We’ve been told that if we’re not constantly grinding, we’re falling behind. Hustle culture glorifies overworking, but at what cost?

I used to think I was making sacrifices, but I was actually losing myself—neglecting my health, skipping meals, and putting everything before my well-being. Then I asked myself:

Is God punishing me for doing too much? Or am I making work an idol?

On the first episode of Maven Talk, we’re breaking down:

  • How hustle culture is rooted in fear and lack
  • What the Bible actually says about rest
  • Why burnout isn’t a badge of honor
  • How to shift from hustle to healthy productivity

Even God rested. Even Jesus wasn’t in a rush.
 So why do we act like our work is more important than His?

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
