In this episode Tony explores the mystery of the Incarnation - the mysterious reality that God became a man, and made his dwelling among us.
God became one of us, and the little baby in the manger - Jesus - was incomprehensibly 100% God and 100% human at the very same time.
But this profound mystery isn't just theology for us to believe in our head.
It's reality that makes all the difference in our hearts and lives.
It's the reality that God is with us that creates the possiblity that our lives can be truly different.
It's the reality that God is with us that creates the possibility that a man who's struggling with an addiction to pornography can truly change into a new and different man.
What do you think the chances of true and lasting change would be if God wasn't with us?
When we're confused... God is with us!
When we're struggling... God is with us!
When we're depressed... God is with us!
When we're discouraged... God is with us!
When we feel weak... God is with us!
And when we're strugglng with pornography, or any kind of compulsive sexual behavior... God is with us!
In this episode Tony shares 3 very powerful scriptures that affirm the reality that...
God is with us!
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). Matthew 1:23
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. John 1:1,14
5 The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:5-7

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.
