Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

It's only just a matter of.

It's only just a matter around.

It's like a matter of heart to sing.

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

You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got you.

Welcome, welcome to Middays.

I'm Susie Larson, 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, that heightens

your awareness of his very real presence in your life. Well, you know, many people today miss God's true call

in their lives because it isn't flashy or exciting. You know, often the road to your calling,

my guest today says this is dressed in overalls and it looks a lot like hard work. That God's

path for you requires more than feelings. It calls for action. It's going to be

hard sometimes. It's supposed to be hard, but the favor of God will follow you. We're going to take a look today at the story of Jonah and see if we can't find ourselves in that story. My friend, Pastor Drew Shep, joins me today in studio to explore the idea that God's call on your life is really quite simple, though not always easy.

And the living out our God-given call requires some grit and grace, endurance, and perseverance.

We'll find nothing more satisfying in the whole world than fulfilling the God-given call to assign to us by the Lord himself.

We're going to get through on in just a moment.

A quick announcement.
