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

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,

the deep in your understanding of God's word, and that heightens

your awareness of its very real presence in your life. Well, you may know this because you've been,

if you've been listening to this show, but the word advent, it means arrival of an event or person.

For us, it's both. Jesus, the king of the universe, came to earth. The most amazing event in

human history, at least to date.

But he's coming again, and not as a baby, but as a king.

Today we're going to look at the Advent story with new eyes and a fresh perspective.

Bestselling authors and speakers Lisa Harper and Levi Luscoe join me today to talk about the wonder of Christmas, the power of the gospel, the nearness of God.

And they happen to be on tour together right now for the Recapture the Wonder Advent Tour.

So we are looking forward to a great conversation. Quick announcement before we hear from them.

If this holiday season feels especially difficult for you, we'd love to send you some

encouragement. All you got to do is text the word hope to the number

that you hear every day, multiple times a day, 877-933-24-84. And you'll receive some encouraging

audio texts a few a week. So you'll just get a text. It'll be an audio just to encourage you,

help you look up. Hopefully it'll infuse you with some hope and perspective. So again,

if you need some words of

encouragement, just showing up on your phone, text the word hope. 877-933-24-84. Now let me tell

about my guests. We'll get them on the show. Lisa Harper is an engaging, hilarious communicator,

as well as an authentic and substantive Bible teacher that many enjoy hearing in person
