Crazy Love

For years, Francis assumed his struggle to believe in God's fatherly love stemmed from his own upbringing without a dad. But a surprising conversation with his daughter, Mercy, revealed a deeper truth: the difficulty in accepting God's personal affection for us isn't just a psychological issue; it's a universal spiritual battle. 
 
In this raw and honest video, Francis and Mercy explore why it's easier to believe in God's power than His love, and they point to the only true solution: a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. It quite literally takes a miracle to believe in God’s love for us. A miracle God wants all of us to experience. 
 
In their new book, ”Beloved,” Francis and Mercy go deeper into these themes, unpacking the lies that keep us insecure, the truths that set us free, and the practices that help us actually live as the beloved children of God.

Finding Security in God’s Love | Beloved: Chapter 1 | Francis Chan and Mercy Gordon

What if the goal of marriage was never just a happy home… but an eternal mission? 
 
In this full teaching and Q&A session, Francis and Lisa Chan challenge the way many Christians think about marriage, parenting, and the purpose of family. They invite us to shift our focus from a “comfortable life” mindset to a Kingdom-first mindset, where God’s glory, eternity, and disciple-making shape everything. 
 
Francis opens by asking why so many messages about marriage focus almost entirely on promises and personal fulfillment, while Scripture repeatedly calls believers to live with urgency, sacrifice, and undivided devotion to the Lord (1 Corinthians 7). Together, Francis and Lisa share stories from their own marriage and family life: downsizing, giving sacrificially, fostering, moving in faith, and learning to pursue God’s mission together. 
 
In the second half, the conversation shifts into a powerful Q&A, where Francis and Lisa respond to real questions and issues couples and parents are facing, including: 
 
- What to do when a husband and wife feel called to different “missions” 
- The difference between knowledge and Spirit-given conviction in children 
- How to live on mission without neglecting your family 
- Navigating Sabbath, extended family expectations, and honoring parents 
- Preparing kids for a broken world without raising them in a “Christian bubble” 
 
Throughout it all, they keep returning to one clear invitation: Seek first the Kingdom of God and trust Him with everything else.

Marriage on Mission | Francis & Lisa Chan

Today, Francis Chan sits down with Joni Eareckson Tada for a deeply personal conversation about perseverance, joy, and enduring faith in a life marked by suffering. Joni shares how nearly 60 years in a wheelchair, seasons of pain, illness, and discouragement have become the place where Jesus meets her most intimately, strengthening her to “fight for joy” day after day. 
 
Together, they talk about what helps believers endure to the end: partnering with the Holy Spirit, building a “repository” of Scripture to combat lies, and learning to see hardship as an invitation to know Christ more deeply (Philippians 3:8–10). Joni also reflects on the beauty of community that grows organically around weakness, the joy of serving “the least of these,” and the hope of heaven that shapes how we live now. 
 
If you’ve been discouraged, tired, or tempted to give up, this episode will strengthen your faith and remind you that Jesus is near and worth holding onto. 
 
And we encourage you to dive deeper into a revelation of the love of God with Francis’ latest book, “Beloved.” It’s available now wherever books are sold. For more information go to http://www.crazylove.org/beloved

Faith that Endures | Francis Chan & Joni Eareckson Tada

What if your constant dissatisfaction isn’t about needing more*,* but about forgetting what you already have in Christ? 
 
In this powerful teaching, Francis Chan shares how God deeply confronted his heart during a trip to India - through persecuted pastors, imprisoned believers, and women who have given their lives to serve the forgotten. As Francis reflects on covetousness, contentment, and what it means to be truly dead to the world, he opens up about his own repentance, his decision to fast from technology, and his longing to return to a simple, focused intimacy with God. 
 
This message challenges us to ask hard questions: 
 
- Are we more shaped by desire for earthly things than hunger for God? 
- When did coveting become “normal” to us? 
- What would it look like to genuinely rejoice in the Lord… always? 
 
This is an invitation to slow down, tune out the noise, and rediscover the joy of seeking “the things that are above.”

