More than two thousand years ago God broke through the barrier separating sinful humanity from a Holy God and took on human flesh in the form of a tiny baby. Christianity says all of human history had been building to that monumental event that separated time. Why did God, the creator of the universe, decide to enter our world, not as an avenging angel, but as a vulnerable and innocent baby? It's because of love. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Pastor Max Lucado, best-selling author and preacher, talks about the true meaning of Christmas. That Christmas set into motion the life-altering cosmos calamity that closed the chasm between God and sinful man."Christmas", says Lucado, "begins what Easter celebrates." The two highest holy days of the Christain calendar are eternally linked. While Christmas has become much more commercialized with shopping and Santa taking center stage, it hasn't changed the reality that the peace and joy we talk about on Christmas cards and ad slogans, flows only from this one event, the birth of Jesus: "For God so loved the world!"

It's starting to get embarrassing how much I gush each time I interview Pastor Max Lucado. But my goodness, after today's show I promise you'll understand why he's often referred to as “America's Pastor.” He has the kindest, most relatable presence even when he's tackling something as complex as the end times in his new book What Happens Next.    If you are like me and grew up a little bit nervous thinking about the end times and what it might look like when Jesus returns, please grab a latte and get ready for a new perspective. I think you'll feel differently after you hear us talk about whether this is the end times we're living in, the biblical signs of the end times, how we should view the rapture, and even whether the antichrist is alive today. I mean, we cover it all people, and it's enlightening and reassuring.    But I must say one of my favorite parts of our conversation is when I ask him to share how he tends to hear from God in his own life. It's a sweet story with a critical reminder that God is still moving, speaking, and working in our lives. And yes, the end times can be scary if we don't center it on God's word, but when we do we know how the story ends—and it's a good one.    Can't wait for you to listen today! Be sure to share it with your friends please.      All things cynthia What Happens Next by Max Lucado

We live in uncertain times.  We try to plan for our future but none of us knows exactly what life will bring our way.

Pastor Max Lucado has never been an end times kind of preacher. It's just not a major factor in his preaching wheelhouse, which is why his most recent book, "What Happens Next: A Traveler's Guide Through The End Of This Age" seems at first a departure from his normal uplifting spiritual guidance. Predicting the end of the world has become a bit of a cottage industry of late. But prognosticators wouldn't pursue the subject if there wasn't widespread interest and attention given to it. Even though Jesus said no one but the Father would know the actual date and time, it hasn't stopped the forecasting. However, Jesus did tell His followers the conditions to look for when the end times will be upon us: "Wars and rumors of wars... famines and earthquakes." But Pastor Max says the 'when' of the end times is not nearly as important as the condition of our hearts, which is something we can address every moment of every day. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Pastor Max explains that the main point of his book is that, if you have clarity about the future, if you know what your ultimate destiny is, that allows you to be courageous about the here and now, and be able trust in the God who controls it all.

What if the perpetrator of your pain isn't something on the outside, but your own sinful choices that have led to your suffering? How do we navigate the self-inflicted hurt caused by our own destructive decisions? Author and Pastor Max Lucado knows the feelings that can come from sinful decisions. In his own life as a young man, he began to see the dangerous trajectory of his choices if he didn't surrender to God's leading. Later as a well-known pastor and author, he would experience a similar reckoning when the weight of leadership became overwhelming and he turned to alcohol to ease the pain. It was through those experiences that Max's heart grew for those who have felt like Jacob in the Bible, wrestling with God and wondering if God had given up on them. In his latest book, God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob's Story Teaches Us About Grace, Mercy, and God's Relentless Love, Max explores Jacob's story and how it relates to each of ours. In this honest conversation, Davey talks with Max about how we can truly believe that God doesn't give up on us, how to approach our self-induced pain, and the importance of authenticity in leadership. If you've ever wondered if God has given up on you after the mess you've made in your life, this episode will serve to remind you that no matter how far you've gone or how long you've wrestled, God's grace, mercy, and love never runs out.   Website: maxlucado.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/maxlucado Facebook: www.facebook.com/maxlucado Book: God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob's Story Teaches Us About Grace, Mercy, and God's Relentless Love https://a.co/d/fod5gGU Pastors, looking for a way to establish a path towards healing and redemption within your church?

“How do you find good news in such bad times?” Glenn asks Pastor Max Lucado on this episode of "The Glenn Beck Podcast." The answer, he says, is simple: Remember that God is still on the throne, even when trouble surrounds us. Max's cool-headed wisdom is exactly what the world needs right now as the war between Israel and Hamas threatens to expand to a global conflict. But is this more than just another war? Is biblical end times prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes? And how should we prepare for what's coming next? Glenn and Max discuss this and much more: What is a covenant? What makes the Gospels unique? What if our response to the upheaval of today was to become a nation of penance and prayer? What does it mean to be a man at a time when masculinity is under siege? Max tells Glenn we can learn the answers to many of these questions from the biblical story of Jacob, which is the subject of latest book, “God Never Gives Up on You: What Jacob's Story Teaches Us About Grace, Mercy, and God's Relentless Love.” “This is a spiritual battle,” he adds, and it's unlike anything that has preceded it.
