Crazy Love Podcast

Obsessed with Christ | Francis Chan

There are so many things in our modern world that pull for our attention – entertainment, media, our jobs. Even as Christians we can be so focused on doing good works that we miss the most important thing – falling in love with the person of Jesus and being known by Him. This week, Francis Chan challenges us to evaluate our hearts and truly make Jesus the central focus of our lives.

A Conversation with Vince and Jo Vitale | Francis Chan

The Apostle Peter tells us in 1 Peter to “sanctify Christ as Lord in our hearts, and to always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in us.” In this week’s episode, Francis Chan sits down with Apologists, Vince and Jo Vitale. Together, they speak on what it means to not only love Jesus with our heart and soul and strength, but to love Him with our minds as well. We pray this episode stirs a passion for Jesus and aligns your heart to love others like He does.

The Millennial Generation and the Future of the Church | Francis Chan

In a world saturated with false teachings and a desperate craving for popularity and fame, it can be difficult to keep truth at the center of our lives. In this weeks episode, Francis Chan takes us through Second Corinthians 4 and reminds us not to rely on our own wisdom or strategies to draw people to God; but that the gospel of Jesus Christ is powerful in itself.

A Life Fully Surrendered | Francis Chan

If you were to assess your life right now, what would you say is the primary focus? Is it success or achieving the "American Dream?" Or perhaps  it’s something smaller like social media or tv? In this week’s episode Francis Chan reminds us that the best time to be fully committed to the mission of Christ is right now. We have no time to waste.

Dying to Self | Francis Chan

It can be argued that one of the greatest problems plaguing our churches today is pride and narccissm. 2 Timothy tells us that in the last days people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant and abusive which would take away from the command to love and serve others. In this week’s episode Francis Chan encourages us through Philippians 2 and reminds us how all-satisfying it is to gaze at the beauty of God instead of staring at ourselves.

Not In Eloquence, But In The Spirit | Francis Chan

For some people, the Great Commission can seem like a daunting task. Oftentimes, it turns into strategies that are more dependent on the flesh than the Spirit. But Jesus promised to always be with us. In this week’s episode, Francis Chan reminds us of this truth as he discusses 1 Corinthians 2.

The Wrath of God | Francis Chan

When we think of God, it’s quite easy for us to worship Him for His faithfulness, goodness, and love. These are true of God and reason to worship Him. But how often do we consider worshipping Him as being a God of Wrath?  In today’s episode, Francis Chan takes us through Deuteronomy 31 and 32 and reminds us of how worthy God is of praise and worship…even in His wrath. 

The Church Intensive | Sean Brakey, Rob Zabala, Francis Chan

In today’s episode Francis is joined by the Directors of the Church Intensive, Sean Brakey and Rob Zabala. The Church Intensive is a ministry of Crazy Love called to serve the global church and help train and encourage pastors, church planters, and leaders. Francis shares how the Church Intensive began and what the Lord is speaking to him regarding some of the current challenges facing the church. We pray that this discussion encourages you and helps ignite a passion to see the church be faithful to its Biblical calling.

The Cross (Pt. 4) | Francis Chan

In 1873 there was a man named Horatio Spafford and after the tragic death of his four children and two years after his four year old son’s death, he took pen to paper and wrote the words, “When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll, whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, it is well, it is well, with my soul. Horatio Spafford deeply understood that no matter his lot in life, the greatest dilemma with his soul was solved by the shedding of Jesus’ blood on the cross. In this week’s episode, Francis Chan takes us to Luke 23 and reminds us of this unspeakable joy that comes from Jesus’ death.

The Cross (Pt. 3) | Francis Chan

When you wake up in the morning, do you ever consider the most important thing you have to do that day? For most of us, our first thoughts focus on ourselves or crossing out items on our To Do list. In this weeks episode, Francis Chan helps us understand that the most important thing we can do in a day is make time to tell Jesus how grateful we are for the cross. He brings us through the scene leading up to the cross in Luke 23 and reminds us what Jesus really came to save us from.
