Have you ever begged God for something only to fall into deep disillusionment when He fails to come through for you? Maybe you have been begging God for healing over sickness… Maybe you have been waiting for a miracle that hasn’t happened in your relationships yet… Maybe you have asked God for help financially and you are BROKE… We all have felt disappointment when coming to God with stuff but what is the real reason why our suffering is happening and is God allowing all this bad stuff to happen? Today I went to an amazing friend for his thoughts on this. Wes Pickering is the online pastor t my church and one of the more trusted voices of faith in my life. I love that Wes doesn’t avoid the tough stuff. I also love that Wes walks what he talks. He was in the thick of our battle during our month at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital 2 years ago with Sohaila. And today I think he is going to give you words that finally make you go… AHHHAAAAAA!!!!!! So enjoy this conversation with my dear friend Wes and make sure you follow him for an infusion of faith in your life… @wespickering Preorder How To Human here! http://www.how2humanbook.com Thanks to our sponsor… BetterHelp - https://bit.ly/HHBetterHelp Learn more about your ad choices.

I thought I was going to be off social media for 3 weeks... Then it turned into 4 weeks... Now it's past 5 weeks... Why am I taking so long to come back? What am I learning? Will I come back? Today is a very, and I mean very, Carlosish episode of rabbit trails and deep thoughts that lead to shallow thoughts that trail back to ridiculous thoughts that I hope you will find somewhat insightful and helpful as you navigate a world that demands we share everything about everything... Maybe, just maybe we can do it better... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I’m so glad I stopped by the piano bar in the Atlanta airport that day and saw your infectious grin. I was exhausted from 3 days of airplanes and hotels and you looked happier than humanly possible. Nobody was paying attention and they had no idea they were missing the concert of their lifetime. All I wanted to do was let you see me…see you… But as fate would have it that 30-minute conversation would change more than my life… but the lives of so many others… You were and will always be the Instafamilia Godfather… The media thought we changed your life… Little did they know it was the other way around… As I told you on the phone this morning as I said goodbye... Enjoy playing hymns for The Almighty @toneepianoman … We will miss you ferociously and wait in anticipation of seeing you again on the other side of the veil… Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a first… I normally like to keep Podcast Carlos and Preacher Carlos on different planets… But today they meet each other and can I tell you… I’M EXCITED FOR YOU! Why? Because I invited preacher Carlos on here to deliver to you a message soon how to leave a mild faith and actually believe the crazy stuff we have been saying we believe for a long time. I used to think 60% living was good enough… Nope. Not anymore. Life to the full means getting to 100% and I think I can help you get there today… Thanks to our sponsors… https://bit.ly/HHButcherBox https://bit.ly/HHGiveDirectly https://bit.ly/HHAthleticGreens Learn more about your ad choices.

It's not gonna be easy... But it's gonna be worth it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
