Summary

Lisa talks with legendary author and pastor, Max Lucado, about everything from the root of sin, to dysfunctional families, to prayer life. In his new book, God Never Gives Up On You, Max highlights the Biblical accounts of Rebecca and Jacob to show the importance of our stories within God's larger story. Why do we think we need to be flawless to be used by God? What really holds us back in our relationships? And how can we move to a posture of trusting in our prayer life? These questions and many more are answered in this insightful conversation between friends.
