In this rapidly moving world, we often find ourselves forced to make high-stakes decisions in our homes, businesses, and ministries before all the information is in.
In our desire to make the “right” decision, the pressure is high, and anxiety runs deep.
Thankfully, there’s an alternative that’s even better than providing the “perfect” answer.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn how to disrupt the cycle of anxiety and open a path for clearer thinking, collaboration, and ultimately, wiser decisions.
💡Today’s Big Idea: Be the non-anxious presence in that pressured problem-solving process.
⚡️Today’s Small Step: Choose one sure promise of God’s presence, and when you feel anxiety rising, instead of focusing on the problem, turn your focus to 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.
