Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

It's only just a matter around.

It's only just a matter around.

It's like a matter of time.

So the back row is you glide because walking just won't do dance.

You don't have to know how to ever since and since we've got you late.

Welcome to Middays, I'm Susie Larson.

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've got a powerful show plan for you today. I'm so excited about it. Listen to what my guest writes. He says this. If you've ever wondered, if God cares about the difficult and painful places you found yourself in during some of the hardest times of your life, well, the answer is a resounding yes. He cares more than you know. He not only

sees, but he's also passionately on your side to bring you through the battles and into the wide

open places of victory and peace. That just makes my heartbeat faster. I'm so excited about today's

conversation. Author and Pastor Lee Cummings joins me today to talk about his new book, Flourish,

planting your life where God designed to thrive. I want you to hear that again, Flourish, planting your life where God designed it to thrive. We've got six copies to give away. I'm thrilled about that. You know the drill if you listen often enough, but if you're brand new to the Faith Radio family, here's the drill. You text the word book to 877-933-2484. It'll kick back a link and then you enter the drawing that way. It just takes you a moment, but it saves us all kinds of time because we give lots of resources away every single day. And that's the only way we can do it. It's a little bit of your help. So text the word book to 877-933-2484. Quick announcement before we hear from Pastor Lee. Would you believe that churches and ministries all over are seeing an increase in spiritual hunger because of this coronavirus? You know what?

This is no time to shrink back. It is a time to rise up because we know and we believe Jesus is the

hope of the earth. So we're not shrinking back at Faith Radio. And yet we do want to be sensitive to the times. And this is the week that we originally scheduled for our spring share fundraiser. But we just felt led to postpone to extend that date out to May. And what amazes me is that gifts continue to come in every day. And I just want to say thank you because we are a listener supported ministry. We can't do this without you. I'll just say this. If you're in any position to give a gift of any size, even a pledge, you've got 12 months to fulfill it. We're going to send you a faith strong bracelet as our way of saying, thank you for standing with us as we broadcast the gospel to the ends of the earth during what we are seeing as a global crisis. Jesus is still on his throne. Just want to say

thank you. God bless you. Well, however this coronavirus has affected you, wherever this broadcast

finds you, know this, God has something for you here. He wants you to flourish. He wants you to thrive.
