Francis Chan: What If God Doesn’t Want Us to Go Back to ‘Church, Life as Usual’?

April 8, 2020 by Staff

(ChurchLeaders) Francis Chan had a message for believers and non-believers alike during a brief message on “Perspective in the Pandemic: Leader Check-In.” Chan joined 50 other evangelical leaders–musicians, speakers, and pastors–in a 10-hour livestream session to give some Christian perspective on the pandemic.

The heart of Chan’s message urged those watching to repent and to consider that perhaps when all of this is over we shouldn’t get back to “church as usual, life as usual.”

“What if God is taking us to a different place?” Chan asked from a balcony in Hong Kong, where he and his family are currently living. “Many of us are anxious to get back to normal. I hope your anxiety is not just so you can go back and get busy with so many things,” Chan explained.
