Interview– Susie Berner: Be a Beacon (Plus Podcast Update)

Written By Ellen Bennett
 

Susie Berner experienced God's love and faithfulness during her father's colon cancer and later, during her own colon cancer. She admits to being shy to share her faith, but she has been faithful to do so. She even joined Cru's high school ministry staff to learn how to share the gospel better, and she has seen God change hearts. Susie is wise and authentic, and her extraordinary stories will inspire you.

Susie mentions the devotional Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman. We also mention these Bible versions: Amplified Bible, NIV (New International Version), the Living Bible, J.B. Phillips/New Testament, and The Message. She also enjoys a compilation of Bible commentaries by David Guzik, free online at https://enduringword.com/#commentary.

At the beginning of the episode, Ellen also gives a quick update in which she announces she’s a new grandma (!) and gives some highlights about upcoming interviews.
