Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.
In today’s episode I’m talking with Susie Larson, a radio host with her own daily live talk show, Live the Promise with Susie Larson, and is a national speaker and author of her tenth book, entitled Your Sacred Yes: Trading Life-Draining Obligation for Freedom, Passion, and Joy.
Susie connects weekly with thousands through her radio program and her daily faith encouragements on Facebook, and she resides in Minnesota with her husband Kevin, and their pit bull, Memphis.
In this episode Susie shares about the mud she’s faced:
- Childhood abuse by bullies
- High risk pregnancies with months of bed rest
- Her battle with Lyme disease
- Financial crisis
- And her husband’s fight through cancer
Susie discusses:
- How many of us know God but don’t feel His love in hard times
- The challenge it is when it seems God has forgotten us in our pain
- And how our suffering is a training ground for what is ahead
Susie encourages us as we learn:
- How to hear God
- How to rebuild after burnout
- How to handle jealousy and comparison
- And the differences between a sloppy yes, a shackled yes, and a sacred yes

SCRIPTURE:
Psalm 116:1-2, 5-6, 9 (ESV)I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.
Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; our God is merciful.
The Lord preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.
I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.

Oh Nell, I’m so glad it blessed you! It blessed me to get to talk with her..and you must know, when I found out Susie had walked through the mud of Lyme Disease, I thought of you and hoped you’d hear her words. Be encouraged, God is with you and He has a beautiful plan, and you are not alone..xo
