#360: Can I Get Over Feeling Awkward About Sharing My Faith? With Dr. Derwin Gray
Everyone longs for love—especially God’s love—even if they don’t realize it yet. So, why is it so hard to tell others about the love of God? For many of us, sharing the gospel can be intimidating! We often feel inadequate, afraid, or just unsure of what to say. But today, we’re facing those fears head-on! Dr. Derwin Gray joins us on the 4:13 and teaches us how to share the gospel—without pressure, without fear, and without needing to be perfect. You’ll learn to navigate the internal fears and external obstacles that keep you from telling others the good news, and you'll become equipped to communicate the invitation of Christ with authenticity and love. So, if you’ve ever thought, “I want to share Jesus, but I don’t know how,” listen in! You’ll be reminded that God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called—and that includes YOU!

#359: What Whitney Capps and Point of Grace Have To Say About It
I cannot wait for you to hear this today! Whitney Capps and the incredible ladies of Point of Grace joined me at a Fresh Grounded Faith event in Springfield, Missouri, and let me tell you, there was something extra special about this day. Maybe it was because Whitney brought such raw honesty while in the middle of cancer treatments. Or maybe it was the sweet friendship and humility that Point of Grace radiated from the stage. Or maybe it was because someone in the audience tried to set KC up with her cousin, Brenda. 😂 Either way, we had a blast answering questions from the audience where Point of Grace shared how they got together, what happened when a “cease and desist” forced them to change their name 👀, and if they ever have any girl drama! Plus, we opened up about whether it’s okay to tell God that you’re mad, practical ways to become self-disciplined, and how to walk with a friend through cancer. It’s deep, it’s funny, it’s real—and it’s just what you need today. So get ready! We’re spilling the beans! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/359 Read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

#358: Can I Worry Less? With Jonny Ardavanis
A recent study found that over 40 million adults grapple with some form of anxiety or worry. Chances are, this includes you or someone you love. But don’t we all find ourselves worrying from time to time? I know I do! So, what’s really causing our worry, and how do we know when our legitimate concerns cross the line into worry? Well, today on the 4:13, Pastor Jonny Ardavanis gets honest about the underlying issues with worry and where we ultimately find our hope: in the character of God. With pastoral compassion and answers anchored in Scripture, Jonny explains how the antidote to anxiety isn't just trying harder not to worry, but learning to truly trust God’s unchanging character. Because walking this out in faith isn’t just about believing in God, but in believing God. So, if you're grasping for peace and starved for hope, listen in! You’ll get something far better than a quick fix—you’ll learn to fix your gaze on your Heavenly Father who loves you.

Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even tear up a little as we spill the beans LIVE from a Fresh Grounded Faith event in Bloomington, Illinois! My good friends Margaret Feinberg and Michael O’Brien joined me, and what an honest, hope-filled conversation we had in answering questions from the audience. We talked about the best way to handle stress and worry, how to know if God is calling you to step back in ministry, and what to do when grief knocks the wind out of you. Michael opens up about how his identity took a hit when he left the band, NewSong, and Margaret tells a hilarious (and slightly horrifying) story about showing up to an event without her pants. Yep, it happened! Today, we’re answering your big questions, sharing our most embarrassing moments, and reminding you that God is present—even in the hard stuff.

#356: Can I Believe That God Really Loves Me? With Rev. Chris Lee
In this episode of the 4:13, we’re heading back across the pond to chat with Rev. Chris Lee—an English vicar whose sixty-second sermons on Instagram have resonated with millions of people around the world. Why? Because with all of the constant noise and distractions that keep us from entering the presence of God, his sermons are a timely invitation to pause, breathe, and remember who you are before God—something our entire 4:13 family needs to do. So today, I’ve asked Rev. Chris to lead the charge! He’ll teach you to step back from the chaos, quiet your soul, and remember you are God’s beloved. And, my friend, what a difference it makes when you are still before God, focus on His promises, and ponder His incredible love for you! So, let’s do it! Settle in, take a deep breath, and turn your gaze to God. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/356 Enter to win the GIVEAWAY and read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.
