Does this sound like you?
- You have EXPECTATIONS that are rarely met.
- You pursue PREFERENCES that never come to pass.
- You wonder if the ABUNDANT LIFE Jesus promised is really attainable.
I get it . . . because I was you
"It took me a long time to be able say the following words, 'I REALLY DO LOVE MY LIFE!'
My name is Francis Anfuso, and I want to help you learn to love your life too!
As a former atheist turned pastor, I believe I’ve found the secret to helping you learn to love the life you’ve been given!
Before you can really love your life, you have to solve the riddle of life. Paul the Apostle said, 'I’VE LEARNED THE SECRET OF BEING CONTENT IN ANY & EVERY SITUATION.'
I’ve come to believe the GREATEST DECEPTIONS IN LIFE are EXPECTATIONS and PREFERENCES."
Francis Anfuso
“Loving Your Life” is always based on three things:
Our perspective of God, combined with what He thinks of us = Our only HOPE of loving our Life.
HOW YOU SEE GOD
When you think about what God thinks of you, does it make you sad or glad? Your answer will define your whole life. Do you make God smile or frown? It’s not just possible to know the answer to this question, it is essential that we do. I’m convinced God makes a distinction between who I am to Him, and my sin. The sinful actions that distort my true identity do not and cannot separate me from His love. Frankly, there’s nothing I could ever do to make God love me more or less than He already does. Therefore, my feeling better about myself should never be based upon my performance. Yes, at times, I still sin! But, because Jesus died for my sins, my God-intended identity is not that of a sinner, but as a son.
HOW GOD SEES YOU
If you’re a follower of Jesus, think back to one minute before you gave your life to Him. Did God love you then? Was He smiling or frowning? Did He suddenly have a cosmic epiphany and realize He was head over heels in love with you? NO! God loved you as much one minute before you received Jesus, as He did one minute after. God’s so excited about the life He’s given you, even your greatest challenges, He’ll settle for nothing less than you loving it too. So, how do you learn to love your life? You'll love your life when you know God’s always pleased with you and never disappointed; not everything you do, but everything you are. “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8, NKJV)
HOW YOU SEE YOUR LIFE
What if I told you that God’s will is that you would love the life He’s given you. Would you think it was overstated? Is there any parent who wouldn’t want their child to love their lives? Imagine, if you were an all-powerful God, how you could use Your limitless power to make that a reality for all of your children. But, as God’s children, He has not designed us as mere onlookers. Here are three essential, long-term strategies we need in order to love our lives. Loving life is given to those who learn to embrace the setbacks in their lives, and see their hidden value. Loving life is given to those who develop an overcoming strategy to handle failure. And lastly, the ability to love your life is given to those who praise and thank God, even when things don’t appear to be working out.

"I placed a really high value on learning under Francis. I was in his church for 10 years, have read his books, listened to his teachings, and it's helped me apply it.
How do I apply this in my day-to-day life to be successful, to follow through with the things that I know the Lord has led me to and is teaching me in that season? And I love the practicality that he has brought to my life through his teachings."
Kristy Handy
"A long time ago, when I was living through a series of painful losses and personal failures, someone said something that changed the trajectory of my life. He said, "If pain is an ocean, then healing is learning how to sail."
And while learning how to sail, I met Francis Anfuso, who taught me 'The Secret to Loving My Life.' He taught me that it's about changing your perspective on past life experiences that we hate. It's about understanding that God has set up the journey to be just as important as the destination."
Sean Patterson
"I've watched Francis for decades live out this message and all the highs and all the lows of life. I actually first heard this message several decades ago and I thought, man, these were fantastic ways of looking at life regarding the expectations and preferences we all have.
Unfortunately, I didn't apply all of its lessons and it led to one of the greatest catastrophes of my life. I'm glad to tell you fast forward years later now I'm living the most profound good in my life I could have ever imagined because I've applied these lessons that you will find in this course."
David Loveless
"It is incredibly easy to give in to quick fixes and temptations. I've always needed to pull on the strength of the Holy Spirit in times when I have succeeded and when I have failed and need forgiveness for myself.
I've loved walking alongside Francis Anfuso in these seasons. I love his kindness. I love his genuineness. I love his honesty.
Together in this E-Course we can really connect and God will bring peace to our soul."
