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.
0:14.3	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.
0:44.3	Hey, welcome back for the second part of a short series on the John Mark Comer book, Practicing the Way.
0:50.8	Today, our focus will be in the back half of that book, which is effectively
0:54.7	addressing the crucial question, how? How do I achieve greater, more fuller spiritual formation?
1:03.7	And that is the main impetus of this book. It's not financial freedom or weight loss,

1:46.9	The idea of vision is this compelling visual of who you can become, this picture of better,
1:54.8	this possibility in your future that you can see in your mind's eye. You can be excited about, you can begin to believe in,
2:03.4	and you can emotionally attach yourself to. I feel like I've talked about this on and off for all
2:08.7	six years. A lot of people, most people want to get better, but very few people can tell you
2:14.9	what better looks like or how dominantly that vision is driving their
2:19.9	life. In some areas that's easier to do like fitness and health, if I ask you to create sort of this
