According to the Scientific American, women are twice as likely as men to experience shame and are more affected by its toxic impact. Just as Adam and Eve hid in the garden and covered themselves with fig leaves, we too are inclined to hide under the cloak of shame. But unlike Adam and Eve, our feelings of shame don't necessarily mean we've done something wrong. Often it means we've begun to belie...

Scripture is meant to reveal God to us, but sometimes it's hard for us to see Him there. What if all you needed was a new lens? We often look to the Bible for advice on how to live, but when that becomes our focus, we may miss the point of Scripture: to reveal God and His character to us . On this episode of the  4:13 , trusted Bible teacher and podcaster, Tara-Leigh Cobble, will sharpen our view...

Everyone experiences emotions—some easy, some difficult. And even though emotions are a normal part of life, dealing with them can be quite challenging.

Dr. Mark Mayfield joins me on the podcast to help you slow down and explore the ways your emo...

Today we are going to embrace our inner donkey. That's because so many of us feel like donkeys in a world that celebrates racehorses. You know, the shiny and flashy success stories that make us question our own worth and abilities. But life isn't about competing for gold medals. It's about discovering our own mettle—understanding our unique strengths and using them to mine all the gold that God al...

What do you do when your own mind turns on you? Fear, anxiety, and the critical voices in your head can be overwhelming, even if you know Christ died to free you from those things. Well, according to today's guest, Jeff Peabody, what you do is put on the armor of God. Today we'll explore the armor of God through the lens of personal struggle, showing how the ancient metaphor for God's care is powe...

This Spill the Beans is coming to you LIVE from Fresh Grounded Faith in Jackson, Mississippi with Lysa TerKeurst and Michael O'Brien.

Whether we're trying to find time, save time, manage time, or make the most of our time, one word often shows up when we're talking about time: anxiety. But, if we want to experience freedom from time anxiety, we have to reimagine our relationship with time itself. Today's guest, author Jen Pollock Michel, will teach you that time is not something to manage, save, spend, or waste. She'll explain h...

Shame is to the soul what cancer is to the body. It eats away at our self-esteem, erodes our relationships, and keeps us from moving forward in life. In fact, toxic shame is often what drives addictions, anxieties, and depression. But the good news is that freedom is possible. And that's what we're exploring today with author Dr. Gregory Jantz. He'll weave together reliable psychological principle...

In hard times, lots of us shy away from God, unsure of how to talk to Him about what we're feeling. But today, author and podcaster Suzanne Eller explains why prayer is not about the number of words that come out of your mouth or how eloquent you sound. It's about being in God's presence. Simply showing up. You'll learn some practical prayer starters based on Scripture that will unintimidate talki...

When life doesn't make sense, we often try to fix it, make sense of it, or change it. We wrestle, don't we? But what if we didn't have to understand it or do anything about it? What if we could trust that God knows, and since He knows, that's enough to turn our wrestling into resting? Today, author Lisa Whittle joins us to help you see behind the curtain of God's perfect knowledge. She makes a sol...
