It's summer and it's hot! So that means it’s time for our hottest episodes on the 4:13 … something I like to call “Summer Sizzle.” For the next five weeks, we’re featuring your most shared episodes of the podcast, and that includes Episode 35: “Can I Find Comfort When My Heart is Broken?” We’ve all experienced grief, perhaps varying degrees of it, so in this conversation, KC and I get practical about how God comforts you when your heart is breaking. You’ll discover that God’s comfort doesn’t erase your grief. It absorbs it. His comfort doesn’t make your sorrow less. It makes your capacity to face it greater. And God’s comfort helps you walk through grief and sorrow with hope. There’s a reason this episode is one of the most shared! It’s encouraging, real, and will give you some truth to tuck in your heart when you need it most.

#301: Can I Find Comfort When My Heart Is Breaking? [Summer Sizzle]

Prayer doesn’t come easy for everyone. Whether we’re praying for ourselves or for someone else, it can be such a thing, can’t it? Well, it doesn’t have to be. Author Sharon Jaynes is back on the 4:13 to teach us how to pray for the people we love! And you are going to love this because it’s memorable and something you can do each time you interact with your loved ones! Sharon introduces a framework to pray for all your people from head to toe—from their eyes and ears (or what enters their mind) all the way down to their feet (or the path that lies ahead). Plus, she’ll help you understand the importance of prayer and give you a gentle reminder that prayer isn’t a means of gaining control over that person but relinquishing control to God.

#300: Can I Pray Scripture Over the People I Love? With Sharon Jaynes

We all long for lasting peace and stability, whether we’re healing from painful memories, grieving a recent loss, or simply trying to find a quiet path forward in a chaotic world. So today on the 4:13, author Anh Lin vulnerably shares how she rebuilt her life following the instability and trauma of her early years. With Christ as her new foundation, she built a framework anchored in biblical truth—which ended up being the beginning of her “forever home.” Anh shares the good news that renewal is possible for you too, giving you the blueprint for your own forever home in Christ.  SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/299

#299: Can I Build a Strong and Beautiful Life? With Anh Lin

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? What do you do to unwind? What’s your favorite smell or sound?  These are just a few of the questions we were asked as we sat around the bistro table in Plant City, Florida at a Fresh Grounded Faith event. Author and podcaster Annie F. Downs and singer-songwriter Laura Story were with me, and these women gave so much insight and inspiration when we spilled the beans. We talked about the importance of hanging out with a small group, how I preserve memories when I can’t see pictures, and if you have to be an extrovert to go into ministry. Plus, we were asked about how to deal with disappointment when a deep longing remains unfulfilled, as well as how to show yourself grace when you feel like a failure. This conversation was deep and wise, encouraging and fun, and it would be even better if you joined us. So pull up your chair at the bistro, and let’s spill some beans.

#298: Spill the Beans LIVE with Annie F. Downs and Laura Story [Fresh Grounded Faith Plant City, FL]

With each wave of resistance in life, it can be so tempting to simply give up—to quit the calling, to leave the relationship, to walk away from all the dreams God may have placed on your heart. But according to today’s guest, Pastor Nick Connolly, God hasn’t let go of you, so you do not want to let go either. Nick will help you choose persistence in the face of resistance, find renewed energy and faith, and confidently pursue the promise of who God made you to be. Plus, he’ll get real practical about how you can outlast discouragement and discover a resilience you never thought was possible. So, don’t give up yet! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/297
