Welcome back to Resident Strangers! In this week’s conversation, we welcome a new voice to the table—Hailey Keller—and say “see you later” to our amazing co-host Sarah as she begins maternity leave.
This episode dives deep into a powerful topic: the Sabbath – how we should navigate and honor it in our own context. In Exodus, God commands us to remember the Sabbath day, the seventh day of the week, and keep it holy. He set an example for us by also resting on the seventh day of creation. However, as believers, people often question whether we are still bound by the Old Testament law. What kind of work should we stop doing on the sabbath, especially with technology begging for our attention? Is practicing the sabbath simply going to church on Sunday? What about rest – what does it look like and how do we do it correctly? The team uncovers how to grapple with these questions and suggests practical ways to practice keeping the sabbath and resting with intention. As you begin to implement the sabbath and rest in your life, remember to have grace with yourself if you make a mistake or don’t do it perfectly. God created the sabbath as a gift to give us rest, joy, and peace, not to be a legalistic rule for us. Whether you’re new to the idea of Sabbath or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode offers both biblical insight and real-life application.

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.
