Coping with Unimaginable Loss & Choosing Hope, with Dr. Lee Warren
Fearless with Cissie Graham LynchShow Notes
What do we say to someone who is walking through the unimaginable—the loss of a child, a devastating diagnosis, the fallout from a natural disaster? What happens when that tragedy enters our own lives? On today’s episode of Fearless I had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Lee Warren—neurosurgeon, author, and Iraq war veteran—to talk about how to choose hope and find joy again, even in the face of unimaginable loss. Dr. Lee knows pain intimately. After battling through severe PTSD from his ...

My book, Stand Steady, is out in the world today! To celebrate, we recorded a live episode of Fearless last week from the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina. There I was joined by listeners and friends, plus my close family friend, Preston Parrish, who asked me all about Stand Steady, many of the stories I write about in the book, and what this new chapter for our family could look like. It was such an honor to have Preston there with me, and a fun challenge to get to be ...
Today’s episode of Fearless is a special one. This week President Donald Trump announced that he has asked me to serve as U.S. Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom.

I grew up with a lot of anger and resentment towards my dad. By the time I was in college, those feelings had turned into bitterness, defiance, and unforgiveness.

It was there in Kenya that I saw my dad living out all God had called him to, and it was there that I finally forgave him for being gone during a lot of my childhood. Today on Fearless we’re talking about one of the 10 attributes I ch...
Last time on Fearless I finally got to share with you the news of my upcoming book, Stand Steady. Today we’re going to dive into much of the heart behind why I wrote the book, answering the question: “What kind of woman will you choose to be?” And really, that question comes down to choices. We make over 35,000 choices every day. Most of those choices don’t matter all that much, but some of those choices are slowly defining who we will become in the years ahead. And if we simply choose to sit...
Welcome back to a brand new season of Fearless! I usually take a break from the podcast over the summer, but this summer especially looked very different for our family in many ways. It was a quieter season, a season we didn’t really plan for, as my mom battled some health issues and our family stayed put in Boone. But sometimes even those seasons we don’t plan for can end up being exactly what God uses to slow us down and show us what really matters. That was this summer for me. Going ...
