Our souls long for less of us and more of God. For less of this broken world and more of Jesus’ abundant life. Put simply… for revival.
So, today on the 4:13, author and podcaster Lisa Whittle shares the freedom that comes from surrendering to God—releasing your need for comfort, control, approval, and even blessings. You’ll see how offering everything to God brings the renewed spiritual vitality we all crave.
We may not have carved an image to worship lately, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have idols in our lives. Our idols are much more subtle.

The reason the number mattered to me was because I was basing my identity and acceptance on how many friends, shares, and comments I had on Facebook.
