- What do we believe in? Our faith in Jesus is the foundation in our marriage, family, and of course our entire life! We had the fun opportunity of visiting the @billygraham Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina! Did you know that’s how we met? I (Lawson) read an interview the BGEA covered on Tiffany and reached out to her that way - now we are married! This is a special video as we learn more about one of our favorite people. In this honest, clear, and heartfelt visit, we hope this video helps you reflect on your own faith, and eternity.
If you have any questions regarding the Gospel, we’d love you to type your comments!
“Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion; it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.”

When Billy Graham came to Idaho I was 7 months pregnant with my youngest. I couldn’t climb steps in the stadium so the ticket office arranged for us to sit on the main floor. When I was recovering after giving birth to my daughter, I made sure to pack Ruth Graham’s book to read during my 3-day stay in the hospital.
I decided to follow Jesus at age nine and still do 64 years later.
Billy Graham was one of the greatest spiritual leaders our lifetimes. He did not care about the color of your skin, your religious affiliation, or your political beliefs. He cared about everyone!
Too bad alot of Christians don't follow the same way.
I only live about 1/2 an hour from there. I've visited several times. Go back at Christmas it is magical. I have friends that work there and in the Billy Graham offices next door. I go to your the offices too. They are amazing too.
Hey Lawson - we enjoy your music so much - especially “Back to Christmas”. - keep singing & writing as God Leads ………BLESSINGS to you both!!!
You’re too kind! Thanks for listening 🤎
When I was a child my mom thought we were boarding a bus to a Blue Army Rosary , except she had the date wrong and it was a Billy Graham event. Well I am an Bible Believing Christian and I believe that was a major contributing factor. Thank you for sharing a tribute to Billy.
This made me cry !!!!! It's so good!!! I have been to the Billy Graham Memorial, and yes, it's a wonderful place to remind us of someone who lived his whole life to point to Jesus life , death and resurrection. that He died and rose again to save us and give us eternal life if we repent of the ways in which we broke Gods law and put our full trust in Jesus to save us !!!
There is nothing more important than this!!! Thank you Lawson and Tiffany for focusing on how important this message is for us to be saved and for us who are saved to reach the lost!!! ❤😊 and yes the creation museum and Noah's ark are great places to go too!!!! 😊
The day he died, I imagined all the angels in Heaven singing and all the Heavenly hosts rejoicing. I wish I could have seen his welcome home.
I grew up watching Billy Graham on TV. He is the reason my Pawpaw asked Jesus to be his Lord and Savior. One day, I hope to visit. It’s so peaceful and beautiful.
Wow! Amazing!
I heard Billy Graham speak at a crusade in our small hometown when I was a teenager (that was 60 years ago!) and what a powerful man of God! He spoke truth. God walked with him. I rededicated my life to the Lord. It is such a blessing to me to see young people on fire for the Lord. I thank God every day that our grown children are saved and brining all our grand babies up in God's Word. Keep preaching your faith you two!! The world needs it!
The Billy Graham Library is definitely on our bucket list. :)
Great video guys. Anyone else notice Tiffs glow.❤️🇨🇦
I am from Charlotte and love going to the Billy Graham Library. You should see it at Christmas. Beautiful
Amen I would love to go there. Praise the Lord
Thank you for sharing your visit and how you met. Such a neat video.
Hi there Lawson and Tiffany 🤗. I've been wanting to go there for quite some time and hopefully I'll be able to before the End of the year. I too am a Born Again Christian and I never get tired of hearing Billy Graham's Sermons. I can remember when My Dad said that when He was 16 years old, He went to a Billy Graham Crusade in Washington DC. When Billy Graham gave the Invitation for People to receive Jesus into Their Lives, My Dad went forward and asked Jesus into His Heart. My Dad's name was Moses and and I'm so glad that Daddy did ask Jesus into His Heart, Because He's been with Jesus now for 9 years... I also saw Will Graham last June 2022, He reminds Me a lot of His Dad Franklin and His Grandfather when He preaches. It's such a Blessing that He and His Dad Franklin are still Spreading the Gospel Everywhere that God sends Them... Praise The Lord and Thank You Both for not being afraid to share Your Love for The Lord as well with Us. God Bless You Always ❤❤
Thank you for sharing this video. This was so lovely. 🌷💕
This is an answer to prayer. Tomorrow i start as a Hospice chaplin. I'm going to study Billy Graham for encouragement! I was at a crusade as a young teen. I felt the Spirit of God as he spoke. Wow!
