Bestselling author and “America’s pastor”[1] Max Lucado intersects today’s headlines with timeless truths of Scripture in his new book, Unbreakable Courage: Strong Faith in an Age of Anxiety, Chaos, and Exhaustion (Nelson Books, releasing August 11, 2026). His message was featured on a live broadcast on FoxNation from Museum of the Bible on July 30 called A Night of Unbreakable Courage with Shannon Bream.

In these conversations, Max Lucado offers a fresh exploration of the prophet Elijah – a man who faced cultural upheaval, spiritual opposition, personal exhaustion, and deep discouragement. Elijah’s story reveals critical insight for people today to discover unwavering, unshakeable, unbreakable courage through faith in the one true living God.
“Elijah’s story is relevant because the challenges he faced are similar to yours,” writes Max Lucado. “By the time Elijah appeared on the scene, Israel was six decades and four kings deep in a cesspool of death and decadence. Ungodly idol worship. Unholy clergy. Unbridled evil. Untold sordid scandals. Sound like a good era in which to live? Sounds like the era in which we live?”
