Crazy Love

What if God loves you more than anyone you’ve ever loved? 
 
Think about someone you deeply care about, someone you would do anything for. Now imagine this: God loves you even more than that. He knows everything about you and still chose to give His Son for you. 
 
But if that’s true... why do so many of us still feel powerless? 
 
In Ephesians 1, Scripture says there is an immeasurable greatness of power at work in those who believe - the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. And yet, many of us don’t live like that power is real. 
 
In this teaching, Francis unpacks what it means to truly believe what God says about us. Not only our identity, but the way we live, fight sin, and love one another. 
 
Because this power was never meant to be lived out alone. 
 
We were designed to be one body with many parts, each of us uniquely gifted, deeply needed, and called to build each other up in love. When we step into that reality together, we begin to experience the kind of life and community Jesus prayed for.

The Power You’ve Been Ignoring | Francis Chan

Do you really know how near Jesus is? 
 
Have you felt His arms around you when you take time to be with Him? 
 
Because the truth is, you were the joy set before Him as He endured the cross. Because He wanted to be with you, He was willing to give up everything else. 
 
The next time you pray, remember this. Invite Him with expectation, and He will meet you where you are.

Does God Really Love Me?

Becoming unified with each other as believers will not happen through a perfect sermon, worship set or doctrinal shift. 
 
So, how can it happen? 
 
By gathering around the Word that is truth, making it our focus above the commentary, and discovering the presence of Jesus in every page.

How do you respond when someone expresses hatred toward Jesus? 
 
Is your first thought, “How dare they?” 
 
Or do you wonder, “What kind of pain could have brought them to this place?”

A Different Kind of Church

Have you ever wondered if watching a service’s livestream was the same as being there? 
 
What if there was more to church than just a message and some songs? What if something mysterious happens when we gather together in a way that we miss through a screen? 
 
Whether we realize it or not, no matter how hard we try, some moments with God can’t be recreated online. They have to be experienced in person.

God Is Waiting For You

Do you truly know God as a loving Father? 
 
Not distant. Not disappointed. But a Father who wants to be with you, hear from you, and walk with you every day. 
 
For many of us, relating to God this way doesn’t come naturally. Our experiences, wounds, or misunderstandings can make it difficult to see Him as a good Father. But the truth is, His love for you is secure, unchanging, and far greater than anything we could imagine. 
 
In this powerful message from IF:One Night, Francis Chan unpacks what it means to approach God as His sons and daughters, the joy and delight He has in each of us, and the peace and security we find in Him alone. He reveals the invitation we’ve been given to come boldly before Him for grace and experience His presence. 
 
When we come to God with expectation, we don’t just receive information, we receive Him. We find mercy, experience His nearness, and rest in a love that never changes.

Does God Really Love Me? | Francis Chan

There’s a day coming when we will stand before Him - a throne of lightning, thunder, and fire. That reality should shake us. 
 
But don’t miss this... 
 
That same throne is also called a throne of grace. 
 
Not a place where God is reluctant, but where He welcomes you. Where He wants to give. Where He desires to bless. 
 
So many of us live either in fear... or distance... when we’ve actually been invited to draw near with confidence. 
 
???? In “Beloved,” Francis Chan helps us see that the God whom we rightfully fear is also the God who wants to surround us with His love.

From Fear To Confidence

If we’re honest… a lot of us don’t fully believe God loves us. Not completely. Not without hesitation. 
 
The enemy whispers: 
 
“You blew it.” 
“You’re not enough.” 
“You’ve gone too far.” 
 
But God’s Word says something entirely different: 
 
“I am rich in mercy.” 
 
The question is… whose voice will you trust?

Do You Truly Believe God Loves You?

Jesus didn’t just promise to return. 
 
He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell within us, while He intercedes with the Father. 
 
Not walking beside us, but living inside us. 
 
What an amazing gift as we go about life, that we are never alone.

God With Us

We’ve been discipled by a culture that hates waiting. Instant replies. Instant results. Instant everything. 
 
But the Kingdom doesn’t work that way. 
 
So much of what God does in us happens slowly… in the quiet, in the unseen, in the waiting. If we rush past it, we don’t just lose time. We miss Him. 
 
