Why do dogs return to their vomit? Why does a washed pig run back to the mud? Because their nature hasn’t changed. You can clean them up on the outside, but they’re still the same inside.
In this message, Francis Chan reflects on how his encounters in Uganda reshaped his life, family, and ministry. Sharing from personal testimony and Scripture, he warns against the danger of external religion—programs, good sermons, or emotional moments—without true inner transformation. Drawing on passages from 2 Peter, Jeremiah, and Romans, Francis explains that only the Holy Spirit can change our nature: giving us a holy fear of God and pouring His love into our hearts.
