Hi Everyone, Just wanted to share a helpful video with you. In this video Francis Chan talks about his experience with fame after the success of his book, “Crazy Love,” and how it affected him. He also talks about doing ministry in an Internet society where everyone has access to you. It’s 30 minutes long, but he gets into it right away – the first 10 minutes are especially helpful for bloggers! Click here to view the video on YouTube!

    Interesting you put up Chan as I was just introduced to one of his other books on a link on my blog. I’ll have to check out this video- I really enjoyed his book “Crazy Love”

      I liked that book, too. We’re reading his book Multipy in sunday school right now which is also good

    thank you for sharing this. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I think there is some truth to his message. Smaller is better.

      I love listening to Francis Chan speak. He’s fun to listen to but always has such a great message – often one I need to here.

    Thank you, Barb. I am overwhelmingly grateful right now that I haven’t been in the public eye. I couldn’t handle it.

      I can’t imagine how hard it would be either. Just writing this little blog is hard enough for me!
