Why does trusting God feel so natural in some areas of life—and so difficult in others? Susie shares from her book, "More Than You Can Imagine: What God Does When You Trust Him." When you begin to see yourself as God sees you, trust becomes not only possible but powerful—even supernatural. Let's push back against the enemy's lies and reclaim our God-given identity!

Three different doctors told her she should be dead. She is still here, and still hosting live radio. For over three decades, Susie Larson fought Lyme disease and mold toxicity. It left seven areas of brain damage. She lost words on the air and forgot how to spell. At her lowest, IV bags filled the fridge where the groceries should have been. Her family had no money for food while their friends bought second homes. But something grew in the middle of all that pain. She learned how to trust God when the breakthrough was nowhere in sight. In this episode, Susie joins Linda and me to talk about her new book, More Than You Can Imagine. We dig into the real difference between faith and "name it and claim it." We talk about speaking God's Word over your money, your health, and your family. I also share the story of declaring life over our newborn son when he would not breathe. This one is about money, faith, healing, and what God actually does when you keep trusting Him. If you enjoyed this, we'd love to send you a free copy of our book. You just cover shipping.

What does it mean to truly draw near to God? Not as a method or a spiritual technique, but as a settled confidence in who he is and how he feels about you? In this Summer Reset episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle sits down with author, speaker, and renowned radio host Susie Larson for a conversation rooted in Susie's book, Closer Than Your Next Breath. Susie draws on the story of the Israelites, brain science, her own 30-year battle with chronic illness, and the transforming power of pondering God's love to make the case that the presence of God is not a feeling to chase. It is a reality to inhabit. For anyone navigating hard circumstances, carrying the weight of a complicated story, or wondering whether their prayers are reaching God's ears, this conversation is a reminder that goodness is coming, and that a settled heart will know it when it arrives. Listen in to learn more: (05:47) Will we recognize an answer to prayer when it comes? (07:13) What to do while you wait. (12:00) Susie's 30-year battle with chronic illness and what it taught her about the presence of God. (18:00) Why the presence of God isn't a feeling to chase. (25:00) How to build a redemptive narrative at the exact moment a lie is vying for position (32:00) Brain damage, limbic rewiring, and what Susie did to reroute her own neural pathways. (39:55) A 30-day challenge that will change your brain structure, your faith, and your whole physiology. (40:23) Between "big" encounters, how you can experience the love of God. (42:02) Susie's last word: What God thinks about you and why no one can change his mind.

What would happen if you stopped trying to control the outcome and truly trusted God with every area of your life? In this powerful conversation, Reagan Kramer sits down with bestselling author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson to talk about her new book, More Than You Can Imagine: What God Does When You Trust Him. Susie shares why trusting God is more than simply believing He is faithful—it is making the decision to surrender, obey, rest, and follow Him even when the path is difficult or the outcome is unclear. Susie opens up about seasons when her own trust in God was tested, including a powerful story about nearly walking away from speaking because of fear, physical challenges, and concern about what other people might think. Then God used an unexpected encounter with a bold woman to remind Susie that God is the One who called her—and He is the One who will sustain her. That moment challenged her to stop managing the outcome and start trusting God again. Reagan and Susie also explore how the enemy attacks our identity to undermine our trust, why the "little things" can sometimes be harder than the big challenges, and how we can challenge thoughts that don't line up with what Scripture says about who we are. One of the most powerful insights from the conversation is the difference between faith and trust: faith is our vision of who God is, while trust is our decision to act on that belief. Sometimes trusting God means moving forward. Sometimes it means fighting. And sometimes the greatest act of faith is simply resting and saying, "You've got this, God." Susie also shares about becoming more receptive to God's voice, encouraging others, and creating space to hear what God may want to speak into someone else's life. She emphasizes the importance of humility and testing what we believe we've heard from God rather than assuming every impression is automatically from Him. Most importantly, this episode is an invitation to ask: What part of your life are you still trying to control because you don't fully trust God? God may be asking you to surrender that area, take a step of faith, rest in Him, or simply say yes to what He's asking you to do. As Susie reminds us, God is able to do "exceedingly abundantly above and beyond" what we could ask or imagine—and the journey of trusting Him can transform every part of our lives.

What if trusting God in hard seasons could change how you face fear, pain, and uncertainty? In this episode, Susie Larson shares how to build resilient trust in God, heal from past wounds, and stop striving for control. Watch the full conversation and discover a deeper way to walk with God.I'm so excited to welcome my dear friend Susie Larson back to Visibly Fit. Susie is a bestselling author, national speaker, and the voice behind Susie Larson Live. Her new book, More Than You Can Imagine: What God Does When You Trust Him, explores what can happen when we truly give God access to our stories and choose to trust Him—even when we don't understand what He is doing.One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Susie's story about her husband, Kev, and the powerful healing encounter he experienced when he finally allowed God to reach a deep wound in his heart. His story is such a beautiful reminder that God doesn't humiliate His children—He invites us into healing, freedom, and deeper trust.We also talk honestly about the temptation to numb ourselves through distraction, pleasure, busyness, and other shortcuts instead of allowing God to meet us in our pain. Susie reminds us that we can position ourselves on the path of God's promises even when we cannot manufacture a “God encounter.”And if you're walking through a difficult season right now, I hope this conversation reminds you of something important: you can build resilient trust before the storm comes so that when the storm arrives, you know where to stand.Podcast Timestamp[00:00] Podcast preview[01:33] Topic and Guest Introduction[04:14] Susie Larson's New Book[05:10] What God Does When You Trust Him[06:22] Faith vs. Trust[07:35] When the Enemy Attacks Your Identity[08:35] Walking With God at the Pace of Grace[10:06] Discovering Your Identity in Christ[12:42] What It Looks Like to Walk in the Spirit[14:18] Walking in the Spirit vs. the Flesh[16:37] When God Uses Your Triggers to Heal[18:10] Kev's Story of Healing[23:39] Giving God Access to Your Story[25:12] Building Resilient Trust[26:30] The Epidemic of Numbing Out[29:31] Don't Settle in the Day of Crisis[30:48] Building a Spiritual Battle Box [32:27] When Trust Means Rising Up[35:20] You Can Be Powerful Even When You Don't Feel Well[[38:04] Faith-Filled Perseverance vs. Fear-Driven Striving[42:55] Get Susie Larson's New Book[44:27] How to Build Resilient Trust[45:13] Book Launch Invitation and ResourcesResources mentioned:

Do you feel like God is disappointed in you? Your mistakes, your struggles, the things you can't shake—do those change how God feels? Kyle Winkler and friends Andrew Farley, Susie Larson and Rick Manis say no, and they'll show you why and what to do when that feeling hits.
Why does trusting God feel so natural in some areas of life—and so difficult in others? Could it be that your struggle isn't just internal but part of a deeper spiritual battle over your identity?

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, "Under Pressure." We explored how pressure creates hope-filled people, and focused on Romans 5:1-5. Susie Larson joined us to talk about the hope God produces through suffering, explaining how endurance shapes character and how believers can actively fight painful memories with Scripture, gratitude, and the goodness of God. Susie is a well-known radio talk show host and podcaster of Susie Larson Live. Mike Tatlock joined us to talk about living with a compelling faith in a compromising culture, explaining how believers can hold to biblical truth without making agreements with false promises, while still responding to others with humility, compassion, and grace. Mike is the lead pastor at Grace Chapel church in Portland, Oregon, and is the author of “A Compelling Faith in a Comprising Culture.” We then opened up the phone lines to hear from our listeners. We posed the question, “What pressure did God free you from when you put your faith in God?” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
