Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

You don't have to matter of it's only him of sense we've got you love welcome to

susie larsen live i'm always 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 deep in your understanding of god's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real

presence in your

life. So here's a question to get the show started. Why do you suppose we remember the things we do?

Maybe you remember a nurse who cared for you, but you don't recall her name, or you remember how

gentle and kind a teacher was, but you remember what grade it was. Maybe you don't recall

how old you were, but you remember an

experience that marked you forever in the way that you view yourself and you view God. How is it

that two people can be at the same event and remember totally different things? Why do we

remember the things that we do? So that's what we're talking about today is our memories and the

role they play in our spiritual formation. And this is so important because, you know, I believe just in a little bit, I'm a lay person who's studied this, but I'm fascinated with brain science and spiritual transformation and formation.

You know, I believe personally that there are some memories in each of our back story that we're maybe remembering incorrectly, that the enemy meant it that way. I believe there's some memories in each of our backstory that we're maybe remembering incorrectly,

that the enemy meant it that way. I believe there's some good memories in our backstory

that are absolutely suppressed and compressed by painful things that happen after the fact

that, and as we heal, some of those memories might just emerge. So here's my question for you

before I introduce my guest today. In fact,

I'll just tell you who I'm talking to. Casey Taggart is my guest today. His book is titled,

as I recall, discovering the place of memories in our spiritual life. Fascinating. I had him on,

I want to say a year or two ago, but I wanted to revisit this topic. So here's my question for you.
