In today’s message, Francis Chan paints a picture of what the Church was always meant to be - a family where every member brings their gifts, their stories, and their brokenness into the light. He shares how honesty, humility, and repentance create space for God’s Spirit to move and bring real revival. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 1 and the book of Job, Francis reminds us that God’s comfort in suffering is never wasted; it’s meant to be shared with others.
If you’ve ever wrestled with shame, questioned God’s fairness, or struggled to make sense of suffering, this episode will remind you that the story always ends with God, the Creator, who holds the clay in His hands and is worthy of our trust, even when life doesn’t make sense.

Desperate for His Presence | Francis Chan
In this powerful message from a worship night at Pepperdine University, Francis Chan challenges us to long for more than just emotional moments or great worship experiences, but to hunger for the presence of God Himself.
Drawing from Exodus 33, Francis unpacks Moses’ bold statement to God: “If Your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” He reminds us that Moses wasn’t satisfied with blessings, success, or even an angel leading the way. He wanted God Himself.
Through Scripture and stories from his own journey, Francis describes what happens when the Holy Spirit truly changes a person’s nature, when worship becomes a response of the heart rather than an act of habit. He contrasts outward religion with inward transformation, calling us to let God put both His fear and His love within our hearts so that our walk with Him endures for a lifetime.
This message is a passionate invitation to examine what we really want from God: His gifts, or His presence. May it stir a holy desire in you to seek Him above all else.
