Thanks for listening to this Susie Larson Live podcast available thanks to support from listeners like you.

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

Welcome to Susie Larson Live.

Always, always 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, that deepen your understanding of God's word,

and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. I'm not sure if you've noticed, but I've been gone this past week. We pre-recorded most of last week's shows because I had back-to-back-to-back speaking events, so I was on the road, and I'm so grateful to be back live. I got to tell you, God is on the move, and we saw him do just amazing, miraculous things. But I would say, when I'm away, I miss you in a significant

way. So it's really great to be back live with you today. We've got an important show up for you

today, and I really believe by the time the hour is over, you're going to feel encouraged,

inspired, and just

determined to lay hold of the promises of God over your life. And before we get my guest on today,

though, I want to just take a moment to just say a word about Israel. Our hearts are grieving.

We're praying, interceding like crazy. And I'm just trusting that you are as well.

And if you remember, we have Tom and Joanne Doyle on as often as we can get them to get a faith perspective on the Middle East. And they've

said many times that there are also Palestinian Christians who grieve over the actions of Hamas over

and over again. They feel like they're at the mercy of Hamas, but they know they're in the mercies of

God. And so remember those Palestinian Christians as well. The whole thing is just so unbelievable. And I want to pray, but actually I want to bring my guest on. This is sort of a different order that I do things. I'll give him an official introduction in a moment, but I'll tell you, Pastor Aaron Burke joins me today to talk about his new book,

The Unfair Advantage, Seven Keys from the Life of Joseph for transforming any obstacle into an opportunity.

Let's get him on right away, and then I'll give you a proper introduction, Aaron, after we pray together.

But first of all, welcome to the show. It's such a pleasure to meet you.

You know, it is such an honor to be with you and grieving with

you and with millions and millions of Christians all over the world of what's going on in the

Middle East and prayer changes things so I think we can pray and see God do something miraculous
