Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hello, my friend, Welcome to another episode of Have a
- 0:06Speaker 1: Little Faith. I have so enjoyed doing this podcast series
- 0:11Speaker 1: the past year, sharing amazing phone calls. I get phone
- 0:16Speaker 1: calls every night, powerful phone calls every night, and only
- 0:21Speaker 1: three minutes of those calls make it on the air.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I might talk to somebody ten, fifteen, twenty minutes about life,
- 0:29Speaker 1: about love, about things that matter, and only three minutes
- 0:35Speaker 1: of that makes it on the air, because that's how
- 0:39Speaker 1: radio is programmed. And so I love doing this podcast
- 0:43Speaker 1: because I'm able to share those calls in their entirety.
- 0:48Speaker 1: I'm able to share the essence of the conversation without
- 0:55Speaker 1: having to edit it for airtime. This podcast Have a
- 0:59Speaker 1: Little Faith is not about religion, per se. I'm not
- 1:04Speaker 1: smart enough. I'm not educated enough to have that kind
- 1:09Speaker 1: of podcast. My pastor John King, certainly is. He is
- 1:15Speaker 1: so well educated and so understands things like that, although
- 1:21Speaker 1: I know he would never ever do a podcast like that, because,
- 1:25Speaker 1: like me, he doesn't believe on focusing on the things
- 1:29Speaker 1: that divide us, but instead on the things that u
- 1:33Speaker 1: nine us. Our love for the Lord, our love for
- 1:36Speaker 1: the Lord, and our love for one another. When you
- 1:40Speaker 1: share your faith and your love with me. When you
- 1:43Speaker 1: call me at night and share your faith with me,
- 1:47Speaker 1: you strengthen my faith. Or when you call in you
- 1:50Speaker 1: say Delilah, I'm fresh out of faith. I don't know
- 1:54Speaker 1: where to turn. I don't have a clue how to
- 1:58Speaker 1: find the answer. So the big questions in life that
- 2:02Speaker 1: inspires me because I am so eager, so eager, and
- 2:06Speaker 1: so desiring wanting to share the love of Christ with you.
- 2:11Speaker 1: When I talk to people, I try to talk with them,
- 2:16Speaker 1: not to them. I try to talk with them, not
- 2:20Speaker 1: at them, And I try to talk with an open
- 2:25Speaker 1: mind and open heart because, believe you me, I am
- 2:28Speaker 1: in no position ever to stand in judgment. I try
- 2:34Speaker 1: to share my experience from my heart. I try to
- 2:38Speaker 1: share the reality of some of the bad choices I've
- 2:41Speaker 1: made in the hopes that you won't be a knucklehead
- 2:45Speaker 1: like I've been. I love your stories and the way
- 2:49Speaker 1: you trust me with them. A lot of times you
- 2:51Speaker 1: thank me for listening, but I want to thank you
- 2:54Speaker 1: for sharing. When people are real, when they're vulnerable, when
- 2:58Speaker 1: they're giving a gift of their transparency of their heart,
- 3:04Speaker 1: then other people listening don't feel so lone. When you
- 3:08Speaker 1: are transparent, When you are authentic. It gives other people
- 3:12Speaker 1: permission to be transparent and authentic, including me. This episode
- 3:18Speaker 1: is all about how faith and friendship matter, especially right now,
- 3:22Speaker 1: Especially right now with all the craziness going on in
- 3:25Speaker 1: the world, we need to be there for one another.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Today I will share some stories that reach across joy
- 3:33Speaker 1: and sadness, grief and excitement, sometimes a little bit of
- 3:39Speaker 1: both of First we have Melissa. Melissa told me off
- 3:46Speaker 1: the air she was going through a separation from her
- 3:49Speaker 1: boyfriend Tyler, but they were still friends. Melissa, welcome to
- 3:54Speaker 1: have a little faith with Delilah. Let's jump in. It
- 3:57Speaker 1: sounds like you and Tyler still love each other, can't you.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Why can't you work this out?
