Think of a time in your life . . . maybe that time is right now . . . when you were grieving something. Maybe it was the loss of a loved one. Maybe it was the death of a dream, a betrayal . . . maybe it was even something as simple as a change in a routine. What did you do with that grief? For so many people, maybe even for you, the answer to that question is . . . nothing. And if you're honest, maybe it's still affecting you today. That's the reality for so, so many people – we haven't been taught how to grieve. Grief is unavoidable so we should spend time to learn how to process it in a healthy way. In this episode of Doable Discipleship, host Jason Wieland is joined by Steve Carter. Steve is the best-selling author of The Thing Beneath the Thing and his latest book, Grieve, Breathe, Receive. In this conversation, Jason talks with Steve about his personal history having to learn how to grieve, how to process through a Grieve, Breathe, Receive framework (and what it has to do with Holy Week), how to grieve relationally, and so much more. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland. It premiered in 2017 and now offers more than 350 episodes.

It's easy to compartmentalize our faith and our work – even when we feel called to the businesses we're entrusted to steward and grow.   But what happens when you actively integrate your faith into the meaningful work you're called to?   My guest on this episode of BEYOND, Steve Carter, believes it gives you an unfair advantage.    Steve was a recent guest pastor at my own church, and the message he shared several weeks ago was so compelling, so convicting, that I knew while listening that Sunday morning that I was supposed to invite him to explore this topic with us as a guest here on the show. And I'm so grateful that he said yes.   Steve Carter is a pastor, speaker, author, podcast host, sports enthusiast, and the former lead teaching pastor of Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago. Steve is a gifted communicator and storyteller and one of my favorite parts about this conversation is to simplify what can often feel like a complex topic – what it looks like to access your faith to the extent that it truly becomes active in every part of your life – every role, every relationship, everything you do – and why, as mothers and wives and business owners, that gives us an unfair advantage.   Steve Carter is a pastor, speaker, author, podcast host, sports enthusiast, and the former lead teaching pastor of Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago.   On this episode of BEYOND, you'll learn:   How a major in film led Steve to a career in storytelling and ministry Why we can easily separate our faith from the work we're called to – and how we can get lost in the process The importance of trusting what others see in you beyond what you might believe about yourself when it comes to your gifts How trust in God can build safety and consistency into our businesses How the trap of a never-ending to-do list can easily lead our faith to become “another box to check off” What it looks like to stop “white-knuckling” your life and business  What shifts when you see your business not as YOURS, but as God's business that He has entrusted to you What it looks like to access and integrate the Holy Spirit into the work of motherhood and beyond How our longing for speed and efficiency has put us at odds with the Holy Spirit (and leads us to feel disconnected and unfulfilled) Why your faith is your superpower in a culture that says to work harder, try harder and do more The 5 different directions God leads us to help us grow The connection between our health, our peace and being willing to admit how much we don't know    Important links for this episode: Visit Steve Carter's website Connect with Steve on IG Listen to Steve's Podcast: Craft and Character Steve's book: The Thing Beneath the Thing I'm continuously amazed by the ways God works through our businesses to grow us both personally and spiritually, and am thankful for Steve sharing with us what it looks like to fully integrate our faith into our work life. If you're tired of spinning your wheels and you're ready for mindset and business support that will help you simplify and create the kind of life and business you're excited to wake up to, the kind that serves not only your clients but you and your family well, I want to invite you to apply for private 1:1 coaching.

What do you do when you're set up to be the successor of the lead pastor of one of the biggest and most well-known churches in the world and suddenly everything comes crashing down? What do you do when it becomes clear that the beloved pastor you were meant to follow has been found to be abusive toward women—and the church's leadership fails to take responsibility for the systems that allowed that?What do you do?This is exactly the situation that Steve Carter faced.  Steve was set to succeed Bill Hybels at Willow Creek Church in Chicago.  And when news broke of the things Hybels had done, Steve had to make a decision.  Would he stay and become complicit in the system that made Hybels' abuse possible?  Or would he step away and let go of everything that to this point had given him a sense of value and meaning?Today, Steve Carter is the pastor of Forest City Church outside Chicago And the author of The Thing Beneath the Thing: What's Hidden Inside (and What God Helps Us Do About It).THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Steve Carter and Markus Watson walked the Camino de Santiago together in October 2022 as part of the Journey Home cohort led by Jon Huckins.Steve Carter met Bill Hybels while interning with Rob Bell.Steve joined the staff of Willow Creek Church and was soon tapped to succeed Bill Hybels as pastor of the church.Eventually, Steve found out (from his book editor!) that a story was going to come out about Bill Hybels.Ultimately, Steve resigned from Willow Creek because the story of Bill Hybels' history of abuse was being mishandled by the leadership.  Steve felt that by staying he would have been complicit.Leaving Willow Creek was incredibly difficult and painful for Steve.It was while walking the Camino de Santiago that Steve Carter was finally able to say, “I love Bill Hybels.”Markus Watson shares about his experience of healing and transformation and healing while on the Camino de Santiago.According to Steve Carter, we need to respond to the reality of suffering in three ways:Past:  Practice forgiveness for what has happened.Present:  Rely on your core values—because you're not going to make everyone happy.Future:  Prepare and practice for what may come.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Steve Carter:Forest City ChurchCraft and Character podcastBooks mentioned:The Thing Beneath the Thing, by Steve CarterJourney Home: A Pilgrimmage for MenLearn how to lead your church into ministry that matters.

