Thanks for listening to this bonus podcast from middays with Susie Larson.

In this special bonus podcast, we'll hear some exclusive audio from the evening live event I did with Dr. Troy.

My friend and worship artist Mark Allen Schoolmeister leads worship, and then Dr. Troy talks more about how to stay hopeful in the face of seemingly impossible circumstances.

So let me introduce Mark Allen.

Mark Allen Schoolmeisters is a gifted singer-songwriter,

worship leader in the Twin Cities,

and we're honored to have him with us to just kind of open up our evening.

So if you'd give a nice so warm, welcome to Mark Allen.

That'd be great.

Well, we're going to just take a few minutes and just kind of turn our attention upward and so i just want to invite you uh everybody's
