Welcome to the Crazy Love podcast. Do you know God as a loving dad? Would you be surprised to know that he desires to hear from you, to see you, and just be with you?

Today, Francis Chan shares the unique blessing God has for each one of us as his sons and daughters,

and challenges us to approach his throne with boldness and receive the grace and mercy he's promised.

This is my daughter, Mercy. And I have five daughters.

She's number three.

And so I just flew in from Orlando.

She flew in from San Francisco.

We met here.

And I was just excited.

I was like, oh, I get to lead with my daughter today.

And seriously, the whole flight over here, I was just a little giddy. Like, oh, I get to lead with my daughter today. And seriously, the whole flight

over here, I was just a little giddy, like, oh, this is cool. I get to be with mercy. But the crazy

thing is she's my next door neighbor, too. So I see her like every day. We're just been gone from each other

for a few days. And I know. It's super weird. She's married, got two kids, and I just, I won't let her move more than a house away.

But you know how you have different relationships with each of the kids, and it goes up and down and different things.

But I would say with mercy,

yeah, it's just always been steady.

We've just always been deeply in love with each other.

And we've kind of traveled the world together.

And I said, man, I really want you to lead us in worship at the end.

But I also brought her up here because, yeah, I remember when she went away to college.

Oh, my gosh. Like for two weeks, I was just she went away to college. Oh my gosh.
