Thanks for listening to this Susie Larson Live podcast available thanks to support from listeners like you. and 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 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. Well, today we're talking about the miracle of the

Messiah, the power and the importance of intentional faith, and the prophetic significance of

Jesus coming to earth. What does that mean for us today? And although we are not to guess the date, of course,

that Jesus will return, we are called to discern the time. So what time is it right now? What are

the times? And how would God have us respond? And here's a question I would love for you to answer

before we dig into the conversation. What is it about Jesus' birth or his life or his death or his

resurrection? What it is about Jesus that most or his life or his death or his resurrection? What it is about

Jesus that most stands out to you? When you think about Jesus, his birth, his life, death, and

resurrection, his presence in your life even now, what about it all? Most stands out to you. You can

text me, 877-933-24-84. I'll answer the question. One of the things that I've been thinking about so

much is his restraint, his harnessed strength. All the times he could prove himself and could

have proven himself or defended himself or destroyed his enemy. But he kept his power in check because

he was focused on mission and we were the joy set before him. Well, one of my favorites gets to join us today.

Alan Jackson joins me today.

Talk about all these things.

And we're going to draw some content from his book, Courageous Faith, daily encouragement

for life's challenges, but also from his newest book, Big Trouble Ahead, A Real Plan for

Flourishing in a Time of Fear and Deception.
