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. new dance you don't have to know how to ever since him of sense we've got you left so here's a larsen 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 deep in your

understanding of god's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. So here's a loaded question for you. How are we as Christians supposed to

live in the days in which we find ourselves? I mean, what does faith look like? What does love

look like? And how about courage? Well, my guest today says this, that we live in a time when our

culture is becoming increasingly shallow, coarse, and empty.

Radical shifts in the areas of sexuality, ethics, technology, secular ideologies, and religion have caused the once familiar landscape of a generation ago to be virtually unrecognizable.

And it's in such times of compromise and disillusionment that God calls us, as he says,

to renew our culture, to restore our credibility,

and to replace compromise with conviction. I'm so excited about this interview today. John Tyson

joins me to talk about his incredible book. I love this book. It's titled Beautiful Resistance,

The Joy of Conviction and a Culture of Compromise. Let me tell you about them. We'll get him on the show.

John Tyson is a pastor and church planter in New York City, originally Let me tell you about them. We'll get him on the show. John Tyson is a pastor and

church planter in New York City. Originally from Adelaide, Australia, he moved to the U.S. more than two decades ago with a passion to seek and cultivate renewal in the Western Church. And for that, I am so grateful. He's the author of Sacred Roots, a creative minority, the burden is light, and the one we're talking about today. Beautiful resistance, the joy of conviction in a culture of compromise. We've got a handful of copies to give away today. You will love this book. I want every person to read this book. Text the word book to 877-933-2484. Let me correct myself. I have three copies to give away. I just texted his publicist and said, pretty pleased, pretty please, can I have more? I'll let you know what he says.

But John, great to talk with you again. Well, thank you so much for having me on the show. It is always a joy to be with you. Thank you, John. And we love to start everyday talking scripture. And I'm wondering if there's a verse you've been hanging around these days or pondering that you can share with us. Yeah, my heart has been caught up in Colossians chapter three,

particularly the first parts where we are called to set our hearts and minds on things above

where Christ has seated at the right hands of God. And so often as we look around the world,

it just seems like things are getting worse and worse.

There's so much chaos.
