Our kids are undoubtedly growing up in a turbulent time. From the war in Israel to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, they’re seeing and hearing about death, chaos, and violence everywhere they turn. It’s tempting as parents to try to shield them, to protect them from the evils of the world, but is that actually biblical?

Today on Fearless we’re talking about the importance of teaching our children to face the world without fear—equipping them to walk in confidence and courage in the times God has placed them. Our kids see what’s going on in the world, even if we do our best to limit screen time or not talk about current events at the dinner table. So instead of shielding them, let’s equip them with Scriptural truth and the God-given courage to combat the lies of the enemy and confront whatever is thrown their way. I hope this episode leaves you with practical takeaways for walking with your kids into the hard stuff—I promise you they can handle it, they were made for such a time as this.

On this week’s episode of Fearless we’re returning to our “Elephant in the Room” series, this time tackling a topic almost no one talks about: generational sin. I didn’t want to talk about this today either, but after a season where both public and private sins seemed to be everywhere we looked, I felt led to address it here.

We talk about how all sin starts out small, but if we’re not careful to guard our hearts it will inevitably grow into something we maybe didn’t plan, but definitely can no longer control. Sin is also not just a private issue—remember the Coldplay concert couple we all saw cheating on their spouses this summer?—sin affects every area of our lives, including our most important relationships. If left unconfessed and unchecked, sin has the power to be passed down to our kids, our kids’ kids, and all the way down the line. Generational sin is a real thing, and it’s something we as the church need to be addressing.

But even though this topic is on the heavier side, we’re not without hope when it comes to combatting the sin in our lives. We have the power, through Christ living within us, to stop sin in its tracks and prevent it from affecting the generations to come. If you’re needing a healthy dose of conviction today, you’ll find it here, but we’ll also leave you with the encouragement, next steps, and practical tools needed to stop sin from becoming a generational problem before it starts.

In the wake of national tragedy, God has ensured the Gospel will continue to go forward—using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a catalyst for renewal. Earlier this month, my dad—Franklin Graham—challenged those gathered at the annual Samaritan’s Purse Prescription for Renewal Conference to boldly preach the Gospel, just as Charlie did. Today on Fearless we’re bringing you his full talk from the medical missions conference—an encouragement for believers to be bold in standing for the Gospel during these pivotal times.

My dad opened his message by highlighting Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s call to salvation for all those gathered at (and the millions watching online) Charlie Kirk’s memorial a few weeks ago. Senator Rubio’s willingness to be so bold in his faith was incredible to watch, and should embolden us to do the same. My dad also shared pieces of his own testimony, plus stories working in the field with Samaritan’s Purse—from our COVID-19 response in New York City to preparing to enter Gaza with lifesaving aid. Through it all, his message is clear: We no longer have a choice when it comes to proclaiming Jesus as Savior—now is the time to fearlessly preach what we believe, to everyone we meet.
