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.

We’ve all seen the chaos surrounding the elections, political parties, and candidates. It seems to get worse each and every day with no end in sight. What many don’t realize is that our vote goes beyond the halls of the White House, beyond the U.S. borders. Why do our vote and prayers matter when we go to the ballot box in November? My friend, Pam Pryor spent her entire career working in politics—she is who I go to anytime I have questions on politics, Washington, DC, or the American church—and I’ve asked her to join Fearless to talk about what’s at stake for us here and how it affects those around the world.

As parents, we are in a battle for the souls of our children; as Christians, we are in a battle for the soul of our nation. This may sound dramatic, but every day we can see first-hand how our values are under attack – especially as we get closer to Election Day. Today, Pastor Gary Hamrick joins me for a new episode of the #FearlessPodcast to talk about how the fight is now at our front door. His church, Cornerstone Chapel is in the backyard of Washington DC, and they have seen members of their church face attacks because of their rights as parents, their belief to not embrace transgenderism, taking a stand for what’s being taught to their children, and more.

My grandfather, Billy Graham, often said that Psalms would teach you how to get along with God, And the Proverbs teach you how to get along with man. Pastor Gary shares how he has encouraged his church to navigate the battles they encounter with Proverbs as their guide, and he encourages us to do the same.

Today kicks off a new season of Fearless – a season filled with the good, the bad, and the ugly of issues we are facing in the world. This summer we have seen so many crazy things happen from the Olympics and assassination attempt of former President Trump to the economic crisis and in the U.S. and wars overseas. With chaos all around us, how should Christians respond?

I’ve always been a fan of John Wayne and the calm he brought to scenes filled with confusion and panic. One of his famous quotes was, "My hope and prayer is that everyone know and love our country for what she really is and what she stands for." It reminds me of another quote from my grandfather, Billy Graham, who said, “the secret strength of a nation is found in the faith that abides in the hearts and homes of the country.” My prayer is that this episode of the #FearlessPodcast helps you remember what’s important in these chaotic days.

Today, I’m continuing the summer encore series – re-releases of some of your favorite past episodes – with a special podcast that was recorded in Israel.

As Israel braces for a likely imminent attack by Iran and its allies, it’s important to know what’s going on in Israel and how the people that live there are affected by this ongoing conflict. Samuel Smadja, a friend of mine that lives in Israel, 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 Middle East and Israel can be very complicated and I hope you’ll be encouraged to learn more about what’s going on and to pray, as Samuel said to “pray for the peace between the God of Israel and the people of Jerusalem.”

This summer I am re-releasing some of your favorite past episodes.With the threat of retaliation from Iran putting the war in Israel back in the news, this important episode with Pastor Skip Heitzig breaks down the issues simply in a way everyone can understand.

Pastor Heitzig is the senior pastor at Calvary Albuquerque and has taken many tour groups to Israel where he leads people to discover the places where Jesus walked while studying Scripture. This knowledge helps to uncomplicate the basics of why Israel is important, it’s history and why Christians need to stand with Israel.

This summer I am re-releasing some of your favorite past episodes. It’s been nearly 300 days since the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Yet the war in Israel is still ongoing and more than 100 people are still being held hostage. The Oct. 7 attack against Israel is the most deadly since the Holocaust. Pastor Gary Hamrick from Cornerstone Chapel in Virginia joined me to on #Fearless discuss some questions many have asked about the conflict: is Biblical prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes; why does antisemitism continue to rise; how do we respond; and, much more.
