Monday, May 21 – Jennie Allen – Anything – What if you told God you would do anything . . . and he took you up on it? Today Susie is joined by author and Bible teacher Jennie Allen to talk about her new book, Anything: The Prayer That Unlocked My God and My Soul. They explore the questions we face in handing our lives over to a living, unpredictable, invisible God. We talk about the enemies of surrender, including unbelief, entitlement, control, and fear. With a fresh voice and bold vulnerability, Jennie helps shatter our small view of God as she shares her own story of wrestling to surrender.
Tuesday, May 22 – Renee Swope – A Confident Heart – Often the biggest obstacle to living out our faith is our own doubt--about our own worth, our abilities, our relationship with God, and the situations in our lives. Today Susie and fellow author and speaker Renee Swope talking about living in the freedom Christ has provided. Renee’s book is A Confident Heart.
Wednesday, May 23 – Chonda Pierce – Live and Laugh in Faith – ‘Laughter is the best medicine,’ we’re told. Today Susie talks with comedienne Chonda Pierce about balancing deep devotion to God with the importance of laughter! We’ll also talk about her new DVD, Kind of a Big Deal.
Thursday, May 24 – Bill Arnold and George (In Studio) – Real Recovery – God can heal you from your addictions! Today Susie is joined in studio by Bill Arnold and George Fraser to talk about their new Faith Radio show, Real Recovery. We’ll hear stories of redemption and restoration from men and women who have struggled with drug and alcohol abuse and found peace and healing through Christ.
Friday, May 25 – Emily Freeman (Recorded) – Grace for the Good Girl – Many of us believe that we are saved by grace–but for too many, that’s the last time grace defines our life. Instead of clinging to grace, we strive for good and believe that the Christian life means hard work and a sweet disposition. As good girls, we focus on the things we can handle, our disciplined lives, and our unshakable good moods. When we fail to measure up to our own impossible standards, we hide behind our good girl masks, determined to keep our weakness a secret. Today Susie and author Emily Freeman invite women to let go of the try-hard life and realize that in Christ we are free to receive from him, rather than constantly try to achieve for him. Emily’s book is Grace For the Good Girl.
Saturday, May 26 – Mark and Grace Driscoll – Real Marriage – Many singles view marriage as their “happily ever after” and a functional savior. But in reality, the union of two sinners is meant to sanctify them, not save them. How can two people prepare for, and enjoy, the blessings and challenges of marriage? Today Susie talks with Pastor Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church and his wife Grace, who together have written the new book Real Marriage. We explore issues of trust, biblical manhood and womanhood, forgiveness, and loving your spouse in light of the cross.
