Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

This is an encore presentation of Middays for Susie Larson.

It's a matter around and so the backroom is you glide because one can just won't do dance.

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

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 and hopefully inspires you in your faith walk, deepens your understanding of God's Word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life.

A.W. Tozer once wrote this, what comes to mind when you think about God is the most important

thing about you? So what does come to mind when you think about him? Well, with that in mind,

my guest today writes this. There's a sentence that can change your life. It contains just three

words and nine letters, yet it is the key to less boredom, more blessing, less rush, more rest,

less pacing, more peace, less fear, more faith, less guilt, more grit, less frustration,

and more satisfaction. So what is that sentence you ask? Well, you're about to find out. Author and pastor Mike Novotny joins me today to talk about his book, three words that will change your life, the secret to experiencing the joy of God's presence. And I will tell you, this book made me smile, and it inspired me and encouraged me greatly. We've got five copies, thanks to Bethany House, to give away to you. So if you're new to the Faith Radio family, first of all, welcome to the family. So grateful. We've got new listeners joining us every single day, whether listening to the live show, listening on your app, or listening to the podcast after the fact. So if you're new to the Faith Radio family, let me tell you the drill. We give resources away on this show every single day. We're so grateful to do that.

Here's the process. You type or text, I should say, the word book, just the book, not in parentheses, not even with an exclamation point, just the word book to 877-933-2484. It'll automatically kick back an auto-response, and there's a link. It takes you about a minute, and you fill out that link, you're in the drawing.

Now, that seems like a hassle, but let me tell you, in order for us to give books away every single day, we don't have the manpower to manually enter every address, all the addresses that come in and all the shows every day. So if you would just give us a minute of your time, we never share your information with anybody. We just need it so we can mail the book out if you win, right? So text the word book to 877-933-24-84 if you want in on the drawing. We'll get Mike on here in just a moment. First, a quick announcement. We are a listener-supported ministry, and if you've never supported faith radio, but you feel like you benefit from the ministry, would you consider being part of the giving family?

You can give safely and securely online at my faith radio.com. And if you're already giving,

I just want to say a special thank you because we absolutely couldn't do this without you and we wouldn't want to. I want every one of you, though, be a radio missionary. If you're

ministered to by the content that you hear day in and day out on faith Radio, tell your friends about us and share us with a friend. Either way, let's spread the good news together.

He serves as chairman of Conquerors Through Christ Ministry, and he lives with his wife and children in Appleton, Wisconsin. Pastor Mike, so nice to meet you. Welcome to the show. Hey, thanks, Susie. We love to start every day talking scripture, and I'm wondering if there's a verse you've been pondering these days you can share with us.

Yeah, I'd love to. Actually, just this morning, I was doing some research on a series that we're

going to have at our church. You can cut me off if this is PG-13 language, but it's called the
