Speaker 1 (00:00):
On today's podcast, we are sharing a prayer for the
women who shepherd God's flock. In the heart of every
woman called to the sacred role of shepherd in God's flock,
there lies a deep and unwavering commitment to both the
call and the mission. Women clergy carry a unique anointing
that empowers them to nurture, guide, and lead with love, wisdom,
and faith. Their role as shepherds is a divine appointment,
(00:22):
one that requires patience, resilience, and an intimate relationship with God.
As they serve, they pour out their lives, their hearts,
and their spirits, all for the advancement of God's kingdom.
This prayer is an acknowledgment of that sacred calling, a
plea for divine covering, strength and wisdom, and a celebration
of the anointing upon their lives. Honoring the calling, Father, God,
(00:46):
we come to you today with hearts full of gratitude
for the women you have called to shepherd your flock.
We recognize the sacred nature of this calling, the immense
responsibility to care for and guide your people. We honor
these women for their unwavering dedication to their deay divine purpose,
and we thank you for the wisdom, insight, and compassion
you have poured into their lives. We acknowledge that this
(01:07):
calling is not always easy. These women face the weight
of their ministry with courage and grace, often walking pets
that demand sacrifice, long hours, and deep commitment. We ask
Father that you continue to strengthen them and uphold them,
reminding them that their labor is not in vain and
that they are deeply loved and cherished by You. Praying
for a wisdom and discernment Lord, as these women shepherd
(01:30):
your people, we ask for an outbooring of wisdom and discernment.
Grant them the ability to hear your voice clearly, even
in the midst of life's distractions. May they be led
by Your spirit in every decision, every sermon, every prayer,
and every moment of ministry. Give them the wisdom to
shepherd with understanding, to nurture souls with compassion, and to
(01:50):
guide with clarity and truth. We pray that you would
sharpen their discernment, enabling them to discern Your will and
purpose in every situation. Help them to know when to speak,
when to listen, when to correct, and when to comfort.
Empower them to be the wise and loving guides that
your people need, and may they lead your flock with
confidence and humility, empowering the spirit of endurance. Father, we
(02:13):
know that the journey of shepherding is one that requires
great endurance. There are seasons of joy, but there are
also seasons of hardship, struggle, and fatigue. We lift up
these women, praying that you would strengthen their spirits in
moments of weariness. May they never grow tired of doing good,
but rather, may your strength rise within them like a
mighty wind, enabling them to keep going, to press forward,
(02:36):
and to continue in the work you have set before them.
We ask for your divine covering over their minds, bodies,
and spirits, guard them from burnout, from discouragement, and from
the heavy burdens that sometimes come with leading and serving.
When the path feels too long and the challenge is
too great, May they rest in the assurance that You
are always with them, never leaving them or forsaking them.
(02:57):
May their hearts be encouraged in knowing that they are
supported by the prayers of their communities and the power
of your presence, nurturing souls with love and grace. Lord,
we pray that these women may continue to nurture the
souls of those entrusted to their care with a spirit
of love and grace. Help them to be a reflection
of your unconditional love, serving others with kindness, empathy, and patience.
(03:19):
May their words bring comfort, healing, and encouragement to those
who are weary and broken hearted. May their actions be
a testament to your heart for your people, a heart
that is always seeking, always reaching, and always loving. We
ask that you would give them the ability to cultivate
a safe and loving environment within their congregations, one where
people feel welcomed, valued and cherished. Help these women shepherd
(03:43):
your people with grace, guiding them towards spiritual growth, transformation,
and a deeper relationship with you. Walking in the glory
of their purpose. Father, we thank you that you have
called these women to walk in the glory of their
God given purpose. We ask that you continue to reveal
your purpose to them, strengthening their confidence in the unique
and powerful role they play in your kingdom. May they
(04:05):
walk boldly and with grace, knowing that they are doing
the work you have called them to and that you
are pleased with their faithfulness. We pray that you will
bless them with an abundance of spiritual gifts, gifts that
will allow them to minister effectively, inspire their communities, and
lead others into a deeper, more intimate relationship with You.
May they be radiant with your glory as they walk
(04:25):
out their calling, and may they always reflect Your love,
light and truth. Closing, Blessing Lord, as these women shepherd
your flock, we pray that you will bless them with joy, peace,
and fulfillment in their work. Let their hearts be filled
with the knowledge that they are never alone, that you
walk with them, lead them, and strengthen the meach in
every day. May they experience the fullness of your presence,
(04:48):
the depth of your love, and the power of your
anointing as they fulfill the calling you have placed on
their lives. We give you thanks for the women who
shepherd your flock. May their work be fruitful, their spirits
be renewed, and their hearts be filled with joy as
they serve you faithfully. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen,

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.
