Summary
In this episode of The Soul Care Podcast, Jinda and Kimmy are joined once again by our resident soul-care expert Warren Lamb, who explores the intersection of trauma, biblical counseling, and mental health. They discuss how biblical counseling approaches trauma differently from mainstream psychology, emphasizing the normalcy of trauma responses and the importance of understanding suffering through a scriptural lens. The conversation highlights key biblical principles for healing, the role of identity in recovery, and practical strategies for trauma survivors. Warren shares insights on how trauma impacts faith and perception of God, and they conclude with a discussion on the future of biblical counseling in addressing trauma.

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.
