Show Notes: This week on Undaunted Pursuit Podcast, Aaron sits down with a very special guest—Jake Zerfas, better known as Rebel Redeemed 316—to talk faith, redemption, and the wild world of AI music production. 🎶

Pools big enough to water a forest? Check. A comedy binge followed by too much wine? Also check. But in the end? It was all just… chasing the wind.
This week we unpack:

Solomon’s “pleasure experiment” and why laughter and libations don’t deliver lasting...

In this week’s episode, Aaron and Ashley are back at it—diving deep into the biblical foundation of marriage with authenticity, humor, and real-life experience. From Ecclesiastes to 1 Corinthians, they unpack two seemingly opposing biblical perspectives—why two are better than one and why Paul says it’s better to be single.

-
The true meaning of “a cord of three st...

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.
