  I’m sitting here weeping…<br>I’m a pastors wife, saved at 7, went to Bible College, devoted my life to my family and ministry, yet I’ve always known I really don’t believe God loves ME. I believe he loves everyone else, but not me…<br>I can’t tell you how much I needed this. Lord help my unbelief.

  I don&apos;t think people will realize how important what Francis Chan is saying here. It sounds simple but a lot of issues we have are because we don&apos;t fully believe that God loves us. We know the Scriptures, but believing them is another thing.

  When we realize God doesn’t want us to do things for Him, but He desires for us to do things with Him… we are on our way to true freedom.

  Love how Francis subtly took over this interview to minister to Lecrae’s heart. That’s a pastor, that’s a friend. That’s someone beloved by Jesus.

  Not going to lie, this conversation gave me a whole new appreciation for Francis Chan and his ministry. Lecrae may be one of the best interviewers working right now.

  My Grammy ALWAYS said at the end of signed birthday cards to her children and grandchildren that “I love you, but GOD loves you more.” I have passed this on to my child, nieces and nephews. &nbsp;It’s such a precious gift to have. &nbsp;❤

  This is convicting for me. I used to be a critic of Francis Chan along with the other popular mega church pastors for the reasons he listed. And part of me thought, &quot;They&apos;re too far gone.&quot; But watching this has made me realize maybe they all at times struggle internally with the same thing Francis Chan did. We have to keep all pastors in prayer. Who knows the work God may be doing in their minds/souls.

  I feel like i just got fathered through Francis by God. This is exactly what I&apos;ve been walking through in my faith now. Spent a few years &quot;away&quot; because the devotion to my devotion ran dry after a harmful church experience. I needed some time away. Thank God He never let me go.

  When hey said &quot;I can&apos;t replay the things my dad said to me when I have the mind of christ. I needed that.

  Francis nailed it. I was baptized by Francis and I would listen to almost all of MacArthur’s sermons (Francis went to seminary at Grace church). Always looked up to him but now consider myself a recovering judge mentalist. One of our deepest struggles to know Christ is that we never feel like we’re enough. Whenever I hear Francis and most other pastors, I never feel like I’m doing enough. &nbsp;Over time I had come to peace that his message is needed at times, but if only listened to Francis, I would always feel inadequate. So this interview brings me great joy that he’s found a blind spot. Love you so much Francis. Thank you for your message and your vulnerability.

  Love it… what I discern Francis saying is you can only shepherd names, not numbers.

  I just love how Francis respectfully corrects Lecrae&apos;s theology without condeming. &nbsp;He is not holier than thou, but he also corrects wrong with the truth. &nbsp;What a good example.
