Understanding Biblical Interpretation Through Language and Public Discipleship
Dr. Santiago explores the interpretation of biblical concepts through the lens of language evolution, shedding light on the importance of public discipleship. This episode navigates the themes of discipleship in the Book of Revelation, the concept of code-switching in communication, and how language impacts our understanding of gender roles. Additionally, the episode examines how different biblical translations influence contemporary perceptions of faith and identity.

Dr. Santiago discusses how misinterpretations can lead to misconceptions about roles and identities, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect and love over hierarchical dominance. The episode also explores the significance of foundational creedal statements, such as the Apostles Creed, in shaping one's new creation identity in Christianity.

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.
