Subscribe ▼ Show Notes I awakened on Thursday, May 7th, 2026, and thought about my plans for the day like any other day. What I didn’t realize was that life for my wife and me would take a dramatic turn that afternoon. I went to physical therapy for my recently replaced left shoulder early that morning, and I was pleased to learn that the physical therapist was going to allow me to do some harder work since I had just passed the six-week mark from surgery. The day began to change, however, when I stood to leave at the end of the session and felt as close to fainting as I had ever felt. Discovery and Surgery In this atypical episode of Relentless Truth, I tell the story and convey some of the perspectives we gained from discovering significant arterial blockage that day to open-heart surgery and recovery. Previous cardiac tests had not revealed this very dangerous blockage, and physicians called it “hidden” when they discovered it. God spared my life through this discovery and surgery, and although I can’t quite process all the lessons to be learned at this point, I prepared this episode in an effort to capture my thoughts at this stage. God’s Tender Mercies I hope you find it…
