Merry Christmas, 4:13ers! Today, KC and I share some fun Christmas memories to brighten your day and lighten your load. You’ll enjoy these hilarious little snapshots into our youth that God used to form us into who we are today.
And—in keeping with our Christmas tradition—Michael O’Brien will sing a beautiful Christmas song over you to remind you of the peace and blessings we all get to experience this season.
“The peace we long for begins with coming to the end of ourselves.” Those words are from today’s 4:13 guest, Dr. Joel Muddamalle, and on today’s episode, he’ll explain how humility is the missing piece we’re looking for to find the security, strength, and confidence we all need.
He’ll help us understand biblical humility—what it is and what it’s not—by breaking down the theology of humility into bite-sized takeaways. Plus, he’ll clarify what it means to have a balanced self-awareness and explain how humility actually serves as an antidote to shame.
Have you ever Googled “Christian book about _____” to find a book that will help you get through something you’re facing? Or maybe you’ve found yourself wishing you could just spill it with other women to help you with that thing you’re facing.
Well today, I’m hanging out with my friend Kendra from Proverbs 31 Ministries, and we’re getting honest about how women need each other and how joining together—even if it’s only online—can help us go and grow deeper in our faith.
On this BONUS episode of the 4:13, I thought it would be super fun to show you some stuff I love. It’s just a few of my favorite things that will make your life easier and may even help with your last-minute Christmas shopping.
Thankfulness. It’s a choice we make every single day. But this is the time of year we focus in on what it means, what we have to be thankful for, and—most importantly—to whom we’re thankful.
So, to help you pause and give thanks, KC and I put together this short and sweet Thanksgiving Audio Card that will center your heart on the One who is the source of all your blessings. Plus, we’ll play for you a powerful song by Micah Christopher called “The Lord Is Good,” so be sure to listen to the very end.
When life is hard or sad, it can feel like joy is out of reach. And when we’re in a really difficult season, the “overflowing joy” spoken of in Scripture can seem impossible to experience. But that’s not true, my friend! We can experience joy in any circumstance and experience it in full.
Today’s guest, author and Bible teacher Tara Dew, explains that if you’re willing to take Jesus up on His word, you’ll find that God’s pruning, God’s presence, and God’s commands have the power to deliver a ton of joy to your life.
