Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

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

I'm Susie Larson, so great to have you with us today.

So I don't know if you heard, but I got knocked over with food poisoning this weekend

and yesterday could not even get out of bed.

You know, once you recover from something like

that, the sky is bluer, your food tastes better, I'm telling you what, it is great to be alive.

Well, I look forward every day to meeting with you, helping to bring daily conversation that hopefully

inspires you in your faith walk, deepens your understanding of God's word, and even heightens your

awareness of his amazing presence in your life.

And we've got a great show for you plan today. Quick question for you before we get this conversation

started. When you look at how polarized our culture is in this day and age, what would you say is the best

response for us as Christians? I mean, you see a you know, varying responses. Some maybe take a passive response

going, you know, I don't want to offend my neighbors. I'm going to love them. Don't want to offend

them. Just going to live very, very carefully. Others who feel like, what, you know, what is that? I need

to be bold. And that, that's true too. But there are times some take their boldness to a place of bullying, which has wreaked havoc in the body of Christ.

Well, the world doesn't need more bullies. Our world desperately needs humble, broken, courageous

Christ followers who dare to stand in truth and walk in love. And that's why I am so excited

to talk with David Benham today. He and his twin brother wrote a great book titled Bold and Broken,

becoming the Bridge between heaven and earth.
