Today on the 4:13, you’re going to see the Bible from the Garden to Glory!
Author and Bible teacher Courtney Doctor will show you how to read the Bible as one big, beautiful story—a true story that reveals all of creation’s past and future and places us in the middle of the “already” and “not yet.”
We often approach the Bible like an instruction manual for living our lives, reading it primarily with ourselves in mind and viewing it through the lens of our current culture. But what if we read Scripture differently—through the Middle Eastern lens in which the Bible was originally written and understood?
Well, today’s guest, professor and biblical culturalist Kristi McLelland, highlights the importance of the historical, cultural, geographic, and linguistic contexts of Scripture. She’ll explain how the Bible is a timeless, transformational story with one cohesive storyline, helping you make sense of what you’re reading.
This wasn’t part of the plan. My story wasn’t supposed to go this way. I didn’t sign up for this.
If you’ve ever had these thoughts, chances are your story has shifted in some unexpected way. Well, you aren’t alone, my friend, and rest assured that God is with you as you go down this new path.
Today, author Sarah Frazer will take you through the unexpected plot twists in the story of Moses to help you see that even when your life seems completely derailed, God’s plan still goes forth, His presence always provides, and His purpose prevails. And you can trust that God’s sovereignty is always connected to His goodness.
Today I’m “talking story” with the one and only Karen Kingsbury!
“Talking story” is a phrase I learned in Hawaii, and it’s when you have a casual conversation with someone. You know—hang out, shoot the breeze, and just tell stories.
Well, since Karen is one of the best storytellers I know who also happens to be a #1 New York Times best-selling author, I thought there’s no better person to “talk story” … about story!

Sometimes God‘s timing just does not make sense to us. When hard situations last way too long and our deepest prayers seem to go unanswered, we often wonder, “What is God doing?”
But thankfully, the Bible is full of people who have experienced the same thing. They had to learn to trust God‘s ways and His timing, and their stories can help us trust God too.
