The Carlos Whittaker Podcast That Sounds Fun Network

Welcome to the first FATHER OF THE BRIDE episode! We are less than 20 DAYS away from marrying off my FIRST-BORN daughter. Y’all…
We talk about our feelings as the day approaches, the father-daughter dance, the ceremony, the details, and MORE.
If you have young daughters, I hope this gives you a helpful perspective as they grow up. 
Plus, I give you a few tips on how to build a close relationship with your daughter(s) and STAY CLOSE as they get older.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Losiah and I sit down and talk about what we've been through and what's next.
My son brings the WISDOM, so grab your pencils because you’re going to want to take notes.
