We’re celebrating a big one - Episode 30 of Sermons on the Side

It’s our 3rd roundtable discussion and our 2nd remote interview, this time with a longtime friend and pastor from New York, Jay Cookingham. Jay has been a friend of Richard’s for decades, and his life and ministry have been marked by a deep passion for seeing men embrace God as their true Father and step fully into their sonship in Him. 

In this conversation, Jay shares about his years of involvement in men’s ministry, the heart behind helping men live out their true identity in Christ, and the transformative power that comes when we truly believe God delights in us as His children. We also open the door to an honest and vulnerable conversation about grief; Jay lost his wife of 37 years nearly six years ago, and he’s been walking that journey with the comfort and guidance of the Father’s heart ever since. 

It’s a rich mix of encouragement, real-life wisdom, and faith-filled perspective. Whether you’re navigating your own season of loss or simply want to deepen your understanding of God as Father, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

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.
