A Personal Story: How God Answered a Prayer in My Life
02/08/22 • 23 min
My grandmother, Ruth Graham, said when it comes to the salvation of our children, we are to take care of the possible and let God take care of the impossible. We can’t save their souls—only God can do that—but there are other things we can do.
There is nothing more important than praying faithfully and intentionally for our children, grandchildren and nieces and nephews. Just as the calendar was about to flip from 2021 to 2022, I asked God for a word to guide my life for the next 12 months. His answer came just as I was about to go to sleep for the night: Prayer.
In this episode, I will tell you a personal story of how—within a few days of giving me the word ‘prayer’—God answered a very precious prayer for me.
I’ll also share a recap of my experience last month at the 49th March for Life and how you can pray for the pro-life movement and the important Supreme Court decision on Roe vs. Wade later this summer.

Teaching Kids How to Think, not What to Think
Children are bombarded with bad ideas at a young age, everywhere from culture to schools to the Internet and even from some churches. As a result, they’re going to have questions about Christianity. Are you prepared to give and help them find good answers? My guest on this episode of Fearless can help us teach kids how to think, not what to think.
J. Warner Wallace was a Los Angeles homicide detective who didn’t believe in God--until he applied his investigative skills to the claims of Jesus Christ. Now, as a follower of Christ, he offers very practical ways for adults and children to learn how to think, not what to think about truth and Christianity.
I appreciate J. Warner Wallace’s insight, because as a mom, what I want more than anything is to know that my kids are walking with the Lord and walking in His truth.

Marxism: Do you know how it’s Impacting You?
From an American-born athlete choosing to represent China at the Olympics to racial conflict to divisions over gender, I believe everything we’re seeing happen in America right now is a form of Marxism. It’s impacting our daily lives—even in the home. But what is Marxism? And what dangers does it pose to you and your family?
Retired Lieutenant General Jerry Boykin joins me on this episode of Fearless and lays out what you need to know about Marxism, as well as Communism and Socialism. General Boykin works with the Family Research Council and has fought enemies of the U.S.A. in battles around the world—including the Black Hawk Down incident in Somalia.
Each of us needs to be ready to engage in the battle against Marxism right where we live, and General Boykin and I talk about how to do that. The most important part of that battle plan is remembering that our greatest hope lies in Jesus Christ.
