In this episode of Staff Talks, Francis reflects on a growing burden he feels for the modern church - a drift away from honor, biblical conviction, and the simple authority of Scripture. From teaching in prison to worshiping openly on Stanford’s campus, Francis contrasts the fear of man with the fear of God and wrestles with what happens when culture, influence, and endless opinions begin shaping our understanding of truth. As more voices reinterpret long-held Christian beliefs, this conversation explores a few of the tensions many believers feel today: Who do we trust? How do we stay grounded? And what does it look like to hold to Scripture as our anchor in a sea of voices all vying to be the answer to our questions? More than anything, this episode is a call to return to a faith marked by reverence for God, confidence in His Word, the awareness that eternity is real, and a passionate pursuit of truth that leads us to love others well.","meta_description":"Has the church lost the fear of God?
