Welcome to Welcome to

Welcome to Sous Welcome just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got

you late. Welcome to Susie Larson Live. 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, that deepen your understanding of God's Word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. Well, years ago, I read a quote, and this is my paraphrase of the quote, but it stopped me in my tracks, and I literally been thinking about it ever since, and it goes like this, since we follow an unhurried Savior, what should the pace of our lives be? Since we follow an unhurried Savior, what should the

pace of our lives be? We need to think about that. Jesus was never in a hurry, yet he was always on

mission. There was a purpose in his rest. There was a purpose in his work and even a purpose in

his interruptions. So is it possible to live an unhurried life in this culture i really believe it is in fact the

author of that quote is the one who joins me today he asked that thought-provoking question many

years ago today we're celebrating his book a year of slowing down daily devotions for unhurried living

it's a hardcover book with short daily readings, and he looks at each of the daily readings

as a five-minute retreat. And I'll tell you a lot of times, when we give resources away almost every day, I almost always give my copy away, too, because I want to get as many books out to people as possible. But selfishly, I'm just, I'm not sharing my copy today. I really got to tell you, I feel like this is the next book my hubby and I are supposed to go through but I am thrilled to say we do have

five copies to give. copy today. I really got to tell you, I feel like this is the next book my hubby and I are supposed

to go through. But I am thrilled to say we do have five copies to give away. If you need a year

of slowing down, if you need to learn how to exhale, inhale and exhale, I would love to get

your name in on the drawing. You can just text the word book. No exclamation point, no quotations,

just the word book,

He says, in our hurried culture, we often overvalue work and we undervalued rest. Do you think that's true in your life? I think it's definitely been true in my life, or we've overvalued work and undervalued rest. He says, both are gifts of God to be received at the unhurried pace of love, grace, joy, and peace. We'll get him on in just a moment. A quick announcement. We are partnering

with one child again this year, and we're praying. I can't remember what the number is, but I think it's close to 1,700 children sponsored in the next month or so. Every child matters to God. And I would spend some time on our website, MyfaithRadio.com, if you click on the One Child link, you get pictures of all these
