In today’s message, Francis Chan shares the profoundly deep impact that discipleship has had on his walk with God, his ability to lead, and his growth in Christlikeness. You'll hear about the practical ways God equipped him for life through the examples of his youth leaders and godly mentors--those who sacrificed their comfort to be able to pour into him, and how he was forever changed for the better as a result. He also unpacks God's model for how discipleship is meant to work for the equipping and sharpening of younger generations and helping older generations find new joy in seeing their younger brothers and sisters flourishing, leading and loving like Jesus. He encourages each of us to begin to look for the younger ones in our lives that we can pour into, to create an abundance of light that will continue shining long after Jesus calls us home. May each of us do the same, taking our personal walk with Him seriously so that we can make true disciples with our lives, not just our sermons.

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.
