It's hard for anyone to confess an embarrassing sin—much harder for a well known pastor. Even so, in this illustration from his new book, Max Lucado Shows the Power of Honest Confession.

This week we also feature:

• Sermon Series: The Warrior by James Merritt
• Sermon: The Birthing of a New Humanity by Darrell Johnson
• Video: Upsidedown Faith
