About this episode

Francis Chan challenges listeners to examine their faith and expectations of God's power in light of disappointment and cynicism.

Ever found yourself starting to pray “smaller” prayers? Maybe you've walked through disappointment, things didn't turn out the way you expected, or what once felt powerful now seems like a distant memory. Over time, it’s easy to become more “reasonable” in what we believe God can do. But what if that shift isn’t maturity… but drift? In this honest and searching message, Francis Chan looks at the warning of the ten spies in the book of Numbers and challenges the ways we’ve begun to normalize things like complaining, cynicism, and unbelief - often calling them wisdom or realism. He invites us to examine our hearts and ask: Have we slowly lost faith in the God who does the impossible? This message isn’t just about feeling inspired again. It’s about refusing to settle for a version of faith that no longer expects God to move.
