In this week’s episode, we step into Stephen’s powerful defense before the Sanhedrin as he weaves together Israel’s early history to show that true worship of God long predated Moses, the Law, and even the Temple itself. You’ll hear how Stephen quotes Amos 5:25–27 to draw a bold parallel between Israel’s idolatrous ancestors—who worshiped the golden calf, Molech, and the “star of their god Rephan”—and his own contemporaries, who had elevated the Law and the Temple into hollow religious trappings.
We then follow Stephen as he reminds his listeners of the Tabernacle—God’s movable dwelling among the people through the wilderness and into the Promised Land—and how even David and Solomon’s magnificent Temple never confined the presence of the Most High. Drawing on prophetic passages from Isaiah, Stephen drives home the unforgettable truth that “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool” (Acts 7:49), challenging us to consider where—and how—we truly seek God today.

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.
