"In this combined episode, we light the first two candles of Advent: Hope and Peace, exploring the rich history and deep spiritual significance of this cherished season. From its early development outside Rome in Spain and Gaul, Advent began as a liturgical period of preparation for the feast of the Epiphany. By the seventh century, it evolved into a time of waiting and expectancy for Christ's return in glory.
We'll reflect on hope (yakhal), the confident expectation of God's promises, using scriptures like Romans 8:24-25 and Isaiah 9:2-7. We’ll also delve into shalom, the profound peace Christ brings, looking at passages like John 14:27 and Isaiah 26:3. Learn how these timeless themes, rooted in Advent’s history, can bring light to your heart and home this season.
Discover how the Advent wreath, a tradition with origins in pre-Christian rituals, became a Christian symbol of eternity and the light of Christ. Together, we’ll uncover ways to cultivate hope and peace amid the busyness of life, grounding our hearts in the anticipation of Christ’s presence."
This combined episode weaves the historical and spiritual elements of Advent with practical applications for life, helping listeners connect deeply with the themes of hope and peace.

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.
