Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

Welcome to. Welcome just won't do dance You don't have to know how to Ever since and since me has got you late

Welcome to Middays, I'm Susie Larson.

Always 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. So the deep in your understanding of God's word, and that heightens your

awareness of his very real presence in your life. So here's a question for you. Has God ever broken your

heart, or at least has it felt like he broke your heart, like he allowed something that he could

have prevented? And it left you breathless. Well, to be honest, I have felt that way before. And my

guest has as well. But what we've both learned is that God is sovereign, he's good, and he's always near, he's with us, and he'll never leave us. In fact, my guest today writes this, what if God isn't absent in our struggle, but he's actually fully present in it? And what if we could collect enough evidence of his presence to bring relief to our pain and anchor our faith outside the reach of it? Michelle Cushet joins me today to talk about her thought-provoking book, and I just want you to know I endorse this book. I mean, literally, I endorsed it, but I wholeheartedly endorse it. It's powerful. It's deep. It's gut-wrenchingly raw and honest. It's titled Relentless, the Unshakable Presence of a God who Never Leaves.

If you want a book that doesn't have to be, deep. It's gut-wrenchingly raw and honest. It's titled, Relentless, the Unshakable

Presence of a God who Never Leaves. If you want a book that doesn't have pat answers or cliches, that really goes after suffering and the presence of God in the midst of it, this is a great book for you. And thanks so much to Zondervin. We've got six, six copies to give away. If you're brand new to the faith radio family first of all welcome we love you we're so glad you're here and we're really

hoping we can be a great encouragement to you. This is the process so we can give resources away every single day on middays is this. And the way that we do it, it requires a little bit of work on your part. You text the word book to 8779332484. It'll kick an auto response back to you with a link, and it takes you about a minute. You just enter the drawing that way. We have to do that every day because we literally do not have the manpower to manually enter these addresses every day through every show. Sometimes we get 100 texts in a matter of 45 minutes or an hour. So we just can't do that.

But if you're willing to join us and meet us halfway, we'll keep giving books away every single day. And this is a good one. And if you're new to the Faith Radio family or you're a veteran, I'm just asking, would you be a radio missionary? If you hear a show that blesses you and encourages you, be a radio missionary, Just share it with a friend. Post it on your

social media on your Facebook or Twitter page or whatever and just say what it meant to you

because many, many, many are waiting in the Valley of Decision who need to know Jesus and need to

know that he's right here, right here with him. All right let me tell you about my guest. We'll get her

on the show. Michelle Cushat is an international speaker for audiences, including women of faith, Life Today, TV, Compassion International, etc. She's a three-time cancer survivor and a parent of children in hard places. She's a reluctant expert on trauma, pain, and the need for authentic connection. She lives with her husband Troy and their blended family of six in Denver, Colorado. And I'm so honored to have her with us today. Hey, Michelle, so good to talk with you. Hey, there, Susie. I have been waiting for this day to spend time with you for quite some time. I'm so thankful to be here. I'm so grateful to be with you. We're just going to have our own little conversation and our friends can join in and listen in, but I just picture myself sitting across the table
