Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thank you for listening to Susie Larson Live. Faith Radio podcasts are only possible because of your support. So thanks for giving and thanks for sharing with a friend.

You're listening to an encore presentation of Susie Larson Lime. Welcome to sing. So the black row is you glide.

Because walking just won't do dance.

You don't have to know how to ever since.

We've got you left.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live.

Always 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. Question for you, why do we do

the very things that we don't want to do? And why do we sometimes think thoughts or say things

or make choices that we know will weaken us?

Recently, I counseled a young woman. I'd like to mentor young women, and she was in a rough spot in her

marriage. And I just challenged her to be careful about the narrative that she was drafting about her

marriage. She was starting to make statements and judgments about her marriage that actually

weren't true, but she was like rendering a verdict against her marriage. So I challenged her to get with her

hubby, go out on a date, and to be honest about some of the false narratives that they've been

developing, and lay them out on the table, and find out what's true in Scripture, what they can

believe God for, what is possible because they are both people who love

Jesus, who are filled with the spirit of God, and write a new narrative, one to live up to,

and aspire to.

And she received it so well, and I was so appreciative.
