b'
On today\'s episode, we chat with 2 time guest, Pastor Max Lucado! Max Lucado is a pastor, speaker, and best-selling author who, in his own words, \\u201cwrites books for people who don\\u2019t read books.\\u201d He serves the people of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, and his message is for the hurting, the guilty, the lonely, and the discouraged: God loves you; let him.
\\nAs a writer, Max is known for combining poetic storytelling and homespun humor with the heart of a pastor. All of his trade books began as sermon series at Oak Hills Church, and his sermons all begin with Max asking himself this question: \\u201cWhat can I say on Sunday that will still matter on Monday?\\u201d He\\u2019s been dubbed \\u201cAmerica\\u2019s Pastor\\u201d by\\xa0Christianity Today, and \\u201cThe Best Preacher in America\\u201d by\\xa0Reader\\u2019s Digest.
\\nMax\\u2019s books have sold more than 145 million copies in over 50 languages worldwide. He published\\xa0On the Anvil, his first trade book, in 1985. His 44th trade book,\\xa0Help Is Here, was released in 2022. Max\\u2019s books regularly appear on bestseller lists, including\\xa0The New York Times. His writing has also been featured in Bible studies, Bible commentaries, songs, greeting cards, and even plush toys. He is the recipient of the 2021 ECPA Pinnacle Award for his outstanding contribution to the publishing industry.
\\nGod Never Gives Up on You\\xa0is a book for the members of the Lost Halo Society. For the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us. For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel. We mean well, but we don\\u2019t always do well. We have breakthroughs and breakdowns, often in the same hour. We need no reminder of our failures, but we could always use a refresher course on God\\u2019s perfect plan to use imperfect people to do great things.
\\nJacob\\u2019s story invites us to believe in a God who sticks beside the unworthy and underachievers and leads us safely home. If God can use Jacob to further his kingdom, he can use us too.
