Returning to Reverence | Francis Chan

Author: Crazy Love Ministries September 8, 2025 Duration: 29:18
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.

In a world filled with noise, the Crazy Love Podcast offers a space for quiet, yet challenging, reflection on faith and practice. Through conversations and teachings, Francis Chan-the best-selling author behind books like *Crazy Love*, *Forgotten God*, and *Until Unity*-explores what it means to live a life genuinely devoted to the teachings of Jesus, beyond cultural comfort and religious routine. This isn't about easy answers; it's about wrestling with scripture and its radical implications for our daily lives, our churches, and our relationships. Listeners will find a consistent call to move from intellectual belief into a tangible, active love for God and others. Produced by Crazy Love Ministries, the podcast extends the ministry's mission of fostering deeper spiritual commitment and biblical literacy. Each episode feels like a personal dialogue, urging you to examine the core of your faith. Whether discussing topics from his books or addressing contemporary issues, Chan brings a pastoral heart and a direct, uncompromising perspective. Tune in for a thoughtful, often provocative, journey that aims to rekindle a passionate and purposeful faith. The Crazy Love Podcast is for anyone feeling restless with a nominal spiritual existence and hungry for a more authentic, costly, and transformative discipleship.
