Send us a text"Where's the beef? - Do you remember the old Wendy's commercials from the '80's? An older lady sees a tiny patty and asks where is the rest of it!? Sometimes people say that about grace, when referencing the preaching, teaching and Christianity they grew up with.But maybe that isn't a fair judgment.

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.
0:14.8	Today's podcast is sponsored by a wonderful company, Creation to Revelation. This group of Christians believe it is extremely important that we teach the Word of God to our kids.
0:27.1	They have original graphic illustrations from the beginning of the Bible to the end,
0:32.2	featuring the beautiful and consistent presence of Jesus throughout.
0:36.5	You can explore all of that at creation to revelation.com.
0:41.3	I'm so thankful you're here, so let's get started.

1:24.7	there's a massive beef patty inside. But if you go pick up a
1:28.8	Big Mac or something else, you'll be asking, where's the beef? It kind of found its way into pop
1:34.9	culture and people still say it today. And it's usually this all-purpose phrase questioning the
1:40.6	substance of something, something that's supposed to be there, that's advertised
1:45.4	to be there, but it's not, at least not in the way it should be. It is in that vein that I have
