Podcast appearances and mentions of Francis Chan

What if we've been playing it safe for so long, we've forgotten what it means to really trust God? In this classic teaching, Francis Chan opens up about fear, faith, and the kind of boldness that defined the early church. From the valley of the shadow of death to the comfort of our Shepherd's rod and staff, this isn't a call to recklessness—it's a return to childlike faith.

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 this classic teaching, 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.

Family Fruit Ps 1:1-3 Jer: 17:7-8 Eph 2:19 Gal 4:4-7 1) Embrace the process 2 Cor 3:18 2) Choose you conditions Jn 15:5 “ There are periods we forget that in the the pursuit of fruit, that if we just abide in Him, then fruitfulness is a guarantee” Francis Chan   3) Live by the Spirit Mt 7:20 Gal 5:22-25 “All fruitfulness flows from intimacy” Heidi Baker

What if I told you… God doesn't hear all prayers? You've probably been told your whole life that He does — no matter what, no matter how. But Scripture says otherwise. Today, Francis Chan flips the script on casual prayer and exposes the one thing that made even Jesus' prayers powerful: the fear and reverence of God.

It's human nature to get drawn into the excitement of large church gatherings with lots of people and energy. But what happens when the music stops and the room is silent? Today, we're excited to share a recent conversation between Francis Chan and Dunamis Hangout in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This is a message that goes beyond what God is doing in South America. It's a call to break free from the distraction of this modern age and to live a life where every decision is guided by a reverent fear of the Lord.

What if the greatest reason you're stuck in fear, sin, or apathy is simply because you've forgotten who God truly is? In this powerful teaching, Francis Chan dives into one of the most ancient declarations of the Christian faith: “I believe in one God, the Father Almighty.” He unpacks what it truly means to believe that God is not just loving—but all-powerful, sovereign, and unstoppable. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, defeated, or questioned God's ability to work in your life, this message is for you. Learn to rest in the shadow of the Almighty and walk in the strength that He provides.

We spend so much of our lives chasing identity, trying to prove we belong, trying to be seen, trying to matter. But the answer to who we are isn't something we earn. It's someone we belong to. Today, Francis Chan shows us that our truest identity is found in being children of God: created, chosen, adopted, and loved by the Father. And this identity redefines how we pray, how we worship, and how we live.

In this message, Francis Chan dives deeply into 1 John 4, unpacking powerful truths about God's love, wrath, and our true identity as believers. Have we missed the most important commandment Jesus gave us? Why don't churches prioritize love the way the Bible commands? Discover the transformative revelation about what it means to truly live as "beloved.”

When you gather on Sunday, do you go in thinking about someone else, ready to love, serve, and care? Or was your mind still on yourself? This week, Francis Chan pushes us to rethink love—not as a feeling, but as action. Real love is messy. It's sacrificial. It's the kind that makes you weep for the broken and move toward those in need. Because love isn't just something we receive—it's something we live.

When you go to church, are you simply attending, or are you seeking to encounter the living God? To experience the Creator of the universe in a way that transforms your life? In this message, Francis Chan challenges the way we approach worship, truth, and the Holy Spirit. Are we just hearing the Word, or are we responding to it? Are we pursuing knowledge, or a deeper intimacy with God? True worship goes beyond singing and learning—it's a life-changing response to God's presence.

Have we made God too small in our minds? Have we tried so hard to explain Him that we've forgotten the mystery and the weight of who He really is? This week, Francis Chan confronts the temptation to fit God into our human understanding. There are things about Him we simply cannot grasp. And yet, what He has revealed should move us—not just to knowledge, but to reverence, worship, and obedience. Because knowing God isn't about figuring Him out—it's about surrendering to the One who was, who is, and who always will be.

When was the last time you were in awe of God? Like, truly stopped and realize that we are talking about the Creator of the universe? The One who spoke the stars into existence and holds all things together. And yet, how often do we reduce Him to something we can explain or control? In this week's episode, Francis Chan challenges the way we think about the Holy Spirit—not as a force to be harnessed, because understanding God isn't about control—it's about surrender.

What if modern Christianity has complicated what was meant to be simple—so much so that we spend more time debating salvation than actually obeying God? In today's message, Francis Chan cuts through the noise to get back to the raw, biblical truth. He challenges us to stop overanalyzing and start obeying—to truly repent, be baptized, and receive the Holy Spirit as the early believers did. Because at the end of the day, faith isn't about endless discussion—it's about surrender, action, and a life wholly devoted to God.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter. ~Francis Chan Check out John Lee Dumas' award winning Podcast Entrepreneurs on Fire on your favorite podcast directory.

What if the modern church is missing something so essential that without it, our faith becomes just another human effort? What if the power we read about in Scripture—the kind that heals, transforms, and emboldens—was meant to be normal for every believer? In this sermon, Francis Chan confronts a pressing and uncomfortable question: If the Holy Spirit truly lives inside of us, why do so many Christians look no different from the world?

