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.

This one is LIFE CHANGING YA'LL!!! No hype. Everything can change if you put what Tim teaches us into action. I've watched Tim work alongside my friend Don Miller for the last decade. I've watched him be the #2 at that company. And I've watched him redefine what it means to be successful... To be successful, we think we have to step into the spotlight or climb the ladder.  "The Secret Society of Success" introduces a new way to define success that’s counter to what culture is selling. And when you learn to live in this new way, you’ll start to enjoy your work and life again. Pick up a copy of The Secret Society Of Success wherever you buy books... https://www.harpercollinschristian.com/9781400229420/the-secret-society-of-success/ Also thanks to our sponsors... https://bit.ly/IndeedHH Learn more about your ad choices.

From the pandemic, to racial injustice, to political violence, to mass shootings… The past 2 years have been TOO MUCH. In today’s conversation, one of my mentors John Eldredge gives us practical skills and tools to bring our souls back to life. “I’ve laid out the book in the form of a survival guide because in this hour we don’t need inspiration and cute stories; we need skills and tools to strengthen heart and soul,” writes Eldredge. And in today’s episode… he gives us just that… Thanks to our sponsors… Green Chef https://bit.ly/HHGreenChef130 Athletic Greens https://bit.ly/HHAthleticGreens Learn more about your ad choices.

Now the last time Heather was on the podcast, she swore to never come on again. :) That’s because there were SOME HEAVY OPINIONS on how we handle hot topic disagreements… But alas I convinced her to come back and we tackle some hot and not-so-hot topics today… We asked my Instagram audience for their questions and we got SO MANY GOOD ONES… Like… What is our take on the Jan 6th hearings… (Heather has a SPICY ONE!) How to walk with people who you severely disagree with… Our roles at home and do we wish they were different… Sock Sock Shoe Shoe? Or Sock Shoe Sock Shoe? How my family handles my constant social media recording… Our one pick-me-up song… How we argue and who typically wins… And probably 20 more of your questions… This one isn’t so heavy and I know we all need some deep breaths… Heather brings them… Trust me she is as candid as she’s ever been on this one… Thanks for listening!!!

I learned SO MUCH from my Ugandan friends over the last 2 weeks. I learned that THEY are really good at knowing what THEY need. I learned that asking what they need is more important than telling them what they need. I learned that serving them as a Christian IS NOT the same thing as colonizing their land as a Christian. I learned tons about the history of Christianity and its African roots. I learned that Ugandans don’t need Americans to “rescue” them. I learned that it’s important to have these conversations… So in today’s episode, I spend some time unpacking these thoughts the first 1/2 of the show, and then the second 1/2 I interview the producer of the new documentary “Unspoken” - An in-depth look into the Christian heritage of Africa and people of African descent, intended to dispel the notion of Christianity being an exclusively white man’s religion. It is SUCH A GOOD DOCUMENTARY. http://www.unspokenmovie.com Lisa is one of the world’s most sought-after Christian apologists, combining her passion for biblical literacy with her heart for sharing God’s love with all those she meets. This is one of those episodes that you will come back to over and over again… Hopefully, this is helpful!
