Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

It's only just a matter around.

It's only just a matter around.

It's got the matter of time.

So the back row is you glide because smoking just won't do dance.

You don't have to know how to ever since and

since we've got you love. Welcome. Welcome to Middays. I'm Susie Larson, and 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, the deep in your understanding of God's

word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. So, as we know, oh, good. Okay, well, here's a question for you. Sorry, you'll know what that oh, good means in just a moment. We were having a hard time getting our guest, and I think we got him here. So here's my question to set up the conversation. Is true happiness attainable this side of heaven?

I know we talk about joy a lot. The joy of the Lord is our strength. But what about happiness?

Are we entitled to happiness? Is it an elusive dream? And what is the good life really? Well,

I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Derwin Gray back to the program. I talked to them, I want to say,

a couple of years ago on one of his other books. And today we're talking about his new release, The Good Life, what Jesus teaches about finding true happiness. We'll get him on in a moment. But again, I just want to let you know, we've got an amazing live stream event tomorrow night. And the reason I think it's going to be powerful is because the spiritual warfare behind the scenes has been incredible. I'm doing this live stream event. It will be broadcast on YouTube.

You'll get the link off of our faith radio page. But Dr. Troy and I are going to talk about winning

the fear, worry battle. We're going to talk about the physiological implications of fear and worry,

what the Bible says about our capacity to overcome.

We'll talk about brain hacks, even, ways you can interrupt rogue thoughts that are taking

you right into the ditch.

And what's super exciting is our giveaways are just increasing.
