When life gives you lemons… Jesus can make LEMONADE! In this uplifting episode of Family Vision, Rob Rienow welcomes special guests Micah Yoder and Bailey Gillen—worship leaders from Gull Lake Ministries and members of the band The Figs—to share the inspiring story behind their hit song “Lemonade” with artist Forrest Frank.
Recorded fresh off a week of family camp, this conversation begins with the heart of worship: helping entire families sing together and experience God’s presence across generations. Micah and Bailey share how seeing parents and children worship side-by-side can transform a family’s spiritual culture.
Then, you’ll hear the miracle story of “Lemonade”—how a playful songwriting project, a skateboarding accident, and an unexpected Instagram connection turned into a #1 song on iTunes, encouraging millions to trust Jesus in hard times. The lyrics carry a deep message of Romans 8 hope: God works all things for good for those who love Him.

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.
