Most of us are so used to notifications and alerts, pings and rings, that even if we don’t want to be on our phones so much, we don’t know how to change it. Yet the constant flow of information is actually harming our brains, relationships, and emotional well-being, even if we don’t realize it.
Today’s guest, author and podcaster Carlos Whittaker, made a radical decision to disconnect from screens for two whole months, and what he learned will blow you away!
On this episode of the 4:13, we’re diving into the joy-filled adventure of chasing whimsy. Have you ever heard that expression? It’s a way you can discover the uplifting, inspiring, and unexpected possibilities that await you every single day.
Bestselling author Bob Goff uses his signature storytelling and winsome take on life to reveal how whimsy isn’t just about enthusiasm—it’s a deeply purposeful way of living. It’s where intentionality meets curiosity, where interruptions become invitations, and where delight flips the script on your bad days.
Think about the way you feel when you see a sunset. Or think about other moments of beauty and peace that capture your heart—moments you sense are offering you a hint of Heaven. And what about the longing you feel when you experience homesickness or nostalgia?
It’s true these moments are meant to point you to eternity, but what if they could do more? What if they could help you live more fully on the way there?
Okay, I don’t mean to do it. Really. I just can’t help it.
It’s not because I am nosey that I eavesdrop … it’s because I’m blind! I can’t help that I hear really, really well.
Seriously, don’t whisper around me. My ears will hone in on whatever you are hoping I won’t hear. If you’re in a coffee shop at the table next to me, you better keep your voice down or you just may turn up in one of my blogs … just like this guy did.
