Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Here's the podcast from Middays with Susie Larson.

Enjoy the conversation.

It's only just a matter of time You don't have to know how to

Ever since, ever since me, got you late

Welcome, welcome to Middays. I'm Susie Larson, 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 his very real presence in your life. Well, here's a raw question that I hope you can answer as honestly as possible. Do you find yourself exhausted from trying to live a good Christian life? Maybe you try to do the right thing, but then you end up doing the wrong thing. You try to say the right thing, but then while you say the wrong thing. And every step forward you take, you stumble two steps backward. Do you ever feel

like that? Well, first of all, you're not alone. But what if there's a better way to approach

this faith journey? You know, even Jesus said, come to me, all who are weary, I will give you

rest. My yoke is easy. My burden is light. Well, this conversation is for you today, and I actually think it's for every believer. We all kind of bend towards trying to earn our way, and we strive, and we fall down, and we wear ourselves out. Well, Pastor, author Vance Pittman, has written in just a beautiful book, and it's titled Unburdened, Stop Living for Jesus, so Jesus can live through you. We'll get him on in just a moment, a quick announcement. This is a live radio show. Most of you know that we are in the Upper Midwest and in Connecticut. But what many don't know who are our podcast followers is because our show, our live shows, go to podcast. And we've got a fast-growing podcast audience from around the world. We just love that. So,

friend, if you're listening by a podcast and we pitch for books because we give books away

every single day on this show, don't shy away from texting in to get in the drawing because

our producer saves some for the live show and some for our podcast audience. We're so honored

to have you listening. Be a radio missionary and share

the podcast with a friend if you find some encouragement today, and I know that you will. So this is how you do it. We've got six copies of the book, Unburdened, stop living for Jesus so Jesus can live through you. A number of advances endorsers said this book is pure gold. It's a breath of fresh air. it's a walk by stillwater's. I think every Christian needs it. We've got six copies. So text the word book to 877-933-2484. It'll kick back a link, and that's how you enter the drawing. Let me tell you about my guest. We'll get him on the show. Vance Pittman is pastor of Hope Church in Las Vegas, Nevada. the church he planted in 2001. He speaks across America

and around the world to inspire people to join in. I love this God's eternal, redemptive

mission of making disciples and multiplying the church among every tribe, tongue, people, and nation.

He lives in Las Vegas with his family, and we're honored to have him with us today. Pastor Vance,

so nice to meet you. Welcome to the program.

Susie, it is an honor to be with you today on the program. I really appreciate you having me on and looking forward to the conversation.