- 4:03Speaker 2: Because he just didn't match. He just got where he
- 4:07Speaker 2: can't see it son because he moves far away for
- 4:09Speaker 2: the job and everything.
- 4:11Speaker 1: So yeah, how old is his son?
- 4:13Speaker 2: His son is I want to say, five or six?
- 4:17Speaker 1: And dad had to move away for work. That stinks.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in the carnival business.
- 4:22Speaker 1: So oh so he's always moving. Yeah, that is hard, hard, dirty, hot,
- 4:29Speaker 1: sweaty work.
- 4:31Speaker 2: He's been doing it for years.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Well, I used to want to run away with the carnival.
- 4:35Speaker 2: It seems like it'd be fun.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Every time the circus of the carnival would come to
- 4:39Speaker 1: our little town. I would so want to run away
- 4:42Speaker 1: with them, right, kind of glad I stuck with radio,
- 4:46Speaker 1: But you know, I still think that could have been.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I could have had some fun. Yeah, and you've never
- 4:52Speaker 1: been tempted to just throw it all away and go
- 4:55Speaker 1: be a Carnie Barker.
- 4:56Speaker 2: I mean, I had the chance. I could have went
- 4:58Speaker 2: to New Jersey with some years ago, but I decided
- 5:01Speaker 2: to stick around and get my gd work on my schooling.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Good for you, and what do you do now?
- 5:06Speaker 2: I'm a full time student. I'm going for business management
- 5:10Speaker 2: and psychology. I want to open up my own rehabilitation
- 5:14Speaker 2: center with the arts to help people that are recovering.
- 5:17Speaker 1: So that makes a little more sense, my friend, than
- 5:20Speaker 1: working with a carnival. I don't know. I think you're
- 5:24Speaker 1: making going to make a huge difference in the world. Yeah,
- 5:28Speaker 1: not that there's anything wrong with popping popcorn and selling
- 5:32Speaker 1: tickets for the rides, because we all need a little
- 5:34Speaker 1: fun now and again. But praise God, thank you for
- 5:37Speaker 1: caring about people and having such a compassionate vision.
- 5:42Speaker 2: I definitely, I mean because I went through it. I
- 5:44Speaker 2: used to be an addict and I've been recovered for
- 5:47Speaker 2: about seven years now.
- 5:49Speaker 1: So and what was your drug of choice? Can I ask?
- 5:52Speaker 2: At first? It is on pills, then cocaine, and then
- 5:55Speaker 2: I was really bad on that.
- 5:57Speaker 1: And you were able to quit cold turkey.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Yes, I ended up not talking to anybody, like, changing
- 6:04Speaker 2: my whole circle, focusing on my school and my family.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Melissa, you are a walking miracle. Do you know how
- 6:11Speaker 1: few people with that drug are able to get clean? Yeah?
- 6:16Speaker 2: I know. What I realize is like it wasn't helping
- 6:19Speaker 2: me with anything, and I was just miserable, plus to
- 6:22Speaker 2: put me in a really bad relationship with abuse there
- 6:24Speaker 2: for like over it was about four three four years.
- 6:28Speaker 1: I am so proud of you. Look at you going
- 6:31Speaker 1: to school, getting a degree, wanting to help other people
- 6:35Speaker 1: in recovery. What a testimony.
- 6:39Speaker 2: My mom was proud. I got the Dreams List too
- 6:41Speaker 2: and everything.
- 6:42Speaker 1: So do you know how God must be smiling and
- 6:45Speaker 1: turning handstands right now? So proud of you? Yeah, Nan,
- 6:49Speaker 1: I wish I could give you a big hug. I'm
- 6:51Speaker 1: going to play a song for you. I'm going to
- 6:53Speaker 1: put you on hold and then you're gonna give me
- 6:55Speaker 1: your address so that I can send you a gift.
