0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the Excel Stillmore podcast. |
0:09.2 | I am your host, Chris Emerson, and we are here to talk about tips and strategies that you can employ to deepen your faith, improve your relationships, and just get the most out of your life. |
0:19.9 | Thank you for joining. Let's get started. |
0:26.6 | Okay, so today I just have one basic idea to talk to you about. Be an encourager. There's no code |
0:34.6 | language today or imagery. We're not talking about chess boards or frog eating. I just want to give it to you straight. I think it is an enormous difference maker every day when you set out to be an encourager. We already know that's what Christians are supposed to be. You know that Jesus said in Matthew 5, that we are the light of the |

1:45.3 | he said each day has enough trouble of its own, we just have to set out in daytight intervals |
1:51.0 | and say, today I will be an encourager. Today I will be the person in the room that expresses |
2:00.0 | the presence of God and helps other people feel better. |
2:04.9 | Helps other people see their blessings. |
2:07.5 | We need more encouragers. |
2:09.6 | And for some of us, it's not that we don't want to encourage. |
