Crazy Love Podcast

Many of us spend our lives asking God to bless what we're doing, when the greater invitation is to discover what He's already doing and join Him there.

In this Staff Talk, Francis shares why following Jesus is about more than serving faithfully. It's about learning to recognize when His Spirit is leading the way. As he reflects on recent ministry experiences, we're reminded that God is still at work in powerful ways, inviting His people to walk by faith rather than relying on their own strength.

If you've ever wrestled with discerning God's direction, this conversation is a reminder to remain humble, stay submitted, and keep your heart ready to follow wherever the Lord is moving.

In a culture that constantly demands something bigger, louder, and more entertaining, it's easy to lose sight of what truly transforms us.

In this message, Francis Chan challenges the modern Church to examine what has captured our attention and affection. He reminds us that God's Word was never meant to compete with personalities, production, or emotion. The deeper issue isn't that Scripture has become less powerful - it's that our hearts have become less captivated by the God who speaks.

When we recover a higher view of God's holiness, His presence becomes enough, His Word becomes alive again, and worship is no longer something we manufacture but something that naturally overflows from awe.

Many of us know what it's like to feel deeply convicted by God's Word, only to find that conviction fading as life moves on. Instead of responding with obedience, we can become stuck in a cycle of overthinking, waiting for perfect clarity, or convincing ourselves that another day will be a better time to act.

In this message, Francis Chan challenges us to rediscover the kind of faith that marked the early believers. As he walks through Hebrews 10 and 11, we're reminded that God delights in people who trust Him enough to take the next step, even when they don't have every answer. Faith grows as we respond to God's leading, and a life of obedience begins with the courage to simply say yes.

God desires to hear our prayers, but Scripture also warns that there are things that can stand in the way.

In this message, Francis challenges us to examine our view of God's holiness and the condition of our own hearts. As he walks through Scripture, we're reminded that prayer isn't just about asking God for what we need or want. It's about coming before Him with repentance, humility, and wholehearted devotion.

God's invitation has always been the same: turn back to Him. When we respond to His conviction with repentance, we're restored to the joy of walking closely with Him and the confidence that He hears our prayers.

Do you truly believe that Jesus is with you?

In this message, Francis Chan challenges us to examine whether we're living from the reality of Christ's presence or relying on our own strength. As he reflects on Jesus' promise to always be with us, Francis reminds us that our ministry to others was never meant to be fueled by eloquence, talent, or self-confidence, but by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Join us as Francis explores what it means to truly know the power of Christ's resurrection, walk in freedom from fear, and live with the God-centered confidence that the same one who raised Christ from the dead lives in you and will be with you, no matter what.

Life has a way of pulling our attention in a thousand different directions. Personal struggles, cultural tensions, financial pressures, and uncertainty about the future can leave us feeling anxious and overwhelmed.

In this message, Francis Chan encourages us to step back and remember the bigger story. Walking through Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, he highlights God's faithfulness, His patience toward humanity, and His promise to make all things new.

As we see our lives in light of eternity and God's unchanging character, fear begins to lose its grip, and we find rest in the One who holds all things together.

Have you ever been so satisfied in God's presence that everything else - every worry, distraction, and challenge - begins to lose its grip?

Whatever is weighing on you today, there is an invitation to come and be with Him. In His presence, we find the peace, joy, and strength we've been searching for all along.

In this episode, Francis explores the invitation to find our deepest satisfaction in God alone. When we learn to enjoy His presence and trust His love, we're freed from constantly searching for something more. Instead, we can live the life He designed for us - rooted in Him, united with His people, and joining Him in His mission to the world.

It's easy to believe that peace is waiting on the other side of better circumstances.

A breakthrough. A solution. A different season.

But the deepest peace comes from something else entirely. In this Staff Talk, Francis shares what God has been reminding him about contentment, suffering, mission, and the presence of God. He explores what it looks like to be so anchored in God that circumstances no longer have the final say.

The result isn't a trouble-free life. It's something better - a peace that holds steady and the confidence to follow Jesus wherever He leads.

As information becomes more accessible than ever, many of us feel the pressure to have answers for everything. But what happens when the constant stream of opinions, arguments, and competing voices leaves us feeling more overwhelmed than confident?

In this Staff Talk, Francis reflects on the challenge of pursuing truth in a noisy world and the peace that comes from returning to what matters most. As he shares honestly about his own struggles with information overload, he offers a reminder that our greatest need isn't to know everything; it's to walk closely with God.

Francis explores the role of AI, humility, spiritual discernment, and why the people who may have the most to offer the Church today are those whose lives reveal a deep and genuine relationship with Christ.

When the noise is overwhelming, the answer may not be more information, but greater intimacy with God.

Where do you find the right people to walk with through different seasons of life and ministry? How do you stay grounded in what matters when technology keeps changing the way we relate to each other? And what does faithfulness actually look like over the long haul?

In this Staff Talk, Francis reflects on the kind of life that lasts - one marked by love, humility, and a steady dependence on God. Drawing from John 13 and 15, he shares why the people God places around us matter more than we realize, and how an eternal perspective changes the way we lead, serve, and care for others.

This conversation is about slowing down enough to love people well, staying rooted in Jesus in a distracted world, and becoming the kind of person others can grow alongside for years to come.