- 6:58Speaker 1: I've got some great Laura Geller cosmetics I'm going to
- 7:03Speaker 1: send you, And I've got some great silver palette pasta
- 7:08Speaker 1: sauce which is all organic and delicious that I'm going
- 7:11Speaker 1: to send you. Okay, So I love pasta. Melissa. I
- 7:15Speaker 1: am so proud of your choice to get sober, to
- 7:18Speaker 1: get grounded, but mostly your choice to help others. May
- 7:24Speaker 1: the Lord bless you and give you the strength to
- 7:27Speaker 1: continue on this journey. This conversation, Melissa has given me
- 7:32Speaker 1: so much hope tonight. So thank you.
- 7:34Speaker 2: You're welcome, and I love listening to you and the
- 7:36Speaker 2: advice you give. It's amazing.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Up next, we have Andrea, who's taking care of her
- 7:43Speaker 1: elderly parents right now, and her story explains why her
- 7:47Speaker 1: loyalty and love extends far beyond her parents. Let's hear
- 7:52Speaker 1: from Andrea right now.
- 7:54Speaker 3: Yes, thank you so much, Tolila.
- 7:56Speaker 4: I just want to say thank you.
- 7:58Speaker 3: First of all, I've listened to you growing up for
- 8:00Speaker 3: twenty five years of my mom and the car driving home,
- 8:04Speaker 3: and you've been to such a voice for Canada and
- 8:06Speaker 3: America for so many years so thank you. And I
- 8:09Speaker 3: just want to say I saw your TikTok about you know,
- 8:12Speaker 3: springtime and hope and renewal and what that means. And
- 8:16Speaker 3: I just want to know, how do you hold on
- 8:18Speaker 3: to the people you love as a age?
- 8:20Speaker 4: Right?
- 8:20Speaker 3: Like my parents, my grandparents, they're aging and springtime is
- 8:24Speaker 3: the time of you know, renewal, and I just wanted
- 8:27Speaker 3: to know what your thoughts would be on that and
- 8:29Speaker 3: how to navigate that.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Well. Unfortunately, I did not have the privilege or the
- 8:34Speaker 1: blessing of hanging on to my folks as the aged
- 8:37Speaker 1: because they both died very young. I was in my
- 8:43Speaker 1: mid thirties when I was in my early thirties when
- 8:46Speaker 1: we lost my dad my mid thirties. Two years later
- 8:49Speaker 1: we lost my mom.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Wow.
- 8:52Speaker 1: So and because I had been disowned by my family
- 8:57Speaker 1: for choosing to love someone they did not approve of,
- 9:03Speaker 1: I didn't have any contact with my grandparents my father's family,
- 9:09Speaker 1: and I had limited contact with my grandparents on my
- 9:13Speaker 1: mother's family. My grandma of course never turned her back
- 9:16Speaker 1: on me, because she adored me, but my grandpa wasn't
- 9:20Speaker 1: too pleased with my choices. So my sister, if she
- 9:25Speaker 1: were here, she would be much more qualified to answer
- 9:29Speaker 1: that because she was the one that ended up caring
- 9:32Speaker 1: for all of them and loving them through their illnesses
- 9:37Speaker 1: and their infirmities and cancer and all that stuff. She
- 9:43Speaker 1: was the one that showed up and never gave up,
- 9:47Speaker 1: and never gave in and didn't stop even though when
- 9:52Speaker 1: my mom passed she had just given birth a couple
- 9:56Speaker 1: of weeks before, and she was taking care of my
- 9:58Speaker 1: mama while she was pregnant.
- 10:02Speaker 3: That's incredible. Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness. But I
- 10:06Speaker 3: would even say, Juliah, like, despite what you've said, you've
- 10:10Speaker 3: also given so much love to people, right, and you've
- 10:14Speaker 3: built such an incredible family. And you know, my brother
- 10:17Speaker 3: and I were actually adopted from overseas for my parents,
- 10:22Speaker 3: and you've really helped that. An example of family is
- 10:27Speaker 3: not only you know, blood, but it's what you build.
