Hey everybody, Erica here with Team Lucado.

Wanted to share some exciting news with you all, Max's brand new book you were made for this moment.

Inspired by the timeless and timely story of Esther is available now wherever books are sold. Hi everybody. Max Lakato here from my home to yours.

Thanks so much for joining me for today's encouraging word.

God bless you on this day, wherever you are, however you are, may God lift your spirit, may he strengthen you, may he bless you, may you turn to him today and follow him today.

And may you find strength in the greatest verse in the Bible, John 316.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him

shall not perish, but have everlasting life. If you don't know

anything about the Bible, you start there. If you know everything about the Bible, you come back

to write there. We're facing so many fears, so much uncertainty these days. We need the certainty

of Jesus Christ. In John 316, articulates the certainty of Jesus Christ. And John 316 articulates the gift of Jesus Christ.

He offers himself. There is none other like him. He is the one and only son of God. He is unique in all

of history. And God loves you so much that he invites you and invites me invites whoever to believe in him

believe in him now what does that mean I'd like to tell you about team Hoyt a father and son squad

dick and Rick they race they race lot. 62 marathons. 185 triathlons and hang on to your hat,

seven of those at Iron Man distance. 297 10K runs.

Are you getting tired yet?

Since 1975, they've crossed nearly a thousand finish lines.

Why?

They even crossed the United States of America.

It took them 45 days to do it, 45 days to run and pedal the 3,770 miles, but they did it.

Team Hoyt loves races, but only half of Team Hoyt can run. Dick, the dad, can.
