I have a question for you, friend. Do you ever feel like you’re drowning in questions you can't answer and problems you can't solve? Today on the show, I welcome back pastor and author Max Lucado for a conversation about how we can learn to lean into the life-saving strength of the Holy Spirit.

In this conversation, Max and I speak candidly about who the Spirit is, how he can empower us to be more joyful, and the ways we can overcome anything when we draw closer to God.

Max encourages us that while the chaos of our lives often feels like too much to take on by ourselves, there is no more need to feel as if we are walking this path alone. There’s also no more carrying weight we were not intended to bear. We can rest easy knowing that help Is here. 

Trust me when I say this is another conversation you don’t want to miss!

Max Lucado is a pastor, speaker, and bestselling author who, in his own words, “writes books for people who don’t read books.” He serves the people of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, and his message is for the hurting, the guilty, the lonely, and the discouraged: God loves you; let him.

Listen in to learn more about:

• How Max has found strength and purpose through understanding the Holy Spirit.
• The ways the Holy Spirit can impact our daily fears and anxieties, not just milestone moments in our lives..
• Why God gave us an advocate in the Holy Spirit and how we can use Him as an everyday guide.

Favorite quotes:

~Jesus described the Holy Spirit as our helper and our counselor and that’s when it dawned on me that that’s who has been helping me lately and that opened my mind with a deep appreciation and a better understanding of the Holy Spirit.

~Any voice I hear has to submit to scripture.

~The Spirit is always going to be kinder to you than you are to yourself.

~The Holy Spirit is the seal of the saint. He seals us for eternity which means that though I may not know much about what’s going to happen, one thing that I don’t have to question is where I will spend eternity. 

~The Holy Spirit is our advocate. He knows exactly how to pray and he takes the groans of our heart and turns them into prayers worthy of heaven.

In this episode I answered this question:

1. You seem as if you always have it all together. Do you ever get stressed out and can’t think? How do you stop doing that? (35:09)
