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

Welcome, welcome to

susie 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 that deep in your

understanding of god's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real

presence in your life. Well, if you listen often enough, you know, we talk a lot on this show about

transformation, about restoration, about inner healing. And you've heard me say it many times

that God doesn't save us to slave us. You know what? He saves us because he loves us. And he's made

each of us so unique, yet in his image, that our process is

going to be as unique as we are. And you know, nobody preaches the gospel like the one who's been

truly redeemed from pain and heartbreak and brokenness that once marked their lives. Well, we have

one such story today. My guest writes this. No matter how successful we become, when the lights go off, we are forced to live

with ourselves. My soul was deeply disturbed. I slowly began to realize that I was facing something

I had failed to address with the right amount of fervor. I was dealing with trauma. Such an important

show today, Lecrae joins me to talk about his new book. I am restored,

how I lost my religion, but found my faith. Quick announcement before we get him on, if you've had a dream to publish your own book to write, we want to join you, ask you to join us for our upcoming Northwestern Christian Writers Conference.
