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 liberty and free speech, what Europe’s crackdown on “thought crimes...

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 of the major transitions in our lives and careers—including our ...

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 today's leaders and the pressing need for Christians to fear God more...

What if your everyday life—your table, your car ride, your office—was the front line of a rescue mission? 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. Inspired by the real-life story of a Thai soccer team trapped in a flooded cave, Cissie reflects on the heroic rescue that unfolded—...

In this compelling episode of Fearless, Cissie Graham Lynch sits down with Erin Hawley—Supreme Court attorney, Senior Counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, professor, mom of three, and wife to U.S. Senator Josh Hawley—for a raw conversation about what life looks like in a post-Roe America. Erin pulls back the curtain on the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson case that overturned Roe v. Wade and shares never-before-heard moments from behind the scenes—including what it was like juggling legal strateg...

Today on Fearless, Cissie Graham Lynch sits down with public school teacher Monica Gill and Alliance Defending Freedom’s Senior Counsel, Tyson Langhofer, to explore what it looks like to boldly live out your faith in the heart of cultural opposition. Monica isn’t just a teacher—she’s a follower of Christ who views her classroom as a mission field. For over 30 years, she has served in Loudoun County, Virginia—one of the most progressive and contentious school districts in the country. Through ...

In this special episode of Fearless, we sit down with Secretary Scott Turner, the newly appointed Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Broadcasting from the Billy Graham Training Center in Asheville, North Carolina, this conversation dives deep into Secretary Turner’s incredible journey—from his roots in Dallas, Texas, to his career in the NFL, and ultimately, to his calling in public service. Many may recognize Secretary Turner from his viral prayer at President Trump’s first c...

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. Lee knows pain intimately. After battling through severe PTSD from his ...

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 “woke,” sitting down with Ken Isaacs—VP of International Programs and Government Relations...

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 reality beyond what we can see and touch. Lee shares insights and evidence from his latest book, Seei...

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. On today’s episode of Fearless we look at Psalm 119 and the story of...

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 question, are we obsessed with the end of the world? On today’s episode of Fearless we talk about...

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 song actually came nine months before that – it was Mary's song.This time of year isn’t the same for every...

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 closer to God? How do we avoid making the “Good ‘Ole Days” into an idol that robs us of t...

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 sh...

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 ...

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 b...

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.Tod...

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 is...

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 ...
