0:00.0	Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.
0:06.0	It's only just a matter around. Welcome to just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got you
0:23.6	welcome to Sissy Larson Live. Always so honored to get to spend this time with you.
0:29.3	In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk, that deep in understanding of God's Word, and that heightens
0:38.2	your awareness of his very real presence in your life. Many years ago, I want to say 10 years ago,
0:43.7	I had a couple of guests on this show. I wish I could remember their names, but they talked about
0:47.0	the times that we were in, and this was way before things got as crazy as they are now, and
0:52.4	they shared how we are in a post-Christian
0:54.9	culture, not to say that there are no more Christians, obviously, but that we don't enjoy the
0:59.1	positive stigma that once accompanied American Christianity. And I know we've got listeners

1:12.5	And they spoke of these thresholds that people tend to walk through in their phases of coming to Jesus.
1:18.7	And the first threshold being that they know one person that they trust, one person that they respect, one person that makes them feel loved and cared for just for where
1:29.3	they're at in their journey. Then they're open to walk through that threshold, walk through that
1:34.2	gate, so to speak, and maybe consider matters of faith. Because if someone has been proven in
1:38.7	their life to say, I'm not leaving, I'm with you, I'm committed to you, is there any way I can
1:43.1	help and love you without making them feel like an agenda or a project simply because they love them?
1:48.4	Suddenly their hearts open up to going, I think I want to hear what you have to say.
1:53.4	Well, I'd say we're not only living in a post-Christian society. I think we're in a post-truth
1:57.1	culture as well. People don't subscribe to or even care about absolute truth like they
2:02.4	used to. So what are we to do? How are we to reach people in our spheres of influence when the odds
