Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thank you for listening to Susie Larson Live. Faith Radio podcasts are only possible because of your support. So thanks for giving and thanks for sharing with a friend.

Say, won't he do it? Yes, he will.

Won't he do it? Yes, he will. He'll take a stone.

Make it still.

Yeah, we'll only do it.

Yes, he will.

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, anytime my friend Gary Thomas releases a book, I want to talk with him about it.

He's a deep well, and I've said this to him so many times. He probably rolls his eyes every time

I say it. But I really believe

it's true that someday when he's with Jesus, his books will be considered Christian classics.

He doesn't regurgitate something that's been said a thousand times before. He literally

mines precious treasures and fresh perspective of timeless truths from Scripture and even ancient

classic dead guy. So he's going to be numbered

among them one day. He joins me today to talk about his new book, The Life You Were Reborn

to Live, dismantling the 12 lies that rob your intimacy with God. Maybe you've had thoughts like

this before. I'll experience true peace once my circumstances change. Well, I surrender everything to God

except for this one part of my life. Or community is too painful. I just do better when I'm on my own.
