How do we know which organizations or programs we are uniquely suited to partner with?
In this episode, we explore the final set of criteria in evaluating interventions: compatibility criteria. These focus on how our unique gifts, relationships, and God’s guidance position us to engage meaningfully with particular organizations or programs. Understanding compatibility helps us align our giving with both impact and personal calling.
In this episode, we explore:
Spiritual discernment: Recognizing God’s leading through spiritual fruit, scripture, the Holy Spirit, prayer, counsel, and circumstances.
Personal engagement: Identifying ways to invest beyond finances, using our time, talents, and influence to deepen impact.
Personal connection: Leveraging relationships with organizations to strengthen both our giving and their work while navigating tension between loyalty and effectiveness.
By reflecting on these criteria, we gain clarity on where our resources and gifts intersect with meaningful impact. When we partner with organizations in ways that align with God’s design for us, our generosity becomes both joyful and transformational.

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.
