Thanks for listening to this Susie Larson Live podcast, available thanks to support from listeners like you. Welcome just won't do dance. You don't have to know how to ever since and since we've got you

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. Have you ever been in a relationship where you

feel barely tolerated, maybe constantly assessed, like they're just always assessing, summing you up,

like you have to walk on eggshells? I have. It's not fun. You're not free to be yourself or to grow into all that God

intended you to be. The sad thing is, many people think that that's how God views them.

So even though they're wrong about God's thoughts, they live as though these things are true,

and they never come to enjoy God as much as he enjoys them. And if that's you, today is a new day.

It's a perfect day to begin again.

Lisa Bavir joins me today. We're going to talk about one of her books. She's got a lot of books,

but this is one we're just, we thought it was a timely word for right now. It's titled Fiercely Loved, God's Wild Thoughts About You. I mean, have you noticed how the enemy is going after identity on such a visceral level in so many

people's lives and children's lives even? Today is a good day to remember that God makes no

mistakes and you are fiercely loved and fearfully and wonderfully made. We'll get Lisa on in a moment.

A couple of quick announcements, so we've got a few copies of this hard cover, devotional,

fiercely loved, God's wild thoughts about you, got a few copies of this one to give away.

You can text the word book to 877-933-24-84, and we've got a couple of tickets to give away

to go see the Chosen in the theaters.

And I think they're showing three episodes in a row when you go see it at the theater.

So all you got to do is text chosen to 877-933-2484. In fact, I saw a number of texts go out the other day of people whose names were drawn and now they get to go to the theater.

So we'd love to get you a couple tickets. Text chosen to 877-933-2484. All right, let me tell you about my guest.
