0:00.0	Hello and welcome to a special Thursday bonus episode of the Excel Stillmore podcast.
0:11.7	I am still your host, Chris Emerson, and I am still here to encourage you with tips and strategies
0:17.1	to help you grow in your walk with God and build stronger relationships.
0:22.2	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,
0:27.6	I'll release a shorter episode like this to give you some extra encouragement. Thank you for joining in.
0:35.6	Let's get started. Hey, welcome back for another Thursday bonus shorter episode. There will probably only be two more of these this year, including this one.
0:38.7	I always put them out the week before I head somewhere to go do some preaching, just in case you
0:43.3	or someone you know lives in the area. Maybe you'd like to come and visit so we can worship together.
0:48.4	And the rest of the 2022 schedule is this coming weekend in Aurora, Illinois, just west of Chicago, and then if the
0:56.5	good Lord blesses us, I'll be with some brethren in San Antonio in a couple of weeks. With each
1:01.8	and every one of these throughout the year, I also share with you the lyrics of a Christian music
1:06.5	song that I think might be helpful to you. So we will do that in this episode as well as in a
1:11.8	couple of weeks. And today's song, let me just tell you, it's going to come right at you.
1:16.5	It's a song written by casting crowns called Start Right Here. It coordinates very well with the
1:23.7	meeting this weekend and really the theme for the entire year, because these lyrics
1:28.0	will confront you directly and challenge you to embark upon missions of mercy, which God
1:35.0	has already placed right in front of you that you can engage in right here and right now.
1:42.1	It challenges us to overcome two common mistakes among God's people.
1:47.5	One is week-to-week worship being purely for the purpose of consuming, and two, expecting that all of our
1:55.8	outreach productivity is institutionalized, as in we put a check in the plate and it gets carried out
2:02.9	somewhere out of our site. While both of those things are partially true, we do consume at worship,
2:08.7	and our check in the plate does help Christians out of our site. There is so much more that is
