Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

This is an encore presentation of Susie Larson Live.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live. Always 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. So here's a thought for you. When it's all said and done, most of us want to be

able to say, I put it all out on the field. I ran the race to win. I didn't hold anything back.

I understood my calling and I ran with purpose in every step. So the question is, are we doing that now? Are we sort of

hoping we're going to hit our stride some other time? Well, my guest today writes this. God is more

passionate about you completing what he's called you to do than you are. He's not going to hide his

plans from you. He desires for you to know your calling more than you want to know your calling.

The process of growing into the fullness of your calling is a journey, not a one-time event. So fight the urge

to give in to impatience. John Vivir joins me today to talk about his brand new book, X, multiply

your God-given potential. We have got three copies to give away. This book is packed with wisdom

and meaning and purpose.

If you feel like you kind of need some adrenaline in your faith journey, you've got to text

the word book to get in on the drawing. 877-933-2484. Quick announcement before we hear from

John. We are a listener-supported ministry, and I just want to pause to say thank you so much to so many

faithful, generous donors of Faith Radio. We are on the air because of God's faithfulness and yours, and we couldn't do what we do without you, and we wouldn't want to. So thank you. Let me tell you about my guest. We'll get him on the show. John Bavir is an international speaker, a best-selling author, known for his bold and uncompromising approach to God's word. That is just absolutely true.

He and his wife Lisa are the founders of Messenger International. It's a ministry committed to developing uncompromising followers of Christ to transform our world. When he's home in Colorado, you can find him playing competitive card games with this family are trying to convince his wife to take up golf.

John's known around the world, but you might know him here as Addison Bavir's dad because Addison's a regular contributor, Addison's John's son. John, so good to talk with you again. Susie, one of my favorites. We've been talking together for years and years. Yep, it's true. It's great to be on with you again. It's been too long, and I'm so grateful to talk about this new book.
