Hello and welcome to a special Thursday bonus episode of the Excel Stillmore podcast.

I am still your host, Chris Emerson, and I am still here to encourage you with tips and strategies

to help you grow in your walk with God and build stronger relationships.

Every once in a while, I'll release a shorter episode like this to help you grow in your walk with God and build stronger relationships. Every once in a while,

I'll release a shorter episode like this to give you some extra encouragement. Thank you for joining in.

Let's get started. Hey, welcome back to the second bonus Thursday episode of 2022, where I ask for just 10 minutes of your time to try to share a

principle that you can use today and heading into the weekend. I've been wanting to talk to you

about the Rabshaka for several weeks now. I tried to put it at the end of the Russian judge

episode and it wouldn't fit, and then I thought maybe it fits better at the end of the soundtrack

episode. But once again, there just wasn't time. But I think maybe this is for the best, because I can

flesh out the story here and then connect it back to what we talked about before. Before we do that,

let me tell you something I'm committed to throughout this year. I have several opportunities

if the Lord wills to do some preaching and lecturing in or near major cities. So the week before

those meetings, I'm going to drop bonus episodes and take like two minutes and tell you where I'm

going to be. If you live in that area and you would like to come and worship with us, you're more than welcome.

Or if you have friends and family nearby who might enjoy the Christian fellowship, it might be an option for them.

Next weekend, on March 4th, 5th, and 6th, I have plans to be in Brandon, Florida, preaching for the Brandon Church of Christ just east of Tampa. It will be my first time

to be with that church, and I'm really excited about it. On Friday night, March the 4th, and Saturday

night March the 5th at 7 p.m. We will focus heavily on self-evaluation, surrendering ourselves

completely to God so that God can prepare us to carry out his good work.

And then if the Lord blesses us, we will meet at 9.30 and 1030 Sunday morning,

and also at 5 p.m. to bring together three chapters from the ministry of Jesus to help us
