happy Valentine’s Day, and then mentioned that he was going to be speaking at the TED Conference in California, addressing that day’s leaders in technology, design, and entertainment. He was the fir
Returning to the Heart of Evangelism
Are we losing the heart of evangelism from behind the pulpit? On this week’s special episode of Fearless, I’m bringing you my talk from the Family Research Council’s Watchmen on the Wall Pastors Briefing recently held in Washington D.C. As I told that group, I’m an evangelist’s kid, not a pastor’s kid, but I’ve seen the Gospel proclaimed my entire life, and believe with all my heart that evangelis
Teaching our Kids to Face the World without Fear
Our kids are undoubtedly growing up in a turbulent time. From the war in Israel to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, they’re seeing and hearing about death, chaos, and violence everywhere they turn. It’s tempting as parents to try to shield them, to protect them from the evils of the world, but is that actually biblical? Today on Fearless we’re talking about the importance of teaching our childre
Elephant in the Room: Generational Sin
On this week’s episode of Fearless we’re returning to our “Elephant in the Room” series, this time tackling a topic almost no one talks about: generational sin. I didn’t want to talk about this today either, but after a season where both public and private sins seemed to be everywhere we looked, I felt led to address it here. We talk about how all sin starts out small, but if we’re not careful to
Courage in the Face of Cultural Chaos, with John Stonestreet
A little over a month since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, believers are living in a chaotic culture still reeling from the fallout. How are we, as the Church, called to respond when everyone around us is looking for answers, and we know truth can only be found in the Gospel? John Stonestreet joins me on today’s episode of Fearless, discussing how we’re called to respond with clarity, courage, and
It’s Your Turn to Preach the Gospel, with Franklin Graham
In the wake of national tragedy, God has ensured the Gospel will continue to go forward—using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a catalyst for renewal. Earlier this month, my dad—Franklin Graham—challenged those gathered at the annual Samaritan’s Purse Prescription for Renewal Conference to boldly preach the Gospel, just as Charlie did. Today on Fearless we’re bringing you his full talk from the med
Running to the Fire, with Ken Isaacs
For over 30 years, Ken Isaacs has (literally) run into the fires of war, genocide, and natural disaster around the world. Serving with Samaritan’s Purse alongside my dad, Ken has seen and experienced evil so total, contrasted by miracles that have no explanation outside of the hand of God. Today on Fearless Ken shares the heart behind his new book—Running to the Fire—plus what led him to a life sp
Can There Truly be Peace in Israel? with Daniel Cohen
Two years ago, the world watched in horror as Hamas terrorists stormed across the Gaza border and committed atrocities that changed Israel—and the world—forever. Families massacred in their homes. Children kidnapped. Over 1,200 innocent lives taken.Today, on the anniversary of October 7th, 2023, I talk with my friend Daniel Cohen: husband, father, journalist, and bold believer living on the ground
Be Careful: Are You Damaging the Name of Jesus?
With everything that’s happened in our country and world over the last few weeks, many of us have been online more than ever. In light of that reality, we should be taking an inventory of who we’re following, because the voices we’re choosing to consume matter—maybe more than we even realize. On today’s episode, I want to call us out as believers: who we follow online, the pastors we listen to, an
The Fight For Faith on Campus with Dr. Frank Turek
Dr. Frank Turek—best known for evangelizing college students as an apologist and author—joins me on Fearless today. We recorded this episode one week before Charlie Kirk’s tragic assassination, and going back to review the interview, I was shocked at how relevant Frank’s message is in light of Charlie’s death. Frank was actually on campus with Charlie the day he was killed, and what we’re talking
Reflecting on Charlie Kirk -- Will Courage And Faith Define Us?
This week, our nation grieves. We grieve because a fearless voice for truth, for freedom, for faith—Charlie Kirk—was taken from us. Today I wanted to share a bit about the Charlie I knew. A young man who, for the last 10-plus years, has been unashamedly preaching the Gospel to this nation, and the world.Charlie will be remembered for his courage in faith, but will we be remembered for that same ki
Intentional Parenting in a Distracted World, with Julie Carr
Fearless is back this week, and I’m so fortunate to be joined once again by author—and one of my biggest parenting mentors—Julie Carr, to talk about how to be an intentional parent in today’s distracted world. Julie is the mother of eight kids, ranging in age from 18 to 35, so she’s pretty much seen it all when it comes to raising and launching the next generation. I didn’t hold back in my questio
Standing on Truth in a Hostile Culture, with Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing
I’m back with my second talk from the BGEA European Congress on Evangelism stage—this time sharing my interview with Oxford University apologist, Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing. From smuggling Bibles into Taliban-controlled Afghanistan as a student to boldly contradicting those who preach “love is love,” Amy knows firsthand what it takes to live with courageous obedience in a world that has grown increasingly
Faith on Trial, with Päivi Maria Räsänen
When Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Maria Räsänen tweeted a verse from Romans back in 2019, she had no idea that it would ignite a firestorm not only in her home country, but around the world. For today’s episode of Fearless, I’m bringing you into the room for this year’s BGEA European Congress on Evangelism, where I had the chance to talk with Päivi onstage all about her courageous stand for bibli
Why the Protestant Reformation Should Still Matter to the Church Today, with Skip Heitzig
During my recent trip to Germany in conjunction with the BGEA European Congress on Evangelism, I had the immense privilege of traveling to Wittenberg, Germany and walking with one of my favorite pastors—Skip Heitzig—through the very same square where Martin Luther famously nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the church door. As we walked, we reflected on how what was intended as a discussion-starter
Censorship & the Fight for Free Speech, with ADF’s Kristen Waggoner
What if you could be arrested for your prayers? Sadly, that’s no longer just a theoretical question. In countries across Europe, citizens are being prosecuted for their silent prayers, and this could all too easily become our reality in the U.S. if we refuse to stand boldly against censorship. Today on Fearless, Alliance Defending Freedom’s Kristen Waggoner joins me to discuss these increasing att

