  • What do you want your legacy to be? For the past five years, I’ve shared about what it means to live fearlessly for your faith in a world that wants to destroy Biblical values. I’ve been able to do this because of the godly legacy that my grandparents and parents have passed down - that God is faithful to those who never compromise the Gospel.
    Today, my dad, Franklin Graham, is joining me to answer questions I’ve never asked him before about his life, what he wants his legacy to be, his relationship with his parents, and how God changed his life 50 years ago in Israel.
    Thank you for being a part of the #FearlessPodcast whether this is your first episode or you’ve been along for this journey for the last five years. I hope we can continue the conversations we have, helping you have a fearless faith in a compromising culture.

    I’m now 76 and from the UK. At 33, as an unbeliever, I read your granddad’s book, How to be Born Again, and by the end of the book , I was a believer and praise the Lord , I’m still going on! My pastors wife, her mother and sister got saved at one of his crusades, and 8 years later, so did her husband. So a small church in the Manchester area of England is still going strong today because of your granddaddy. ❤ What a Mighty God we serve ❤

      I don’t think Trump is perfect. I pray everyday for him and see the hand of God on his life. So to follow Jesus the man has my vote and anyone I have an opportunity to reach.
      You and your dad have been used by God and have the blessing of God on you and your lives. I’m shocked to hear so many Christians are for Harris.

    Hi Cissie, I am 72 years old. In 1968 at the age of 16, I went forward at the Brisbane, Australia Billy Graham Crusade. A milestone in my life. In 1979 I was a worker at the Sydney, Australia Billy Graham Crusade. Can’t recall the year but I recall seeing your Dad preach in Brisbane in the 90s. Heard your Brother, Will Graham preach in Brisbane several years ago in Brisbane and on the 29th June I’ll be going to hear Will preach on the Gold Coast here in Australia. You have a wonderful family legacy and I am forever thankful for Billy’s 1968 Brisbane, Australia Crusade.

    Franklin is perfectly right in his views, Jesus never said things would be easy, but we follow God's Word and the people who don't like things he says is because they are guilty of wrong doing and they don't believe in God's Word . That's on them not on Franklin.... Keep up the good work and ignore all that's being thrown at you . This world is gone mad.... It needs Christian values brought back to the for front to get our morals and values back and go back to being one Country UNDER GOD❗🙏🥰

    I remember when I was younger. Probably in my 20s. In Jackson, Mississippi. I went to a Billy Graham crusade. I will never forget it. There was so many people given their tests to bone a cover and reek dedicate their lives. That's what they were doing. It. I was one of the ones that went up to rededicate my life and to follow God and I remember Billy Graham when I always say if you've come on a bus, they'll wait just come down and rededicate your life and so you could be born again. As a Christian. So yes, I loved Billy Graham and Franklin Graham. I know you too. I've listened to some of your broadcast. And this is a really, really interesting video. Thank you a lot for your daughter having this video with you.

    Hi Cissie, May the Lord bless you and your brother Will, along with your father Franklin, and your aunt, Anne Graham Lotz as you all continue to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Do Not be afraid of the criticism that you get from other people who don't believe like we believe in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray that God will continue to bless all of your ministries together through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit as you all continue to proclaim the Good News of Jesus. I came to the Lord at 9 years old and rededicated my life to Jesus when I was 14 or 15 years old when your Grandfather Billy spoke at the Cow Palace in San Francisco during both times. My Brother Orv got saved when your Grandfather Billy spoke at the Civic Light Opera Auditorium early in his ministry at that time🙏🙏🙏

    Dear Cissie, On 5/15/1957, my 14th birthday, while at the Billy Graham Crusade at the Old Madison Square Garden in NYC, after confessing my sins, I received the Permanent Endwelling of The Holy Spirit, and a Supernatural Experience of a warm, almost hot, heavy oil like Filling from my feet upward. The sermon was Isaiah 6, where I said, 'Here Am I, send me.' . From 1984-1998, I lived in a 1948 old Chevy School Bus, the Lord had me paint red and black Scripture on it, turning it into The Holy Bible Bus. From 1984-1998, He had me travel the USA and British Columbia, holding services and talking about Salvation, mostly at Rest Areas and Truck Stops. Father God has never left me. He's been ever faithful. I am now 81 and still thriving in Him. HalleluJAH! Now And Forever More! More!

    I live in Southern California. Went to Billy's Los Angeles Crusade 20 years ago. I went the 2nd night, Rose Bowl. Filled to capacity. Rev. Graham, in his 80's using I remember, a walker, stood at pupit, said 2 sentences, then sat down. Why should I be disappointed, the fact that I got to attend ONE Billy Graham crusade was a treasure for me. Other podium guests spoke. I visited the beautiful Billy Graham Museum in Charlotte. God gives me very colorful night time dreams, and I had such a beautiful dream that night about my Museum visit. The volunteers were so nice. I've been sending shoeboxes for 25 years; I estimate I've sent about 90. Love doing this project every year. I'm the only Christian in my family, unfortunately.

And your Dad said, "The people and their problems. For a split second, I thought, yea, that's the same problem Jesus has. I just had to smile. I must confess to you, I have great admiration for your family. Growing up, we used to listen to your grandad on tv. We would all sit in front of the tv and listen to his sermon. Even though we never met him , we loved him and your family like yall were our own family. Thank you, Cissy. Vivian in Texas

    That was fascinating story about Jim Bakker's contribution to Franklin's early ministry. Franklin's acknowledgement of Jim's desire to help people, his personal problems aside, was particularly inspiring. In attending Presbyterian Youth Conferences at Montreat in my youth, suppers at Woodland's and day to day activities in Wilkes County, I've spent a lifetime in the vicinity of the Graham family. This video was my first exposure to the family in any personal sense. Thanks for the video and all you all do.

