When our world feels chaotic and uncertain, it's easy to become overwhelmed with our circumstances or fears. In that place, we might temporarily forget the love, power, and presence of our God. Scripture tells us our enemy, the devil, roams about like a roaring lion, but as today's guest reminds us, our God has the loudest roar. He reigns victorious in ever situation, including those that leave us anxious and afraid.

Scripture assures us, God does not want us to live enslaved to fear, weighed down by stress, and overpowered by personal weakness. Christ promised us joy, peace, and inexpressible freedom. He also promised to give us the power to experience each of those supernatural gifts. In this episode, prolific speaker Max Lucado shares a time when, attempting to carry his ministry in his own strength, the burden became nearly crippling and how he found fresh hope and strength through the Holy Spirit.
