0:00.0	Thanks for listening to this Susie Larson Live podcast available thanks to support from't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since me.
0:23.7	Welcome to Susie Larson Live. 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. We're talking today about stewarding our lives in a way that reflects
0:41.8	God's heart, where it shows that we trust him more than we trust ourselves, where instead of
0:46.4	operating under the constant obligation, we respond to God's precious invitation to walk with him.
0:53.2	My guest today writes this, time is not something
0:55.3	to manage, save, spend, or waste. Our primary call as Christians is not to practice habits of
1:00.7	productivity, but to practice habits of fruitfulness that lead us into faithfulness to God and our
1:05.8	neighbor. She further writes, if God only cares for our punctual arrival at the place of his choosing,
1:12.1	he could electrify our path like an airport runway.
1:14.8	But efficiency doesn't seem to be God's project.
1:17.3	He longs to see us submit to his instruction, his teaching, and his counsel.
1:20.7	He longs to form in human beings greater and greater capacity for trust.
1:25.3	Can somebody give me an amen?

1:39.7	practice some self-compassion. It's not about, you know, kind of, he doesn't save us to slave us. Let me put it that way. He saves us because he loves us. And he leads us like a good shepherd. We got five copies to give away of Jen's book. You can text the word book to this number, 87-933-2484. I'll give you the title again, in good time, eight habits hurry, reimagining productivity,
2:02.3	resisting hurry, practicing peace.
2:04.4	And I'm just thinking about the person listening today who you're either at mid-level burnout
2:08.9	or you're all there and you know it.
2:11.1	You're exhausted.
2:12.0	I just want to say a special prayer for you before we get John on.
