0:00.0	Hi, I'm Susie Larson.
0:01.3	Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.
0:04.1	Enjoy the conversation.
0:24.7	Welcome. Welcome, just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since and since we've got you late.
0:42.6	Welcome. Welcome to Middays. I'm Susie Larson. So honored to get to spend this time with you. In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk, the deep in your understanding of God's word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. We have got an important conversation.
0:47.5	I've been praying my heart out around this conversation. It's a hot button issue, for sure,
0:53.1	and we're coming my guests and I with humility and with just expectancy that the Lord himself will lead us. Well, my guest today writes this.
0:55.1	She says, privilege, the word alone can make us flinch.
0:58.4	The notion that for no good reason, some might have it better than others, offends our
1:02.9	sensibilities.
1:03.7	Yet until we talk about privilege, we'll never fully understand it or find our way forward.
1:08.3	Amy Julia Becker joins me today to talk about her book, White Picket Fences,
1:11.9	Turning Toward Love in a World Divided by Privilege. She invites us to respond to privilege with
1:16.5	generosity, humility, and hope. We'll even address questions we've been maybe afraid to ask up to this
1:21.7	point, so we can walk further from fear and closer to love, as she says in all its fragile and
1:26.8	mysterious possibilities. We'll get her on in a moment, but I says in all its fragile and mysterious possibilities.
1:28.1	We'll get her on in a moment, but I just want to shout out and give an amazing thank you to so
1:33.3	many friends who showed up for our share event last week. Really, your gifts, your prayers
1:37.6	mean the world to us as we have a vision to reach the world for Jesus Christ. And God is
1:42.6	moving through faith radio. We couldn't do it
1:45.6	without you and we absolutely wouldn't want to. So I just bless you. I pray God blesses you in every way,
1:50.8	mind, body and spirit as we are all in in this journey to reach the world with the hope of the gospel.
