If you’ve ever felt like you’re swimming upstream—trying to force your quiet time, creativity, or productivity into a box that just doesn’t fit—you’re not alone.
In this episode, we’re exploring how to align our schedules with our God-given design instead of pushing against the current of how we naturally work best.
You’ll hear:
-
Why the classic “quiet time first thing in the morning” doesn’t work for everyone
-
How God might actually be inviting you to reimagine your rhythms—not abandon your practices
-
What neuroscience says about circadian rhythms, mental energy, and the brain’s “Goldilocks zones” for different types of work
-
A freeing reminder that Jesus didn’t stick to a rigid schedule – and you don’t have to either
Plus, a few practical, grace-filled questions to help you sketch out your own ideal rhythm—and permission to experiment, adapt, and walk in step with the pace of grace.
💡Today’s Big Idea: Align your time with your God-given design.
⚡️Today’s Small Step: Sketch out an ideal week that feels like a delight—then give it a try!

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.
