Back to Basics

Foundations That Define Our Faith.By Francis ChanNarrated by Francis Chan
Length1h 35m

About this audiobook

In these recordings— only available as an audiobook—Francis Chan (bestselling author of Crazy Love and Beloved) discusses the foundational principles that should form the basis of belief for every Christian. Too often, there's a disconnect between what scripture teaches about the nature of God and what believers are hearing and experiencing in modern churches.  Francis seeks to bridge this gap by reminding listeners what core Christian beliefs really are, and why they are crucial to our faith.   In Back to Basics, he explores:   What does it mean to have a healthy fear of God?   What is following Jesus about at a basic level?   What does it mean to be led by the Holy Spirit?   Why do Christians need the church?   Why should we read the bible?   Why should we pray?   What is the point of the Lord's Supper?     Each twelve to fifteen-minute session gets down to the fundamentals of the topic at hand in a way that is relatable to all believers, no matter where they are in their faith journey.   Particularly valuable to new believers, but also convicting to those who have been in the church for so long that they feel they're just going through the motions, this material can serve as a starting point for deeper discussion, debate and renewal.   Comes with a 21-day companion devotional, available on PDF.
