0:00.0	Hi, I'm Susie Larson.
0:01.0	Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.
0:03.9	It's only just a matter of it's like.
0:07.0	Welcome to Susie larsson
0:24.6	live always honored to get to spend this time with you in fact i look forward to bringing you
0:28.7	conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk that deep in your
0:33.9	understanding of god's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. And today's conversation is an important one. If you listen often enough,
0:42.0	you know how I have my friend Than Bennett on the show once a month to bring us a faith perspective
0:46.2	from the Hill. He's right in the mix of things in Washington, D.C. And he's a dear brother. I love

1:38.4	faith-filled heart, knowing that, you know, more rests on God's shoulders than on ours.
1:42.3	Given that, I'm going to ask if we could have some
1:45.3	engagement with you without vitriolic ranting. But what is the greatest burden of your heart
1:52.0	today as you look around in culture? What's stressing you out the most? What is just giving you the
1:56.8	greatest cause for concern? I'll read some of those texts and I'll ask a fan to address them.
