Episode 30: Carlos on Gaining Our Lives Back, Recovering the Lost Art of Being Human, and Remembering We Are Made for More
Pop some popcorn, turn up the volume, as Carlos Whittaker shares his journey of disconnecting from screens and reconnecting with what it means to be human.
How much of your life are you really missing? Well, one day Carlos did the math, and the calculations were hard to stomach. This discovery led Carlos to spend seven screen-free weeks, completely unplugging from technology. During this time, he got his brain scanned, lived with monks and Amish farmers, and relearned the lost art of things like savoring, wondering, getting lost, and practicing solitude.
In this conversation, Carlos and Jessye discuss the importance of slowing down and living at God's speed. They explore the idea of finding beauty in the small moments and not rushing through life. They also discuss the impact of technology and the need to disconnect in order to reconnect with ourselves, with those around us, and with God. Carlos shares his personal experiences and challenges listeners to examine what is speeding them up in life and find ways to slow down.
If you’ve ever felt like throwing your phone into a lake or had the sneaking suspicion that maybe there is more to life than feeling haggard and exhausted every day, this episode is for you. And take it one life-changing step further–join Carlos and Jessye for the Made for More retreat this October in San Diego for a three day two night time to get reconnected yourself.
