The Habit That’s Killing Your Faith | Francis Chan

The Habit That’s Killing Your Faith | Francis Chan

Author: Crazy Love Ministries July 13, 2026 Duration: 34:41
Many of us know what it's like to feel deeply convicted by God's Word, only to find that conviction fading as life moves on. Instead of responding with obedience, we can become stuck in a cycle of overthinking, waiting for perfect clarity, or convincing ourselves that another day will be a better time to act. In this message, Francis Chan challenges us to rediscover the kind of faith that marked the early believers. As he walks through Hebrews 10 and 11, we're reminded that God delights in people who trust Him enough to take the next step, even when they don't have every answer. Faith grows as we respond to God's leading, and a life of obedience begins with the courage to simply say yes.

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.
