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 in Israel as this war ra...

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, and even the music we put o...

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 about—why so many young people are ...

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 kind of courage? Charlie’s death is a...

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 questions for Julie—talking abou...

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 contrary to the Gospel.

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 biblical truth in the face of ongoing cu...

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 by a monk frustrated with the probl...

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 attacks against religious li...

On this latest episode of Fearless, we’re taking a break from the heavy headlines and bringing you a raw, real, and often hilarious conversation between me and my husband, Corey Lynch! Corey just turned 40, so I wanted to sit down and ask him a few questions about embracing this “midlife” stage, his thoughts about retirement, and where his priorities and goals are as he heads into a new season. 

Together we talk about some...

For this week’s episode of Fearless, I sat down with Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council (FRC), to unpack what it means to live with moral courage in today’s culture of confusion and compromise. Tony draws from his decades of experience in public service, ministry, and policy advocacy to talk about how to stand for truth—even when it costs you.

Together we explore the alarming lack of moral courage among...

In this powerful episode of Fearless, Cissie Graham Lynch challenges listeners to reframe their understanding of legacy, not as something we leave behind, but as something we live out—a mission to bring hope, light, and salvation to a dark and broken world.

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 unimaginable loss. Dr. L...

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.

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.

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 need to meet Him there.

“Los Angeles County is apocalyptic.”

“Apocalyptic Dubai floods. shake picture perfect city.”
