Welcome to the Crazy Love Podcast. As time moves forward it's so easy to be frustrated, angry, and maybe even depressed at the current state of the world.

You look around and things seem to be falling apart. You look inside yourself to muster up your own piece but can't find it there either.

In this classic teaching from Francis Chan, we're reminded to look up at God and consider how the scriptures describe Him.

Because having a high view of God changes our perspective of the entire world.

We pray that as you listen to this message your heart of worship is elevated towards God today.

And if you've been listening to the podcast for the last few weeks, you've probably heard about the Hundred Cities Training, a new initiative from Crazy Love,

Y-Wam Kona, Antioch Movement, and Upper Room to train and equip young leaders to plant churches in the 100 most unreached cities in the US.

Well we are very excited to announce that the application deadline for the July training has been extended to Saturday June 25th.

We encourage you to stay tuned after today's teaching to hear a short message from Francis about this new program.

For more information you can head over to hundredcities.org. That's h-u-n-d-r-e-d-cities.org.

And that song says, no, even if the circumstances don't change, you're still holy.

You're still God, you're still on that throne.

And I think it's so significant because a lot of you, I don't know how you come into the room today.

You may come in and all sorts of stuff is going on in your life and I'm kind of scattered this morning.

I just flew in from Washington DC this morning.

And last night we did this conference with these college students and just thousands of college students.

Great worship time, but before the last session one of the leaders came in and he had a bunch of prayer requests from the students.

And it changed everything for me because, okay, all I saw was thousands of college students, okay, let's get him fired up.

Let's go, let's do something, we got these great bands, we're getting the worship, everything else.

But suddenly he reads their prayer requests and he goes, you know, let me just read a couple of these.
