Thanks for listening to this Susie Larson Live podcast available.

Thanks to support from listeners like you.

Welcome. Welcome just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since and a sense, it's got you late.

Welcome to Sizzy 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,

that deepen your understanding of God's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. Well, here's a question that I'd love

for you to answer if you'd like. How would you describe your relationship with money? I mean,

if you had two words to describe your relationship with money, what would they be? Can you text me

877-933-24-84? 877-933-24-84. Maybe you'd say stressed or blessed. Maybe you'd say fearful. Or maybe you've

heard me tell this story before on a past fundraiser, and it's not a fundraising day. Just hang with me here, but I've told the story during our

fundraisers. But I remember time when my boys were little, three little boys, we had more

medical debt because of me in my Lyme disease battle than we had income. And we had so many medical

my little boys, put them in their car seats, got behind the wheel, grabbed the wheel, and put my head

down and just cried my eyes out. And, you know, I'll tell you back then, conversations around

finances sparked fear in me. But as you know, if you've heard our story, we've come a long way

from those days. And we've learned a lot about how to steward the resources God entrust to us. Well, today we're going to try to take some of the fear and the stress out of your relationship with money. God cares deeply about this part of your story. It's why I'm so excited. And maybe you've been already getting the drift here that we've been having Bob and Linda Lottick on the show every month to talk about our relationship to money. The title of their

amazing book is Simple Money, Rich Life, Achieve True Financial Freedom and Design a Life of Eternal

Impact. And for those who may have you missed previous conversations with the Lottics,

by his 20s, Bob was overwhelmed by debt, stranded a thousand miles from home,
