I’m so glad you’re here. 
Today we say goodbye to Human Hope, and I’m a little emotional about the change, if I’m being honest. But I’m so excited for what’s to come! 
Don’t get me wrong, hope is still here and it’s never going away! But I want this podcast to be a place where we hold space for when hope is hard. It's going to be a place where we go beyond the soundbite culture of social media, and we dig in deep. We're going to talk about life as it comes, and how it affects me, my family, our community, and our world. 
This podcast is for you— whether you're long-time Instafamilia or you're just joining our community. You belong here. Come and be apart of it. All you have to do is listen.

In this podcast Carlos creates a space where people are safe to engage in conversation about the topics that matter most. His motto: Don't stand on issues, walk with people.

Episode 19: Father Of The Bride Pt. 1: Tips For Building Your Parent-Daughter Relationship, Wedding Talk, & The Bride Herself - Sohaila Whittaker

This is a very special episode for me. I go WAY BACK in my feels as I talk with some old friends.
Kristian Stanfill and Brett Younker from Passion Music join me on this episode to talk through the history, power, and trajectory of Passion. 
Passion Music deeply shaped my life as a worship leader (back when I was young and hip).
We’re digging into the vaults today and get into our feels reflecting on some of the most FORMATIVE songs of my faith. 
The wisdom and reverence these guys bring to the conversation is something you don’t want to miss!

Episode 18: Talking About Some Of The Most Impactful Music That’s EVER Been Released With Brett Younker And Kristian Stanfill From Passion Music

We are rewinding time with this episode. Matt Brown knew me before most. 
We’re talking about a season of my life that most people don’t even know EXISTED. That’s right. I used to be a worship leader / Christian music artist.
And it all started at Sandals Church under the leadership of Matt Brown. Over 20 years later, and he’s still there!
Matt saw me through high highs and low lows. And he and Sandals are a major part of who I am and what I do today.
We’re talking about young Carlos and Matt, our dads, trusting the church again, and Matt’s insight into life with God now.

Episode 17: One Of My OLDEST Friends: Pastor Matt Brown Talks Carlos 1.0, Being Young Leaders, And MIRACLES

My daughter is getting married, and we are in the THROWS of wedding season. 
She had a bridal shower this week, and it was so beautiful to see her surrounded by so many women who have been walking with us for literal DECADES through marriage and parenting and now having adult children who are getting married in 5 weeks! 
So, I asked them two questions:

If you could go back 20 years and talk to yourself as you enter this journey of marriage and parenthood, what would you say?

If you could give Brady and Sohaila one piece of wisdom, what would it be?

Whether you’re thinking about becoming a parent or you’ve been doing it for 20 years, there’s something in here for you.

Episode 16: My Wife Heather And Her Closest Friends Share Marriage And Parenting WISDOM That You Don’t Want To Miss

This episode is for YOU. Not everyone who is listening at once. Just you. 
You know that I go to church, and I love my church. But you also know that I’m not shy about speaking out about how the church has had many missteps over the years. 
So what do you do when you’ve been hurt by the church but you still want to be part of it? I unpack part of my journey when it came to reevaluating church, and I hope it guides you through some thoughts and questions to ask yourself as you consider re-entering the church as well. 
This process doesn't need to feel hopeless.