Kerri Naber
"Ten years ago, Francis Anfuso came into my life when I really needed to learn the things that the Secret to Loving Your Life E-Course teaches. He lives, eats and breathes the words that he teaches, having gone through himself.
That makes him uniquely qualified to talk about insights that will change the course of your life forever."
Ricky Borba
"Francis is gifted to teach on these topics and because of his obedience to help you tremendously. Desiring to be obedient in what the Lord is asking him to do, his response is not delayed obedience, but immediate obedience.
By being consistently obedient to do what the Lord asks of him the fruit in his life is evident over the decades.
Regardless of what his mind might tell him is the logic of the circumstances around him, He is faithful to obey what the Lord has spoken. That qualifies him to lead in this topic, teaching and adding value to your life."
Robbie Handy
"Francis' teachings on ‘The Supernatural Life' and 'The Secret to Loving Your Life' have made a lasting impact on me. They've drawn me higher and completely changed my perspective on life and my way of doing things.
Francis shares vulnerably and transparently from his heart. His personal stories and testimonies draw you in and engage you. The way I look at life's challenges now, in seeing their hidden value, has allowed me to embrace them in a whole new way."
Beth Mulkin
“I have known Francis for 35 years. I've worked with him, traveled with him. He's really a mentor to me, and he is, in my mind, the epitome of what a godly man looks like. Francis has a phrase that is, ‘If God's written the script for our life, why would we want anything different from that?’
The Secret to Loving Your Life is the secret to loving the script that God has for our life, which means embracing the obstacles and learning to respond well. And if anybody responds well, it's Francis.”
Cameron Ventura
"If you're around Francis long enough, you'll hear him say, ‘I love you. I love you. I love you.’ on a daily basis. He is one of the most merciful men I've ever met.
He is constantly at work building bridges, connecting others to one another, and helping people to find their true inner self and connection and relationship to God.
That’s why he’s perfect for being a teacher and a leader in this E-Course."
Jackie Turner
"I've known Francis Anfuso for almost 50 years. Call It The Secret to Living and Loving Your Life. This time he really seems to have struck gold.
One of the greatest aspects of this course is that it's going to show you how to live outside of your circumstances."
Mike Shreve
"I've been a Christian for well over 50 years, and in that time I have heard hundreds if not thousands of sermons, but it's the words of Pastor Francis Anfuso that are still resonating within my heart.
His life message of learning how to respond well, no matter what the circumstances might be, has transformed and changed my life."
Joyce Pluckebaum
"A few short years ago, I entered into a walking, talking relationship with Francis, where we unpacked our lives, and went deep in such a way that I've been able to come to a clearer understanding of the calling on my life, and a secret to loving my life.
He has taken and distilled 50 years of his journey following Jesus, to guide you on a journey to discover how to lead a supernatural, victorious, overcoming life. If you are willing to go deep and do the work, at the end of this course you will have discovered the secret to loving your life."
Michael Miller
"For 17 years, it's been my honor and privilege as Francis' pastoral assistant to witness firsthand his godly and mature responses to ministry challenges, hurts, disappointments, and joys.
Yet, see how he handles each situation with a pure heart of love by responding well as Jesus always did.
It always starts with a deep breath and a moment of silence as he looks to the Lord."
Lydia Birks
"I first met Francis in the 1980s and have always been impressed with his integrity and his spiritual maturity having been a part of The Rock of Roosevelt.
Throughout his tenure, I have probably heard most of his sermons and some of them two or three times. But the one that has impacted me the most is his message on "The Secret to Loving Your Life.
It is in this message that it sets you up to be perfectly positioned for all that God has called you to do and to be, and through all the many difficulties and trials and hardships that we encounter in this life."
Ken Birks
Is there a secret to God transforming a life?
Is there a SECRET to God transforming a life? I believe there is. God says, “…you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 19:13) In my 51 years of following Jesus, the people I’ve witnessed getting truly free are those who recognize they needed God in a heavier dose than ever before. They didn't nibble around the edges. Though it’s understandable, and even for a season reasonable, if that’s as far as a person goes (nibbling around the edges) they’ll never really get to know God, they’ll never really get healed, and they’ll never find the peace God promises and they long for. Only the fully abandoned—fully open the gifts God has for them."
"Jesus, today I am seeking You with all of my heart!"
"For the Lord God does nothing without revealing His SECRET to His servants the prophets." (Amos 3:7)