- 10:30Speaker 3: And I think that's really inspired you know, us and
- 10:34Speaker 3: probably millions around the world.
- 10:36Speaker 4: So I'm very grateful for that.
- 10:38Speaker 1: I believe in building families through adoption so strongly. I
- 10:45Speaker 1: think that adoption is such a gift to the parents
- 10:50Speaker 1: that are blessed with adopting to the child. If they
- 10:52Speaker 1: are adopted into a loving home, to the siblings, the
- 10:55Speaker 1: aunts and uncles, but mostly to the community and to
- 10:59Speaker 1: society as as a whole. No child should be tossed aside.
- 11:03Speaker 1: No child is an accident, No child should be disposed of.
- 11:08Speaker 1: No child should be stuck in an institution or in
- 11:12Speaker 1: a broken foster care system. Did you know we got
- 11:15Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty thousand kids in our very broken
- 11:19Speaker 1: foster care system and less than five percent will ever
- 11:23Speaker 1: be adopted. They'll they won't have a forever family.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Terrible. That's terrible.
- 11:29Speaker 1: It's horrible. It's horrible, it's unforgivable. I don't know how
- 11:32Speaker 1: we can call ourselves a nation of believers, people that
- 11:36Speaker 1: supposedly believe in God when we let children languish in
- 11:41Speaker 1: institutions or foster care and we look the other way.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Would rather go to a football game, would rather, you know,
- 11:49Speaker 1: buy a new car than build a family?
- 11:53Speaker 3: Yes, And it's also fleeting, right, these material possessions, they're
- 11:58Speaker 3: so they're so temporary. And I found that even as
- 12:02Speaker 3: I navigate my own career, like the most fulfilling things
- 12:05Speaker 3: are spending time with family. And what better way to
- 12:09Speaker 3: really fulfill that promise and to really enjoy the life
- 12:13Speaker 3: that we've been given, which is truly a gift than
- 12:16Speaker 3: to build family and to build a community.
- 12:18Speaker 1: So is your sibling that was also adopted biologically related
- 12:23Speaker 1: to you or are you from two different biofamilies.
- 12:27Speaker 3: Two different bio families, two different from opposite ends from
- 12:32Speaker 3: Russia actually, and so I was on one end, he
- 12:36Speaker 3: was on the other end. And you know, my parents
- 12:39Speaker 3: at the time, they had found out about this adoption
- 12:41Speaker 3: agency and they they ended up going not once but twice.
- 12:47Speaker 3: And we've met tons of amazing people. I still am
- 12:51Speaker 3: in contact with some of my you know, they call
- 12:54Speaker 3: them crib mats from the orphanage. And it's really it's
- 12:58Speaker 3: really touching in a ground, you right, because the life
- 13:01Speaker 3: that we have here is is not the reality for
- 13:05Speaker 3: so many, so many around the world.
- 13:07Speaker 1: There's a guy I follow on TikTok and I've gotten
- 13:10Speaker 1: to know him a little bit named aj who was
- 13:13Speaker 1: adopted not from Russia but from that area, from an orphanage.
- 13:22Speaker 1: And he is such a beautiful soul. I love him
- 13:28Speaker 1: and I love his heart. He's brilliant first off, far
- 13:32Speaker 1: smarter than I will ever be. He's younger than most
- 13:36Speaker 1: of my adult children, just a beautiful person and a
- 13:39Speaker 1: beautiful soul, and he shares how his life was changed,
- 13:45Speaker 1: transformed by being taken out of an institution where you
- 13:50Speaker 1: know there is no hope.
- 13:52Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and there's and there's often there's often not.
