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.

Say, won't he do it? Yes, he will.

Won't he do it? Yes, he will. He'll take a stone.

Make it still.

Yes, he will.

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 deep

in your understanding of God's Word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence

in your life. Now I've got a question for you, and it's a question I really want you to lean in,

I want you to hear me, want you to think about it, all right? Do we make ourselves miserable

by trying to make ourselves happy? I'd actually

love your answer. Yes, no. Text me. Do you think we make ourselves miserable by trying to make

ourselves happy? What if we went all in with Jesus and engaged in his purposes, trusted him to

empower us? What do you think might happen? I'll tell you what will happen. You come

alive like you never thought possible. You'll change the world just as Jesus charged you to.

And you'll find a joy that cannot be extinguished by shallow pursuits of self-comfort.

I'm excited to welcome my friend Phil Waldrop back to the show. All of his books, I told him before we got on the air, our discipleship,

they're just packed with wisdom, biblical wisdom, experiential wisdom. In the book we're talking about

today, we've got five copies to give away today. Stop chasing happy and start pursuing your purpose.

And he knows he's lived this message so well. Five copies. You can text the word book, if you want,
