Fearless with Cissie Graham Lynch

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 we have? What happens when our dis...

“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 latest episode of the...

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 that is full of entitlement. We have ...

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. And he’s also going to tell us about ...

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 Israel during a time like this. The Mid...

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 or the right, people have become s...

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 confusing and contradicting message...

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 you'll find encouragement to ta...

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 mother. Can you imagine what she mu...

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 us. We also talked about what’s happ...

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 since 2020, it seems that people a...

The world seems to be in a state of chaos and rapidly changing. As a parent, I haven’t been able to keep the images of the attacks on Israel out of my mind. When we see the turmoil happening in Israel, Ukraine, and right here in America, it’s easy to get caught up in worry about the future. What do Americans need to know about these crises and how do we talk to our kids about war? What’s the cost of preserving our future? These are...

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 expl...

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 antisem...

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...

In today’s world, we can never be too sure of what our kids are going to face. Whether your kids go to private school or public school, parents need to be involved in what their kids are learning and who is influencing them—now more than ever before as society tries to decide what’s best for them. Parents have to stay vigilant. Today on Fearless, I’m sharing what questions you should be asking and practical things you can do to pro...

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...

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, Dr...

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 ...
