Bible Leadership Podcast

Bible Leadership Podcast

Leading FOR Jesus disconnected FROM Jesus makes no sense. Your influence was never meant to run dry—it was meant to flow from the wellspring of God’s Word, not just the latest leadership books. On the Bible Leadership Podcast, we open God's Word and connect it directly to the real challenges of leading people today. Whether you’re leading in the church, at work, or at home, you’ll discover timeless biblical wisdom, practical insights, and encouragement to lead with both strength and humility. This podcast is all about one thing: connecting your leadership to the Bible and the Bible to your leadership. Because the truth is—if your leadership isn’t grounded in God’s Word, it won’t last. But when it is, it can change lives for eternity.

    • What if I invest a lot of time and energy into the WRONG thing?

      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.
