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

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

Welcome to Susie Larson Live. I'm Sissy Larson live. I'm Sizzy Larson, and 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, the deep in your understanding of God's Word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. We have one of my favorite guests today, and I can't wait to introduce him,

even though he needs no introduction. First, I want to tell you, maybe you heard me share this

before, but a while back I spoke with Max Lucato, and he said something that has not left me,

and it really sets up today's conversation well, but he, he talked about how in the prairie days folks obviously

lived simpler lives. What he said is they knew what was going on in their own home. They knew

what was going on in their local community. Once in a great while, news came in from afar,

but he said that is how they functioned. And we are not wired to receive this 24-7 barrage of

news and updates, especially when we're receiving

all these updates from such filtered perspectives, and it's taking a toll on our souls.

Well, my guest today writes this. At the end of any given day, most people come home in a state

of exhaustion, numb on our good days fried more often than we admit. The world has gone completely

mad, and it's

trying to take our souls with it. John Eldridge joins me today to talk about his book,

get your life back, everyday practices for a world gone mad, and just typical John Eldridge style.

This book is lyrical. He writes to me so lyrically and so deep enriching content and tons of practical application.

It's a hardcover book, and we've got seven copies to give away.

I'm so grateful.

If you listen often enough, you know the drill, but if you're new to the Faith Radio family,

our listenership is growing by the day.
