Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Susie Larson Live.

Enjoy the conversation.

You're listening to an encore presentation of Susie Larson Larson.

Welcome to Susie larsen 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 deep in your understanding of god's word and that heightens your awareness

of his very real presence in your life. I don't know what kind of year it's been for you,

but God knows. He sees you. He loves you. And he knows what you need to be revived and refreshed

and restored. Well, for me, it's been a really intense year in both good ways and some really, really

hard ways. And most of you know all about that, don't you? But, you know, I'm more aware now,

I just can tell you this, that I'm more aware and assured of God's goodness than I ever have been

in my whole entire life. I'm more aware and assured of his promise to fulfill his promises

than I've ever been before.

Jesus is more than a Savior. You know, he's the best friend you'll ever have. He's more

powerful than cancer and rejection and divorce. He's more powerful than fear and sorrow and

anxiety. He's your prince of peace. So no matter what you're walking through today, Jesus is greater

still. So today, we're going to take a deeper look at the names of Jesus. Every year about this time, we invite our friend Asherita Choochoo back on the show to explore the content of her beautiful Advent book unwrapping the names of Jesus. Now, I need to tell you, our text line is down. I'm so frustrated with that. We're working hard behind the scenes. But the reason I love

having our text line open is it connects me with you. And I get to hear from you and see what you're saying about your life right now, but I don't have that access to you right now. But I want you to know, we still do have giveaways of Asherita's beautiful devotional. Again, it's titled Unwrapping the names of Jesus in Advent devotional. So here's how to enter the drawing. We're just doing it

manually, like in the olden days, all right? You're going to send Angela, my producer, an email, Angela at myfaithradio.com, and Angie will send you the link to enter the drawing. This is a beautiful book. You'll want to tuck it away for next year since we're on the home stretch of the holiday season. Angela at my faith radio.com. Quick announcement before we

hear from Asherita. You know, some Christians believe that celebrating Christmas is a pagan

practice and some just count the days till it's over. But I want to tell you I see it differently.