Message from Pastor Steve Carter on April 30, 2023

When Jesus interacts with people he seems to always be inviting them to see what is beneath their question or issue. We too are inviting to look deeper at where God is calling us to surrender in order to find freedom and healing. Matthew 19:16-22

What's your Primal Question? We dive into Psalm 139 to discover our Primal Question, declare our Primal Truth, and develop our Primal Gift. Knowing whose you are and who you are shapes what you do. As we begin 2024, know that you belong to God, and know that God's uniquely made you to be a vessel for His kingdom. Today, pastor Jon Kragel shares a framework that his been transformative in his life that we believe can be transformative in your life, too! While, this sermon is a little different than our normal set up, we encourage you lean in and learn more about how God made you. #YourPrimalQuestion

The Thing Beneath the Thing - John Fanous - (October 30 2022)

In Romans 7:15, Paul writes: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” Isn't that so relatable? Sometimes we find ourselves getting frustrated at our loved ones, exaggerating the truth, or trying to escape a difficult situation, and we wonder what is motivating our behavior. Today, my friend, Steve Carter, is here on the podcast to talk with us about his book, “The Thing Beneath the Thing.” In it, Steve talks about triggers, habits, and narratives that are powerfully rooted beneath the surface, how we can recognize them, and step into greater levels of wholeness. I think this is super applicable for us perfection-ditchers, because I don't think we really want to be perfectionists, right? We don't want to give people pleasing power in our workplaces, friendships, and families. But those sneaky habits weave their way into normalcy. So, I think this episode will be helpful and encouraging… and I hope you pick up his book if you haven't read it already! Before we dive into the conversation, I want to tell you a little bit about Steve. Steve Carter is someone who I have learned from and respected for a long time. I listened to him regularly while he was the Teaching Pastor at Willow Creek. I watched him, from afar, handle difficult situations in his church with great integrity and honor. Then, a few years ago, Steve came and spent a week with us at the church where I was serving at the time. Mike and I picked him up from the airport, took him out to lunch, and chatted for a few hours about preaching, supporting women in ministry… and of course, he and Mike chatted A LOT about the NBA. :) Steve is the real deal. He's authentic. He's willing to make hard choices to stand with those on the margins. He's one of the most incredible communicators of the Gospel I've ever heard. He's quick to encourage and call out the best in others. And I am grateful to call him my friend.

Kevin Krueger spoke with Pastor Steve Carter, author of “The Thing Beneath The Thing”.

Have you ever wondered why you do some of the things you do? Why do you react a certain way, why do you get triggered or irritated so easily, or why do you sometimes lose it only to regret it later?   The apostle Paul asked similar questions in Romans 7:15 “I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate.”  In this episode, Steve Carter shares the importance of abiding in Christ. One of the pieces that we often miss in scripture is the presence of God. When we break down the scriptures, we realize that God is everywhere, that He is present right now, and if He is here, He is up to something.  An Invitation As men, we often have the mentality, “I have to do this for this person,” “I have to provide for my family,” “I have to do this for my community…for my church”. The invitation from Christ is more than just to do something.  The invitation from Christ is first to come and follow Him, to be with Him and see how He does it.   With all the pressures and hurries in our world, it is no wonder many find it difficult to abide in God's presence, sit, rest and learn. However, when we take time and experience His presence, we will find our peace and joy in Christ.   We cannot microwave spiritual formation. It takes time to grow, to heal, to mend, to discover your passions, your prejudices, your fears and hopes, your strengths and weaknesses, just like a good bottle of wine. ~ Steve Carter Spiritual formation is a process that takes time and requires we enter into the presence of God daily. We will see wholeness in our lives if we commit to abide in Christ.   Everyone that goes to the gym knows this is true. Muscle growth and development take time and consistency. In the same way, our spiritual growth requires the consistent presence of God.  The Thing Beneath The Thing When we react to something or someone, we are often reenacting something from our past. Our reaction points to a place in our hearts where we need healing and wholeness only found as we abide in Christ.  God wants us to be spiritually whole and healthy so that we can become better men, husbands, friends, and leaders.   Today, be willing to get to the thing beneath the thing. Talk to a friend, see a counsellor, and take a step forward.   Remember when Jesus said:  “I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 NRSV    - Craft & Character Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/craft-character/id1514214001 - https://www.SteveRyanCarter.com   ---------------------------------------------- Website: https://impactus.org/ Check Our Resources for Men: https://impactus.org/resources/ ---------------------------------------------- Follow us on Social Media Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/impactusmen/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/impactusmen/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/impactusmen/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/impactusmen This Is Me TV: https://www.youtube.com/user/ThisIsMeTVShow

