Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

It's only just a matter around. Welcome. Welcome, welcome just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since and but since we've got you.

Welcome, welcome to Middays. I'm Susie Larson. So honored to have you listening today.

I look forward to bringing you conversation every single day that hopefully inspires you in your faith walk,

differently. And when we're confronted with something that scares us, our brain sees only two

options, attack or avoid. But either way, polarization intensifies. What if you could defy your own

instincts and choose a third option? Scandalous, unthinkable. What about love? So what do you

think would happen in and around us if that's how we walked, if that's how we engaged our culture?

Love, what an idea, huh? That's what we're talking about today. Dan White Jr. joins me to talk

about his book, Love Over Fear, Facing Monsters, Befriending Enemies, and Healing Our Polarized

World. What an important book. And thanks to Moody Publishers, we've got five copies to get

into your hands today. You know the drill. If you listen often enough, but I'll say it in case

you're brand new to the Faith Radio family, you can text in, or you can email in your address.
