I often tease that I went from being Franklin Graham’s daughter to Corey Lynch’s wife and now Margaret’s mom. Somewhere between growing up in my dad’s shadow and marrying a football star, I lost my feeling of personal significance. Being surrounded by men of great talent makes me feel worthless.
This is a picture of two-year-old Nafissa. She lives in Niger. Nafissa only weighed 11.5 pounds when her mother, 25-year-old Rahamou, brought her to the Samaritan’s Purse clinic several months ago. They were both starving. Due to severe acute malnutrition, Nafissa cannot see. “Before Nafissa’s blindness, she used to crawl and make small noises,” Rahamou …
The POWER is in the GOSPEL. People often assume just because I was born with the last name “Graham,” that I was born with the Scriptures already memorized and the sweet loving story of the Gospel flows eloquently from my mouth at any divine appointment.
I was born decades after Dr. Martin Luther King’s legendary address in our nation’s capital – and 31 years after Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat. Being born in 1986, I obviously have never experienced the pains and fear of segregation. My only knowledge of the civil rights movement, I gained from …
How often do you compare yourself – your life – to those around you? Maybe not in a way that screams “I’m coveting what you have,” but in a more subtle way. In today’s digital age we are inundated more and more with images of the perfect family, the perfect house, the perfect outfit, the …

Thanksgiving is upon us. Which means, it is that time of year again. It is National Collection week for Operation Christmas Child.
In honor of my grandfather’s 96th birthday this Friday, I will be giving away copies of Billy Graham: God’s Ambassador. This is personally one of my favorite books. It captures my grandfather’s lifelong mission of sharing the Gospel around the world in hundreds of pictures, quotes, comments and personal reflections.
The last few months have been grueling, to say the least, for my dad, Franklin Graham.
You may have heard rumblings on various social media sites about the popular Cold Water Challenge. But what is it?
The Cold Water Challenge is a spin-off of the Polar Bear Plunge that many take part in during the winter months to raise money for charity.
Here’s how it works:
I was nominated by our family friends Tim & Christie Haas. While visiting my family in the mountains of North Carolina I took the Cold Water Challenge in plunge style with their son, Wes, in honor of Operation Heal Our Patriots, a project of Samaritan’s Purse.
I am nominating my dad and Alison & Bobby Idol and their entire family. You have 24 hours to take the Cold Water Challenge or donate to your favorite military charity. (Dad has promised to take the plunge in Alaska within 24 hours of returning from Western Europe.) And Wes has nominated my brother and sister-in-law, Edward and Kristy Graham.
There have been some reports of people getting injured while taking the Cold Water Challenge by jumping in cold waters they aren’t familiar with. Please be safe in completing the challenge. Do not jump into water that you do not know the depth. Never dive into water you cannot see through.
It has been a long time coming, but my dad has finally embraced social media. My dad does not need any more reasons to be glued to his phone, but it is pretty hysterical at a football game when I look over and he is posting a picture on Instagram.
