Have you ever been deeply moved by a sermon, podcast, or retreat, only to forget the main point a few days later?
You are not alone. Studies show that most people forget 90 percent of a sermon within 48 hours.
The good news is that God is not surprised by our forgetfulness. He lovingly planned for it and built a grace-paced way for us to absorb and live out His truth.
In this episode, we explore why insight alone is not enough to bring lasting change. We also look at how God, through both Scripture and neuroscience, invites us into rhythms that help His truth sink in and stay with us.
Here is what you will hear in today’s episode:
-
Why powerful insights tend to fade over time
-
What actually leads to transformation in real life
-
How our brains are wired to change through practice, not just awareness
-
Four simple spiritual rhythms that help us hold onto what matters most
-
An invitation to return to what God has already said and let it shape us again this summer
💡Today’s Big Idea: True change comes from repetition, not just realization.
⚡️Today’s Small Step: Join me this summer for our encore episodes. Together, we will give grace the space to do what it does best—shape us gently from the inside out.

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.
