Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thank you for listening to Susie Larson Live. Faith Radio podcasts are only possible because of your support. So thanks back row is you glide.

Because walking just won't do dance.

You don't have to know how to ever since.

And since me's got you left.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live.

Always 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

amazing word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. Well,

while back, we had Dr. Sondra Dalton Smith on the show, and she said, there are different kinds of

tired. This was such a

great and profound insight. She said, you know, you might be emotionally tired or socially tired,

mentally tired, or physically tired, or even digitally tired. So which tired are you? Because you got to

discern the kind of tired that you are so that you can understand how to get the rest that you need. Sometimes the rest

you need is exercise. Sometimes it's solitude. Sometimes it's quiet. Sometimes it's a table full of people.

But make no mistake about it. You need to quiet your heart and hear from the Lord and discern what kind of

tired you are and what kind of rest you need. I think that's a great framework for

today's conversation. My friend, an award-winning novelist, and she's written Bible studies as well,

Tessa Afshar joins me today. We try to get her on every once in a while. We're drawing from her book.

We did so last month as well. The Rested Soul, 30 meditations to quiet your heart.

She's a brilliant writer, has profound biblical insights, and we've got five copies to give away.

She's got photography and this devotional prayers, places to linger, great biblical teaching.
