This second part of the Moment Maker Dads conversation with Carlos Whittaker explores waking ourselves up to living our life rather than letting life live you.

  • To disturb and disrupt will be the place we are most awakened
  • Why don't we disturb and disrupt ourselves on purpose so that we can continue to grow and mature.
  • In order to show our kids wonder, we must go backwards and slow things down.
  • The power of a "Pause" - what am I not noticing around me?
  • Look at the life of Jesus - how was he a moment maker?
  • Jesus created moments for people on purpose
  • In order to create moments for other people, we must first receive moments from God
  • Pause, slow down and rest to lower the volume of life
  • How many stories (the amount of data) am I listening to in the first 5-minutes of my day?
  • Massively limit screen time (It’s always easier to add more then to take it away)
  • SPIES acronym:
    • Socially
    • Physically
    • Intellectually
    • Emotionally
    • Spiritually
  • Showing our kids more what it looks like to be like Jesus
