Each episode will take a look at different subjects and explore what the Bible teaches about those topics―encouraging listeners to explore God’s Word for themselves so that they know what they believe and why they believe it; challenging them to stand boldly for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in an ever-compromising world.</p>
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's episode I bring on a few behind-the-scenes friends to help me have a discussion about how we should “walk the talk” of what we believe as Christians.

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 in strength because we know who holds our future.
Today on Fearless, I want you to be encouraged that we all can live fearlessly and confidently in the hope of Jesus Christ.

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. No matter who wins our focus and priorities do not change. We need to be prepared to fight for our beliefs, our children, and for the future of our country. We need to stand for truth, fight against evil, and never compromise.
Whether it’s agenda-based curriculum in schools, gender confusion, and abortion, or religious freedom, immigration, and the impact of the economy, if we do nothing evil will fill the gap. Today on Fearless, I want to remind everyone that we cannot sit silent on the sidelines.

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 many in our country want to take those rights away – claiming separation of church and state.
Today, on the #FearlessPodcast I’m taking a look at the stories of people in the U.S. who have faced persecution and not backed down. My grandfather, Billy Graham, once said, “Let us stand for political freedom, moral freedom, religious freedom, and all the rights of all Americans, and let's never give in to those who would attempt to take it from us.” We pray that a new generation of believers will rise up to stand for the truth of God’s Word.

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, they are advocating for it. Before gender identity was ever a political issue, it was a Biblical issue. Genesis 1:27 says, “And God made man in His own likeness. In the likeness of God He made him. He made both male and female.” We don’t define our gender – only God can define who we are.
Today, on the #FearlessPodcast, I’m talking about what parents can do to protect our kids from this evil and serious issue when advocates of gender reassignment are coming after our children.

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 actively taking steps to indoctrinate our children – and they don’t want parents to know. Whether it’s Critical Race Theory, gender theory, or social Marxism, many anti-Biblical and anti-American ideologies which are destructive to the core traditional values many families have are shaping future generations.
While putting kids in private school or homeschooling isn’t always an option, being informed is the first step to making a change. Parents need to know what their kids are being taught – and who is teaching them – and take steps to make sure their voices and concerns are heard. Our greatest mission field is our kitchen table. And if we aren’t talking to our kids about these issues, the schools will. When parents demonstrate a Christ-like attitude and teach a foundation of Biblical truth to our children, the more they will understand God’s Word for themselves and be able to reject the lies of this world.

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. When Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, the press and social media misinformation was used to scare women. Yet, this “right” has not been taken away and it’s not the only option.
The decision to have an abortion used to be a last resort. Out of desperation or fear, women thought they didn't have a choice. But now it is championed. It's paraded. It's bragged about. It shouted about from steps at our Capitol. It's become an active form of birth control. Far too many people – Christian or not – have sat silent because we all know someone (whether we are aware of it or not) who has faced this unfathomable “choice.” One out of four women in the U.S. have had an abortion. It’s up to the church to show love and support to these women and children through these difficult circumstances and let them know it’s never too late for God’s grace and forgiveness.
Today on the #FearlessPodcast, I’m tackling reproductive rights – one of the 8 topics in my Election Prayer Guide – and why it’s so important to know what your state and elected officials’ stance is on this issue that affects the future of our nation.

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 governing authority. My dad has said the job of the church is to love people, but the job of the government is to provide careful security for its citizens. This is another issue that is not just political, but it’s Biblical. Today on the #FearlessPodcast, I’m taking a look at what the Bible says about immigration and national security – one of the 8 topics our families are facing which are covered in my Election Prayer Guide.

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 our families. Today on the #FearlessPodcast, I’m talking about an issue we can all relate to—the economy. You don’t have to be a financial expert to know about grocery and gas economics and how the essentials are hurting our wallets. When people cut back, giving to the church suffers. Right now we are seeing the impact churches and non-profits have when disaster strikes and government can’t save us. Join me as I take a look at why this isn’t just a political issue it’s a biblical issue. And get your free copy of the Fearless Family Election Prayer Guide at FearlessVotingGuide.org.

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 my kids and how the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse are serving in the hardest-hit areas now recovering from Florida to Georgia and South Carolina, and across the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee.
