Crazy Love Podcast

Have you ever been so satisfied in God's presence that everything else - every worry, distraction, and challenge - begins to lose its grip?

Whatever is weighing on you today, there is an invitation to come and be with Him. In His presence, we find the peace, joy, and strength we've been searching for all along.

In this episode, Francis explores the invitation to find our deepest satisfaction in God alone. When we learn to enjoy His presence and trust His love, we're freed from constantly searching for something more. Instead, we can live the life He designed for us - rooted in Him, united with His people, and joining Him in His mission to the world.

It's easy to believe that peace is waiting on the other side of better circumstances.

A breakthrough. A solution. A different season.

But the deepest peace comes from something else entirely. In this Staff Talk, Francis shares what God has been reminding him about contentment, suffering, mission, and the presence of God. He explores what it looks like to be so anchored in God that circumstances no longer have the final say.

The result isn't a trouble-free life. It's something better - a peace that holds steady and the confidence to follow Jesus wherever He leads.

As information becomes more accessible than ever, many of us feel the pressure to have answers for everything. But what happens when the constant stream of opinions, arguments, and competing voices leaves us feeling more overwhelmed than confident?

In this Staff Talk, Francis reflects on the challenge of pursuing truth in a noisy world and the peace that comes from returning to what matters most. As he shares honestly about his own struggles with information overload, he offers a reminder that our greatest need isn't to know everything; it's to walk closely with God.

Francis explores the role of AI, humility, spiritual discernment, and why the people who may have the most to offer the Church today are those whose lives reveal a deep and genuine relationship with Christ.

When the noise is overwhelming, the answer may not be more information, but greater intimacy with God.

Where do you find the right people to walk with through different seasons of life and ministry? How do you stay grounded in what matters when technology keeps changing the way we relate to each other? And what does faithfulness actually look like over the long haul?

In this Staff Talk, Francis reflects on the kind of life that lasts - one marked by love, humility, and a steady dependence on God. Drawing from John 13 and 15, he shares why the people God places around us matter more than we realize, and how an eternal perspective changes the way we lead, serve, and care for others.

This conversation is about slowing down enough to love people well, staying rooted in Jesus in a distracted world, and becoming the kind of person others can grow alongside for years to come.

Has the church lost the fear of God?

In this episode of Staff Talks, Francis reflects on a growing burden he feels for the modern church - a drift away from honor, biblical conviction, and the simple authority of Scripture. From teaching in prison to worshiping openly on Stanford’s campus, Francis contrasts the fear of man with the fear of God and wrestles with what happens when culture, influence, and endless opinions begin shaping our understanding of truth.

As more voices reinterpret long-held Christian beliefs, this conversation explores a few of the tensions many believers feel today: Who do we trust? How do we stay grounded? And what does it look like to hold to Scripture as our anchor in a sea of voices all vying to be the answer to our questions?

More than anything, this episode is a call to return to a faith marked by reverence for God, confidence in His Word, the awareness that eternity is real, and a passionate pursuit of truth that leads us to love others well.
