Dr. Nic and Prof. Mike uncover the truth about dreams and the devil. They expose how St. Jerome’s intended mistranslation shaped centuries of fear around dreams and reveal why dreams are actually a channel of divine guidance—not deception. Along the way, they share practical techniques to guard against negative influences while sleeping and explain how tracking your dreams can unlock deeper spiritual insight.
Dr. Nic and Prof. Mike explain the twofold nature of negative dream content: it can arise from the “little self” (our unresolved fears, ego, or shadow) or from deceptive external forces that attempt to influence us while we sleep. They offer practical tools for protecting the mind and spirit during rest, recognizing the source of dream messages, and developing the ability to consciously navigate and respond to what arises in dreams. By consistently tracking and engaging with our dreams, we can access deeper insight into our health, relationships, and spiritual path—and reclaim dreaming as a sacred space of divine connection.

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.
