How can we recognize the qualities that signal an intervention is built to last?
In this episode, we continue our exploration of Intervention by unpacking the confirmatory criteria — elements that often point to strong, enduring programs, even if they aren’t present everywhere. We look at how these indicators help us discern where generosity can produce meaningful, sustainable change.
In this episode, we explore:
Gospel integration — how the gospel influences leadership, organizational culture, and ministry practice.
Collaboration — the multiplying power of organizations working together through partnerships or specialized networks.
Replicability — understanding whether a solution can be scaled or adapted across diverse settings.
Innovation — how learning and adaptation keep interventions effective over time.
Seeing these qualities equips us to give with confidence, focusing our support where impact and mission grow hand in hand.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
