Welcome to the Crazy Love Podcast.

In today's episode, Francis is joined by the directors of the Church Intensive, Sean

Breakey, and Rob Zabala.

The Church Intensive is a ministry of Crazy Love called to serve the global church and

help train and encourage pastors, church planters, and leaders.

Francis shares how the Church Intensive began and what the Lord is speaking to him regarding

some of the current challenges facing the Church.

So we pray that this discussion encourages you and helps ignite a passion to see the

Church be faithful to its biblical calling.

All right, well welcome.

I'm Sean Breakey, and I'm joined with Rob Zabala and Francis Chan, and we're going to

be talking about some different things in regard to the Church.

This podcast really exists to help serve the Church, leaders in the Church.

And really, I mean, the beginning of all this was six years ago or so.

I mean, we are church started nine years ago, but six years ago we started having a conversation

among some of our elders around how can we help leaders out there who are wrestling with

a similar heart for the Church, a similar tension within them, like, man, I'm reading

the scriptures and what I'm like seeing in my church experience isn't quite matching

up.

I don't know what to do with that.

Francis, could you say a little bit about, like, kind of the start of the Intensive and

where you've seen things evolve and we are church going?
