Welcome, welcome to mid-days. I'm Susie Larson's 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, the deep in your understanding of God's Word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. And if I'm sounding different, you're not going to believe it. The studio crashed just seconds before the show. I've got engineers working on it behind the scenes, and I'm pretty sure that we will be able to be on a better sound as soon as our first break is up. But we're going to go. You know, the show must go on. I just think

today's conversation is so important. So as my guest told me before the show, this is what we're going to do. It shows us what we're made of. And he writes this. He said, there must be some part of you that believes in miracles, that death, though it feels like it is, it's not the end, that what has been sealed in a tomb might rise once again. There is no barren place on earth that love cannot grow a garden, not even your heart. Well, you know the famous tale of Christmas Carol. Well, today we're going to look at a creative twist of the story. It's called The Marriage Carol. And Chris Fabry, my friend, he joins me today to talk about this novella that he co-authored with Dr. Gary Chapman. It's called The Marriage Carol. A little hardcover book. I love, love this book. And we've got five copies to give away. You can text the word book if you want in on the drawing. 877-933-2484. A quick announcement before we hear from Chris is this. We as a team and quite a number of

listeners are joining us as well. We're reading through the Gospel of Luke this month, a chapter,

a day. And I've been recording extra bonus material that goes up on our podcast. And yesterday I just

shared a little devotional thought about preparing the way when John the Baptist was saying,

prepare the way. It's not about your prepare your life because jesus does that but it's preparing your heart for change because he will make the crooked way straight he'll bring the high places low and he'll raise up the

low places he'll do miraculous work if you want to hear about that just go to your favorite podcast player, search for Susie Larson or Middays. And you'll find it there. And today, I talked about fasting and praying, and that'll be up after the live show. All right, let me talk about my guests. We'll get him on the show.
