God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.

Francis Chan

Francis Chan (* 1967) ist ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor, Prediger und Buchautor, der in Kalifornien Großgemeinden und Hauskirchenbewegungen initiierte. Bekannt durch Werke wie „Crazy Love“, steht er für eine radikale, opferbereite Nachfolge Jesu, gelebte Schlichtheit und die Infragestellung bequemer Gemeindekonzepte. Für Bibelleser bietet er aufrüttelnde Impulse zur gelebten Glaubenspraxis, geriet jedoch in konservativen Kreisen wiederholt wegen seiner Nähe zu charismatischen Leitern in theologische Kritik.
