Today Sharon digs deep into the lessons of overcoming life's big things--projects, obstacles, challenges, and, yes, even, or especially, trials. Sometimes these "things" look so big that we avoid taking them on. Then come the trials that don't give us a choice, we have to respond. Forget about taking a bite, we are just trying not to get trampled. I know you have been there too.
God is the answer. We cannot overcome all "things" on our own. Some things are just too hard and more than we can handle. The Bible is full of stories where things happened that were bigger and harder than the characters of the Bible could conquer on their own. God stepped in over and over--with David and Goliath, with the Children of Israel and the Red Sea standoff, the Jonah inside the belly of the big fish, just to name a few.
God is faithful and when we can't, He always can. Rely on Him. Lean into Him. God's grace can always be found in the wilderness when we search for it. How do you eat an elephant? With God's help ... one bite at a time.

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.
