What does it really mean to be prophetic? In Episode 2 of our Imago Dei series, Greg and Nathan explore the powerful, often misunderstood role of the prophet—not as a fortune-teller, but as a meaning-maker.
Big Idea: Bearing God's image means helping others interpret life through the lens of Scripture.
Through a thoughtful discussion, they unpack what it means to assign meaning to events, emotions, and moments in a world hungry for clarity. From the calling of ancient prophets to the quiet, everyday witness of modern believers, this episode explores how we, as image-bearers of God, can speak truth, bring hope, and reframe reality for those around us.

Why all Christians share this calling today
-
What it looks like to "assign meaning" in everyday conversations

Whether you're new to the concept or eager to go deeper, this conversation will encourage you to see your everyday words and presence as part of a sacred calling—to help others see God more clearly in the story of their lives.

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.
