This episode dives deep into Romans chapter four, exploring the pivotal role of faith in achieving righteousness, as demonstrated by Abraham. We discuss how Abraham's belief in God was counted as righteousness, emphasizing that it was not his works, but his faith that granted him favor with the Lord.
We also reflect on the notion that good works are appreciated but are not the currency of salvation. Through Abraham, it is highlighted that adherence to the law or performing good works cannot grant salvation. Instead, the episode emphasizes the profound impact of faith and grace in our spiritual journey, how Jesus’ sacrifice justifies us, and the immeasurable worth of faith in God's promises.
Join us as we unravel the layers of faith, grace, and righteousness, and delve into the transformative message that salvation is a gift, imputed by God, through belief in Him rather than by our own deeds. This revelation not only illuminates our understanding of scripture but also helps us appreciate the depth of God's love and the importance of unwavering faith.

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.
