Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

Welcome, welcome just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got you. Welcome, welcome to Mid-Days.

I'm Susie Larson, really honored to get to spend this time with you,

and I just love my producer.

She dances with me in the studio.

She'll just do anything, well, almost anything.

Appreciate her so much.

Well, I look forward to bringing you conversation every

single day that hopefully inspires you in your faith walk, deepens your understanding of God's word,

and that heightens your awareness of God's very real presence in your life. My guest today says

this, that what happened in the Garden of Eden is actually much worse than we think, but the

solution is so much better than we could

ever have imagined. He writes this. The message between the two trees is this. There is hope.

Hope for the faithful. Hope for the prodigal. Hope for those who are mourning. Hope for those who are

wandering. Hope for those who are suffering, running, confused, lonely in pain, in crisis, in patient, or simply in process.

Hope for a new beginning.

And listen to this, hope for a new ending.

Hope for a story of transformation that confronts this life between two trees.

Who doesn't need that kind of hope?
