Hey Sis! šŸŽ™ļø

Today’s episode is a call to step back from the noise of vanity and return our gaze to God’s beauty. We’re reflecting on Psalm 37:5–9 and Psalm 27:4, leaning into the truth that our worth isn’t found in comparison or outward appearances, but in who God created us to be. Together, we’ll walk through Day 6 of Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It’s Not All About You by Sharon Hodde Miller, uncovering how even good things—like our appearance—can become consuming when misplaced. We’ll also explore how vanity shows up in subtle ways for believers, from overspending and comparison to seeking validation outside of Christ, and how to realign our hearts with God’s vision for our lives. If you’ve ever struggled with insecurities or felt distracted by the pressure to measure up, this conversation will help you find freedom in God’s reminder: you are good because He declared it so.

šŸŽ§ Listen in, and don’t forget to grab the journal prompt to help you stay rooted in faith this week.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
