This week’s episode of Fearless is a little different. I had my childhood friend and now Samaritan’s Purse colleague, Gracie O’Loughlin, join me to share her powerful testimony of Jesus redeeming first her life, and then using her to bring Christ to family members far from Him. Gracie was one of the popular girls in our small town high school, and I remember looking up to her, but never fully knowing her story. Well, today you’ll get a front-row seat to that story—one where Gracie went from trying everything the world’s way after her parents’ divorce, to a young woman sold-out for the Lord and determined to lead those closest to her towards the One who saved her life.

Together Gracie and I talk about why our families can sometimes feel like the most difficult mission field, how to set aside our own comfort to preach the Gospel with directness, and why we believe it’s never too late for someone’s life to be drastically changed by a God who specializes in bringing the lost home (don’t miss when Gracie talks about her 98 year-old grandmother accepting Christ!).

Time is running out to share the greatest news we’ll ever hear. As Gracie says, sometimes we can’t simply bank on our faith “rubbing off” on our families and friends through the way we live our lives—we’re called to preach the Gospel, no matter the personal cost.

Recently I got to take a last-minute trip to Lima, Peru for one of my dad’s crusades—something that, as a mom of three, I don’t always get the chance to do as much as I used to. While we were there I sat down with pastor and longtime family friend, Skip Heitzig. Skip is no stranger to Fearless, but today’s episode felt different.

During this candid—and honestly, pretty unplanned—conversation, Skip and I hit on everything from his friendship with my dad and the many adventures in ministry they’ve been on together to the signs of health we should all be looking for in a church home. Skip also shared why he offers a Gospel invitation every time he preaches, and encouraged pastors and all ministry leaders to preach the Word, not some trendy, watered-down version of the Gospel.

Wherever you’re at today, this is a conversation I pray will strengthen you, convict you if needed, and challenge you during these uncertain times. God is moving in so many ways right now, and, like Skip’s life is a testament to, God is able to do so much more than we could ever imagine when we’re willing to follow where He leads.

My brother Edward Graham is back on Fearless this week, talking about the current conflict in the Middle East, how to trust God in uncertain times, and his story of serving 16 years in the U.S. Army. As tensions continue to rise around the world, it’s difficult to know where to turn for truth. Speaking from his experience serving post-9/11, Edward gives us his honest take on how he thinks the conflict in Iran will unfold, why we should continue to stand with Israel, and why knowing Scripture is more important now than maybe ever before.

During our conversation, Edward also shares some of the stories he’s rarely talked about publicly before. From his call into the military at a young age and his first experiences under fire to losing friends on the battlefield and ultimately his call out of the Army and into ministry, Edward gives us an inside look into trusting God even when we’re unsure of the outcome.

More than anything, my prayer is that this episode would be a reminder that God is always sovereign, truth still matters, and that we don’t have to be shaken by every headline we read. In a world that constantly feels like it’s shifting under our feet, let’s put our trust in the firm foundation of the God who is, who was, and who always will be.
