Can I Face Anything With Faith? [Episode 172]

Face Anything Faith

This may be an odd spin on Christmas, but I want to share a letter with you that was written December 19, 1944 by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. World War II was raging at the time and people everywhere were in turmoil, but Dietrich’s letter is one of courage and hope. His story and his words will inspire you to face anything this season—or this new year—with faith.

Plus, I was so inspired by his letter that I actually put the words to music, and I’ll sing it over you in today’s episode of the 4:13 Podcast.

Do you control your feelings, or do your feelings control you? Lots of us let guilt, anger, or self-criticism be the boss of us, which makes a total mess of things.

You may say to yourself, “I just need to get over it.” or “I’ve got to stop thinking that way.” But the truth is this tactic rarely works, and in fact, it can make things worse.

Find Contentment Alyssa Bethke

We all face issues that try to rob us of our joy—anxiety, loneliness, and discontent—just to name a few. And with all of its expectations and contradictions, this world can take a major toll on us…

We’re supposed to be fit, but not too skinny. Work and hustle, but stay home and be a good mom. Be wild and free, while remaining tidy and pure. Be a good wife, but be totally independent.
