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.

You’re Not an Accident | Francis Chan
What if all the insecurity, fear, and comparison have been lies—meant to distract you from something God settled before you were even born?
So many live with a quiet ache, wondering if they really matter—if they’re really made for anything significant. But in Jeremiah 1, God tells us something staggering: ‘Before I formed you, I knew you.’
In this teaching, Francis Chan opens up about his own journey of self-doubt, and the breakthrough that came when he realized he wasn’t an accident. He was made for a purpose—and so are you.

I Will Fear No Evil (Part 2) | Francis Chan
What if you could live without fear—truly fearless, even in the face of death, suffering, or the unknown? What if the hardest truths about your own heart didn’t crush you, but instead became the gateway to joy and courage?
In this teaching, Francis Chan walks through Psalm 23. He unpacks how the Psalm shifts from God as an idea to God as a present Shepherd, and challenges us to live fearless lives rooted in God's sovereignty, goodness, and eternal promises.

The Cost of Following Christ | Francis Chan
Have you ever faced a season so painful, so intense, that you wondered if something had gone terribly wrong in your walk with God? What if the very trials we dread are actually signs that we’re right where we’re meant to be?
In this teaching, Francis Chan opens up 1 Peter 4 to show us that suffering for Christ isn’t strange—it’s expected. He explains how trials test and refine our faith, and why the Spirit of God meets us most powerfully not in comfort, but in difficulty.

What Are You Hiding? | Francis Chan
In this deeply honest and raw message, Francis Chan shares from a place of personal repentance. Recently stepping away from his long-term role in ministry, he reflects on a season of distraction and spiritual dullness, confessing that he had started loving other things more than Christ—not sinful things, but lesser things that still pulled his heart away from Jesus.
Grounding his reflections in Philippians 3, he emphasizes Paul's radical passion for Christ—counting everything else as loss compared to knowing Him. Francis challenges the church to examine their own hearts: Do we love Jesus or just the things He gives?
