Summary

Send us a textHave you ever watched two me bubblers have a conversation? It is funny to watch. One talks about themself. Then the other one talks about themself.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Excel Stillmore podcast. I am your host, Chris Emerson. I'm here to encourage you in your walk with God. Thank you for joining in.
0:14.9	Today's podcast is sponsored by Cunningham Financial Group. John Cunningham is a friend of mine and a brother in Christ, and he can help you with financial
0:25.3	decisions and future planning.
0:27.6	He's been a big help to me and my family, and I commend him to you.
0:30.9	You can reach him at 205-913-1720.
0:41.3	I am so thankful you're here, so let's get started.
0:54.8	Hey, welcome once again to another Excel Stillmore episode. It really is a pleasure for me to record these thoughts and ideas and share them with you, and means a lot that you're listening in i have this feeling that today's concept will attach to everyone in at least some

1:13.1	of whether I'm putting too much attention on myself or who I need to be helping in that moment.
1:19.3	But there are certainly times. Maybe times when I'm hungry, angry, lonely, or tired,

1:42.9	making an audible sound as the bubble of self gets instantly removed
1:48.0	and a whole new world of God and others gets reintroduced. Ultimately, though, I'm not here today
1:54.6	to rebuke or criticize. I want this episode to be heavy on practical things that I have been doing to help keep that bubble from forming,
2:04.7	and I want to share with you a tremendous passage of scripture that you can use daily to help you grow.
2:12.2	If you end up wanting more information than you get today, I did preach two sermons a couple of weeks back
2:19.6	called Popping the Me Bubble. It was based in the book of Jude and established the character
2:25.9	of dangerous people who had infiltrated local churches and what was behind their focus on self
2:33.6	and why it was so dangerous.
