Summary

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.

0:45.8	heard. I don't want to take us in a different direction because I believe God spoke to me through
0:51.2	you, Dusty, through Randy. I'm sitting there going, Lord, this is something bigger than what I expected.
0:59.1	I really believe exactly what Terry was just praying, that God wants to do bigger things than

1:10.3	You know, I just realized I got so into what you were saying and what the spirit was doing

1:20.4	courage to say what I need to say.
1:22.8	What I believe the Lord is laid on my heart.
1:24.8	When you talk about, man, that illustration about the swimming pool and jumping into the deep end,

1:33.3	By the way, amazing illustration.
1:35.3	I'm going to steal it.
1:37.3	Pretend I made it up, you know, Bertha.
1:48.5	No, because I was that same kid, you know, I wanted to stay in the shallow end. I wanted to be where I know I could put my feet down.
