Summary

Send us a textToday is wedding day for some great friends of ours: Beau Barnes and Hannah Holt. I have been asked to officiate and I'm up here at the building practicing! Right in the middle I thought - Hey I want to share this with all my friends! So, here's my wedding sermon. First and foremost, we need much more optimism!

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.
0:51.2	Hey, welcome back. I hope that your day is going well. Mine certainly is. It's Saturday,
0:55.2	October 22nd, just two days before the episode releases.
1:05.0	It is a beautiful fall day here in Lindale, and I'm up at the church building practicing the wedding sermon, or at least today's wedding sermon.
1:11.8	In a couple of hours, I'll be heading one town over to officiate the union of two people that we know and love.
1:21.9	Bo Barnes, who lives up in the Little Rock area, and Hannah Holt, who with her family, David and Wendy and Jaden, are very special to us here in Lendale.
1:26.7	So we're excited about all of that, and I'm just up here practicing what I'm going to say.

1:39.7	in my back pocket with the vows and pull it out at the right time. You know, you kind of have to get
1:44.7	all of that correct. But what all that means for me is practice. I come up here and I just say some
1:51.0	things out loud, which is kind of an important preacher tip in general, maybe. Before you make
1:56.9	other people hear it out loud, it's probably a good idea if you do that first. So I was
2:02.0	working through the things that I wanted to say and I thought, you know what, I'd like to tell
2:06.3	everybody about this. I thought you might enjoy hearing some basic ideas that can set this
2:12.0	young couple headed in the right direction and have really been some secrets that have benefited
2:17.0	summer in me for almost
