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 deepen your understanding of God's word,

and that heightens your awareness of

his very real presence in your life. Well, have you ever misjudged the situation that appeared desirable

but ended in disaster? God wants us to be wise as serpents, innocent as dubs. You know, he wants

us to walk in high discernment so that we see things as they are and not as they seem.

So what gets in the way of us perceiving things correctly? Why are we sometimes drawn to people

and circumstances that are actually bad for us? How and why do we misread certain situations?

And how can we grow in our ability to rightly assess the people and circumstances around us?

On one hand, we don't want to live in perpetual state of

suspicion, yet on the other hand, we need to discern the red flags that are there to warn us.

That's what we're talking about today. Christian lawyer, author, and speaker, Dr. Wendy Patrick

joins me to talk about her book, Why Bad Looks Good, Biblical Wisdom to Make Smart Choices in Life,

Love, and Friendship. This is a small

hardcover, well, not hard, it's medium-sized, hardcover book, packed with wisdom, and we've got

five copies to give away today. You can text the word book to get in on the drawing, 877-933-2484.
