Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live, 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, that deepen your understanding of God's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life.
