Barreled in Truth

10/25/2025

Brent J Carter is a man who wears a lot of hats—ministry leader, strategist, mentor—but at the heart of it all, he’s passionate about seeing people grow in their faith and live out the gospel in everyday life. Over the years, Brent has led ministries, built community partnerships, and helped countless leaders dig deeper into Scripture and apply it where life really happens and is currently the Director of Church Engagement at Eastside Presbyterian Church.

He’s known for bringing a mix of wisdom and humility to the table. Whether he’s talking theology, discipleship, or real-life challenges, Brent has a way of pointing people back to Christ with both clarity and compassion.

And most importantly—Brent will tell you himself—he’s a husband and the father of four. That role shapes how he leads, how he teaches, and how he sees the world.

On The Barreled in Truth Podcast, Brent joins the conversation to talk about faith, family, culture, and the truth of the gospel in a way that’s honest, approachable, and rooted in Scripture. Glad to have him join the team!

🎙️ Recording in Progress – New Episode Coming Soon!
We’re in the studio working on a new episode of The Barreled In Truth Podcast titled “Summer Summer Summertime” — inspired by the classic Will Smith track.

This one’s all about the culture, the season, the shift that happens in our hearts during the summer, and how many believers unintentionally drift spiritually.

One of the most convicting things Pastor Chris Hall said during recording was:

“Your family calendar should revolve around your church calendar as much as you possibly can.”
— Pastor Chris Hall

Let that one sink in.

🔥 Stay tuned. It’s gritty, real, and needed.

“He is not here, for He has risen, as He said.” — Matthew 28:6 (ESV)

Imagine searching for Jesus in your sorrow.
You’ve come to the tomb in grief, longing just to be near the place where He was laid. You’re still trying to make sense of it all—Friday’s horror, the silence of Saturday, the ache of absence.

You expect stillness. But instead, you find the stone rolled away.
The grave is empty. The guards are gone. And then—you see Him.
Jesus. Standing in front of you. Alive.

Not imagined. Not a memory.
Real. Radiant. Resurrected.
He speaks your name, and in an instant, everything changes.

This is why we celebrate Easter.

Because the One who died in our place didn’t stay in the grave.
Because sin has been paid for, and death has been defeated.
Because mercy triumphed over judgment, and love conquered the grave.

We celebrate because the cross was not the end—it was the beginning.
Because Jesus is not only risen—He reigns.
He’s not only alive—He is with us.

We celebrate because the same power that raised Him now raises us—
From shame, from fear, from spiritual death into everlasting life.

Easter is more than a story—it is the turning point of all history.
And if Jesus is standing before you—alive, triumphant, full of mercy—
then this is your calling.

You go and tell.
You bear witness to the Risen King.
You speak of Him to all who will listen.
Because once you’ve seen the living Christ, you cannot stay silent.

The stone is sealed. The tomb is closed. Heaven is quiet.

Imagine the silence.
The cross has done its work. The crowds have scattered. The sky has cleared, but the world feels darker than ever. Hope feels buried.

The One who calmed the sea now lies still behind the stone.
The hands that healed are motionless.
The voice that called the dead to rise is silent.

It is Saturday.
And for those who loved Him, it feels like the end.

The questions linger in the quiet:
Was He really the One?
Why didn’t He stop it?
What now?

This day is not marked by miracles, or sermons, or signs—
It is marked by waiting.
By wondering.
By mourning what was… and not yet knowing what will be.

And yet—heaven is not absent. God is not idle.
Even in silence, the plan is unfolding. Even in the stillness of the grave, victory is already moving.

Because Sunday is coming.
But today—we sit in the silence and remember:
There is purpose in the pause. There is weight in the waiting. There is glory being prepared—even in the grave.
