Summary

In this episode of the Crazy Love Podcast, Francis Chan opens his heart about what it truly means to live from God’s love rather than striving to earn it. So many of us believe God loved us when we were His enemies, yet live as though His affection now depends on our performance as His children. Francis reminds us that God’s love is constant, unshakable, and infinitely beyond anything we can imagine. This message echoes the heartbeat of Francis’ brand-new book, Beloved, releasing October 7th. Written with his daughter Mercy, the book invites readers to move beyond head knowledge of God’s love into a daily, lived experience of His presence and delight. You can pre-order Beloved today wherever books are sold.

0:07.0	Francis Chan's newest book, Beloved, releases tomorrow, and today's episode gives you a glimpse into the message behind it.
0:15.0	At its core is a question we don't often slow down to ask. Do I truly believe God loves me right now?
0:23.6	Not because of what I've done, but simply because of who He is. Francis reflects on how easily
0:30.6	we slip into striving, living as if God's affection changes with our performance. This message
0:37.4	is about more than knowing the truth of God's love in our heads,
0:41.4	it's about experiencing it and learning to rest in it every single day.
0:50.7	Jesus, we want you to stay with us. I don't want to take over in any way.

1:07.0	Ah. Why would we feel any need to conjure something up by our own power?
1:23.6	We just rest in his presence with us.
1:48.3	I've been praying that you would know that Jesus loves you and wants to be with you.
1:54.8	We don't have to beg him to come into a room with us.
2:04.9	He's waiting, he's desiring, he's longing to be with us. That's what the cross was all about.
2:13.8	We weren't pursuing him. We were his enemies. We were just doing whatever felt good.
2:27.8	And he looked upon his creation. He looked at us and says, I want to bring them to me. I want to go down there and be with them.
2:37.2	Then when he left the earth, he's telling the, Father, I want to take them all all with me so they can be with me in heaven and see me in my glory because I don't want to live without them and I confess for
2:47.9	too long I've just been focusing on, like, working and like begging him.
3:03.6	And I've been praying for myself, God, help me know your love. Like know your love.
3:12.3	Just like a couple weeks ago when we talked about the throne of grace and it was like, oh, I never saw your holy throne as a throne of grace. But now that I see it and I know it in my head, but I want to know it.
3:31.0	Like most of you would say you know that God so loved the world, but do you mean that?
