Carter Live / Overview

What If You Went All In?

Most people are just trying to get through the day. Some want to make a difference. But what if God is calling you to something bigger? Don't let excuses, fear, or being comfortable keep you from becoming who you're meant to be. Stop playing small. Take the shot, trust God, and see what happens.

Most people want to make a living. Some want to make a difference. But the people who change the world decide to make history.

A reminder for the journey
Five practical takeaways
  1. 01

    Stop Thinking Small

    You're capable of more than just making it through the week.

  2. 02

    Use What You've Got

    God can use your voice right now, not someday.

  3. 03

    Comfort Is the Enemy of Growth

    If it never challenges you, it probably won't change you.

  4. 04

    Don't Let Other People's Opinions Run Your Life

    Stop worrying about fitting in when God made you to stand out.

  5. 05

    Go All In

    Don't just watch life happen. Jump in and see what God can do through you.
