On this episode of Our American Stories, Billy Graham became one of the most influential Christian evangelists in American history, preaching to millions through large-scale crusades, radio, and television. What began with small gatherings grew into a global ministry that reached audiences across continents and generations. Over the course of his life, Graham met with and offered counsel to every U.S. president from Harry Truman to Barack Obama.

Here’s our own Greg Hengler with his story. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association for granting us permission to use the audio you’re about to hear from their exceptional film, Billy Graham: An Extraordinary Journey.
