Summary

In this powerful and sobering episode, Francis Chan dives into one of the most often overlooked aspects of God’s character—His wrath. Teaching from the Book of Revelation, Francis reminds listeners that the justice and vengeance of God are not blemishes to be hidden but perfections to be praised. He calls the Church to a deeper reverence for Scripture, urging believers to embrace all of who God is, not just the parts that feel comfortable. Francis challenges the cultural drift toward a sanitized, palatable version of God—one that never confronts or offends—and warns that when we reshape God's character to fit our preferences, we cease to worship the true God. This episode is a call to humility before God’s Word—a reminder that even when we don’t fully understand His ways, He remains perfectly holy, righteous, and good. True worship begins when we stop trying to tame God and instead stand in awe of Him.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Crazy Love podcast. There's a side of God that many don't talk about. We love to speak of
0:12.2	his grace, his mercy, and his love, but rarely do we speak of his vengeance, and yet it's written
0:18.8	all throughout Scripture. Today, Francis Chan opens
0:22.3	the book of Revelation to take an honest look at this challenging part of God's character,

1:01.5	And we're going to eat of that eternal tree of life. That's amazing. I just, when's the last time you thought about that and just rejoiced over that?
1:13.6	Or have you ever daydreamed about that or daydreamed? I don't know. I mean, just to think,
1:22.2	to take of that fruit and go, I'm going to live forever in the presence of Almighty God who loves me, who is all
1:33.4	powerful and no one can touch me.
1:38.1	There's no danger, nothing I fear, forever.
1:43.7	We dream about so many things, but do we dream about that?
1:47.8	And it's all because of this.
1:49.9	All because of the body and blood of Jesus.
1:53.8	And now we as a family are taking of this together, proclaiming the day is coming
2:00.0	when he's going to return and take me home and
2:04.7	we won't need to fight for what's right amongst all the evil it's going to be like the garden again
2:16.5	except with the absence of evil.
2:20.7	Because Satan is destroyed.
