#357: Spill the Beans LIVE with Margaret Feinberg [Fresh Grounded Faith Bloomington, IL]
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.
