Episode Description

Have you ever watched someone approach the end of their life and thought, I want that? Not the dying part, but the confidence. The peace. The sense that they lived life well and they knew it.

In this final episode of the season, Candace and Francis Chan get honest about what it takes to make it to the end — and what it costs to walk away.

Francis opens with something he does not say lightly. He tells Candace he is proud of her. Not in a way that comes from someone distant, but from someone who has watched her life up close for decades and seen a woman who kept choosing the same thing over and over again. She kept choosing God. And he encourages her — with the warmth of someone who has buried friends and sat with people on their deathbeds — to keep going. The enemy is crafty. The people who fall away are not strangers. They are people who were there. And yet there is a reason Peter said, "Where else would we go?"

They talk about heaven, about what the fullness of God actually feels like, and about a man named Alan who is dying as they record the episode. Francis asked if he could FaceTime Alan into a chapel of 1,000 students — and Alan said yes. Watch the episode to catch the whole conversation!
