The speed and pace at which many of us live and lead is exhausting. When we are constantly in a hurried state, how do we hear from God?
On today's episode, Alan sits down with Carlos Whittaker for a great conversation about Carlos's new book Enter Wild and how to have a very vibrant life with God.
About Carlos
Carlos Whittaker is a People's Choice Award winner, a former recording artist signed to a major label, a social media maven, and currently spends the majority of his time writing books and speaking on stages around the world. It really began when the Whittaker's found their family in America's spotlight with appearances on shows like CBS Early Morning, The Today Show, and more when their viral video "Single Ladies Devastation" went viral. But for Carlos, his wife Heather, and their three children, this viral moment was just a snapshot of the bigger picture.
Currently reigning at nearly 7 million views, it's hard to believe that the overnight success of Carlos' son's "Single Ladies Devastation" on YouTube was a complete accident.
"I remember putting the video on YouTube that night and not thinking much about it," recalls Carlos. "The next morning my phone was blowing up with calls from all these national outlets asking me if I was the horrible father in the YouTube video."
But That Was Just The Spark
"Our family has experienced our share of moments both big and small. What we've learned is that every single one has played a pinnacle part in our lives. Each moment has built on to the next one and when we take a step back we see this incredible canvas that has been woven together."
The release of "Moment Maker" marked Carlos' debut as an author, but his current book "Kill The Spider" has taken Carlos' tribe into the deeper parts of their souls. In his newest book Carlos helps people identify, locate, corner, and kill the spiders that are plaguing their lives. "My dad once told me that I must stop cleaning to cobwebs in my life and kill the spider", Carlos recalls. "This was a massive shift in my soul that began my journey towards being truly centered in my life."
As an adult, Carlos and his wife Heather moved from California back to Atlanta where he joined the team at Andy Stanley's Buckhead Church. There, Carlos continued to apply 'moment making' into his everyday life, blogging about his experiences and recruiting his family and friends along the way. In 2009 Carlos signed a recording deal with Integrity Music and moved his family to Nashville TN. It was in Nashville where Carlos decided to make the shift from writing music to writing books. And from singing on stages to speaking on stages.
Currently, Carlos is regularly teaching at churches and conferences worldwide. Including Catalyst Conference, Embrace Church, FreshLife Church, and many more.

About Myron
Hey there! I’m Myron Pierce, a follower of Jesus, husband, father, pastor, church planter, author, and entrepreneur. At the age of 18, I was facing a life sentence in prison for my life of gang banging, drugs, and crime. I surrendered my life to the Lord Jesus and while leaving the courtroom I heard God whisper, “I’m going to get you out of prison to plant churches.” Through a series of miracles, the prison doors opened for me after eight years. The call of Mission Church (where I pastor) is to unleash unprecedented hope in every inner city around the world. I’m currently attending Crown College to obtain my Master’s of Arts in Global Leadership. My wife (Kristin) and I live in the heart of North Omaha with our three sons and daughter.
