Crazy Love Podcast

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.

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.
