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

It's only just a matter of it. 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.

Well, we're talking today about one of my favorite topics and it's prayer.

My guest today writes this, prayer isn't a place for us to be good or right.

It isn't a place for us to perform or to prove our worth.

It is a place for us to be honest, present, and known.

A place for us to offer ourselves and present, and known, a place for us to offer ourselves

and receive God. Isn't that beautiful? Spiritual Formation expert Kyle Strobel joins me today to talk

about a book that he co-authored with John Coe, and it's titled This, Where Prayer Becomes

Real, How Honesty with God Transforms Your Soul. This book to me is one holy invitation to experience God

as you are and walk with him so that he transforms you from the inside out. We've got a handful of

copies to give away today. You can text the word book to 877-933-2484. And as I often say,

you texting me back is kind of a little bit of my love language.

So I've got a question for you. I'd love for you to engage with me on this. How would you describe

your prayer life? And be honest, is it a drudgery? Is it a delight? Is it a duty? Something on your

task list? Is it just the best part of your day? No right or wrong answers. Just want some honest

answers so we can dialogue about it. You can text that same number 877-933-2484. Quick

announcement. At Faith Radio, we love giving stuff away. And so two copies every week with this is

what we're doing, giving away Dr. Charles Stanley's New Devo, Jesus Our Perfect Hope.
