0:23.0	Welcome to Sousie Larson Live, always so honored to get to spend this time with you.
0:28.8	In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your
0:33.3	faith walk, that deepen your understanding of God's Word and that heightens your awareness of
0:38.1	his very real presence in your life. Well, you know, we live in a world that many of us
0:41.9	would say we don't really even recognize anymore. You know, there's new landscapes of

1:44.9	So here's a question. Tell me this. Okay. What's good in your life? Or maybe what's beautiful in
