Welcome to Season 6 of the Excel Stillmore podcast. I am your host, Chris Emerson, and I am here to encourage you in your walk with the Lord, and I'm glad you've joined.

Our program continues to be sponsored by Cunningham Financial Group. John is a good friend and he's helped me and my family in everything

from stock and mutual fund investing to annuities, life insurance, and retirement planning.

I certainly commend him to you if you have needs in any of those areas. You can reach him at

205-3267364. Thank you again for your ongoing encouragement and support. Let's get started.

Hey, welcome back to ESM today. There's a little something different going on. I want to tell you about for only the third time in over 300 produced episodes, we're going to give a go at an interview format.

Back in, I think, April of 2022, I had a chance to interview Hal Elrod, who was the author of the

book The Miracle Morning, and it really shaped the program, and I enjoyed doing that,

got good feedback on that. And then late last year, Kenny Embry conducted an interview where he

and I talked about minimizing stress.

And really, I think folks got something out of that, too. I know Kenny and I did.

And so I've been looking to do it again, and it seemed just fitting to choose Jacob Hudgens.

Jacob is a friend. He's a fellow preacher. And he's the author of the book House Rules, 10 guidelines for Christian Holmes. We've been going

through that some right here on the program. I think we've done four episodes covering the first

seven of those rules. Today, I wanted to come in and conclude with the last three, and I thought,

hey, if I can get the man, the myth, the legend, on board to talk about it from his own

perspective.

I wanted to do that.

So that looks like it's coming together.

And so, Jacob, thank you for joining the program today.

Thanks so much, Chris.

I really appreciate the way that you guys have used the book.