To

Coping with Unimaginable Loss & Choosing Hope, with Dr. Lee Warren
What do we say to someone who is walking through the unimaginable—the loss of a child, a devastating diagnosis, the fallout from a natural disaster? What happens when that tragedy enters our own lives? On today’s episode of Fearless I had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Lee Warren—neurosurgeon, author, and Iraq war veteran—to talk about how to choose hope and find joy again, even in the face of
Beyond the Headlines: A Frontline Account of Ukraine’s War and Why It Matters
As the war in Ukraine continues, Americans remain divided on the appropriate U.S. response. Last week a meeting in the Oval Office between President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy turned heated—taking a sensitive diplomatic discussion far too public and ending in disaster. On today’s special episode of Fearless, I address those who called my response to the meeting
Angels, Demons, & Seeing the Supernatural, with Lee Strobel
Our culture has become increasingly obsessed with everything supernatural. From witchcraft and demons to angels and near-death experiences, it seems like our fascination with all things “otherworldly” is at an all-time high. For today’s episode of Fearless I’m joined by renowned author and journalist (and former atheist) Lee Strobel—talking through some of the most-asked questions about the realit
Revive Me, O Lord! (Psalm 119)
Often in Scripture there are common threads that point us to one conclusion. If you are listening/watching today’s episode and feeling weary be encouraged: God has rest and revival for you. But, if we want to be revived, we have to choose to meet God so He can restore us. Psalm 119 has dozens of reminders that revival from God is available but we have to participate. Jesus will show up, but we nee
Apocalyptic New Year: What is Happening to Our World?
Have you seen the headlines?“Los Angeles County is apocalyptic.”“Apocalyptic Dubai floods. shake picture perfect city.”“Asheville residents battling apocalyptic aftermath of Hurricane Helene and deadly flooding.”On and on the headlines go. In fact, there was even one article that I read that said, “The end of the world is trending. Why are we so obsessed with the apocalypse?” And I just asked the
The Most Important Song of the Season
When you think about Christmas, what is the song that is the soundtrack for this season of your life? Maybe it’s Joy to the World, O Holy Night, or White Christmas. But have you ever thought about the very first Christmas song that was ever sung?A lot of us would probably think it's Hark! The Herald Angels Sing from Luke 2:14. But that wasn't the first Christmas song. The first Christmas
Don’t Let Yesterday’s Nostalgia Rob You of Today’s Blessings
Every family and community has their own traditions and our family is no different. From Christmas traditions to everyday habits, we have built things that our family holds so dear. But this year I have been really thinking about when traditions can become a distraction from our ultimate purpose - to know and be known by God. How do we create an environment that builds traditions that move us cl
The Mistake I Made at My Wedding
Many years ago I had a decision to make - should I invite kids to my wedding or not? Brides can have such a vision for how they want their big day to go but do we allow this “picture perfect” dream to get in the way of showing kids the beauty of weddings and marriage? Bigger than this one day, do Christians cut children out of critical moments that can show them what we really hold dear? On today&
The Election: Don’t Be Anxious, the Battle is God’s
It’s hard to believe Election Day is tomorrow. No matter which side of the aisle you’re on, we can be sure there is a battle still in front of us – but the battle ahead is not ours, it’s God’s. We need to remember to trust God. We don’t know what the results of the election will be, but God does and we can trust Him with tomorrow. We do not have to live in fear or with anxious hearts; we can stand
Election 2024: Issues Affecting the Heart of Our Families | Now is Our Moment – Promote Good, Lessen Evil
In this election process–no matter what happens in the next few weeks–our battle is not between political parties. It's the epic spiritual battle of good versus evil, truth versus lies. With the election less than two weeks away, we need to prepare ourselves and our families for what lies ahead. We have seen so much divisiveness in the last seven years and that isn’t going to change on Nov. 5
Election 2024: Issues Affecting the Heart of Our Families | It’s Not Too Late For Freedom of Faith in Our Schools, Jobs, and The Public Square
Many people think we shouldn’t talk about religion and politics. But one of the most essential rights we have as Americans is the right to free exercise of religion. In fact, it was so important to the founding fathers that they included it in the first sentence of the Bill of Rights. This has been a beacon of hope to those in other countries where people are persecuted for their religion. Yet, so
Election 2024: Issues Affecting the Heart of Our Families | The Madness of Mutilation – The False Gender Ideology Attacking our Families
What would you do if your child decided to identify as a bird and thought they could fly off of the stairs? You would stop them to protect them from getting hurt. Yet today many children are being influenced to harm themselves through body mutilation and toxic, life-altering drugs because they ‘identify’ as something they are not – and parents, doctors and the government are not only complying, th
Election 2024: Issues Affecting the Heart of Our Families | To Stay or Not to Stay—The Public Education Dilemma of Christian Families (Ep. 142)
Today on the #FearlessPodcast, my friends Bethany and Josh Bidwell are joining me to share the battle they faced with their children in the public school system in Oregon. While Oregon is known to be a hotbed for the progressive, secular agenda, the perverse and disturbing depravity their children were exposed to solidified their decision to move them to a private school. Our education system is a
Election 2024: Issues Affecting the Heart of Our Families—Fighting a Culture That Celebrates Death
Who will preserve and protect the most vulnerable people in our society? I’ve talked about abortion on the #FearlessPodcast many times. This is one of those topics that people seem to confuse between being a personal/political issue or a Biblical one. But the Bible is very clear – Thou shall not kill. These are four simple words that have literally divided this nation and the churches within it. W
Election 2024: Issues Affecting the Heart of Our Families—Loving People While Securing a Border
We lock the front door of our house to protect our family. If you wouldn’t let a person you don’t know walk into your home, why would you want someone who is unknown walking into the front door of our country? Immigration and national security are tough topics for many Christians. We are called to love our neighbor and take care of the widows and orphans. But we also called to submit to the govern
Election 2024: Issues Affecting the Heart of Our Families - Grocery & Gas Economics
The election is just a few weeks away. If you’re like me and have been impacted by storms and life’s circumstances you may not have been paying as close attention to what’s going on with politics. But with so much at stake, we can’t afford to be uninformed or to sit on the sidelines. I recently released the Fearless Family Election Prayer Guide about the most urgent issues affecting the heart of o
My Family is Facing Another Hurricane – God Is With Us
Almost exactly 2 years to the day of Hurricane Ian hitting our home in Ft. Myers, Florida, we are once again living through another devastating storm. My family recently moved back to my hometown of Boone, North Carolina – just one of the communities across the Southeast where Hurricane Helene caused widespread damage. Today, I’m sharing how my husband and I are talking about Hurricane Helene with
People are Flawed. Candidates are Flawed. Our Vote Goes Beyond the Ballot Box.
We’ve all seen the chaos surrounding the elections, political parties, and candidates. It seems to get worse each and every day with no end in sight. What many don’t realize is that our vote goes beyond the halls of the White House, beyond the U.S. borders. Why do our vote and prayers matter when we go to the ballot box in November? My friend, Pam Pryor spent her entire career working in politics—
The Battlefield Has Arrived: How Proverbs Can Prepare Us
As parents, we are in a battle for the souls of our children; as Christians, we are in a battle for the soul of our nation. This may sound dramatic, but every day we can see first-hand how our values are under attack – especially as we get closer to Election Day. Today, Pastor Gary Hamrick joins me for a new episode of the #FearlessPodcast to talk about how the fight is now at our front door. His
Chaos, Politics, & John Wayne
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