What if Jesus leaving this earth wasn't a loss… but the greatest gift He could give us? That having the Holy Spirit inside you is better than having Jesus physically standing next to you? Do we actually believe that? Do we live like that's true? In this teaching, Francis Chan challenges us to examine what we believe about prayer, longing for heaven, and the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever wrestled with fear—fear of judgment, fear of not being enough, or fear of where you stand with God? In this powerful message, Francis Chan confronts one of the greatest struggles in the church today—the insecurity that keeps us from fully embracing God's love. Why do so many believers live in doubt, questioning their salvation? And how can we break free from the lies that hold us captive? Francis unpacks these questions and reveals how God's perfect love casts out fear and how we can find true confidence in Him.

Their conversation is energetic, deeply rooted in scripture, and sprinkled with personal stories to bring their points to life. They kick things off with some lighthearted banter before diving into a deeper discussion about Jesus' pattern for disciple-making. Reflecting on a previous episode, Josh and Jason talk about how Jesus balanced solitude with the Father, reached out to the lost, and deeply invested in a few key followers. Josh emphasizes how Jesus often stepped away from the crowds to focus on His disciples, illustrating the power of investing deeply in a few rather than spreading oneself too thin. Jason highlights how meaningful impact comes from this relational approach to disciple-making, which Jesus demonstrated by pouring into a select few instead of trying to reach everyone. The conversation then turns to the practical side of disciple-making. Josh shares how everyday activities, like driving alone, could be opportunities to invest in others. He challenges listeners to live a lifestyle where discipleship happens naturally, just as Jesus made time for His disciples wherever He went. Next, they discuss the cross—where Jesus' footsteps ultimately lead. Josh talks about the deep sacrifice and surrender discipleship requires, including being willing to give everything, even one's life, for the mission. Jason brings in Dietrich Bonhoeffer's concept of "costly grace," critiquing the watered-down gospel often preached today that skips over the true cost of following Jesus. Josh and Jason stress that real discipleship involves surrendering to Jesus as Lord and not just seeking forgiveness. Josh shares a powerful illustration from Francis Chan, explaining that true discipleship means giving Jesus full control of your life, not just being along for the ride. They wrap up by encouraging listeners to reflect on their own lives and whether their actions align with Jesus' example. They challenge their audience to make intentional, meaningful discipleship a priority and to be ready for the sacrifices it requires. This episode is a powerful reminder that true discipleship means solitude with God, reaching out to the broken, investing in a few key relationships, and being willing to make big sacrifices. Josh and Jason urge listeners to commit to authentic discipleship, following Jesus' footsteps and reaching out to Discipleship.org for support and resources along the way.

As believers, we often find ourselves in a delicate balance between two perspectives. On one hand, we're called to love the lost without compromising the truth. On the other, we must stand firm in the truth while avoiding self-righteousness. So, how do we navigate this tension? In this week's teaching, Francis Chan dives into Paul's message in 2 Timothy 4, painting a picture of a church where truth is never watered down, love and boldness go hand in hand, and the mission is clear: preach the Word, no matter the cost.

In this episode, Francis Chan challenges common ideas about the end times, shifting the focus from speculation about prophecies and world events to personal readiness for Christ's return. He unpacks the reality of persecution for those living a godly life, the transformative power of Scripture, and how to stay faithful in a world that's increasingly hostile to faith.

It's hard to fathom, but in the United States Reformed Christians make up a very small percentage of protestant congregations and congregants. That means that publishing houses that are much bigger than Reformation Heritage books and personalities with a bigger reach than R.C. Sproul exert significant influence over a much broader swath of American evangelicals than small, reformed outfits. One such influential publisher is Zondervan publishers, a media company and printer founded almost a hundred years ago that is the publisher of the popular NIV Bible translation, which has sold over 450 million copies. Zondervan brings in over $100 million annually.  Today, Zondervan is publishing their new “Upside-Down Kingdom Bible”. It is edited by none other than Preston Sprinkle, who is an author and speaker that has said in the past that “The church will look more like Jesus if it has more trans people in it, not fewer.” Packed full on contributions from Michael Bird, Jamar Tisby, Francis Chan, and others, this one is sure to leave off your wish list.

Are you living in fear of a world spiraling out of control, or are you standing in the peace and power God promises? In this sermon, Francis Chan challenges believers to move beyond fear, superficial godliness, and self-centeredness by embracing the transformative power of the Holy Spirit, living with bold faith, and trusting God's sovereignty and the hope of redemption.

In this message, Francis Chan examines the signs of the "last days" as outlined in 2 Timothy, shedding light on the dangers of self-love, materialism, and a superficial approach to faith. Francis challenges us to reconsider our priorities and live with a love that reflects Christ's sacrificial example.

