  1. Why the Trinity Matters to Your Relationships with Liz Daye

    Season 1, Episode 9

    Show notes

    The Trinity may seem like a complicated doctrine about who God is, but what if it actually has something important to say about how we can relate to others?

    In this conversation, chaplain and theologian Liz Daye shares what the Trinity can teach you about your everyday relationships. Because when you understand the relational nature of God, you get a clearer picture of what a healthy, flourishing community can look like.

    Liz unpacks the mystery of the Trinity to show you the beauty of belonging to God's family. She explains how the Trinity is a template for relating to one another and how it can move us from an isolated, individualistic faith toward a faith that is deeply connected to the people God has placed around us.

  2. How To Do Relationships Like Jesus with Wayne Francis

    Season 1, Episode 8

    Show notes

    Did you know friendship isn't just a social add-on or an emotional luxury? It's part of God's blueprint for life. So how do you build meaningful relationships in a world where we're more relationally disconnected than ever?

    Pastor and speaker Wayne Francis joins me to explore how Jesus modeled friendship—and what His example can teach us about doing relationships well.

    Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and years of ministry in New York City, Pastor Wayne explains why meaningful friendship requires vulnerability—which can sound very scary, especially if you fear rejection, struggle to trust, or want to stay in control. But when your security and identity are rooted in Christ, it's not as risky as you may think.

    We talk about what it takes to move beyond surface-level connections, how to take the first step toward deeper friendship, and why vulnerability is worth the risk—even when it feels uncomfortable. So settle in, and let's learn how to do relationships like Jesus.

  3. When Your Answered Prayer Is Not What You Expected with Melissa Miller

    Season 1, Episode 7

    Show notes

    Have you ever thought, "This is what I prayed for—so why am I struggling with it?" Maybe your prayer was answered, but now you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or even sad. It can be confusing, right?

    Well, be encouraged, my friend, because today, author Melissa Miller helps us understand why living in God's "yes" can sometimes be harder than we expected.

    Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, and her own experience, Melissa explains why blessings can be both beautiful and difficult at the same time. She'll help you put words to what you're experiencing and see that just because you're struggling doesn't mean you're ungrateful or shouldn't feel the way you do.

    So, if you're living in a season you once prayed for but wondering why it feels so hard, listen in. You may discover that the mess doesn't mean something has gone wrong—it may simply mean you're still learning how to live in the blessing.

  4. Why Christianity Is Still Relevant with Dr. Alister E. McGrath

    Season 1, Episode 6

    Show notes

    What if we haven't gotten Christianity wrong—but haven't fully appreciated it for all it's worth? That's what we're exploring today with Dr. Alister E. McGrath, a renowned Christian scholar, Oxford professor, author, and former atheist.

    After sharing his journey from atheism to faith, Dr. McGrath explains how Christianity isn't just true; it can profoundly transform our lives. Because it isn't just an idea to believe; it's a reality to experience.

    And even though it's more than 2,000 years old, Christianity can still speak powerfully to the human heart, addressing many of life's biggest questions, such as "Who am I? What am I worth? What's my purpose? And what can I do?"

    So, if your faith has become all too familiar—or if you're wondering if what you believe is even relevant—listen in! This conversation will give you a fresh perspective and help you see what a difference Christianity can make.

  5. Where Are You Now, God? with Tammy Trent

    Season 1, Episode 5

    Show notes

    What do you do when life doesn't turn out the way you hoped—and you're left wondering, "Where are You, God?"

    Singer-songwriter, author, and my friend, Tammy Trent, knows that question personally. When a devastating tragedy struck, Tammy had to grieve not only what she had lost, but also release the life she thought she would have. It wasn't easy, but as she walked through her deep pain and loss, she learned to trust God's presence and character.

    So today, Tammy gives us biblical insight and practical tools for facing the hard questions we all ask in seasons of pain and disappointment. We talk about navigating unmet expectations and unanswered prayers, grieving without losing hope, and finding the strength to endure when life feels impossible.

    If you've ever felt like God is silent, distant, or nowhere to be found in the middle of your pain, Tammy will remind you that your questions don't disqualify your faith—and that you are never alone.

  6. Developing Emotional Endurance with Leslie M. Bosserman

    Season 1, Episode 4

    Show notes

    What if the hard things in your life aren't just something to get through—but opportunities to grow stronger on the other side?

    In this episode, Leslie Bosserman and I talk about emotional endurance: what it is, why it matters to your faith, and how you can develop it even when you're not fully aware of your emotions. Leslie teaches you how to build your emotional muscles so you can face challenges and persevere through setbacks and disappointment.

    Plus, Leslie will teach you to "Say Goodbye to Someday," a skill that will help you stop living in the shoulds, coulds, and somedays and start asking what God might be doing in you right now.

    So, if you're facing a difficult season, feeling stretched too thin, or simply want to be prepared for whatever comes next, this conversation will give you practical tools to keep going, keep growing, and trust God with the process.

  7. What if You Prayed the Same Prayer Every Day? with Matt Smallbone

    Season 1, Episode 3

    Show notes

    Praying the same prayer every day might sound repetitive or rigid, but when Pastor Matt Smallbone made the radical decision to pray the Lord's Prayer every day for a year, it changed much more than his prayer routine. It changed his daily walk with God.

    In this episode, Matt talks about his "prayer experiment," sharing what he discovered about the barriers that keep us from prayer, how the Lord's Prayer gives us a framework without becoming a formula, and what he would say to those who feel reluctant or discouraged about prayer.

    And then… we're not just going to talk about prayer; we're going to pray together as worship leader and songwriter Michael O'Brien sings over us the Lord's Prayer.

