Welcome to the Crazy Love Podcast.

One of the more beautiful truths about God and man is that the Father loves us deeply.

But when you think about it, how many people live as if that truth wasn't true?

In this week's episode, Francis Chan reminds us how deep the Father truly loves us and

how this perfect love should be reflected in our gatherings as the church.

We pray that this episode will help spark a supernatural love and compassion in your heart

for God and His people.

And it's an amazing opportunity to be with you guys.

I've been teaching your youth in every couple of years at the life conference for last,

I don't know, 10, 12 years or so, loved it.

And now I've got the honor of speaking to you.

I don't know if it's a demotion, if it's a, you know, it's just, but when I heard about

the leadership here, I just, I love speaking to pastors.

I love speaking to leaders because I feel like I've felt so many things that maybe you're

currently feeling or have felt and especially right now.

I just feel this new urgency that we need to be strong.

We need to be united.

There's so many crazy things going in the world and we need the leaders to just be

immovable, to be stable and we live in a time where I see so many leaders just fearful,

we're afraid, we're scared of making mistakes and there's just so much pressure on us.

So I've looked forward to this time and I have been praying for you.

I've been praying for your strength and for your courage.
