Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Thanks for listening to the podcast of Susie Larson Live.

It's only just a matter around.

Welcome to Sisy Larson Live! Welcome to Susie Larson Live.

Always 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, the deep in your understanding of God's Word, and that

That's why my voice sounds funny. I can't even imagine my life without that pup. He's been so

amazing. My colleague Bill Arnold, who's never met him, but loves dogs so profoundly. He bought

him a couple different presents, surprised us and sent them to our house. He loves him. So when he
