Deborah's confidence came from knowing God's voice. Barak's hesitation illustrates the struggle with obedience. God's call often comes with a promise of victory. Leadership is about partnership, not competition. Obedience doesn't require having all the answers. Courage can mean saying yes despite fear. God can still use us even when we hesitate. Deborah's leadership was focused on fruitfulness. Trusting God's voice is essential for effective leadership.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
