Here is Paula, in her own words, about the episode.
Max Lucado has gone where few religious leaders are willing to go: into the swirling, dangerous waters where faith and politics collide.
On this week’s edition of “Journeys of Faith with Paula Faris," the pastor and prolific author -- his books have sold more than 100 million copies -- delivers a strong message to evangelicals, a community that he says “could do better about sharing convictions compassionately."

For Lucado, his past keeps him humble. He was a “mess," a “disaster waiting to happen," a "converted drunk." Had he not found his faith, he says he’d have crashed and burned.
