As we read today’s text, we’ll see that God called the messenger, but when God called the messenger, the messenger refused the call. Jonah rejected the call of God on his life. But as messed up as that may be, Jonah did something even worse. You see, Jonah didn’t just reject the incoming call from God and send it to voicemail. No. He answered the phone. He heard God’s voice on the other line. He received clear instructions from God on what He was supposed to do next, and yet, because of his selfishness, his bias, and his personal rebellion, he chose to hang up the phone and run in the opposite direction of where God was instructing him to go. Thankfully, Jonah eventually came to repentance, and we can learn from his life story as we dive deeper into it.

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.