You two are true disciples of Christ, you inspire me. 🙏🏻
You two are such a blessing, thank God He brought you two together. There is a purpose for your life as man and wife for the glory of His Kingdom. Love you guys 💕
Thank you! Simply thank you, I could feel your emotions Tiffany. ❤️
Wow this was so cool to see how your relationship started and the Billy Graham Museum, never knew it existed. Thanks for sharing. God bless the both of you.
My aunt and uncle worked for Billy Graham and Franklin Graham. My uncle retired a few years ago. My aunt just retired in June. I believe she worked around 25 years for them. She worked right alongside both of them. She has a lot of pictures and so many memories of all their travels. She always said she was blessed every day.
Thanks for watching!
Such an impactful video. I love your hearts to share the gospel and live out your faith in the world. God bless you both!
Love the way you guys shared this about Billy Graham so well done. 💞Enjoying watching you guys (not always from this account but I do watch). Also, Tiffany don't feel bad I did not know his name was William either and I have watched him a lot too. It's okay, we know now. God bless you guys. 😊💕
A few family members and I were there shortly after Billy Graham passed away. Such a peaceful place to honor this great man of God. The stairs walking up through the cross gave me goosebumps.
You two are really precious! Thank you for giving us a peek inside your life and taking us on your many adventures.
Thanks so much for watching!
Such a great video. Ty so much for sharing this. It was great! I felt Gods presence from here. Awesome. God does have a plan.
I feel that this was your best vlog to date! I loved seeing the Billy Graham memorials and how it then turned into how the two of you met.
Aw thanks so much for tuning in! We really appreciate the feedback too!
Wow 😍 this is by far the best adventure you've taken us on yet, I JUST LOVE BILLY GRAHAM, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING US ALONG!! Billy is my favorite preacher ever, especially with all the self seeking "pastors" in today's world he had a true passion for the TRUE word of God and wasn't caught up in being a part of the wordly society!!! What a life well lived ✝️🤍
We’re so glad you watched!
Loved this❤ thank you for sharing
Thanks law and Tiff. Loved the library, can't wait to go. Love Billy Graham wish there were more like him out there today
Greetings from the middle of Nebraska. Thank you for taking us along on your visit to Billy Graham's Museum. I don't know if I will ever get to visit this place so I appreciate the opportunity to see a bit of it. Looks like a very beautiful and inspirational place. Mr. Graham was an amazing individual. As always your video is so fun to watch!!
Saw Billy Graham as a teenager
Sill remember go and i am 63. Went 2 years ago during Christmas..❤
Thanks for sharing!
I remember going to see Billy Graham here in New Zealand in 1970. I remember his love of Christ shone through with every word he spoke.
That’s amazing!
The Billy Graham Musem is definitely on my list for places to visit. I grew up watching and listening to Billy Graham through my Grandparents so it would be awesome to visit one day Lord Willing.
So awesome to hear how that you and Tiffany met.
God Bless you guys
From Australia
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for taking us on a virtual tour of the Billy Graham library. He was such an inspiration in my life, and I’ve never had the opportunity to go to Charlotte and to visit his place so that was very special. I got choked up during the singing by the Russian army choir. That was amazing. Billy Graham touched hearts all over the world.
I love Billy and Ruth.
Such a wonderful video! Thank you for sharing Lawson and Tiffany 😊💕
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I was totally wrapped in goose-bumps while watching it. Billy Graham was such a great blessing to our world and in our lives. Sending you prayers, love and gentle hugs from Donna in Florida......
Billy Graham is amazing! Thanks for watching!
Love this video! Thank you for sharing ❤ Love the Bates Families ❤
Thank you for sharing. Never heard of this place. ❤. I’ve never been to any of the presidential libraries either. Please video tape those too.
Yes! We are releasing a video soon with a Presidential library!
Love this so much. I would love to go to this Billy Graham library . It just moves me so much.
The two of you amaze me every time I watch you❤ your parents I am sure are so very proud of you and your faith is so great to see!!! Thanks for sharing what a beautiful place ❤#lovebatesfamily #trulyamazing #faithcanmovemountains #lawtiff❤️
Thanks for the support 🙏
@@lawbates your so very welcome 🙏
That place is awesome. I live in Hickory, about 45 minutes away. You should come back in December for their Christmas...it's beautiful ❤️ and carriage rides through the grounds...Enjoy.
