Overcoming the Pressures of the Platform with Max Lucado

This episode is a slight departure from my usual episode, but I had the profound opportunity to sit with Max Lucado, a man I have admired for many years, to discuss the layers of growth and grace that have marked his journey from a young man battling alcohol to the seasoned pastor he is today. In our candid conversation, you will get to see the heart of a spiritual leader who has walked through the fire of personal trials and emerged with an faith in Jesus worthy of imitation. Max's vulnerability in sharing his story reminds us that even those in church leadership need the grace of Jesus.

Stripping away the veneer often associated with pastoral life, Max and I discuss the hurdles of vulnerability, balancing ministry and family, and the relentless pull for approval. Our conversation highlights the power of community in the healing process and the profound freedom that comes from being transparent about one's struggles. We confront the temptation of seeking validation from others, reminding ourselves that our worth is not tethered to our imperfections but is instead a reflection of divine grace.

My prayer is that through this series you will discover and be reminded of the hope and courage available to overcome life's challenges through the finished work of Christ.
