In this bonus episode for our series on character called "To-Be List", Carey interviews Joel Manby, former CEO of SeaWorld. Joel took over SeaWorld just after the airing of the infamous "Blackfish" documentary and talks candidly and humbly about character and the cost of high capacity leadership.

You have a million things on the go, and because you don't want to be selfish, chances are you put everything and everyone ahead of yourself. That's potentially a fatal mistake. Maybe the key to being a better follower of Jesus, a better spouse, a better parent and a better human is actually putting yourself first when it comes to personal growth.

Whatever your sense of morality is, the frightening truth is that we all fail to live up to it? Why...and how do you keep coming up short? Surprisingly, compromise never starts with the big stuff. It's way more subtle than that. When you see how compromise starts, you can change it.

Carey Nieuwhof To Be List - Part 1 - Meanwhile, At Your Funeral... As much as no one likes to talk about it, one day we're all going to not be here anymore. So here's the socially awkward question: what will people be saying about you at your funeral? After doing hundreds of funerals, pastors have a pretty good idea of what people say at funerals. And that's the question we'll look at this weekend is what will people say about you? It's not that hard to predict.

Don't miss this touching bonus episode where Carey has a heartfelt conversation with Levi and Jenni Lusko on the loss of their daughter.

Levi Lusko When we face pain and loss, they change the story we had planned for our lives. They can end our dreams. But what do pain and loss look like when we try to see the world as God sees the world, and to do as God says?

Andy Stanley We tend to view our time the same way we view our money—we spend, invest, and waste it. The question is: how does God view time? If we saw it as he sees it, it might affect the way we use our own.

Andy Stanley Seeing your money and possessions as God sees them will make you more inclined to do with them as God says. That can revolutionize your life.

Clay Scroggins How you see the world affects everything you do. It even affects how you see God. What would it take for you to broaden your view so you can see God more accurately and connect with him more deeply?

Jeff Henderson What do you do when you feel stuck at work? You're grateful you have a job, but you feel like there's something else you need to be doing. How do you pay the bills and still pursue a dream job? Many people give up. You don't have to be one of those people. In the conclusion of Dream Job, we talk about what to do in the middle of the Monday-morning blues and the search for your dream job.
