In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I am thrilled to wrap up our month-long series on the gifts of the Holy Spirit and their application in the business world. Today, we focus on the often-overlooked gifts that fuel operations—specifically, the gifts of administration, helps and serving, and discernment.
I begin by emphasizing the critical role that structure plays in the success of any business. Many entrepreneurs possess the gifts of influence, sales, vision, and strategy, but they often lack the administrative skills necessary to maintain and grow their ventures. This episode serves as a shout-out to the unsung heroes of the marketplace—administrators and those who keep businesses running smoothly.
Take a moment to reach out to the admins around you and let them know how valuable they are today!

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.
