Life has a way of throwing us into seasons we never saw coming—career changes, shifting relationships, or even that vague sense that what used to work just doesn’t anymore. In these moments, it’s easy to feel disoriented, like success is slipping further and further out of reach. But what if these unsettling moments are actually fertile ground for something beautiful? Today on the 4:13, Levi Lusko talks about how to navigate these spiraling seasons with faith and courage. He shares honest stories, biblical wisdom, and practical rhythms to help you pause, gain perspective, and discover that even the hardest transitions can become blessings in disguise. You’ll discover how new seasons require new strategies, why growth often comes through struggle, and how to give yourself grace along the way. So, whether you’re in your twenties and questioning your direction, or you’re well into your golden years and wondering what’s next, this conversation will help you trade in those old definitions of success and embrace the circumstances that don’t yet make sense.

#367: Can I Be Transformed by God’s Word? With Dan Jacobsen
Wouldn’t you like to not only understand God’s Word, but also let it transform you by the power of the Holy Spirit? Oh friend, me too! So today, we have Pastor Dan Jacobsen with us, and he is going to unpack how this is possible. But first, you should know there’s something really special about this… Years ago, Dan unearthed an unpublished manuscript tucked away in a dusty manila folder that belonged to his grandfather, the legendary Bible teacher Warren Wiersbe! Dan finished the work his grandfather started, and the result is a beautiful new devotional and this inspiring conversation. Dan not only gives us the inside scoop on his grandfather’s life and ministry, but he also shares insights on why real change matters (no matter your age) and how you can stop settling for superficial fixes and start embracing true, Spirit-led transformation.

#366: Can I Choose Sabbath? With Travis West
In the fast-paced, overly scheduled cadence of our culture, it can be hard to fit in Sabbath. But what if Sabbath isn’t designed to fit into our busy lives? What if it’s supposed to take over our lives? Hebrew scholar and Old Testament professor Travis West is here to help you radically reimagine what it means to Sabbath! And contrary to popular belief, it’s not just about taking a day off or creating a list of rules. It’s about establishing a rhythm of life that reorders everything. By looking to Scripture and applying lots of grace, Travis explains how Sabbath draws boundaries around your stress and busyness to make space for rest, delight, connection, and joy. You'll hear how Sabbath can transform your relationship with time, why work shouldn’t always come before play, and how simple, intentional practices can reorient your days toward the life God actually intends for you. So, if you're tired of exhaustion being your default setting, listen in! This conversation is your invitation to embrace Sabbath—not as a rule, but as a rescue.

#364: Can I Reclaim Quiet? With Sarah Clarkson
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 an orientation of the heart. Sarah will invite you to discover the profound impact of resisting hurry and cultivating a life of holy attention. Plus, she’ll teach you how small, practical shifts in your daily habits and mindset can lead to a richer, more present way of living. I promise you are not too busy to embrace this. You’re too busy NOT to! So take a deep breath, and let’s reclaim quiet together. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/364 Enter to win the GIVEAWAY and read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.