Don’t let impatience rob you of intimacy.

The Strength in Waiting

For some of us, the word “father” brings up memories we’d rather forget. So, when we hear “God is a Father,” it doesn’t feel comforting. It feels distant. 
 
But God’s love defies logic and can heal every wound in your heart. You are not alone, you are no accident, and you are adopted as His own.

Adopted As His Own

Can we manufacture God’s presence… or are we missing the point? 
 
Do you ever feel like it’s our responsibility to study harder, worship better, or serve more - just to make God “show up”? As if the right songs, message, or atmosphere could somehow produce revival? 
 
Many of us think this way, or at least we’ve grown comfortable with church being safe… predictably good. 
 
But what if the most powerful part of gathering isn’t something we can create at all? 
 
In this episode of “Staff Talks,” Francis calls us back to the mystery and power of God’s presence, something that cannot be manufactured through human effort. He explores what it means to be stewards of the mysteries of God, fully dependent on His Spirit and open to His work through us. 
 
When we release the need to control the outcome, we begin to experience something deeper, something eternal. His presence becomes real, near, and more powerful than anything we could create.

So often we ask God to remove a temptation or trial from our lives. 
 
When we’re overwhelmed by a problem, we think that the answer is to remove it altogether… 
 
but He has better plans. 
 
Instead of letting us stay overwhelmed, He gives us grace to overcome.

Grace to Overcome

Did you know that God’s purpose for you didn’t start when you were saved? 
 
Or when you had your first conscious thought? 
 
It was before you were even born. 
 
From your mother’s womb, He knew who you were and designed you on purpose, for a purpose that’s utterly unique to you. 
 
And every day He delights in seeing you discover and live it out.

Before You Were Born

It’s easy to get caught in the cycle of keeping up with everyone else’s updates - vacations, projects, milestones - until it starts to consume us. 
 
The fear of missing out can quietly drive us into comparison, debt, and a constant striving for moments we think will satisfy. 
 
But what if the greater risk isn’t missing out on what others are doing… but missing what God is offering? 
 
He has something better for us than anything we’ve seen or imagined. 
 
Let’s not miss that.

A God-Given FOMO

Why are so many of us spiritually and emotionally burned out? 
 
What if the answer isn’t more energy, more noise, or more activity - but learning to slow down and wait on God? 
 
In this powerful message, Francis Chan explores the beauty of stillness and the renewing power of the Holy Spirit. He shares how time alone with God brings true rest, clarity, and strength in a way nothing else can. 
 
Through personal stories and biblical insight, this teaching invites us to step away from constant striving and rediscover the peace found in simply being with God. 
 
When we learn to be still in His presence, everything changes. Our strength is renewed. Our vision becomes clear. And our hearts are anchored in His love.

Staff Talks with Francis: The Strength in Waiting

“Staff Talks with Francis” is a series where we share moments from our Crazy Love staff meetings. These are real conversations about following Jesus, caring for the church, and discerning God’s voice in the middle of everyday ministry. 
 
In this episode, Francis Chan reflects on something the Lord impressed on him during a long trip home from Brazil: the pressure we feel to keep up with everything happening in the world. News, controversies, theological debates, messages, texts, and constant streams of information can create a subtle fear of missing out - the sense that we need to know and stay updated on everything. 
 
But Francis began to wrestle with a deeper question: 
 
What if the real danger isn’t missing what’s happening in the world… but missing what God wants to say to us? 
 
This conversation explores the discipline of silence, the importance of being present with God and the people around us, and the risk of filling our lives with so much information that we miss the very things that matter most.

Staff Talks with Francis: The Real Fear of Missing Out

What do we really expect when we gather as the church? 
 
Too often, we show up expecting little more than a motivational message, a new insight from Scripture, and a powerful worship set. But what if God intended something far deeper? 
 
In this powerful teaching, Francis Chan challenges us to rediscover the awe and mystery that should mark every gathering of believers. Instead of approaching church as a routine, what if we came expecting the living God to move among us? 
 
Francis explores what it means to gather as the true body of Christ - coming ready to minister to one another, tremble at God's Word, and experience His presence together.
