Join me, Max Locato, for Max Locato's because of Bethlehem, in theaters nationwide, December 5th, 6th, and 7th.

piled underneath. It's a time to reflect on the true gift of the season.

Tickets are on sale now for this special in theaters only event.

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 Locato here from my home to yours. Thanks so much for joining

me for today's encouraging word. May God give you strength.

I believe that John's Gospel is all about

us to believe in God's presence and power, no matter what storm we're going through.

Now, you may be going through a storm right now.

I'd like to take a minute and share a story with you about a storm, a storm that I'll never forget, but a

storm in the midst of which God met me. God met me. I was young. I was young. I was old enough for baseball. I was old enough for football. I was old enough for bike riding. But I was not old enough to process what came my way that that weekend

sexual molestation at the hands of an adult man he entered my world under the guise of a mentor. He befriended several

of us, several families in fact in our small town. I remember him as witty. I remember him as charming. I remember

him as generous. What I did not know. What no one knew is that he had an eye for young boys. He would have us over to

his house for burgers. He would take us on rides in his pickup truck. He took us fishing. He

took us hunting. He took us hiking. He offered to answer all the questions that that

boys have about life and love and girls. He owned it. He owned magazines the kind that my father did not permit and he would do and did things

that I'm not going to repeat, but I'll never forget.
