Summary

This week, we have two of our very best friends, Blake and Allie. We raised our kids together. At least 50% of the things we tried with our kids, we got from Blake and Allie. WHEN I TELL YOU they have raised 4 of the greatest women on Earth! It’s been a joy to watch them grow. In 2011, when I ruined my life and my family’s lives, they were the ones that said to me “you can live with us.” (If you don’t know this story, you can read about it in my book Kill the Spider). I don’t know that my healing could have happened without this family. Now you know the guts of the relationship… Today we talk about the importance of COMMUNITY when parenting… How to create a safe space for our kids to not be okay… The importance of not SHELTERING our kids from real life, but SHEPHERDING them to show the fruits of the Spirit through it all… _______ Purchase my book Kill the Spider HERE: https://www.amazon.com/Kill-Spider-audiobook/dp/B075X1RCJM/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=kill+the+spider+carlos+whittaker+book&qid=1692808769&sprefix=kill+the+spider+%2Caps%2C145&sr=8-1 Watch our swimming with manatees vlog on YouTube HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kROMGYSALaI Get 15% off of my merch with code SUMMER HERE: https://loswhits-merch.myshopify.com/ You can find me on Instagram (@loswhit) here: https://bit.ly/CarlosIGNotes Purchase your copy of my new book, How to Human, HERE: https://bit.ly/HowtoHumanNotes Let’s keep in touch!

0:00.0	Today, human hope is brought to you by E-L-I-C. When I was growing up, my dad would say in
0:11.1	every one of his sermons, because he preached at Bidimera Iglesias Bautista de Piquarevera,
0:15.8	first bilingual Baptist Church of Piquarevera, and he would always say Dios es el mesmo
0:20.3	en inglés y español. God is the same in English and in Spanish. Now, the reason why he would
0:25.1	say that is because he would literally preach his sermons in English and in Spanish at
0:29.9	the same time, like one sentence, then he would translate himself, because all the old people spoke
0:34.5	Spanish, but all the young people spoke English. And it was important that he did that so that
0:40.1	everybody in the room could hear the good news. Now, let me tell you what E-L-I-C does. They are
0:47.9	dedicated to changing lives by equipping and sending people to teach English in unreach areas
0:55.0	of the planet. We're talking about Asia, the Middle East, North Africa. And what I love about it
1:00.7	is they train people like you. So, if you're a college student, if you're a recent graduate, or
1:07.8	really beyond E-L-I-C has a program specifically for you. I mean, imagine for just a second being able to
1:16.1	go to Asia, teach English to people there so that they can be able to consume more good news.
1:24.1	That is what I'm talking about. So, they've got a two to six-week option in the summer. That's
1:29.4	perfect for college students. So, if you're a college student, if you're a graduate, if you've got
1:33.4	a child that's a college student, like I do, what an incredible opportunity for them to get out and
1:39.0	see the world and literally be human hope to the planet. Listen, if you or someone you know is
1:45.2	ready to create hope with that global impact, visit E-L-I-C dot org slash human hope. I'm serious,
1:53.3	go do it right now. E-L-I-C dot org slash human hope.
2:23.9	That's right. I still have yet to meet one of you that can do that correctly. I know you're out there,
2:39.8	I know you exist. I am back from the middle of tour. When I say the middle of tour, two weeks down,
2:49.3	two to go, two weeks down, two to go. We have been all over, we've been to Tampa,
