| 0:00.0 | The most common negative comment I see on social media regarding my dad or myself is that my grandfather, Billy Graham, would be disappointed in us. |
| 0:09.4 | And it's got me thinking, were my grandparents Billy and Ruth Graham ever disappointed in their children or grandchildren? |
| 0:18.2 | Hi, I'm Sissy Graham Lynch. Welcome to Fearless, helping you have a fearless faith in a compromising culture. |
| 0:42.1 | Welcome back to Fearless. I'm your host, Sissy Graham Lynch. And as I think back over the Olympics, which of course just wrapped up last week, there were so many unforgettable moments. And |
| 0:47.4 | there's still those stories that we're still reminded of. But I think we can all agree the best |
| 0:53.2 | moment that no one will argue about was the |
| 0:55.8 | moment that had the whole country buzzing. And that's when the USA men's hockey team won gold for the |
| 1:01.1 | first time in 60 years. I personally just couldn't get off social media. I just kept rewatching |
| 1:06.3 | the winning shot, the celebrations, the interviews, all the videos, the memes, the funny ones, |
| 1:12.1 | the ones that would make you tear up. I mean, one moment I would be crying, and the next moment I would |
| 1:17.0 | be laughing, and then one moment I would be just swelling up with pride. And it felt like the whole |

| 1:29.5 | time. I mean, maybe since the days following 9-11. And I understand that losing is never fun. I get it. |
| 1:37.1 | But one of the things I remember from one of the players from the Canadian team was when he was being |
| 1:42.7 | interviewed and he said, you guys can be the judge of who the |
| 1:46.6 | better team was tonight. And of course, he's trying to imply that they had played better, |
| 1:50.8 | that they were the better team. And I just remember thinking, you can debate performance and you |
| 1:55.8 | can debate stats. But at the end of the day, there's a scoreboard, and there's only one gold medal. So I just |
| 2:02.1 | simply ask, who's holding the gold medal? And that's us, the USA, and just so proud of that team. |
| 2:08.4 | But of course, during all of that, and during those few days, I think I'm still sharing moments |
| 2:12.7 | from that day. But I just was on Instagram and I continued to share stories after stories. And there was one of many |
| 2:22.0 | of the images that I posted, but one was this post that President Trump had posted and I re-shared it. |
