Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

This is an encore presentation of Middays with Susie Larson.

Right. Welcome just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since, ever since we've got you late.

Welcome to Middays. I'm Susie Larson, 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, the deep in your understanding of God's Word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life.

connected to how well you steward your spring season. So what season are you? And I would love for you to know.

and he's written a brilliant book. This book is actually 10 years old, but I believe it's going to be a

classic one day. And I want to say thanks to his amazing publisher, Zondervin, because we've got

six copies of this hardcover book. It's an $18 book. We have six copies. So some are going to our live show listeners

and some are going to have a very fast-growing podcast audience as well. So some of you podcast listeners

are also going to be winning a book. So you can get in the drawing this way. Just text the word book

to 877-933-2484. This book to me is so brilliantly written, so deeply insightful. And I just know that after

today's show, you're going to have just a better discernment on the season you're in, but what's
