Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Susie Larson Live.

Enjoy the conversation.

You're listening to an encore presentation of Susie Larson Lime.

Welcome to Sizzy 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, that deepen your understanding of God's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. So I've got a question for you, and I'd love for you to answer it. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your joy level? On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your joy level? Can you text me? Just your number. If you want to expound and say why, I'd love to know that as well,

but a number will suffice. 877-9-484-8-7-9-34. Text me your number. You know, the joy that Jesus

offers presses through the hard stuff in life until we find the good that we have in God. And what we have in God is just plentiful, plentiful goodness because he's so faithful. Well, I'm so excited to be talking with my friend Brent Hanson today. The title of his book, Rocks. I wish so bad I would have thought of it. Life is hard. God is good. Let's dance. Is that amazing? Subtitle, experiencing real joy in a world God mad.

And I'm so grateful to Thomas Nelson. We've got eight copies, or seven copies, excuse me, seven copies to give away today.

You can text the word book to 877-933-2484. Now, quick announcement. We've been talking a lot about my devotional waking up to the

goodness of God, and I recorded 15 audio clips that you can have on your phone texted to you,

short clips on renewing your mind and just resetting your gaze on the goodness of God.

So if you need a little help with encouragement, with remembering that God is good, you can text the word good to the same number, 877-933-2484.

So same number, you just have different assignments, all right?

Now let me tell you about my guest.

We'll get him on the show.