The Sin We Don’t Take Seriously | Francis Chan

Your life is not an accident. The places you’ve lived, the people you’ve met, the timing of your story… Scripture says God was at work in all of it. 
One day, we’ll see clearly how God used every relationship, every delay, every unexpected turn to draw us closer to Himself. And when we finally stand before Him, we’ll understand just how intentional - and how loving - He has always been. 
This is the heartbeat of Francis’ book, “Beloved” - realizing that your entire life has been shaped by a God who desires to be known, trusted, and loved in return.

Finding God in Your Story

You can memorize every verse in the Bible and still miss the heartbeat of God. 
 
You can listen to every sermon, read every Christian book, sing every worship song, and yet still miss what God most wants you to know. 
 
In this teaching from *Chapter 2: Revelation* of his new book *Beloved*, Francis shares what the Apostle Paul knew: some spiritual truths can't be taught — they must be revealed. Which is why Paul didn't just teach in his letters, he prayed for a miracle: that God would enlighten the eyes of his readers' hearts, so they could finally see something profound they'd been missing. 
 
That's the invitation of Beloved, not to gain more information, but to seek divine revelation. So you can know, and feel, and experience how deeply you are treasured by God.

How to Open the Eyes of Your Heart | Beloved: Chapter 2 | Francis Chan

In this Christmas message, Francis Chan centers on one of the most powerful truths of Scripture: Emmanuel, God with us. 
 
Reading from Matthew 1, Francis reflects on how God has always been the One who initiates relationship with humanity. From creation, to the tabernacle, to Jesus taking on flesh, and finally to the Holy Spirit dwelling within believers, the story of Scripture reveals a God who continually moves closer to His people. 
 
Rather than striving to earn God’s presence, Francis invites us to respond, to open the door to a God who is already knocking, who jealously yearns for us, and who desires to pour His love into our hearts by His Spirit. 
 
This message calls us to deeper adoration, renewed faith, and a fresh experience of God’s nearness. Not just at Christmas, but every day.

The God Who Comes Near | Francis Chan

So much of our insecurity comes from comparison, wondering if we measure up. But God interrupts that spiral with one simple truth: “Before I formed you, I knew you.” 
 
You are not an accident. You are not overlooked. You were known—fully—before you ever took a breath.

Where Security Really Comes From

Do you ever find yourself rushing through everything, obsessing over a specific goal, or feeling weighed down by the all-too-common thought, "Why can't I be more like them? I must not be doing enough." 
 
What if it didn't have to be that way? 
 
What if the point of life wasn't a scoreboard… but just being still and knowing He is God? 
 
Francis Chan shares the importance of approaching life from a deep awareness of God's loving presence, the peace that comes when we let go of comparison, and the joy of walking out the uniquely designed purpose He set aside for you. 
 
We pray you come away from this message with a greater confidence that your God is with you, for you, and more than able to carry you through whatever you’re walking through.

The Source of Security | Francis Chan

We live in a time when it’s never been easier to build a brand. But discipleship was never about branding. You can assemble the right team, craft the perfect message, and grow an audience quickly. But none of that guarantees transformed lives. 
 
Jesus invites us into something far deeper: lives lived in such a way that others can observe, imitate, and follow. Discipleship means opening our homes, our relationships, and our daily rhythms to others, letting them see how faith shapes every part of life.

The Power of Discipleship | Promo

In this message, Francis Chan shares the profound impact that discipleship has had on his walk with God, his leadership, and his growth in Christlikeness. 
 
As Francis revisits key moments from his story, he also unpacks God’s model for how discipleship is meant to work, equipping and sharpening younger generations while helping older generations find joy in seeing them flourish and lead like Jesus. 
 
He also encourages each of us to look for the younger ones in our lives we can pour into, to take our personal walk with Jesus seriously, and to make true disciples not just through sermons, but through our everyday lives. This is how we create light that continues shining long after Jesus calls us home.

So many of us quietly live with an orphan spirit, believing we don’t quite belong, that we’re different, or somehow not enough. But God doesn’t call you a visitor. He calls you His child. He made a home for you. He bought you at a price. 
 
