Growing up as a Graham, Accepting Your Calling and Leaving a Powerful Legacy - with Franklin Graham

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- 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 ❤

That was so interesting, great stories /memories, every one of them..... I am so grateful for your grandfather, your father and you Cissie Graham Lynch..... I am seventy years old and without Jesus in my life I would be lost. I am not, thank you Jesus......I loved the story about the police officer and the gate......Wow, it all started with Billy Graham's calling from God and here we are today.........Thank you for your channel Cissie Graham Lynch.............. you know, you are just like your dad Jeff Thompson Rockford, Illinois
How blessed you are to have had grandparents and parents that live the Lord with all their minds and hearts and strength. ❤️
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.
Thank You Lord for this precious family 🩸✝️🙌😀♥️
OH. YES. YOUR GRANDAD & DAD WERE & R GOD'S CHOSEN. ALONG WITH JEWISH PEOPLE. MAY OUR LORD JESUS ☝️🕊️✝️ CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU & ALL OF YOUR FAMILY. AMEN ☝️✝️🕊️🙏
My father wasn't a Christian when I was growing up , but when Billy Graham came on the TV , he would tell his children to set down and watch his program. Sweet memories ❤
Well done Cissie! I felt like I needed to see/hear this. Thank you. Well done!!
Thanks so much for sharing this!
God bless you and your family.
You got me crying at the end when you got choked up. What a wonderful interview with your Dad and what a wonderful legacy of faith in the Graham family! You should do an interview with your Mom now to get her perspective on everything. Keep up the good work you are doing for the Kingdom! ❤️🙌🙏
On a side note we are on vacation now heading to the Ark Encounter. But we stopped off in Dickson, Tennessee and went to a relatively new science museum that is Biblically based and it was amazing!!! It's called the Wonder Center and Science Museum and it's part of the David Rives ministry.
I just found this podcast, and I loved it, thank 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🙏🙏🙏
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.
Thank you Jesus!
Thank you so much for this transparent interview with your Dad about his life growing up in the Billy Graham home. I have had a huge respect for the Billy Graham ministry and how Godly integrity was vital in maintaining the ministry that influenced the entire world, myself included. It has confirmed how necessary it is to be focused and I pray I will not be distracted from God's purpose for my life. Thanks again!
Thank you Cissie for this beautifully personal look at your dad. I have admired your grand dad, grandmother, and your dad for many years. May God keep giving us people like this who by their love and obedience will teach us God's ways.
Beautiful Duo
He is exactly like his father and to listen to him it’s like hearing his father all over again
I feel like I saw a movie about a preacher (the story felt like Billy Graham’s). Is anyone familiar with one?
Such true American heros of the Faith. I love the Grahams! I love that no matter the tv show, Franklin NEVER misses an opportunity to share the gospel. A true man of God. Thank you for the show.
I was so blessed by this interview. It encouraged me as a believer to keep trusting God for my family. Praise God for Godly examples.
Always Date your pictures ..documents and write names on back as 20 years later we wont remember
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!
What a beautiful testimony of God’s power in your life.
Thank you both for this interview
I met your father thru Calvary Chapel in Miami and have admired him ever since. I really appreciate what he said to Trump at the RNC last week in Milwaukee. It was sincere, simple gospel and to the point. Thank you Franklin.
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. 🙏🙏
Praise Jesus Amen!
My wife and I were privileged to volunteer at Samaritans Purse for a summer. As a retired Navy Engineering Officer it was such a Blessing. Especially morning devotions. Always used to say " If you saw Franklin with a tie on, you knew it wasn't his first choice"
I am listening from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 with great joy, blessing and tears loving Billy Graham as Global Evengelist to hear Grand Daughter and Father exploring legacy of Graham History. I visited Graham Property during the 2018/19 Christmas Eve when I was on his and wife Grave site praying and thanking God for their lives in the Ministry. 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. Benny and Frieda, our Daughter Sharah Dennis lives in Chalet South Carolina. Thankyou so much Cissie for this great legacy story tell with your father Franklin Graham.
Why would he make that video with Schuller claiming there are other religions worshipping Christ bwithout knowing it. Apostasy no matter how pious.
I love this!.. Thank You...
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.
