In a world that often celebrates going it alone and sings the constant mantra “I am enough,” the life of Jesus presents a striking contrast. Unlike the stories of solitary success we’re so used to hearing, Jesus, the embodiment of God’s perfection, lived a life of complete dependence on God. He invites us to embrace this same path, showing us that true strength is found not in independence, but in trusting fully in God.
In today’s episode, we will explore the beautiful, countercultural call that Jesus offers us. We’ll look into five practical ways we can live out this call to depend on God, following Jesus’s example. This discussion is more than just theory; it’s an invitation to experience the richness of life that comes from walking closely with God, replacing the “I can handle it all” attitude with a heart that says, “God is my strength.”
Join us as we delve into how Jesus’s invitation challenges the norms of our society and guides us toward a life of deeper fulfillment and connection with God. This episode promises to be a journey into understanding how embracing dependence on God can transform our lives, offering peace and purpose in the midst of a world that often values going it alone.
💡Today’s Big Idea: We are not enough, and that’s good news. God invites us to delight in depending on Him.
⚡️Today’s Small Step: Ask the Father to show you one specific area of your life where He is inviting you to become more dependent on 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.
