Summary

What if experiencing God’s closeness wasn’t rare, but constant? What if freedom from sin didn’t come from trying harder, but from being so satisfied in Christ that sin simply lost its appeal? In this message from Pepperdine University, Francis Chan calls us beyond hype and emotional moments to a faith that truly abides - a life rooted in Jesus, shaped by His Word, and empowered by His Spirit. This is about a relationship that doesn’t fade when the gathering ends, but grows deeper over time. This isn’t behavior modification. It’s transformation from the inside out. When the Holy Spirit fills a life, something real begins to change. Desires shift. Conviction deepens. Freedom becomes tangible. And what starts as a spark can become a fire that lasts for decades.

0:56.9

word, which I'm sure there's still some of that on campus. But to see this, you've got to understand

1:01.5

you're very privileged right now. You're a part of something so special that I really believe

1:08.7

God is doing. That this isn't just another gathering or whatever.

1:13.3

It really feels like some sort of movement of God on this campus.

1:19.0

And I was over there just praying for you.

1:22.1

And I was thinking back to my college days

1:24.4

because that's when everything started coming together.

1:27.2

I was getting rid of

1:28.4

my hypocrisy. I was starting to fear the Lord. I mean, it was, it was, it was an ugly time because

1:34.7

you just see all the sin in your life and everything else. But something started then.

1:41.4

And I'm over there praying during worship. Like, God, what did you do to me during those years?

1:46.0

Because whatever you did to me, I want you to do to them tonight. Like, because I didn't hear

1:53.1

like an awesome speaker or whatever, but something just started happening in my heart where I just
