Jesus prayed that the church would become perfectly united just as the Father and Son are perfectly one. Yet we are more divided than ever.  Francis Chan shares how becoming one seems impossible. It would take a miracle...

The Bible says that we were created in such a way that we are capable of attaining oneness with God and each other.  What would it look like if the church really believed this and started pursuing it seriously?

Let’s encourage and document movements of prayer for unity.  As an individual or as a group, share your story and record and upload your prayers for unity in the church to Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #PrayUntilUnity. Tag others to pray with you and join the prayer movement.  How powerful would it be to see thousands of believers coming together with this heart and praying for the thing that Jesus commanded and died for?

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me."
—John 17: 20-21 ESV

Impossible Unity

Whenever we use cleverness to reach this generation aside from prayer, fasting, the Word of God, and the Spirit-filled person, we can actually diminish the cross of its power.

The Power and Purpose of the Holy Spirit | Francis Chan

The Lordship of Christ | Francis Chan

When we look at the world, it’s easy to become depressed at the stark difference between how things are versus how they’re supposed to be. Dr. Vince Vitale discusses how Christianity not only affirms those feelings, but also helps to overcome them.

Is God Mad at Me If I Feel Anxious or Depressed? | Dr. Vince Vitale

Can I Find Meaning for My Life Apart from God? | Dr. Jo Vitale

The Apostle Paul desired that the church “stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.” But sadly, in this day and age, the Church seems more divided than it's ever been. Francis Chan exhorts us with a message reminding us that unity in the body of Christ is worth fighting for but it must begin with a proper perspective of the holiness of Christ.

Unity and the Fear of God | Francis Chan

When you read and study Scripture, what is your ultimate goal? Is it to find yourself in the story and focus on your needs? Or is it about something much bigger? In this week’s episode Francis Chan reminds us that Scripture isn’t about us. It’s always been about God from the very beginning. When we take a step back and maintain this perspective, it changes how we read and comprehend His Word, and ultimately how we give Him glory.

It's Not About You  | Francis Chan

At its core, science is based on reason and logic. But, as Dr. Vince Vitale explains, some scientific claims take just as much faith to believe as a Christian’s view of the miraculous.

How Can You Believe Something as Anti-Science as a Virgin Birth? | Dr. Vince Vitale

Why Does God in the Old Testament Seem So Different Than Jesus? | Dr. Jo Vitale

The prayer of many committed followers of Christ is simply, “Here I am, send me.” But in our desire to be used by God, Francis Chan explains that we need to make sure we don’t forget the most important things – to see Him clearly, to remain humble, and to tremble at His Word.

How Can I Believe God Loves Me When I’ve Experienced So Much Evil? | Dr. Vince Vitale

If you look at the current spiritual condition of America, I think we all would agree that our nation needs the Good News of Jesus now more than ever. This week, Francis Chan along with Andy Byrd of YWAM Kona and Jimmy Seibert of Antioch Movement in Waco, Texas discuss the heart and vision behind the 100 Cities Training – a new initiative to equip and send out missionaries to plant churches in the 100 most unreached cities in America. We pray that today’s episode inspires you to take action and obey Christ’s command of the Great Commission.

100 Cities Training | A Conversation with Francis Chan, Andy Byrd, and Jimmy Seibert

What would happen if believers united with other believers, to grow in faith and character, in order to be sent out to plant churches in the 100 most unreached cities in America?

Antioch Movement founder Jimmy Seibert shares the vision behind the 100 Cities Training – a collaborative partnership with Crazy Love and YWAM Kona to train up the next generation of missionaries and church planters to the United States.

If this vision resonates in your heart, pray and ask the Lord what He would have you do.

Launching Lunchtime Seminary

Have you really tried “the church?” In many cases, aspects of the church have been substituted, left out, and even altered. We have to be honest and ask if we are even building what God has intentionally designed for His body of believers. Francis has a unique metaphor to help us think about authenticity in our gatherings.

By God’s grace, Crazy Love has served as a platform for many different initiatives and teachings. While the concept of “new” is often exciting to us, there is great joy in reflecting on God “doing an old thing.” Over decades, one driving message has been uniquely placed on Francis’ heart.
