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

Welcome to Susie Larson Live! Welcome to Susie Larson Live.

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, that heightens your awareness

of his very real

presence in your life. I have a couple things I want to say just before we get this show rolling.

First, I just love you. I just love doing this journey with you. We have the most thoughtful,

deep, humble, wonderful listeners. I can't even express to you what an honor it is to work out our faith

journey, to work out our salvation together as we journey. So I just want to say thank you

for tuning in. Thank you for allowing me to walk this journey with you. Second, I'm asking for

some grace and some prayer in this hour because we're going to step into

some territory that we will no doubt step on a few toes. But I just want you to know I come before God

humbly and boldly asking for wisdom that I don't have. You know, if you listen often enough,

Van Bennett joins me every single month. He's the director of government affairs for the ACLJ.

We're going to get him on in just a

moment. We're going to talk about how then shall we live, you know, after the inauguration. We're going to

pray. We're going to just explore what is God saying to us as his people, but I just want to say

a word at the outset. You know, many Christians, at least conservative Christians right now,

are reeling going, what do I do now,

and feeling so uncertain about the future. And there are policies that are of concern, absolutely.

Some are asking, was this God's permissive will? Others are saying, is this God's judgment?
