What does it really look like to die to yourself? It’s a phrase often heard in church but rarely lived out in radical, visible ways. In this episode, Francis Chan confronts the quiet drift happening in the Church—where believers try to hold on to their lives while adding Jesus on top. Through Scripture and the powerful story of a village in China that chose selfless love over personal comfort, Francis invites us to wrestle with the truth: following Jesus isn’t about adding Him to our plans—it’s about letting go completely.

Prayer, Power, and the Promises of Christ | Francis Chan
Jesus said we would do greater works than He did… but what does that actually mean? Is that really possible? Have we settled for something less than what Jesus intended? In this message, Francis Chan wrestles with Jesus’ bold promise—unpacking what it means to believe for more, to pray with expectation, and to step into the supernatural life God designed for His church.

Embrace Suffering | Francis Chan
So often, we’re told that following Jesus will make life easier… but what if that’s not what Jesus said at all? In this message, Francis Chan walks us through what the Bible clearly teaches about suffering. Jesus taught us to expect it, to embrace it, and to arm ourselves with the mindset that following Him will not be easy. He’ll show us that overcoming sin requires suffering, that living for the will of God means leaving our old lives behind, and that real love is expressed in serving others, not in being served.

This Is What We’re Made For | Francis Chan

In today’s episode, Francis paints a picture of the kind of relationships we were created for: deep, embodied, Spirit-filled connection with one another and with God. He’ll unpack why this kind of community is so rare today... and what it will take for the Church to become what it was always meant to be.

I Will Fear No Evil | 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.
