Staff Talks with Francis: Is Logic Killing Your Faith?

Staff Talks with Francis: Is Logic Killing Your Faith?

Author: Crazy Love Ministries May 4, 2026 Duration: 29:30
Ever found yourself starting to pray “smaller” prayers? Maybe you've walked through disappointment, things didn't turn out the way you expected, or what once felt powerful now seems like a distant memory. Over time, it’s easy to become more “reasonable” in what we believe God can do. But what if that shift isn’t maturity… but drift? In this honest and searching message, Francis Chan looks at the warning of the ten spies in the book of Numbers and challenges the ways we’ve begun to normalize things like complaining, cynicism, and unbelief - often calling them wisdom or realism. He invites us to examine our hearts and ask: Have we slowly lost faith in the God who does the impossible? This message isn’t just about feeling inspired again. It’s about refusing to settle for a version of faith that no longer expects God to move.

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.
