Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Thanks for listening to the podcast of Middays with Susie Larson.

You're listening to an encore presentation of Middays of Susie Larson.

Welcome to Middays, I don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got to.

Welcome to mid-days, I'm Susie Larson, so honored to get to spend this time with you,

and I look forward to joining you every single day to bring you conversations that inspire you in your faith walk,

deepen you in your understanding of his word, and that even heighten your awareness of His presence in your life.

We've got another great program plan today.

In fact, my guest writes this,

each day God's Word rings truer in my life.

His resurrection seems more real in my life.

And his power even stronger in my life.

All of this contributes to my hope.

And that's what God wants for all of us.

He wants you to go from grace to grace,

strength to strength, shining ever brighter to the full light of day. My guest today is James Brian Smith, and he joins me to talk about his amazing book. Man, I love this book, the magnificent

journey, living deep in the kingdom. He's an author of The Apprentice Series and the theology

professor at Friends University, lives in Wichita, Kansas, and we're grateful to have them with us today.

Welcome, Jim. So good to have you.

It's good to be with you, Susie. Thanks for having me.

Looking forward to this conversation, sir, and we like to start every day talking scripture, and I know you're someone who loves God's Word.

Do you either have a life first or just one you've been thinking about these days that you can share with us?
