Best-selling author and speaker Max Lucado joins Blake to talk about his own experience as a worn-out pastor, weighed down by all he felt he needed to be for his church. In his book, he invites others to lay down toxic self-sufficiency as they embrace the power of God’s Spirit. Listen in as they discuss how everyone can enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit and experience the vigorous life that He offers.
