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. 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, we've talked a lot on this show about the importance of spiritual practices and disciplines

guest. We'll get him on the show. Matt Chandler's a husband, father, pastor, elder, and author whose

greatest desire is to make much of Jesus. He has served over 20 years as lead pastor at the

Village Church in Flower Mountain, Texas, which recently transitioned its five campuses into their own

autonomous churches. I want to ask you about that someday later, pastor. He's also executive
