The king of instastories is back!  My friend, fellow author, the official king of Instagram stories- Carlos Whittaker. We are doing a deep dive into what God has been teaching Carlos while writing his latest (and what he says is his most important book) Enter Wild.  Carlos shares how his family battled through his 18-year old daughter's terrifying diagnosis, how his prayer life has radically changed in recent days, and what it means to live in the "wild" place of God's manifest presence and miracles.    We cover a lot of ground in this one, including: -The recent awakening to racial injustice in our country, and how he's passionately advocating. -What it means to enter rest, war, and wild. -The jaw-dropping miracles and breakthroughs he has seen since he started praying the promises instead of the problems.   Favorite quotes: 1. Right now is the time we have to get wild. Right now is not the time for getting mild and safe and protecting ourselves. Right now is the time we have to shout from the rooftops and live into the fullness God has for us. He has not called us into this mild faith. 2. Rest is not defined in this book as a vacation. Rest is not defined in this book as lowering your blood pressure. Rest in this book is defined as lowering the volume of life so that the volume of God goes up. 3. The promise of the word of God is going to accelerate your healing. 4. The reason why people don’t get specific with God is because we’re scared He won’t answer.    In this episode I answer this question: I recently parted ways with my best friend of 10 years, how do I grieve someone that isn’t dead?
