Summary

Send us a textWe are all learning all the time. Spiritually, we learn when we study, when we worship, when we have discussions, or when we listen to podcasts. Does it ever feel like information overload? Maybe we think we should be learning less, since implementing it all seems so daunting. Well, there's a much better strategy than that! Learning and listening and reading stores up information in your mind you can pull from later. But how can you get all of that ...

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to the Excel Stillmore podcast.
0:09.1	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.
0:19.8	Thank you for joining. Let's get started.
0:27.0	Welcome back to the Excel Stillmore podcast. As you know, season one is winding down. After today,
0:33.9	there'll just be one more episode, and then we're taking off two months, November and
0:39.1	December, and Lord willing, we will be back January the 3rd for season 2. In the meantime, I hope
0:47.1	you keep enjoying the old episodes and you share this with your family and your friends.
0:52.1	Okay, so one of the things we're doing as we get near the end
0:55.6	is circling back to some concepts we talked about early in the year. Some of them have
1:02.4	evolved for me over the months and warrant a revisit. Today's episode is titled Just Pick One. And it's about what you do when you're getting
1:15.1	tons of information. It can be very easy to get overwhelmed when you're learning a lot. Maybe
1:22.0	you're reading a big book and it has tons of great ideas in it. But as you read it, you think, I'll never be able to do all
1:29.1	of these. I can't even remember most of them, and it can cause you to give up. Maybe you're listening
1:35.1	to a podcast like this one, and you're thinking 80 episodes, how am I ever going to remember 80
1:42.3	different things? And how would I ever be able to apply them consistently?
1:47.4	Sometimes when people feel like they're being hit with too much information and there's no possible way to keep up with it all, they just want to give up.
1:58.7	Sadly, to be honest, I wonder if this is what happens in our biblical and worship journeys.
2:05.4	Maybe you'd like to read the Bible every day, but you think, I'll never remember all that.
2:10.9	Whatever God shows me to do, I'll never be able to implement it all.
2:15.1	If I try to implement it all, it would be a disaster. So people just
2:20.1	give up on Bible reading or only read small amounts every once in a while. Maybe worship is like
2:27.0	that too. I hadn't thought about this before. There are some people who only come for Sunday
