Hello friends, Max Lakato here. Our father is good, even when life isn't.

Perhaps that's tough to hear when the world bottoms out on you. The diagnosis comes, the depression

doesn't end. You lose your job or worse. You lose a loved one. How do you find hope and strength to keep going?

Don't give up.

God is using this myth for good.

Hello, friend. This is Max Lakato.

Thanks for tuning in.

It's an honor to be with you. As we study God's word together,

may our time uplift and encourage you. If you could use some hope, I pray you find it here today. Thank you so much for joining me.

God bless you.
