Summary
In a noisy, fast-paced world, quiet can feel out of reach—like it’s a luxury reserved only for the super-spiritual, the ultra-disciplined, or those with endless free time. But quiet is, and always has been, at the heart of every single person, and it’s essential to our spiritual life and growth.
So today on the 4:13, author Sarah Clarkson is back with a powerful reminder: quiet is not about the absence of noise or distraction—it’s an orientation of the heart.
Sarah will invite you to discover the profound impact of resisting hurry and cultivating a life of holy attention. Plus, she’ll teach you how small, practical shifts in your daily habits and mindset can lead to a richer, more present way of living.
I promise you are not too busy to embrace this. You’re too busy NOT to! So take a deep breath, and let’s reclaim quiet together.
