Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a reminder that even in the middle seasons of life—the hardest parts where we’re tested, stretched, and tempted to give up—God is with us and strengthening us. We begin our study of 2 Corinthians 4:16–18, where Paul reminds us not to lose heart because our inward renewal far outweighs our outward struggles. This truth anchors us as we dive into Christine Caine’s devotional You’re Not Finished Yet with a focus on endurance for “the middle.”
Together, we’ll reflect on how the stories of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the reminder in Hebrews 10 about patient endurance, and Isaiah 40’s promise of renewed strength all point us to this truth: the middle may be the most challenging part of the journey, but it’s also where God builds in us the strength to finish well. If you’ve been feeling weary, worn, or ready to quit, this episode will encourage you to keep running your race with faith, endurance, and confidence that you don’t walk the middle alone.

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.