I also met the tall Arther Graham in the house were Billy was raised on the Dairy Farm and enjoyed few minutes talking with Arther Graham son of Billy's elder brother. Love you all till we live with Christ here on earth exploring all histories during Jesus Christ Millennium Kingdom Rule on Earth 🌎 ....... very Soon.

    What a wonderful show this was between Cissy Graham and her exceptional father, Franklin Graham. This whole family has been a blessing to so many, including me, through the years. May God continue to bless each of them as they continue to spread His gospel around the world. I loved "Daddy Bill" as Cissy called him and look forward to many more years of prosperity for Franklin and his organizations. Thank you so much for doing this, Cissy. 🙏🙏

    When Franklin Graham said that now smartphones, iphones, ipods, ipads, Androids and such occupying peoples' time, that brought me to the thought that I do not have a smartphone, or an iphone, or an ipod, or an ipad, or an Android or a tablet of any sort. One time, I bought a smartphone from Target for my dad, and in trying to activate it, I called a representative, and when that representative told me to touch one thing after another, when it would do what it was supposed to do, that representative gave me a 1-800 number to call, all I knew to do was to take that smartphone back to Target and get my money back, and thank God I could do it! It's like God didn't want me to have anything like that!

    My dear young Lady , fantastic conversation on 5+45 anniversaries. 14.06 it brought the sad memory of the passing away
    of mother&grandmother. "Rest in peace" 16.06 surely someone was spoiled at Father Day ! 18.06- 60 minutes I don't know
    how they flew. We reached the upcoming celebration for which in advance I say Happy Birthday ! good health, great success
    in Evangelism and not only, with the joy brought by the pillar of the famous family, accepting the call to live and walk with
    the Son in His Father footsteps. God bless all family knowing that "God loves you " me & us.(PS just a few words; I recommend
    the movie of the year 1967"Fiddler on the roof" where you will see that the parents offer miracle. You will be impressed,I was.

    Funny story. I married a Graham (distant) but I was so turned off when his dad would pronounce, “If you can’t be a Graham marry one; if you can’t marry one associate with one as often as you can.” He wasn’t joking! My mother-in-law even cross-stitched this gem on a pillow! Yikes! (Thank the Lord my husband isn’t like that!) I appreciate how Franklin Graham always brings the conversation to faith in Jesus Christ.

    I've taken a few sabbaticals and I think they can be very helpful. My latest sabbatical was an extra month vacation after working six regular years I had an extra month. It is helpful because there is strength in looking forward to that extra time. I have a very difficult job. It's 43 years since I began foreign missions work.

    Often comes from a Christianity worshiping families mostly carry Christianity spirit for long time or forever. It depends on how close their hearts and influence toward Christianity spirit. As Christianity pastors, or Church service leaders, mostly their family members will be influenced by Christianity spirit much more than normal Christians. Especially as Pastor Billy Graham’s families. If Pastor Billy Graham has preached for life time long as one of the greatest Christianity spirit preachers, since many Christians have been benefited through his preachings. Certainly his sons easily learned and can be great preachers too. Surely in the whole world, many either Christians or not have been benefited from their Christianity services or even none believers may turn into Christianity’s quickly for being nicer persons or being moral, or carrying more loving kindness nature to others. I believe that was the main reasons for Founding Father’s decisions must ensure America’s freedoms of religion which has spread more and more loving kindness nature naturally. In America’s freedoms focused societies, Christianity spirit is very important. America 🇺🇸 is not an iron fist country to force Americans for what, what or what, but as a civilized nation America’s greatness accompanies with Christianity spirit of loving kindness nature naturally. Without Churches, Christianity preacers’ services and efforts, less or much less loving kindness nature, moral standards, efforts for being more principled, nicer, courteous with manners to all others, naturally believe looting, robberies and murdering are very harmful to peaceful societies, discriminations toward either White Americans, or Black Americans, or Spanish Speaking Americans, or Asian Americans, or any other Americans are not loving kindness according to Christianity spirit standards. This is why America’s Founding Fathers must ensure freedoms and equality of opportunities to American citizens of all. Their services for Christianity spirit have brought America’s loving kindness day by day, year by year. America 🇺🇸 has been a very kind and generous country for loving kindness nature. Without Christianity service efforts, America won’t be as so kind and generous to all. However, America’s kindness and generosity nature doesn’t mean we must being lazy or lose hardworking traditions to build our country America’s greatness and taking care of our own life by responsibilities as responsible citizens together. One drop of water, small power, but massive drops of water together will bring tremendous power of impacts of America’s greatness, strength together, because only America’s greatness and strength will help Americans to live better, happier and safer altogether.

    I know that Jesus said to leave it all behind and follow Him. He said that you would suffer for His name sake. I am 76 and still working at $14.95 an hour. I find it hard to except that Franklin Graham makes over $800,000.00 a year. I do hope that he gives most of it to the aid that is so desperately needed by so many in this country and others. He has raised his family and if it is just him and his wife. Why would they need to take that kind of salary? His Dad was so careful to not raise any kind of suspicion about his walk with God. I do not think that he would agree that the salary is in proportion to the job. I know that Franklin is very good at what he does and do not want to take anything away from his ministry but this is really hard to understand.
