Crazy Love Podcast

Does it ever seem like the older you get, the less faith you have? We start our walk with the Lord with such a childlike excitement, but it sadly can change over time. In this week’s message, Francis challenges us to believe in a God that – even today – reveals Himself to His creation. We pray that this message stirs your faith and builds an expectation of the supernatural.

Welcome to the Crazy Love Podcast. As each day passes, it can feel like time is slipping away faster than ever before. It's easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and lose sight of what’s most important. None of us know how much time we have left. In this week's episode, Francis brings us through several parables and reminds us that there is no better time than now to start walking with Jesus. We hope this episode will inspire and encourage you, giving you a renewed understanding of the incredible worth of Jesus.

You probably know that God loves you – but do you really, deeply believe that He loves you? In this teaching, Francis opens up about a way that his perspective on God’s love often gets twisted, and invites us to trust in the Love that is so infinitely beyond our own.

In all of human relationships, marriage is the one expression that God wants to be a picture of Christ and the Church. That’s a high calling! In today’s episode, Francis and Lisa Chan share some of the lessons that they've learned about their marriage at the Antioch Marriage Conference. We pray that this message encourages you and helps you to see your marriage through the lens of the mission and Kingdom of God.

When we focus on only one aspect of who God is, we get dangerously close to heresy by having a lopsided view of Him. In today’s episode, Francis highlights an attribute of God he feels he’s neglected his whole life, and invites us to join him in drawing near to an incredible reality: God’s throne of grace.

What’s the treasure in your life that you can’t stop talking about? In today’s episode, Francis shares about one of his greatest treasures – the fear of the Lord – and walks us slowly, meditatively through Hebrews 12 towards a greater reverence and awe of the God we worship.

When you read scripture, it doesn’t take long to come across ideas that seem to contradict our natural logic - - things like God’s power being perfected in our weakness or the least will be the greatest in the kingdom of God. In today’s teaching, Francis unpacks Scripture’s counter-cultural wisdom and why it’s better to be at the house of mourning than at the best party.

If I asked you to name a miracle that’s recorded in Scripture, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? The blind receiving sight, or the dead to life?

In today's episode, Francis calls the church to seek God for a miracle only He can give: godly sorrow. We encourage you to listen in as Francis directs our hearts towards repentance, weeping over what grieves the Lord, and being the kind of "progressive" church that He desires.

When gathering together for worship, it’s good to minister to other people. Scripture commands us to look after the needs of those in the Body, but how often do we focus on ministering to the Lord? In today’s episode, Francis points us back to making what the Lord desires our highest priority: preparing ourselves for the moment we see His face, unashamedly declaring his truth, and ministering to Him with true worship.

The New Year is well underway, and many of us have set goals or made resolutions for things that we want to see happen in 2023. But, as Francis teaches in today’s episode, the New Year is a wonderful time to take a step back from your life and ask yourself: “Am I living with a reverence for God?” “Am I willing to obey whatever He’s speaking to me this year through His Word?” Like Paul instructed in the book of Philippians, we pray that this teaching encourages you to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
