What if the most sacred moments with God didn’t come in quiet perfection—but in chaotic surrender? In this deeply honest and hope-filled episode, we’re joined by Cathy Colver Garland, co-author of Revelationship: Transformative Intimacy With Christ and creator of the blog Gracefull Musings. As a former COO turned Spirit-filled mentor for moms and women, she shares how her journey through pain, deconstruction, and unexpected surrender led to a more intimate, real relationship with God.
We explore what it means to practice the presence of God in the everyday chaos of motherhood, grief, and rebuilding. With personal stories that include divorce, miscarriages, and breaking her neck (twice!), Cathy reminds us that God reveals Himself not in spite of our pain—but through it.
This episode isn’t about formulas or religious performance—it’s about real relationship. It’s an invitation to say “yes” to a God who is already pursuing you.

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.
