Millions of people call themselves followers of Jesus. Yet their lives look nothing like his and they're not obeying the things he called them to do, laments preacher and author Francis Chan.
The popular speaker lays bare his heart in a new film series, produced by the makers of the "NOOMA" films. And what's been on his heart is the disconnect between what he sees in Scripture and the church today.
"When we were kids, this was a lot easier," Chan says in the series titled "BASIC."
Kids would play the game "follow the leader" and mimic the actions of the leader, whether it's patting one's head or flapping one's arms like wings.
"In the church, we've done this weird thing where we go 'the rules to follow Jesus are different than follow the leader. See, in follow Jesus, we don't actually have to do what he does. We just do it in our heart,'" Chan explains.
