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 Susie 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. Well, I travel a lot

for speaking events. And I got to tell you, as soon as that plane takes off and we're way up in the air,

that's when I exhale. That's when I look out the window. I whisper prayer. I just look at the sky,

the sun, the clouds. I marvel at God's majesty. And I just notice that all the stresses and the trials that I left behind seem to get smaller as my view of God grows bigger. I always love it. I mean, I don't love hauling my luggage. I don't love all that other stuff. My sleep getting disrupted when I travel. But I love that time in the plane. It's sometimes some of my most sacred prayer time is I just ponder what it means

to get a grander look at God's creation. Well, my guest, they use us that same analogy in his book,

Fly Through the Bible. And he helped us get a big picture of landscape of God's story.

I'm so glad to welcome back to the show, author, pastor, faith radio programmer Colin Smith,

and he's got a book titled Fly Through the Bible.

It's a brief introduction.

It's a flyover of scripture.

So if you feel intimidated by the Bible, oh, my goodness, this is a good place to start.

And I do want to mention to you, for those who are locally listening in the Twin Cities

or maybe in one of our other networks, pastor is traveling around on tour to do a fly through the Bible event in several different cities. You can find all that information at OpenThebiblical.org. For those listening in the Twin Cities, he's coming October 21st, but he'll also be in St. Louis. He'll be in Des Moines, Zionsville, and a few other places where we have markets. So check out his website, opentheb Bible.org, and see if you can get to one of his events. We'll get him on in just a moment. I got a quick announcement for you. Scripture says that the prayer of the righteous accomplishes great and powerful things. You know, I believe that with all my heart. I am a praying person. And what I love about

being part of the faith radio team is we are a praying team. We sit down and we pray for our listeners

by name. And if you've got a prayer request, we would love to pray for you. Several ways you can get

us that information. You can go to faith radio, sorry, myfaithradio.com. Right on our homepage, there's a link there to share your prayer request.