Have you ever stopped to think about what it means that God wants to be with us? In the busyness of life, especially at Christmas, we can easily forget the simple, powerful truth that God is rich in mercy and desires to dwell with us. Francis Chan shares the incredible reality that the Creator of the universe isn't just mighty and holy—He is merciful and wants to forgive us, empower us, and walk with us each and every day.

In this message, Francis Chan unpacks how true generosity is not a forced act but a natural byproduct of a life transformed by Christ. Drawing from Revelation and 2 Corinthians 8, he highlights the eternal promises of God that shift our focus from self-centeredness to God-centeredness, producing joy and selfless love. This message was originally shared on December 9, 2018 at Garden Church.

Francis Chan delivers a profound and challenging sermon, addressing the cultural shift in the church toward self-promotion and performance. Using Scripture and personal testimony, he calls believers to restore sacred practices like communion and public Scripture reading while embracing the mystery of God's love. This message was originally shared at the Fire in Our Bones Pastors Conference on March 1, 2024.

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have. The Rosary is foremost among them.Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign we are praying for the former "mega-church" pastor Francis Chan, a well-known protestant leader who, the last several years, seems to be getting much closer to the Catholic Church thanks to the Eucharist.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is attending a Holy Hour (Adoration) before the Blessed Sacrament, and requesting the intercession of St. Francis de Sales, who was a great 16th century Saint who helped many protestants come back to the Church. May his intercession help Francis Chan do the same! Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular: 1. Keeping the Faith 2. Moral renovation 3. Conversions of non-Catholics The Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

In the final message of his Ephesians series, Francis Chan delves into Ephesians 6 to reveal the significance of the full armor of God. He explains how each piece—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—empowers believers to stand firm against spiritual forces and persevere in faith amidst the challenges of life.

Do you get it? Do you truly understand what it means to know God, to experience His love so profoundly that it transforms your entire life? In this message, Francis Chan asks us to reflect on whether we really grasp the depth of God's love for us and how it should change us. When we understand this love, we will live with awe, humility, and radical love for others—just like the early church. This message was originally taught in February of 2017 to We Are Church.

How can embracing servanthood transform your life? In this teaching on Ephesians 6:5-9, Francis Chan reveals how choosing humility and following Christ's example of service can bring freedom, purpose, and deeper relationships.

Have you ever considered that your family relationships might be part of God's plan to reveal His character? In this message, Francis Chan explores how honoring and guiding one another in the family goes far beyond duty—it's a way to mirror God's nurturing love and authority.

What does it mean to truly live as God's temple? Not just in theory, but in every conversation, every relationship, every moment? In today's message, Francis Chan will explore the deep, yet practical reality of being filled with the Holy Spirit. Drawing from the book of Ephesians, Francis shows us how our lives can be radically transformed by the Spirit—shaping how we connect with God and love others.

Francis Chan delves into the profound truth that God dwells among His people, transforming us from the inside out. Ephesians calls us to live as imitators of God, walking in love, and to reflect His presence in our daily lives. We are reminded that, through Christ, we have been made new and are called to be light in a dark world, rejecting the old ways of sin. As God dwells with us, He calls us into deeper unity, purity, and love, empowering us to live out His truth.

In the book of Ephesians, Paul instructs believers to put off the old self and to put on the new. But practically speaking, what does that mean? In this teaching, Francis Chan helps us see that our calling as the Body of Christ isn't just behavior modification. It's about becoming the kind of church that reflects the heart of God in every interaction.

If you look at the current state of the church in America, on a scale of one to ten, how would you rate our witness to the rest of the world? Francis Chan confronts the very things that do damage to the church and reminds us that we can embody the purity and love that God desires, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

We all know we're supposed to grow in our faith—but how do we actually become mature in Christ? Francis Chan continues in Ephesians chapter 4, where Paul gives us the blueprint for spiritual maturity. Francis explores how Christ shapes us through the gifts He's given, the role of the church in building us up, and what it means to truly grow into the fullness of Christ.

In a world where we constantly see the same patterns—division, selfishness, and striving for personal gain—it's easy to fall into these habits without realizing it. In this teaching, Francis Chan explores the idea that, if we belong to Christ, we're not just human beings. We are temples of the Holy Spirit, called to live selflessly and pursue unity as God's people. This message was originally taught on October 29, 2017 for We Are Church.

We live in a culture that gives value to those who are rich, famous, or powerful. But as believers, we need to see ourselves differently. Francis Chan helps us understand how each of us has been uniquely gifted by the Holy Spirit, not for our own personal recognition, but to build up the Body of Christ in unity and love.

As Americans, we're used to having choices in every aspect of our lives – whether its our jobs, relationships, or even our leaders. But what happens when we come across the commands of God? Are we willing to embrace the idea that His words are more than just suggestions? In this teaching, Francis Chan challenges us to break away from this cultural mindset and seek to be a church that Jesus desires.
