"God Has Not Abandoned You Here" With Ma...

The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast
About this episode

One of the biggest misconceptions we can have about faith is believing that if we do this, God will do that.

But our friend, author and pastor Max Lucado is here to help us see the ways we may have adopted a transactional theology with God. He will show us how to live when we are in the gap between what we want out of life and what we get in life. God has not left us here. Understanding how big God is helps us better know and trust His character. When we view Him rightly, we can truly experience the beauty and riches of being in a relationship with our Father.
