Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

It's only just a matter around.

Welcome to Sisi Larson Live. do dance you don't have to know how to ever since him of sense we've got you love welcome to

this isy larsen live i'm always 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

the deep in your understanding of god's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. I wish I had the passage open, because I just thought of it as I was listening to the opening music, but you know that passage in scripture that talks about in the latter days, in the last days, people will be lovers of themselves. They'll be full of dishonor, and they will only listen to what their ears want to hear, tickling ears want to hear. Well, I'm praying that you will lean in and listen today, and I know you're not that way, because if you're listening to Faith Radio, listening to this show, you're a deeper life person, you take your face seriously. We're talking today about what it means to understand the times and to know what to do. And we've got a sobering, thought-provoking conversation ahead,

but we're also going to cast a fresh vision for what is possible if we'll heed the word of God

in our day. In his article, hope at hand, the ultimate answer to our prayer is drawing near. My guest

David Brandt writes this. Instead of being hijacked by multiple crises enveloping us in overwhelming waves of spiritual

anxiety, despair, paralysis, powerlessness, fatigue, and finally retreat, what if God were to offer

us a marvelous alternative? In other words, what if his offer were to take us into a profound

recovery of wholeness as God's people by restoring to us the whole vision

of the whole Christ, by saturating us with the person and presence and the power of Christ,

by mobilizing us to join together to advance the purposes of Christ, despite the impending

great shaking. More specifically, what if God has already set before us the gift of a Christ

awakening? If only we will welcome it. I'm going to get David on in just a moment, but a couple

quick things. I want to give some books away today. We've got a good stack of books on our

faith radio shelf, and if you don't mind a surprise, just trusting God will give you the right book

at the right time. Text the word book if you want in on the drawing.

877933-2484. Just lots of great books sitting there. We want to put them to good use and we love giving books away on Susie Larson Live. And also, I want you in your engagement today, I want you to text me, okay?

I joked the other day that I think it's my love language.
