For over 30 years, Ken Isaacs has (literally) run into the fires of war, genocide, and natural disaster around the world. Serving with Samaritan’s Purse alongside my dad, Ken has seen and experienced evil so total, contrasted by miracles that have no explanation outside of the hand of God. Today on Fearless Ken shares the heart behind his new book—Running to the Fire—plus what led him to a life spent serving the Lord and going where God has called, even when there are no roads. From wi...

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. The nomination is a great honor and privilege and, if confirmed, a position I would take on as the calling from the Lord that it is.

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 ...
