Shane Pruitt, his wife, and five kids are all active people with a wide variety of interests and activities. That means Shane, the national Next Gen director for the North American Mission Board, has a lot of insight to share about keeping God at the forefront even when your family’s calendar is full. He and Redeemed director Nate Dewberry discuss priority setting, dealing with grief and loss, and being willing to tell God “I can’t” when the challenges, struggles, and temptations of life become too great to bear.

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.
