0:00.0 | 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. |
0:14.4 | 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 |
0:21.9 | from stock and mutual fund investing to annuities, life insurance, and retirement planning. |
0:28.2 | I certainly commend him to you if you have needs in any of those areas. You can reach him at |
0:33.3 | 205-326736-3-64. Thank you again for your ongoing encouragement and support. Let's get started. |

1:45.0 | from the Wilson Adams articles. We got a glimpse into the mind of faithful, committed believers |
1:51.5 | in our local churches who are in that age range of maybe 15 to 45. They have questions. They have |
