Francis Chan was Pastor of a large Mega Church in California when the light came on for him. He realized that he had a church full of gifted people, but the church was too large for him to disciple them all. Additionally, he saw the excesses of the Pastoral Culture around him, and he did not want to answer to God later should he get corrupted by it. Finally, he was very concerned that the American Church at large had so watered down the Gospel, that churches were filled with people who were destined for Hell, but didn’t know it! So, he walked away from his church! And now he reaches out independently to preach the WHOLE GOSPEL to the lost, and gives lectures on how to reform the church. He has a large and growing on-line following.
