Crazy Love

In this message, Francis Chan unpacks 14-17, reminding believers that there is far more to experience of God’s power, unity, and answered prayer than we often settle for. He challenges the church to believe Jesus’ words at face value—that those who believe in Him will do even greater works—and to pursue a life wholly set apart, distinct from the world.

Prayer, Power, and the Promises of Christ

Don’t be surprised by suffering. The Word of God never promised an easy life. It promised fiery trials. Yet so many Christians still ask, “Why is this happening?” It’s because the truth isn’t being preached. Scripture is clear — suffering is part of following Jesus. Expect it. Embrace it. Don't whine through it. The life of comfort is the exception, not the rule.

Don't Be Surprised by Suffering

So many believe they have time. Time to chase fun. Time to follow the world. Time to get serious about God later. But walk through a cemetery and the truth is written on every stone. Time isn’t guaranteed. God is ready to judge the living and the dead. Nothing is hidden from Him. Others may not see it. The church may not know. But God sees. And the time to turn to Him is now.

Turn to God Today

We live in a culture that says, "Follow your passions. Do whatever feels right." But the Word of God speaks the opposite. The call is to *turn from human passions* and *live for the will of God.* His desires become our desires. It’s not about personal freedom. It’s about surrender. True life is found when passions are laid down at His feet and exchanged for His will.

Stop Living for Your Passions

In this message, Francis Chan teaches on 1 Peter 4 and the essential role of suffering in the Christian life. He explains that following Jesus means embracing suffering, not avoiding it. Francis unpacks how overcoming sin requires suffering, how believers are called to live for the will of God instead of human passions, and how we are to arm ourselves with the same mindset Christ had. He also emphasizes the importance of loving one another, serving without grumbling, and preparing for trials with a clear mind and a self-controlled life.

Embrace Suffering | Francis Chan

Our best times are when we sit face-to-face, not shoulder-to-shoulder, when we laugh, share, cry, and pray together. God’s design for the Church has always been family. Not an audience. 
 
What your soul longs for isn’t just good teaching—it’s real connection. This is why Jesus lived the way He did. He didn’t just preach—He shared life. If we want to become like Him, we have to do the same.

God’s Design Is Family

In a world obsessed with constant connection, why do we feel so alone? Francis Chan paints a picture of the kind of relationships we were created for: deep, Spirit-filled connection with one another and with God. He’ll unpack why this kind of community is so rare today... and what it will take for the Church to become what it was always meant to be.

This Is What We’re Made For | Francis Chan

We’ve settled for something far less than what God intended. We shoot off a quick text and think we’re in community with each other. But Jesus didn’t love us from a distance. He walked with people. He ate with them. He laughed, wept, and lived alongside them. And now He says to us—*love each other the way I loved you.* That means more than a polite message or a Sunday greeting. It means deep, sacrificial, joyful relationship.

We We're Made For This

We were *never* meant to walk through this life timid and unsure, constantly second-guessing the Spirit of God within us. 
 
“I don’t know if I can disciple someone…” 
 
“I don’t know if I could really love like that…” 
 
“I’m not sure I could lead someone to Christ…” 
 
Those aren’t just thoughts. That’s warfare. That’s exactly what the enemy wants: a church full of believers who are paralyzed by doubt and fear—forgetting who they are and *who lives in them*. 
 
But we’re not giving in to that. 
 
Let’s stop letting fear lead the conversation. 
 
Let’s walk like we actually believe we’ve been filled with the power that raised Christ from the dead.

Walk Like You Carry Power

Some of us walk into church or a gathering of believers hoping—*believing*—that God wants to do something powerful. Something eternal. And too often, that hope gets crushed. Instead of stirring each other to love and good deeds, we hesitate. We downplay. We say things like, “Well, I’m not sure God moves like that anymore…” But Scripture says the opposite. It says to *encourage* one another. To remind each other of what He’s done—and that He can do it again.

God Is Still Able

What if we’ve been playing it safe for so long, we’ve forgotten what it means to really trust God? 
 
Today, Francis Chan brings us back to the raw, unshakable trust of childlike faith. Drawing from Psalm 23 and the boldness of the early church, he confronts the quiet fear that too often paralyzes believers today. Francis challenges us to start living like our Shepherd is truly with us—even in the valley of the shadow of death. This isn’t just a call to be brave; it’s a call to believe again.

I Will Fear No Evil | Francis Chan

Too often, the word “God” gets thrown around so casually that it loses weight. But remember who He is. The God spoken of in Scripture is not like anyone else. He dwells in unapproachable light. His presence is so holy, so overwhelming, that no human being could survive seeing Him face to face. That is the God every soul will one day stand before. That’s not poetry—it’s reality. 
 
And this God—this holy, all-seeing, all-knowing Judge—is not mocked. He cannot be deceived or manipulated. No one fools Him. People might hide things from their families, their friends, their churches—but nothing is hidden from Him. Every thought, every motive, every action—He sees it all. And while others may laugh at sin or dismiss it as no big deal, He does not. 
 
Let’s remember who He is in our lives!

God Is Not Mocked

You ever feel like you’re doing all the right things… but nothing seems to change? Like following Jesus is just *harder* than you thought it’d be? In today’s episode of the Crazy Love Podcast, Francis takes us deep into the fight we all face—the struggle to stay faithful when no one’s watching. He takes us into Galatians 6, where we’re reminded: Don’t give up. Because God sees it all… and the harvest *is* coming.

Don't Give Up! | Francis Chan

So many have walked away, changed their theology, softened their convictions, fallen into compromise. And yet… somehow you're still standing. Francis Chan shares the powerful realization that it wasn’t strength or discipline that kept him — it was the fear of God, planted deep by God Himself. This is the kind of fear that keeps you faithful when everything around you fades.

An Amazing Promise

When the Holy Spirit enters your life, He doesn’t just inspire you — He transforms you. He puts a desire in your heart to obey, not out of duty, but out of deep reverence. It’s not about effort or image. When the fear of God is rooted in you, everything else begins to align — your prayers, your relationships, your choices. That kind of fear is a gift.

Fear of God Changes More Than You Think

What if your time with God was so real, so rich, that you didn’t want it to end—even when life called you back? Francis reminds us that true intimacy with the Father isn’t confined to church services or events. It’s those quiet moments alone, where you linger in His presence, that reveal the depth of your relationship. That longing to stay—even when you have to go—that’s the heartbeat of revival.

Longing for His Presence

Most people assume God hears every prayer. But according to Scripture, that’s just not true. Today, Francis Chan challenges the way we approach God — reminding us that faithless, casual prayer isn’t just ineffective… it’s ignored. If we truly believe we're standing before the throne of God, our prayers should reflect it.

Prayer That God Hears

In this message, Francis Chan unpacks Hebrews 5:7 and challenges the way we approach prayer. Drawing from the example of Jesus, who was heard "because of His reverence," Francis calls us back to a holy fear of God — the kind that shapes every breath, every word, and every motive.
