Empathy is often misunderstood, even maligned. But the truth is—it’s one of the most powerful ways to experience healthier emotions and stronger relationships. True empathy isn’t about coddling or rescuing; it’s about understanding and care that respects God’s truth and empowers personal responsibility.
A recent study found that over 40 million adults grapple with some form of anxiety or worry. Chances are, this includes you or someone you love. But don’t we all find ourselves worrying from time to time? I know I do!
So, what’s really causing our worry? And how do we know when our legitimate concerns cross the line into worry?
Well, today on the 4:13, Pastor Jonny Ardavanis gets honest about the underlying issues with worry and where we ultimately find our hope: in the character of God.

“The peace we long for begins with coming to the end of ourselves.” Those words are from today’s 4:13 guest, Dr. Joel Muddamalle, and on today’s episode, he’ll explain how humility is the missing piece we’re looking for to find the security, strength, and confidence we all need.
He’ll help us understand biblical humility—what it is and what it’s not—by breaking down the theology of humility into bite-sized takeaways. Plus, he’ll clarify what it means to have a balanced self-awareness and explain how humility actually serves as an antidote to shame.
