About this audiobook
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, open up your book, and grab a shoe. We're going on a spider hunt.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I’ve got some cleaning to do but now I know better how to with lessons shared by someone who’s gone before and shared what he learned. But it’s not just the author’s experience alone but he consistently pointed to Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I can't find the words to adequately describe this book. EVERYONE should read/listen to it! I know I will again and again.
