Teaching and conversations from
Francis Chan and friends.
There’s a difference between knowing things about Jesus and truly seeing Him for who He is. In this message, Francis reflects on the beauty and supremacy of Christ described in Colossians 1 - the One who created all things, holds all things together, and gave His life to reconcile us to God. He reminds us that we were created for Jesus, and nothing else can...
It’s easy to begin the Christian life by faith and then slowly start relying on our own effort. In this classic message, Francis Chan looks at Paul’s warning to believers who had experienced the Spirit of God but were turning back to a system of works. What God had freely given them through faith, they were now trying to accomplish on their own. Francis remi...
The Bible is filled with ordinary people who lived with extraordinary courage because they believed in the power of their God. But somewhere along the way, many of us have learned to play it safe. In this message, Francis Chan looks at the story of Joshua and Caleb and the difference between a life shaped by fear and one shaped by faith. While others saw gia...
What would happen to your faith if you could no longer depend on a pastor, teacher, or podcast to tell you what God says? One of the most important things we can learn as followers of Jesus is how to meet with God in His Word for ourselves. In 2 Peter 1, Peter knows his life is nearing its end, and his concern is that believers will continue to remember the...
What does it actually look like to be filled with the Holy Spirit? In this classic teaching, Francis explores the unmistakable marks of a Spirit-filled life. Scripture describes a people whose hearts are filled with worship, whose words encourage one another, whose relationships are marked by love and humility, and who continually give thanks to God, even wh...
It's easy to let the newest thing become the biggest thing. A fresh argument, a new controversy, a detail we feel certain about - these tend to take up the most room in our minds, while the things that matter most quietly move to the background. In this Staff Talk, Rob Zabala shares about a neighbor in need and the moment he felt like he was looking at Chris...
Following Jesus has never been about doing whatever feels right. Today, Francis looks at the striking difference between Joshua and Judges. One shows a people moving together in faith. The other shows what happens when everyone does what is right in their own eyes. In a culture that celebrates independence and speaking your mind, it can be easy to confuse co...
It's never been easier to do ministry alone. With AI, social media, and endless platforms, we can build an audience without ever building the Body. But that's not the vision we find in Scripture. In this Staff Talk, Francis reflects on the growing pull toward independence and why followers of Jesus are called to something far more difficult: depending on one...
Jesus never invited people to become more religious. He invited them to be born again. In this message from THE SEND Philippines, Francis Chan teaches from Ephesians 2 and shows that the heart of the gospel isn't self-improvement, it's new life. Because God is rich in mercy, He doesn't simply forgive our sin. He makes us alive through Christ, fills us with H...
Many of us spend our lives asking God to bless what we're doing, when the greater invitation is to discover what He's already doing and join Him there. In this Staff Talk, Francis shares why following Jesus is about more than serving faithfully. It's about learning to recognize when His Spirit is leading the way. As he reflects on recent ministry experiences...