Our guest today, Jason Wilson, is a prolific coach to many men, young and old, across the nation. He says, "Strength depends on the physical ability of the body, but power is based on the spiritual rule over the body." For decades, Jason Wilson was losing the war within—the internal battle that many men wage daily but were never taught how to win. As a result, he could not combat his toxic thoughts and emotions. Instead, he was conquered by them and communicated without composure—hurting those he loved and himself. This went on until he renewed his mind by releasing years of past trauma. His life and relationships were transformed when he learned how to master his emotions and express them with self-control. In the process, Jason became a better husband, father, and leader. And today, you'll hear from Jason and learn how to do the same. If you enjoy this episode with Jason, I'm sure you'll also enjoy: 255: Triggered and Insecure? It's the Thing Beneath the Thing. (feat.

Dr. Corey Latta discusses his experiences with toxic workplaces from corporate to higher education, explaining that while toxicity comes in different shapes and flavors, all such environments lack one major ingredient: people centeredness. He offers wise and empowering guidance for those navigating toxic workplaces and in the end, we discuss the ways healing, growth, and inner work (and lack thereof) may shape our career choices.

This week we're talking about the exhaustion of explaining yourself and how to risk with courage. Today, Dave Hollis will unpack why "When we're feeling frustrated and unfulfilled, the source of our discontent can often be traced back to the gap that exists between who we are at our core and how we feel like we have to show up to get affirmation from outside sources." Also today, Dave will teach us how to handle criticism without going into self-protection or self-promotion mode.

Hideouts are the metaphoric places we go to escape the pain of our story. We expend a lot of energy trying to manage our secrets and as we get older we can become increasingly better at hiding. We all have an image we present to the world, but our smiling faces often hide pain or insecurities that have been buried deep within.   This Sunday we are going to peak inside and examine where we go when things get hard. Join us at 10am at Iron Horse Middle School in San Ramon.

I sit down with Steve Carter, former lead teaching pastor of Willow Creek Community Church. Steve is author of the recent release, The Thing Beneath the Thing, plus a speaker, podcaster and founder of Craft and Character.

In this episode of the 5 Leadership Questions podcast, Todd Adkins and Chandler Vannoy are joined by Steve Carter. Carter is pastor, speaker, author, podcast host and the former lead teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago. He hosts the Craft & Character podcast, a sports podcast called The Home Team, and his latest book, The Thing Beneath the Thing, is now available. They discuss how people respond when they are triggered by past pain and why sanctification really matters. BEST QUOTES "If I say something I shouldn't say or I do not follow through on a commitment, I can't say that just like Paul, 'I do not understand what I do.'""We are people who have been triggered and those triggers are deeply connected to pains, traumas, and wounds.""The healthiest people, when they get triggered, don't see it as permission to escape. They see it as an invitation to be courageously curious.""The desert was a real gift for me because it was character school. It helped me remember why I got into this.""You can have these principles and values and practices and then all of a sudden you go through a season of three months where you feel like there isn't margin.""I needed to be healthy. I didn't want to step into another church and transfer my pain onto some other elder board.""A lot of times, especially in moments of crisis, there isn't a true north. Oftentimes, for pastors and leaders, we know the vision for our church, but we don't have a personal vision.""Every 90 days we try to look at the last 90 days to see what worked, what didn't, what needs to change, what can we be better at.""I was grateful that there were pastors in my life who could see that my success was outpacing my character and they pulled me aside.""Don't ever stop working on your craft.""I think a lot of pastors plateau in their 30s. I want to be a better communicator when I'm 70. I want to be wiser, but I always want my character to lead the way."

This week, we're talking about self-defeating behavior, living a lie, and the true path to inner peace. Have you wondered lately why your mind is under so much duress and why you keep returning to self-protecting, self-promoting reflexes in your day-to-day interaction with others? Well, according to today's guest, one of my favorite people, John Mark Comer, “The emotional/relational/familial/societal/political meltdown we've been living in for years now is daily proof of the fact that our mental maps are off, that we're drifting further and further into dangerous territory.” What's the linchpin that's inhibiting our ability to course-correct? That's what we'll explore with John Mark today.

Our guest today, Jason Wilson, is a prolific coach to many men, young and old, across the nation. He says, "Strength depends on the physical ability of the body, but power is based on the spiritual rule over the body." For decades, Jason Wilson was losing the war within—the internal battle that many men wage daily but were never taught how to win. As a result, he could not combat his toxic thoughts and emotions. Instead, he was conquered by them and communicated without composure—hurting those he loved and himself. This went on until he renewed his mind by releasing years of past trauma. His life and relationships were transformed when he learned how to master his emotions and express them with self-control. In the process, Jason became a better husband, father, and leader. And today, you'll hear from Jason and learn how to do the same. If you enjoy this episode with Jason, I'm sure you'll also enjoy: 255: Triggered and Insecure? It's the Thing Beneath the Thing. (feat.

When we have the courage to be emotionally honest and evaluate our reactions from a sense of curiosity rather than shame, we're better able to process everything from a position of love and grace.
