Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

Well, it's only just got you late. Welcome, welcome to Middays.

I'm Susie Larson, 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,

the deep in your understanding of God's Word, and that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life. Well, listen to what my guest today writes.

This is amazing. What if anything is the meaning and purpose of life? This is the questions

humans used to look to religion to answer. Now, everything is in free fall and in a free

for all. All is up for grabs. When you lose all notion of good and evil

or can no longer tell the difference between the beautiful and the ugly,

the costly and the cheap, the sublime and the ridiculous,

the real and the fake, will you have fallen under the spell of death's spiral?

In a world that bears false witness as easily as it wears a false face

or puts on a false front. The future needs those who

will bear true witness, whatever the cost. So honored to have our friend, author, scholar,

and teacher Leonard Sweet back on the show again today. Head him on, I want to say a couple months ago

to talk about his book, Rings of Fire, Walking in Faith through a Volcanic Future. Every time I

open this book, I feel like

I earn college credits. It's so brilliant and amazing, and really I feel like a prophetic word in our day.

We've got a handful of copies to get into your hands, not a book to read fast, read it slow.

It confronts all of us, and it'll challenge and inspire all of us as well, every single one of us, you know. Bible says we see in part, we see us in a glass dimly.
