Thanks for listening to this Susie Larson Live podcast available thanks to support from listeners like you.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live. Always so honored to get to spend this time with you.

I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you

in your faith walk and the deep in your understanding of God's word and that heightens your

awareness of his very real presence in your life. Well's word and that heightens your awareness of his

very real presence in your life. Well, my guest today says this. He says, you know, the world is a

mess right now. In fact, it's always been and it always will be. Well, let's shake off the temptation

to walk away and the temptation to adopt a conquest mentality. Our God made a remedy for this mess,

and he vested that remedy inside you and me.

We are made for the mess.

Every month we have our friend Than Bennett on this show for what we call a faith perspective

from the hill.

Well, Than stepped away from his role on the hill and now serves in the kingdom in a completely

different capacity.

And some of you already know about that change that he and his wife, Brooke, have made. And I'm still going to ask him for an update in case you haven't heard.

But going forward, we're going to talk a little bit about what's happening in the news, but we're

going to look at it even more so from a redemptive lens. We're going to look for the true,

the beautiful. We're going to ask the questions as God's people. What are we to know? What are we to do? How are we to pray?

What can we physically do to help our communities flourish? I love those questions.

We'll get that on in just a moment, but we would love to know how we can pray for you.

We pray for you by name. Never hesitate to let us know if you are in a tough season because we have a staff meeting every Tuesday

and we pray for you. So let us know, all right? Let me tell you about my guest. We'll get him on the show.