    So, if you're wondering whether you're praying the "right" way, struggling to pray consistently, or questioning whether your prayers really make a difference, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

    ***

    THE LORD'S PRAYER

    Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

  9. Uncomplicating Adult Children Relationships with Dr. Kathy Koch

    Season 1, Episode 2

    Show notes

    What do you do when your relationship with your adult child isn't what you hoped it would be?

    Maybe your child is struggling and you want to help, but your advice comes across as criticism. Maybe you disagree with their parenting choices, worry because they've walked away from the faith, or feel heartbroken because they've cut off contact altogether.

    In this conversation, Dr. Kathy Koch offers biblical wisdom and practical help for navigating these complicated relationships.

    You'll discover how your relationship with your children needs to change as they become adults, what heart posture to have toward them, and how to communicate in ways that build connection instead of conflict. Dr. Kathy also shares specific things to avoid saying when you're trying to coach an adult child, along with a few communication hacks to help you relate to them more effectively.

    Whether you're frustrated, discouraged, or grieving a relationship that isn't what you thought it would be, this conversation will remind you that there is still hope—and that you can love your adult children well, even when the relationship is hard.

  10. Courage for Ordinary People with Max Lucado

    Season 1, Episode 1

    Show notes

    Elijah's story is filled with dramatic miracles, courageous faith, and unforgettable moments. But if you look a little closer, you'll find someone who isn't all that different from you!

    He knew fear. He experienced exhaustion. He wrestled with discouragement. And in between the extraordinary moments, there were long seasons of ordinary, faithful obedience.

    So in this first episode of the Jennifer Rothschild Show, best-selling author Max Lucado joins me to explore what Elijah's life can teach us about facing fear with faith, praying boldly, and trusting God through both the extraordinary and the ordinary.

    You'll discover what courage really is (and what it isn't), why the power of prayer has always been in the God who hears us—not the one who prays—and how to live with an expectation of divine disruption while faithfully serving God in the everyday. Because the same God who strengthened Elijah is faithful to strengthen you too… no matter what season you're in!

  11. BONUS: What You Didn't Know About Jennifer [Part 2] Bonus

    Show notes

    Last week, KC caught me off guard with a series of thoughtful questions I never saw coming. Well... we're back with Part 2!

    In this episode, our conversation continues as KC asks who I really am when the microphone is off, what might surprise you about my walk with God, whether I'm really as confident as I seem, which biblical figure I'd most want to share a cup of coffee with, and the one thing I hope every listener knows about God.

    By the end of our conversation, I was reminded how valuable it is to simply sit down with someone over a cup of coffee and ask meaningful questions. Because the more we learn about each other, the more we learn about ourselves—and ultimately, the more we learn about God.

    So after you listen, I hope you'll do just that. Grab a friend, pour a cup of coffee, and maybe even borrow a few of KC's questions. You never know what you might discover!

    Show notes

    I get asked questions all the time, but I was caught off guard when KC turned the mic back on and started asking some thoughtful (and surprising!) questions… about ME!

    I had no idea what was coming, and honestly, I didn't even know some of my own answers until I said them out loud. But it was so much fun that I thought you might enjoy listening in.

    In Part 1 of our conversation, KC asked about my best life hack of all time, what people often assume about me that's completely wrong, who has shaped my faith more than anyone else, and what I hope every woman remembers long after she reads one of my books or attends one of my events.

    But that's not all… KC had plenty more questions, and we just couldn't fit them all into one episode!

    So be sure to join me next week for Part 2, where we talk about who I am when the microphone is off, what might surprise you about my walk with God, whether I'm really as confident as I seem, and the one thing I hope every listener knows about God.

    You've laughed with Tim Hawkins for years—but today, you get to meet the man behind the comedy.

    In episode 413 of the 4:13 Podcast (wink!), Tim shares the story behind his journey into comedy, the failures that shaped him, and what he's learned about making people laugh. And (spoiler alert!) it's not about being witty or delivering the perfect punchline.

    You'll also find out how he decides which jokes become part of his routines (including his popular song parodies), which topics don't make the cut, and how his family feels about becoming part of the act.

    But more importantly, you'll get to hear Tim's heart. He's clever, thoughtful, and passionate about using the gifts God has given him well. Because, as C.S. Lewis says, "joy is the serious business of Heaven," and it should be at the heart of how we live out our calling.

  18. Can I Stop Emotional Hoarding? With Laurie Davies

    Episode 410

    Show notes

    Have you ever heard of emotional hoarding? It's when we not only carry the emotional baggage that weighs us down—we stockpile it, nurture it, and refuse to let it go.

    So, today on the 4:13, author Laurie Davies explains how unresolved emotions can quietly affect our relationships, our spiritual lives, and even our physical health. She unpacks the hidden dangers of holding on to emotions like worry, regret, dread, and bitterness—and why they can become so familiar that we don't even recognize their hold on us.

    But Laurie doesn't just help you identify the clutter. She'll show you how to clear it!

    You'll learn how to uncover the root of what's keeping you stuck, process those harmful emotions instead of possessing them, and get on the path to freedom.

    It's time to toss out the emotional weight that adds no value to your life and move from hoarding to healing.

    Episode 408

    Show notes

    Suffering. Grief. Disappointment. Loss. Any one of these can shake us to our core. So how are we supposed to trust God when everything seems to go wrong?

    On this episode, Anne Graham Lotz (daughter of Billy Graham) and her daughter, Rachel-Ruth Lotz Wright, walk through the story of Joseph—a man who experienced betrayal, false accusation, and unfair circumstances that turned his life upside down.

    So how did Joseph remain steadfast in his faith?

    Anne and Rachel-Ruth explain how God's presence brings peace even in life's deepest pits. You'll discover why suffering is never wasted and how God uses even our hardest seasons to guide us, grow us, and bring about His greater purpose.
