What would it look like if the Church truly lived out the radical faith found in the Book of Acts? In this compelling message, Francis Chan urges believers to go beyond passively hearing God’s word and begin living lives marked by deep repentance, bold obedience, and authentic transformation. He challenges the Church to break free from spiritual complacency and embrace a lifestyle that reflects the sacrificial, Spirit-empowered way of the early Christians.
Chan paints a vision of a community where older generations uplift the young, resources are freely surrendered for Kingdom work, and God’s supernatural provision follows fearless steps of faith. This is a passionate plea for revival rooted in humility, surrender, and a willingness to give up comfort and control. The result? A Church that is fully alive, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and unafraid to dive headfirst into the unknown for the sake of the Gospel.

Returning to Reverence | Francis Chan
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.

Don’t Settle for the Status Quo | Francis Chan
In this compelling message, Francis Chan shares the burden that has been burning in his heart: a deep longing to see people who are spiritually dead brought to life by the power of the Holy Spirit. He speaks about the kind of transformation we read about in Scripture—where people turn from sin, are filled with the Spirit, and become radically different, walking in holiness, conviction, and bold faith.
Francis challenges the modern Church to stop settling for weak substitutes of true discipleship. He calls out the tendency to rely on programs, polished messages, and emotional experiences, instead of trusting in the Spirit of God to bring real, lasting change. He dreams of churches that look like families, where believers love each other so deeply and sacrificially that the outside world is stunned by the unity and generosity.
This message is a bold invitation to believe again, to stop playing it safe, and to pray for courage to live out a faith that is real, sacrificial, and Spirit-empowered.

Killing the “Moses Mentality” | Francis Chan
In this powerful message, Francis Chan challenges the modern church’s dependence on celebrity pastors and passive faith. Drawing from Exodus 19, Acts 4, and 2 Peter 1, he calls believers to go beyond relying on others to bring them into God’s presence, emphasizing that every follower of Christ has direct access to Him. Francis exhorts the church to pursue holiness, unity, and courage with urgency, envisioning a gathering where all believers come overflowing from time spent with God rather than arriving empty.

The Key to True Transformation | Francis Chan
Why do dogs return to their vomit? Why does a washed pig run back to the mud? Because their nature hasn’t changed. You can clean them up on the outside, but they’re still the same inside.
In this message, Francis Chan reflects on how his encounters in Uganda reshaped his life, family, and ministry. Sharing from personal testimony and Scripture, he warns against the danger of external religion—programs, good sermons, or emotional moments—without true inner transformation. Drawing on passages from 2 Peter, Jeremiah, and Romans, Francis explains that only the Holy Spirit can change our nature: giving us a holy fear of God and pouring His love into our hearts.
