The Unfiltered Faith Podcast
Welcome to The Unfiltered Faith Podcast — where we strip away the polished, picture-perfect version of Christianity and dive into the messy, beautiful reality of walking with Jesus. Each episode is a deep, unfiltered conversation about faith, mental health, spiritual warfare, and the everyday battles that Christians face. We talk about the hard questions — the ones that often go unspoken in church pews and prayer circles. Whether it’s battling anxiety, wrestling with doubt, overcoming shame, or wondering where God is when life hurts, we’re here for all of it. This podcast isn’t about pretending to have it all together. It’s about finding freedom in the truth, healing through honesty, and strength in scripture. We believe God can handle our questions, our pain, and even our silence. And here, we explore how the Gospel speaks to the rawest parts of our stories. What to Expect: Deep, scripture-based conversations grounded in truth. Topics that matter — mental health, spiritual warfare, healing, forgiveness, identity, and purpose. Encouragement for the brokenhearted, the doubting, and the weary. Occasional guest stories, biblical deep-dives, and practical life application. Whether you’re a long-time believer, a seeker, or someone hanging on by a thread, this space is for you. Because faith isn’t always pretty — but it’s always worth it. Come as you are. Let’s journey together — unfiltered.

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.
