Summary
In a world that’s hyper-focused on hustle and productivity, many of us have been taught that our worth is tied to what we do. But what if being is more valuable than doing?
Today on the 4:13, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith—physician, spiritual mentor, and coach—shares how to embrace a life rooted not in performance but in stillness, rest, and your God-given identity. With warmth and wisdom, she offers both scientific insight and biblical truth to help you separate the worth of what you do from the infinite worth of who you are.
You’ll discover the connection between mental clarity and stillness, practical ways to build a “rest ethic,” and how to break the cycle of doing. Plus, you’ll learn how to recognize the warning signs of fear-based living so you can find the courage to be vulnerable and take risks.
If you've ever struggled to rest or to stop proving yourself, this conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that you are already fully known, deeply loved, and free to just “be.”
