Below are four filmed messages that Fran delivered to various churches and collegiate conferences over the years.

“The Allure of Cold-Blooded Ministry”

What’s the fastest way to reach the human race with the gospel? Does God want the gospel to go viral? Does God have a single preferred method for bringing people to faith? In an age of broadband technology and social media marketing, how should we approach evangelism and disciple-making? “The Allure of Cold-Blooded Ministry” is a 13-minute journey into the power of incarnational ministry in a digital age.

“Living in Exile”

The best way to live life forward, is to always be looking backward…to the past. In this special message to collegiate ministers and students with The Navigators during the COVID-19 “shelter in place” season, Fran draws some powerful lessons from the days of the prophet Jeremiah, for people of faith in the face of the current crisis. Principles that are timeless and relevant, though, for believers in any time and any place.

The Church’s “New Clothes”

Fran exposes the unfortunate but true reality, that like the Emperor in Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale, “The Emperor’s New Clothes,”the American Church is “naked” and not nearly as healthy as it supposes. Unfortunately, this 21st century malady is as old as the first century church of Laodecia. This message will challenge and encourage you to examine and perhaps rearrange how you prioritize worship, fellowship, and ministry so that they are in harmony with God’s preferred order of value.

“The Perfect Job”

The name, Job is nearly synonymous with pain and perseverance. Yet, prior to his world imploding, God Himself twice called him His “servant,” said he was “blameless and upright,” and that there was “none on earth like him.” Buried within the Book of Job, beneath a mountain of conversations is an amazing description of Job before his life fell apart. Fran unpacks Job’s “pre-pain journals” in this insightful and challenging message. Who knows? You may just want to be like him!
