God’s Grace in Our Ministry Struggles - Max Lucado - 74 - FrontStage BackStage with Jason Daye
What do we do when we struggle in ministry, when we face disappointments when we don't always get it right as we lead? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Max Lucado, a passionate pastor, incredible ministry leader, and best-selling author. With more than 145 million books in print around the world, Max's latest book is entitled God Never Gives Up On You. In this conversation, Max reflects on the life of Jacob in Scripture, and shares from his personal experiences how we can navigate some of those challenges that we face in ministry, and how we can accept God's love, grace, and mercy in the midst of those struggles. Now, for those of you watching the video on YouTube, you will notice that near the end of our conversation Max does encounter some technical difficulties and his camera freezes. However, we were able to capture all of the audio and encourage you to listen through to the very end because Max offers some of the most heartfelt encouragement and guidance for pastors and ministry leaders.