This is the first time in your ENTIRE life you learned that Billy Graham... was a Williams 😂😊 so eloquent and sweet❤️ I love the way Brandon has slowed down some, you both take turns speaking beautifully🔊 🎉❤
Billy Grahams library is beautiful!!!
Billy Graham started the Christian radio station in my area in Minnesota over 70 years ago.
Thank you for sharing, this makes me want to go! ❤😊
Thank You for sharing! Enjoyed this! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always
Thank you for sharing
Were you giving us a hint Tiffany? You are such a sweet couple. Love how you use your platform to witness. Thanks for sharing.
they drop a "hint" in just about every video. 😁😁
@@andreafelton689 around the 3:12 minute mark
So not okay to constantly pester someone about pregnancy. Do you really think she’d announce it in the comments if she was? Don’t be obsessive and annoying.
Thank you for sharing this!! It has been 13 years since we have been to the Billy Graham Library and Home. We went as a Church Group and it was amazing! Now that we have 2 littles of our own we want to go back!!
Thanks for sharing! I hope to get there one day soon. Lord willing. You guy's went to Yellowstone and I commented that I'd wanted to do that too on your video. Next thing you know,God prepared the way and enabled me to go. There is nothing more beautiful than to behold how God moves His children. A blessing and a gift that you were able to go. ❤
This was so inspiring! Thank you for sharing ❤
So glad you liked it!
Amazing how God works
A beautiful video God will bless you someday with a beautiful baby, they are a very nice couple, greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
Thanks for watching!
Loved this…thank you!❤
Thank you! 😄
What a Beautiful video ❤
Watching from NC. Ive been to the Billy Graham Library a few times. Beautiful place. Great video!❤🙏
Billy Graham was so good
I have been waiting all day for your video. Glad to see you both.
Aw yay! Thanks for watching!
I love all of your video in jesus names amen😇
Very cool!
Love That article Tiffany!!!
What article?
Family and god are important in are life
*our
Is all about God to me he's number one and always going to be number one I love God
Watching from Texas.
I want to go there soo bad!! It is on my bucket list🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this great expierence with us! PS: do y'all ever watch Revival Radio TV? They go through all the great revivals of history, I think y'all would enjoy it.
Billy Graham was a mere vessel. His life and words are an inspiration to us as believers, but never mistake his ability with God's power. The crusades, the meetings with world leaders, the television appearances are all the work of the Lord and the Lord alone. Place your faith in Christ alone.
True!
True but even scripture s honor the work of Christians who served the Lord well.
Absolutely. @@mktay2067
I want to go there! 🙏❤️
amen
I didn’t know Tiffany is an actress , great article she wrote
I just subscribed what a fun loving couple you are
Aw yay! Thank you 🤍
Watching from Philippines ♥️
Love the Philippines! Thanks for watching!
The GREAT SAINT BILLY GRAHAM.
Your about 2 hours away from me. North Carolina is a beautiful state If you have a chance you need to see the Mountains. We got Tweetsie Railroad. Blowing Rock Biltmore Estate that is goregous there would love to see Biltmore Estate at Christmas time
You guys should go to Sturbridge, Mass and see Old Sturbridge Village. You would love it!
Fun video. Signed petition for Lydia.
🤘😇hove a good day today in Tennessee
You too!
❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Please share on your post the links to help Lydia’s family.
I live in NC. Where all the Franklins originally lived before he moved to Charlotte.
💕
Here's a name idea for a boy. William Graham Bates!
Lawson is William Lawson Bates so he should be able to use his name.
Nice video Well sometimes in family people use a name a lot Mrs bates middle name Jo is middle name of two granddaughters I like it’s nice and sweet if someone uses a loved ones first or middle name
Interesting. Thank you for sharing. Hope you stop by Papa Bill's on your way back to Nashville.
I definitely think your first son should be named William. I had already thought that before this video because of Lawson’s name being William, but now that I know y’all met because of an article on Billy Graham, there is no doubt that his name must be William Bates ❤
There is a Bates nephew on the way is already named William (Chad and Erin)
@@Littleangel_-jp4xb
Well maybe they will call their son Will and Lawson and Tiffany can call theirs Billy. 🤷♀️
@@CheapsKate77 They're not even pregnant. Erin is due in 2 months and already announced the name. 🤷♀
@@Littleangel_-jp4xb
I know they aren’t pregnant. Many people think of their future children’s names prior to becoming pregnant. 🤷♀️
Please make a video for your sister-in-law, Lydia's, urgent family situation. Anyone you can possibly reach would be such a help to them.
