The Billy Graham Library, which reopens to the public this summer, hosted a mother-daughter brunch on June 4 at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. The packed room was full of women eager to set a good example for the young ladies in their lives. Franklin Graham's daughter and mother of two Cissie Graham Lynch (right) hosted the event, with special guest and fellow mom Erin Weidemann, a five-time cancer survivor and founder of Truth Becomes Her, which equips women to step into their unique leadership roles.
"As parents, according to Deuteronomy, that is our No. 1 primary responsibility we have as parents, is the spiritual impact we have on our children," Lynch shared. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 says, "And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise" (ESV).
"Girl power" is a common phrase, but during the brunch, young girls were reminded that their power and identity come from Christ, and He loves them more than they can imagine.