Don’t doubt His Word. Reach for Him. Take Him at His word, and rest in the truth that you are deeply, fully, and forever loved.

From Orphan to Beloved

When we say “I can’t overcome this sin,” we’re not just doubting ourselves, we’re doubting the very faithfulness of God. 
 
He tells us clearly: your temptation is not unique. And you are never without a way out. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives inside you. Grace doesn’t just forgive your sin, grace empowers you to leave it behind.

What God Says About Your Sin

In this honest conversation, Francis Chan and Gavin Ortlund invite us to look deeper than theological debates or online disagreements for answers to our questions, and to hunger instead for the presence, unity, and love of Christ above all the noise of the world. Francis shares how our roles change as we grow in Christ, from mentees and students, to mentors and protectors of our younger brothers and sisters in Christ. 
 
As they explore Francis’ journey with communion, the real presence of Jesus, and the historic practices of the church, they remind us that the bread and the cup were always meant to draw God’s people together, not drive them apart. 
 
They also encourage us to ground our identity not in arguments or platforms, but in the Gospel. We’ve been given the gift of salvation through Jesus’ sacrifice, and we have a never-ending invitation into His presence to receive all that we need.

When Resting Feels Harder Than Working

"God’s soul delights in me." 
Let that truth wash over you. Not just "loves." Not just "accepts." The very soul of the Creator of galaxies finds delight in you. What if you stopped trying to be impressive and started living as if you were a source of infinite joy to God? 
In this vulnerable and intimate teaching from Chapter 3: Identity of his book Beloved, Francis unpacks the life-changing truth that God doesn’t just tolerate you — He cherishes you with the same delight He has for His own Son. And this, more than anything else, is meant to shape how you view and value yourself. 
Do you live as if you are a source of infinite joy for God? As if He delights in you in the depths of His soul? If you find yourself hesitating, even a little, to give a wholehearted "YES" to those questions... you may want to check out Francis' new book, "Beloved". Written for anyone who wants to journey into a deeper knowledge of God's Love for them.

God's Soul Delights In You | Beloved: Chapter 3 | Francis Chan

God reveals Himself to us as “merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.”(Exodus 34) 
 
Do we really believe that? 
 
Not just the idea that God loves us. But that His Son paid for our sins, His Spirit fills us, and His love actually changes our desires? 
 
Francis reminds us that this isn’t about winning arguments or proving points. It’s about wanting the people we love to stand before God full of joy, completely washed clean, and enjoying Him forever. 
 
If that’s what our conversations are aiming toward, everything else can fall in place.

Less Arguing. More Loving.

The grace of God doesn’t just improve your life, it transforms your character. Real grace makes you resemble Jesus Himself. 
 
Look at Jesus on the cross: rejected, mocked, bleeding... still giving, still loving, still interceding for the very people hurting Him. That is what grace produces. Not comfort, not ease, not earthly blessing, but Christlikeness.

The Evidence of God’s Grace

In ministry, it’s easy to look sideways - comparing, competing, trying to “do church” better than the next person. But Scripture pulls our eyes upward. God is doing something so much bigger than our ministry strategies: He is forming a supernatural family where love makes angels stand in awe. 
 
When believers from different backgrounds, personalities, cultures, and stories love one another deeply... when we actually give our lives away instead of just singing about it... when we fix our eyes on eternity more than earthly status… the heavenly realm watches and says, “Look at God’s wisdom on display.” This is the beauty of the Church that Jesus died for.

Why Our Love Should Shock the World

In this message, Francis Chan shares a deeply moving encounter from a trip to China - a remote village where 70 Christian families adopted more than 160 children with special needs. Their joy, sacrifice, and shared life gave Francis a living picture of the Church as Jesus intended: humble, selfless, and radically committed to “the least of these.” 
 
Francis contrasts this with how easily the church in the West becomes consumer-oriented, centered on preference, personality, and comfort. He reminds us that the grace of God doesn’t simply make us forgiven; it makes us *givers*. It reshapes our character into the likeness of Christ, who emptied Himself, became a servant, and gave His life for others.