Did you see the video Trace and Lydia posted about an hour ago?
Trace and Lydia just shared an important update on their page! You can check it out HERE: ua-cam.com/video/6fbu0Xiy45s/v-deo.htmlsi=W3rqZ2YIl1J2Imhk
Praying🙏🏼for Sweet Lydia
&. Her Wonderful Family,
from 🇦🇺Australia.
I tried to Sign the Petition, &. Sadly as a NON US-Citizen, I am Not Eligible to Sign.☹️
I guarantee if Trump was President this wouldn't be happening
I have not seen a single Bates make a video about this, other than Trace. It's very weird, given Trace's wife, new baby, & in-laws are set to be deported to Germany based on a political decision to overturn the Romeike's status, by the Obama administration. They're to be deported to a place where they have no home, their children will be taken away, & one parent will likely be jailed - for homeschooling. I get that everyone has busy lives, but when my family faces a crisis we all pull together & pray & spread the word that prayer & help is needed. All these Bates videos seem so tonedeaf when one family member is facing crisis. I'm not saying, stop the world, but a single video talking about this issue seems to be needed.
Another William in the family one day? Chad and Erin are using it too!
Isn't Erin naming her son wiliam
I love you guys ,,any baby coming soon ???❤❤❤❤
Leave them alone. They should be allowed to each their marriage just being them until they’re ready.
Would love to hear what you think of IBLP? You don’t seem to follow it, praise God. Lawson when did you get out?
Not everyone who grew up in it is required to speak out or publicly denounce it. If he wanted to discuss it, he would. Please take this video as your clarification and hint to let it be.
@@Littleangel_-jp4xbexactly
Here from @vickie wright. God is my everything! Thank you for being so bold to step out in your faith. My brother has been there. I hope to go someday soon. 😊
Liam Graham Bates.
Do y’all ever run into fans while y’all are at places like that? I have been to the Billy Graham museums so I was just wondering if people recognize y’all.
But Erin's new baby coming is named William. Graham would be great though.
Just looked up Billy Graham and....I give him the Least Bad American Evangelist Award. Most of the usual stuff: Anti-abortion (though with the rape exception, a moderate position in the modern anti-abortion movement), anti-communism and pro-Vietnam War (but somehow PRO-North Korea. Really went out of his way to have the worst possible position on that one), anti-feminism and anti-women's rights to the point of denying his daughter access to higher education and explicitly believed that a woman belonged in the home and nowhere else (he would have disproved of Tiffany's acting career (speaking of which, Tiffany, get yourself the role of Cindy Moon/Silk in the Sony/Marvel series, the role you already played in Spider-Man: Homecoming!!!)), was against LGBT rights (though, in fairness, though it was a minor sin, so to speak, and not a big deal....until it came time to publicly endorse a ban on same-sex marriage), and apparently told Richard Nixon he believed the Jews controlled the American media (but was totally down with Israel, which is nowhere near as bad as being down with North Korea as long as you're not a starving Palestinian child). BUT.... he was down with black people, and was actually strongly in favor of racial integration. He was actually really progressive by the standards of the 1950s.
Not gonna lie, I was actually expecting way worse. Blindsided by the pro-North Korea stance, though.
I guess he wasn't as bad as evangelists of today but that doesn't mean he didn't have hateful views
@@dustinsindledecker154 No, he had a long slew of hateful views. All the standard evangelist hate. BUT he was down with black people, so he at least gets a thumbs up there.
Bill Graham was a great man. Sad that his son had to bring politics into his Operation Christmas child organization.
His son is a real A hole.
I am curious on why on your channel your not asking your followers to sign the petition for your brother and his wife and her family?
because Trace and Lydia have already made a video about it.
What do you want them to do?
Because this page may have different followers and it's his brother
@@rhondarichmond9259that is none of your business.
Sadly Billy Graham was okay with abortion and had some bad theology too. But it does seem he did lead a lot of people to the Lord. Hopefully they followed good theology!
What is wrong with a woman's right to choose?
@@dustinsindledecker154 because every human life has value and worth
@@ATiredMom oh so you want to force rape victims have babies?
@@dustinsindledecker154 God has a plan for every child, despite how he or she came to be.
Bill is short for William. In the Name of Lewis& Clark public Schopls teach thst. However, most jomeschooling curriculums dont.
