Summary
What an honor to chat with Max Lucado! Max is a pastor, speaker, and bestselling author with more than 145 million products in print, which have been translated into 56 languages and distributed across 80 countries worldwide
We talk about my favorite book written by Max, You Are Special, which I believe every family should own and read often. We also spend some time talking about the story of Jacob and how his life can encourage all of us. His story points us to a crucial truth we can know and understand about God - that he never gives up on us.
My favorite part is when we chat about the topic of grace – how to explain that to our kids and live it out when it’s hard. I confess that I like offering grace and have difficulty receiving it. His encouragement to me hit home and I will remember it for a long time.

| 0:08.0 | Welcome to Pardon the Miss. |
| 0:09.4 | I'm your host, Courtney DeFaio, and on this podcast, we talk about raising kids as Christian parents. |
| 0:14.2 | It's so very important for me to honor God with my family and the two kids that he's given me. |
| 0:18.6 | But honestly, it's not always neat or easy or tidy, |
| 0:22.0 | but it's always worth it. So join us every week to laugh and learn together on this beautiful |
| 0:26.2 | and messy journey of parenting. |
| 0:46.4 | Okay, folks, we've got a big one today. Max Lucato. What an amazing pastor in person. I really, really enjoyed chatting with him and you'll just see all of these folks are normal people. |
| 0:51.7 | We talk about French fries in his car. We talk about pickle juice and my |
| 0:56.4 | refrigerator. And then we go on to talk about God's love and grace, everything in between. |
| 1:00.9 | And so he's written a book called God never gives up on you. And as I was thinking about you all, |
| 1:05.5 | I thought, man, we need this message that we are not too far gone. We have not messed up |
| 1:09.8 | too much that God is ever going to |
| 1:12.1 | give up on us. And we need that reminder as people and as parents, but it gives me language to |
| 1:16.9 | try to talk to this idea with my kids, to remind them that God never gives up on our kids. |
| 1:23.0 | And so I think we all need this reminder. He's amazing. If you don't know him, you've probably read |
| 1:28.6 | one of his books. He has 145 million products in print, and they've been translated into 56 |
| 1:34.1 | languages distributed across 80 countries worldwide. What a legacy. I'm so thankful and just can't |
| 1:41.0 | even imagine what heaven's going to look like for him. There's so many people that he was able to communicate God's love in such a powerful way. |
| 1:49.3 | My favorite book we talk about at one point is called You Are Special. |
| 1:52.7 | And if you don't have that for your kids, I'm telling you, I know I ask you to buy a book |
| 1:56.1 | every week, but go check that one out. |
