Furtick is the lead pastor of Elevation Church in Charlotte, the largest congregation in North Carolina.Crash the Chatterbox is his third book and his second New York Times best-seller. Furtick tackles the topic of negative self-talk—what he calls “the chatterbox”— and offers help to overcoming damaging internal dialogue. Writing from a place of personal experience blended with a study of Scriptures, Furtick teaches four key reminders of biblical truths that can short-circuit destructive mental static.

In celebration of the new book’s release on February 11, Furtick hosted an eight-hour online radio broadcast where he accepted questions from readers and was joined by a long-list of high-profile friends such as Pastor Craig Groeschel of LifeChurch.tv, Grammy-award winning singer Mandisa, and Proverbs 31 President Lysa TerKeurst.
