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, this is one of many questions I’m asking as I approach a new stage of life with my kids. And I’ll admit that I don’t have the answer. But today, I’m discussing the root problem of so many issues we see today – from LGBT to pro-life issues, to drag queens and gender ideology – sex outside of marriage and a rejection of  the biblical standard for sex.

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 find true fulfillment if we aren’t relying on godly wisdom and truth. If you are acting with humility and seeking Heavenly discernment, the lies of this world will have a harder time taking hold on your heart.

Listen to the latest episode of the #FearlessPodcast where I look at the “Lies of I’s”—Wise instead if I’s—and where we should look for fulfillment and wisdom in our lives.

The Lies of I’s—Seeking Godly Wisdom instead of Selfish Ambition (Ep. 122)

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 dissatisfaction grows?

Listen to the latest episode of the #FearlessPodcast where I look at the dangerous “Lies of I’s”—I Need—and a challenge of three practical ways we can practice contentment.

The Lies of I’s—When “I Want” Becomes “I Need” (Ep. 121)

“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 #FearlessPodcast where I look at the dangerous “Lies of I’s”—I Am Enough—and where our strength should ultimately come from.

The Lies of I’s—Do I believe the lie that “I Am Enough?”

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 the participation trophy generation that was always told they couldn’t lose and the social media natives that are constantly comparing people’s perfectly curated lives to their own. How do we teach our kids to overcome this attitude and that life isn’t always fair? Listen to the latest episode of the #FearlessPodcast where I look at the root of the problem and 4 ways we can have conversations with our children about serving and not deserving.   For more resources and additional episodes visit https://cissiegrahamlynch.com.   

The Lies of I’s—Turn “I Deserve” into “How to Serve”

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 how one very popular movie can be used as an example when you are talking to your kids about faith.