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.

Summer Encore Series: War in Israel: Why is this important and how do we respond?
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
Summer Encore Series: How Can You Find a Healthy Balance in Politics This Year?
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
Political Violence: How to Pray for Our Nation
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

Summer Encore Series: Celebrate True Freedom This Fourth of July
“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
Growing up as a Graham, Accepting Your Calling and Leaving a Powerful Legacy – with 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 answe
Pride Month: How to Love Without Compromising?
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
Mormonism vs Christianity: Do You Know the Difference?
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
Pastor Greg Laurie: Antisemitism on College Campuses, Israel & End Times
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
The Lies of I’s—Seeking Godly Wisdom instead of Selfish Ambition (Ep. 122)
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
The Lies of I’s—When “I Want” Becomes “I Need” (Ep. 121)
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
The Lies of I’s—Do I believe the lie that “I Am Enough?”
“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 Lies of I’s—Turn “I Deserve” into “How to Serve”
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
God, Miracles & Harry Potter
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
War in Israel Continues: Can Supernatural Hate be Overcome?
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
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
Parents are Not Miracle Workers—Knowing Your End Goal and Facing Tough Questions
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
Already Feeling Behind? 5 Thoughts That Will Encourage You
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
Don’t Rush Through Christmas—4 Lessons to Help Refocus
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
Should Christians be Scared of This Changing World?
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 u
