Have you ever tried to push your past under the rug, only to find it keeps resurfacing? In this episode of Diving Deeper into the Bible Journaling Podcast, we talk about why naming your wounds matters, how ignoring them affects our lives, and how God meets us in the honest places of our hearts.
I’ll share from my own journey—how naming my wounds gave me language to pray, helped me feel less alone, and opened the door for God’s healing. Together, we’ll look at Scripture, reflect on journaling prompts, and invite God into the places we’ve been tempted to overlook.
You don’t have to carry those hidden wounds anymore, friend. God is with you, and He is faithful to heal.

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.
