With nearly 100 million books in print, Max Lucado has touched the lives of countless individuals around the world with his words of encouragement and godly counsel. In his new series for TBN, Mr. Lucado turns to one of his most popular devotionals, Traveling Light: Releasing the Burdens You Were Never Meant to Bear, to help viewers identify and release the heavy spiritual baggage that keeps so many of us from walking in God's peace and purpose.

Each of us is inclined through life experiences to pick up heavy loads we were never intended to carry, but which we haul along day after day, mostly without even thinking about it, said Mr. Lucado. "That's because the bags we grab aren't made of leather," he explained. "They are made of burdens. The suitcase of guilt. A duffel bag of weariness, a hanging bag of grief. A backpack of doubt, an overnight bag of fear."

In the new 13-part TBN series Traveling Light, Mr. Lucado uses King David's familiar Twenty-Third Psalm to show viewers how to deal with every burden that comes their way. "God wants to help us get rid of the excess baggage." he said. Recalling that Jesus promised to take our burdens and give us rest (Matthew 11:28), he added that "I don't know about you, but I'm ready to start traveling light."

TBN Vice President Matthew Crouch noted that Max Lucado's warm and friendly manner and conversational teaching style have made him a popular TBN ministry partner. "From his 365 inspirational spots and his God Came Near Christmas series, to his powerful teaching series on grace and persevering through tough times, Max Lucado has comforted, inspired, and challenged millions of TBN viewers in their daily faith walk," said Mr. Crouch. "With Traveling Light we're excited to bring another impacting Max Lucado series to our viewers around the world."

Beginning April 10th, tune in every Friday at 10 p.m. Pacific Time (12 a.m. Central, 1 a.m. Eastern) for Traveling Light with Max Lucado, on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.
