Getting Rid of What's Really Holding You Back

Length: 4 hrs and 37 mins

Publisher's summary

Carlos Whittaker equips you with practical steps to destroying the roots of your deep-seated habits so you can get rid of what's holding you back and embrace true freedom in Christ.

Are you tired of trying to live for Christ - only to fail time and time again with the same old behaviors? Do you pray for guidance, ask for deliverance, and vow to do better, yet fail to progress?

As an author, speaker, podcaster, and communicator for our time, Carlos has lived much of his spiritual life in the spotlight. But, like any Christian, his faith story has had its ups and downs. He spent decades trying to figure out how to be a "better person". Time and time again, he strived for holiness, only to get caught in a cycle of destructive habits, behaviors, and thought patterns. But the buck stops here. Or, rather, the spider is killed here.

Throughout Kill the Spider, Carlos walks you through the key aspects of killing the spiders in your own life, including:

• Confessing the lies you've believed
• Renouncing the lies that have held you back
• Rejecting every lie that Jesus has exposed to you
• Replacing these lies with Jesus's truth

In Kill the Spider, Carlos shares everything from hilarious, self-deprecating stories to passion-filled wisdom to teach us that we can't just clear away the pesky cobwebs. Instead, we need to find the spider - the source of the issue - and take it out entirely.

Carlos offers a breath of fresh air to any believer looking to finally step into the freedom in Christ. Take a seat, start listening to your book, and grab a shoe. We're going on a spider hunt.

Everyone Has a Spider

Everyone has a spider they need to kill in their life. Carlos is generously open about his spider and gives very personal details on his journey to recovery. I tried this book on a whim and it was well worth it.

Mind blowing

First book I read in 20 years. Amazing is all I can say. Thanks Carlos

Great read!

Kill the Spider is an excellent book. It helped me think through many of my behaviors, learn their cause and forgive myself for many things. Truly life changing for me. Thank you Carlos.

Spider Hunt

Have you ever found yourself cleaning out cobwebs in your life only to find that the spider who makes them is still alive, well, and making more messes? Carlos defines cobwebs as things in your life that we use as medications like alcohol, obsession with work, pornography, and bingeing on food or Netflix. These are symptoms of a deeper problem. The goal of the book is to help you identify and kill your spider- the lie you bought into that is causing pain in your life. Carlos’s lie was this - God has abandoned me. Searching for your spider takes courage, intentionality, and help. Some of us have avoided facing our spiders for so long and fed them so well that they are epic monsters. The only way to truly heal is to hunt and kill them. Each chapter of the book includes reflection questions to help on the journey. Thanks to Aubrey for recommending this book.

This book is for people who hate spiders, and those seeking deep healing.
(Rated PG, Score 8/10)

Heavy....in the best ways

FINALLY! A book about the hard stuff and what to do about it from someone who actually gets it! And what gives Los the right to speak on such things? He’s lived it and he’s honest about it. He’s gut wrenchingly truthful, not just about what he struggles with but about how freakin hard it is to work through. But you finish with hope and encouragement that you can and will kill spiders. Read it. Read it again with your notebook and a pen. Give it to a friend.

Powerful and practical!

An on time message . Like a good friend taking me on a journey to freedom by sharing theirs.
