In this enlightening episode, we delve into the profound teachings of Romans Chapter 1, exploring the Apostle Paul's deep commitment to the gospel and his role as a servant of Jesus Christ. Written during his third missionary journey around 57-60 AD, this chapter reveals Paul's dedication to spreading the word of God, highlighting his voluntary servitude to Christ and the transformative power of the gospel.
The discussion navigates through the rich theological insights of Paul's writings, emphasizing the voluntary nature of servitude to God, as drawn from Exodus 21. We explore how Paul viewed himself as a bondservant, willingly choosing to dedicate his life to the divine calling of apostleship and the spreading of the gospel to both Jews and Gentiles.
Listeners are taken through a thoughtful examination of the nature of faith, the righteousness of God, and the power of the gospel to bring salvation to all who believe. The episode also reflects on the historical context of Paul's letter, addressing the cultural and spiritual dynamics of early Roman Christians and their impact on the world.
Through engaging dialogue, the episode challenges listeners to reflect on their own faith journey and the importance of living a life fully dedicated to God's purpose, just as Paul exemplified. The session concludes with a discussion on the consequences of rejecting God, as illustrated in the latter verses of the chapter, urging a deeper understanding of God's enduring call to all humanity.

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.