One of my favorite episode
Continue prayers for you !! All 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Graham family ❤❤❤
I loved hearing your dad’s story/testimony! What an inspiration to remain running the race for Christ in doing what we are each called to do by God. ❤️ I became a Christian at a Billy Graham crusade preached by Ralph Bell here in IN at the age of 12. I am now 68. Thank you to you and your entire family for spreading God’s truths and staying so committed to what God has called you each to do. ❤
Thku sooo much very inspiring we have been Pastors for 37 years now we are 80...in Spain really helped us and our son who sent it to us...the Lord bless you all...we saw Billy Graham in England on TV in 1957 and Glad Tidings Youth for Christ in South Africa in 1963 always precious seeds siwn finally came to the Lord in 1983...heard your Dad in misdion England in 1984 so blessed Ps 143:8 Num 6:24-26...so the Lord multiply back to you all a thousand fold...well done good and faithful servants all of you...❤ we are praying for Israel
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.
I think Billy Graham would say , ‘Don’t stop Praying for your family’s Salvation Now’!!❤🛐💟☦️
No matter what our eyes see,,,, Don’t stop praying. 1Thes. 5:17
Hang in there, dear saint ❤
What a beautiful legacy! The title of this RUclips video says it all! 🙏❤️
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.
GLORY TO GOD
PRAISE HIS NAME
THANK YOU LORD FOR THEIR FAITHFULNESS TO YOUR CALLING
I love this
❤❤❤...May Jehovah continually rest his grace upon you all 🙏
I saw Dr. Billy Graham in 1972 in Impur, Nagaland, when he preached in our Centenary celebration. His message inspired me a lot. And it does till now! Praise God 🙏
Amazing interview... thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great legacy.
❤a
Im grateful to you for Samaritan Purse Thank you dearly Those children would have enjoyed those boxes 📦 😊 I cherish this 😊
I loved Billy Graham when l first saw him in 1957 as a new Christin on a window display in Greece and l thought to myself I WOULD love to go to that Country where JESUS was Spoken as my Savior and Lord openly in public.❤
Loved the interview! I have been a Graham’s admirer ♥️ greetings from El Salvador 🇸🇻
So beautiful, thank you! Much love and my prayers are with all your family and missionary work.❤
I loved this. Thank you for sharing. So much Wisdom in the words said. God bless 🙏💙❤️💙🙏🌻🤗🇺🇸
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.
Really enjoyed this interview. I attended a Billy Graham crusade in Mpls in the seventies. Been in missions here in Japan for over 30 years. Very thankful for the very practical help Samaritan's Purse provided in northern Japan after the big earthquake and tsunami. My daughter was there in the midst of that quake. We were down south. She's still up there in Sendai as are our other grown children and now grandchildren.
What a wonderful childhood. Loving parents. I was appalled when you said you shot squirrels and chipmunks though. I want to protect the little creatures from people who do that. Otherwise, you were so blessed with loving parents who taught you about Jesus.
What an awesome interview. Thank you for your faithfulness to the gospel
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.
❤❤❤
Thank you for a wonderful interview. I’ve so enjoyed your conversation and getting to know you.
First time I’ve watched this. It’s great. Thank you. 😊❤
I read of your conversion and decision magazine. Franklin Graham period I praise the Lord for you. I am thankful to have had god-fearing Christian parents who are perfect examples of Christ. And help me to also be A C.E F teacher as my parents were.
I am from Malaysia l started following Bible study online with Cornerstone Chapel Pastor Gary shared something about Billy Graham what would do to change in your Ministry he answered spend more time reading the Bible and prayers to Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord.
How did you feel when Britain refused your Ministry in UK especially in times like Britain has fallen because most of the Churches is converted to Mosques and Anglician Bishop has totally failed both in Biblically and they have lost their Christians values.
What a great video. Really enjoyed listening to all of this and seeing the photos. Funny bit when his mamma went across the roof with water in a cup
Great video! And I love that you filmed it outdoors as well! 🎉
First time I've heard someone else refer to everything after seventy is in overtime. Me too. 😊
I came across this really blessed.
God bless you and your family ❤
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 grew up listening to your grandfather, I still listen to his wonderful sermons today on RUclips. So nice to find you here and seeing your dad with you. My granddaughter works for Samaritans Purse in Boone! She loves the Lord and the work!!!
I heard Billy Graham preach three times. Very memorable. To God be the glory. Thanks for sharing.
So wonderful to hear about your family and to see the future of the descendants of
The graham family
A true blessing
