For over two decades, Dan Rogers has served the congregation at River of Life Church in Hamilton, Georgia. While he never demanded that his two sons follow him into ministry, his son Braden found that calling on his own. With Father’s Day around the corner, “Pastor Dan” and Braden talk with Redeemed founder Paul Amos about building and maintaining a church, balancing the demands of ministry and family, and what they’ve learned from one another.

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.
