Summary

People often ask what the secret to the Graham family is. Spoiler alert: There is no secret. The home that my grandparents built – where my dad was raised – has a strong foundation, but it was far from perfect.

There’s a saying, “If these walls could talk,” what would they say? As I look back on 99 episodes of Fearless and the topics and issues we’ve covered and guests that have joined me, I wanted to find a way to make this episode special. I kept coming back to the foundation of my family. That foundation starts with home – my grandparent’s home in the mountains of North Carolina holds such special memories.

For my 100th episode, I am sharing the struggle I’ve had to find my voice, and with my identity of being a Graham. But I’m also reflecting back on the house that built me, with a strong foundation and an enduring legacy that continues to influence me and my family to be strong, fearless, an uncompromising when it comes to God’s Word.

So today, and as we continue to next chapter of Fearless, I hope you are encouraged to raise up the next generation in the love, hope, and truth of Jesus.

0:35.7	Hi, I'm Sissy Graham Lynch.
0:40.3	Welcome to Fearless, helping you have a fearless faith in a compromising culture. It is so hard to believe that we're here at the 100th episode of Fearless and when I've been thinking back
1:05.6	about what I might have talked about in these 100 episodes sometimes like what in the
1:10.5	world did we talk about and we have battled some tough
1:13.4	conversations and I was beginning to prepare for this episode my team just we
1:20.0	were throwing out some big names like who could could we invite, who would be a star that we could come,
1:25.6	somebody that's been fearless in our culture.
1:27.4	And there was just no peace about any name that was thrown out at me.
1:32.1	And I just kept reflecting back of this year and I've
1:36.0	been honest with all of you that this past year was difficult for me. There was a
1:40.9	really hard time and a time of darkness for me as I struggled with depression and anxiety with my last pregnancy.
1:50.0	And that had some big life changes that we had this hurricane that hit our home in

2:02.5	Because I value your time.
