What if the most meaningful moments of your year weren’t the big milestones—but the ordinary ones you almost missed? In this special bonus episode, I’m inviting you to slow down, pay attention, and look at life differently.
As we flip through some of my favorite “audio pictures” from 2025, I’m bringing you into my world to show you how everyday moments can become sacred memories when we choose to notice them.
Come along as I take you on a journey through Ireland. But there’s no passport required for this trip because in this special BONUS episode, we’re going there with our ears.
Instead of sharing photos, I’m sharing “audio pictures”—the recordings I make to capture the moments around me. As someone who is blind, these little audio snapshots help me revisit memories without being able to see them, and today, you’ll get to experience them with me.
Have you ever experienced a “blue flower moment?” Not likely, right? That’s not a phrase you hear every day!
Well, after listening to this very special BONUS episode of the 4:13, you’ll not only recall the blue flower moments you’ve already experienced, you’ll also be able to recognize them all the time.
But first, let me explain what a blue flower moment is…
As we kick off this new year, we’re beginning with the end in mind! And to be clear, I’m talking about our ultimate end … in Heaven, which is our glorious unending.
We’re jumping all the way to Heaven because this is a very special day for me! Today is when my newest Bible study called Heaven: When Faith Becomes Sight releases. Woohoo!
But before we begin with the end in mind, let’s begin at the beginning of my attempt to write Heaven. I thought it would be fun for you to go behind the scenes of the writing process so you can see how the Lord carried me and this project along, and how—in a similar sense—He carries you along too.
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.
Happy New Year, 4:13ers! Are you ready to start 2024?
Well, as 2023 comes to a close, I’ve been looking back—or I guess I should say I’ve been listening back—through my audio pictures from this past year. And girl, I found so many moments for which I’m super thankful.
