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 family’s recent move from Florida to North Carolina and Corey’s ongoing work in Alaska building churches in remote villages. We also hit on how the world defines success and identity, why retirement might be more cultural milestone than biblical principle, and how obedience to God can reframe everything.

Corey also breaks down what he’s learned from working with volunteers and native communities in Alaska, and how seeing other cultures live by God’s provision—not deadlines—has reshaped his worldview. And yes—going back to the title of this episode—we share a lot of laughs and funny stories, including our family’s hatred for Corey’s Prius and how he once tried to surprise me with a new dog by leaving a trail of dirt through our entire house!

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 than man. Tony highlights FRC's ongoing efforts to equip pastors and believers through resources like the Stand Firm app and the Center for Biblical Worldview. He also addresses misconceptions about the separation of church and state, outlines the importance of the Free Speech Fairness Act, and assesses the Trump administration’s policies supporting religious freedom and life.

As we take a deeper look at the spiritual battles often found behind political struggles, we emphasize that true hope lies in a national spiritual awakening, not political reform alone. If you’ve ever wondered how to speak truth in love, stand firm in a hostile world, or what it really means to be fearless—I hope this conversation will compel you to be the salt and light our world needs in your sphere of influence.

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—where deep cave divers from around the world risked everything to bring 12 boys and their coach back to the surface. That image of headlamps piercing darkness becomes a profound metaphor for the Christian life: believers are not passive bystanders, but active participants in God’s mission to seek and save the lost.

Drawing from personal memories of her grandfather, Billy Graham, and the legacy of rescue he embodied, Cissie unpacks the biblical truth behind what it means to “make heaven crowded.” She shares how even the most ordinary people—like her mother, quietly discipling around the kitchen table—can play an extraordinary role in eternity.

Throughout the episode, Cissie references key Scriptures, including:

John 14:6 – “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Proverbs 24:11-12 – “Rescue those being taken away to death...”
Luke 16 – The parable of Lazarus and the rich man, a sobering reminder of heaven and hell as real destinations.
Revelation 14:13 – “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord... for their deeds follow them.”
She also shares a powerful quote from Billy Graham: “Someday you will read that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will have just changed my address.”

Whether you're on a stage, in a classroom, or simply driving your kids to school, this episode will remind you: your mission field is wherever God has placed you—and your job is to make heaven crowded.
