Francis Chan- Suits: Funerals & Founders Week

i’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with Chan a few times. I love his heart… and his proclamation of the Word has rocked my world. But in the 10 or so times i’ve been around him, i’ve never seen him in a suit.   In fact the last time i spent some time was just prior to riding on stage at Catalyst for the Present Hope Tour.   So this presentation to the good folks at Moody Bible’s Founder’s Week is pretty amazing.  Its worth the watch all the way through…but particularly near the end where he offers some amazing words to the mature members present… Chan is quick to point out…and maybe explains why yours truly is hanging with students…

respectfully…I don’t meet alot of adults who aren’t living like they are about to see Jesus…letting go of the stuff…in fact I see us living backwards…here in the states…the older we get…it should be about this world has nothing for me.

and this quote nails it…

the Church is in dire need of elderly people that are living radically for the their faith…young people are dying to come under their tutelage of elderly people that seriously can not wait to see Jesus and are living that way.
