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 Live.

Welcome to Sissy Larson Live. I'm Sissy Larson, and always honored to get to spend this time with you.

In fact, I look forward to bringing new 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.

I got a few questions for you, though.

Is your life ruled by checklists, perpetual obligations? In fact, do you define a godly life by the

number of boxes you check each day? And then do you berate yourself on your less productive days or the days

you miss the mark? Did you know that this kind of continual striving actually makes

you weaker, not stronger? But I've got some great news for you. God designed the abundant,

victorious life to happen far more effortlessly than you ever imagined. He wants you to discover the

keys to lasting peace, joy, and healing. He's for you. He's on your side. He doesn't grind

your gears to the point of exhaustion. As I tell young people that I mentor all the time, he doesn't

save you to slave you. He saves you because he loves you. And he draws you near because he wants

you healed and whole and restored. And then he wants to move in and through you to touch a world in need. And he wants you to know him

as he is, not as you think he is or not even as he seems. Well, Kyle Winkler is my friend today.

He joins me to talk about his new book, permission to be imperfect, how to strive less,

stress less, and sin less. We got a good handful of copies to give away today. If you're tired

of striving,

if you want theology around abiding, text the word book to get in on the drawing. 877-933-24-84. If you're

tired of striving and want some theology around the abiding life, text the word book to 877-933-24-84.

This is what Kyle writes.
