Have you ever noticed that even when your body is still, your mind is still racing? Worry, distractions, and endless to-do lists often crowd out the quiet we long for—and can make prayer feel impossible.

Today on the 4:13, Levi Lusko talks about how to navigate these...

Conflict. Division. Disagreements. Whether it’s with a neighbor, a co-worker, a friend—or even a stranger—navigating relationships isn’t always easy. Yet somehow, we’re called to love our neighbor. 

But what does that even mean? And how does it show up when relationships are so complicated?

In a noisy, fast-paced world, quiet can feel out of reach—like it’s a luxury reserved only for the super-spiritual, the ultra-disciplined, or those with endless free time. But quiet is, and always has been, at the heart of every single person, and it’s essential to our spiritual life and growth.

So today on the 4:13, author Sarah Clarkson is back with a powerful reminder: quiet is not about the absence of noise or distraction—it’s ...

We’re all just trying to get through life in this messed-up world, and whether we realize it or not, we all go looking for a “fix” to help us cope with the pain, uncertainties, or difficulties we face. 

Sometimes those fixes seem harmless, and other times, they spiral into habits we can’t break.

So, today on the 4:13, best-selling author, psychotherapist, and Enneagram expert Ian Morgan Cron will challenge the way you think about a...

Well, if you’ve ever wondered these things, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

Everyone longs for love—especially God’s love—even if they don’t realize it yet. So, why is it so hard to tell others about the love of God?
