Break My Heart for What Breaks Yours | Francis Chan
Do you care too much about your career, your house, or even your favorite sports team, and too little about what God cares about?
In this challenging message, Francis admits his own struggle with this question. He explains that we often fail to weep over sin because we love to talk about God’s blessings and promises but shy away from His warnings of judgment. This message will force you to look at your own life and ask if your heart is truly aligned with God's. What breaks your heart? And is it what breaks God’s?

Jumping in the Deep End | Francis Chan
What would it look like if the Church truly lived out the radical faith found in the Book of Acts? In this compelling message, Francis Chan urges believers to go beyond passively hearing God’s word and begin living lives marked by deep repentance, bold obedience, and authentic transformation. He challenges the Church to break free from spiritual complacency and embrace a lifestyle that reflects the sacrificial, Spirit-empowered way of the early Christians.
Chan paints a vision of a community where older generations uplift the young, resources are freely surrendered for Kingdom work, and God’s supernatural provision follows fearless steps of faith. This is a passionate plea for revival rooted in humility, surrender, and a willingness to give up comfort and control. The result? A Church that is fully alive, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and unafraid to dive headfirst into the unknown for the sake of the Gospel.

Returning to Reverence | Francis Chan
In today’s message, Francis Chan challenges our modern assumptions about worship, prayer, and the presence of God. Drawing from Hebrews 12, he paints a vivid picture of the God we’ve forgotten—blazing fire, darkness, tempest, unapproachable light—and reminds us that worship isn’t about our preferences or opinions, but about coming before the Almighty with reverence and awe.
Wherever you’re listening today, this is a word to sit with, to wrestle with, and to let reshape how you approach the living God.

Don’t Settle for the Status Quo | Francis Chan
In this compelling message, Francis Chan shares the burden that has been burning in his heart: a deep longing to see people who are spiritually dead brought to life by the power of the Holy Spirit. He speaks about the kind of transformation we read about in Scripture—where people turn from sin, are filled with the Spirit, and become radically different, walking in holiness, conviction, and bold faith.
Francis challenges the modern Church to stop settling for weak substitutes of true discipleship. He calls out the tendency to rely on programs, polished messages, and emotional experiences, instead of trusting in the Spirit of God to bring real, lasting change. He dreams of churches that look like families, where believers love each other so deeply and sacrificially that the outside world is stunned by the unity and generosity.
This message is a bold invitation to believe again, to stop playing it safe, and to pray for courage to live out a faith that is real, sacrificial, and Spirit-empowered.
