Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson. Enjoy the conversation.

It's only just a matter around. You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got you.

Welcome to Middays, I'm Susie Larson.

So honored to get to spend this time with you and you hear this from me every day.

I look forward to daily bringing you conversations that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk,

the deep in your understanding of God's word, and that heightens

your awareness of his very real presence in your life. And I'm telling you, he is a faithful God.

And here's a question for you, because sometimes, even though the promises are true,

they don't always feel true. And especially if you're walking through kind of a valley of a shadow,

if your soul is parched, maybe you're there now.

Are you in a spiritually dry season? Have you lost your sense of expectancy? I have some good news for you.

My guest today writes this. Dry seasons and droughts are not meant to dehydrate or kill us.

They are opportunities for us to get up and search out fresh water. Do you see that? That's an

invitation. Drought causes us to thirst for the search out fresh water. Do you see that? That's an invitation.

Drought causes us to thirst for the right things again. We learn that movement is important.

We can't linger in the same pool for too long or the water will become stagnant.

Sometimes the well has to dry up, so we'll get moving in a new direction.

We need fresh water to grow and to flourish. New direction means new seasons. Our seasons in life are not meant to last forever. I'm just thinking that is a word-induced for somebody today.

You've been parched. You've been feeling bad about feeling parched. But what God wants to say to you is,

no, it's time to get up. It's time to get moving. I've got a new place for you. Karen Schatzlain joins me today to talk

about her beautiful book, Dehydrated, find refreshment for your soul. We'll get her on in just a second

here. I've got a quick announcement, two of them actually. If you're brand new to the Faith Radio