- 13:56Speaker 3: And so to your point about the five percent, you know,
- 13:59Speaker 3: I'm so grateful to have been a part of that
- 14:02Speaker 3: very small statistic. And I feel this overwhelming sense of
- 14:06Speaker 3: duty now right, which is a rightful duty. And that
- 14:10Speaker 3: is too when I meet people that are in that
- 14:12Speaker 3: circumstance that could use a hand. You know, I have
- 14:16Speaker 3: an obligation as a fello human being to lift people
- 14:19Speaker 3: up if I have the capacity, because at the end
- 14:21Speaker 3: of the day, we are all going to the same state,
- 14:25Speaker 3: the same destination, and it's incumbent really on me to
- 14:30Speaker 3: help as much as I can. And that's what you've done,
- 14:33Speaker 3: and that's why it's just so inspiring and love. Although
- 14:37Speaker 3: it may again like life be fleeting, it is the
- 14:42Speaker 3: one thing that keeps us grounded.
- 14:46Speaker 1: All right. God, bless you, honey. I just wish I
- 14:48Speaker 1: could give you a big hug.
- 14:50Speaker 3: Thank you me too, thank you for everything. I can
- 14:52Speaker 3: feel that I have the shivers now, So thank.
- 14:54Speaker 1: You, Andrea. You have just made my entire day. You
- 14:58Speaker 1: are everything I look for in this world. You have gratitude,
- 15:02Speaker 1: you have compassion, you have so much love. You clearly
- 15:07Speaker 1: are an example of everything I try to share each
- 15:10Speaker 1: and every day. It doesn't come naturally to me. I
- 15:13Speaker 1: have to work at it. Please know that I am
- 15:15Speaker 1: praying for your parents. But more than that, know that
- 15:18Speaker 1: God is with you, and He is in every detail
- 15:23Speaker 1: that you are going through. Thank you for your strength.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing your story. The last call I
- 15:30Speaker 1: want to share with you today is from Jamie. Jamie
- 15:33Speaker 1: is experiencing both joy and very deep pain for her friend.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Let's hear from Jamie right now. Hey Jamie, welcome to
- 15:42Speaker 1: have a little faith with Delilah.
- 15:45Speaker 4: Oh my God, I have been waiting forever talk to you.
- 15:50Speaker 1: How long have you been listening to my show?
- 15:53Speaker 5: I think I've listened to you all of my young years.
- 15:56Speaker 5: I mean, I like you make me feel like I'm
- 16:01Speaker 5: at home.
- 16:02Speaker 1: I love that. I love being your radio mama.
- 16:06Speaker 4: Yes, so I have two things today.
- 16:11Speaker 5: My spouse who took over as stepdad to my daughter,
- 16:17Speaker 5: and then we had a baby. But he is a
- 16:20Speaker 5: strong man and he is awesome, and I just want
- 16:22Speaker 5: to give a shout out to Joe. And then this
- 16:26Speaker 5: last year, my high school friend lost her son Silas
- 16:31Speaker 5: to a motorcycle accident. And he was born in twenty twelve,
- 16:35Speaker 5: and there's so much happiness and so much sadness and
- 16:41Speaker 5: just the we're so grateful to God.
- 16:44Speaker 1: And it's hard to believe that your heart can contain
- 16:49Speaker 1: two such diametrically opposed emotions as the joy of true
- 16:55Speaker 1: love and a baby and a family, and the grief
- 17:01Speaker 1: of holding space for your friend. It's like, how does
- 17:05Speaker 1: a heart hold those two realities simultaneously?
- 17:12Speaker 5: Yes, And then she's trying to be a mom two
- 17:15Speaker 5: or three other children, And every day I.
- 17:20Speaker 4: Get up and I just think of her. You know,
- 17:25Speaker 4: I just I had to call you.
- 17:28Speaker 1: I wish I could give you a hug in person.
- 17:32Speaker 5: I just can't be talking to you. You're a therapy
- 17:39Speaker 5: on the radio for everybody, and I know you've been
- 17:43Speaker 5: through a lot, so I appreciate you being there for
- 17:48Speaker 5: us suffering and going through things.
- 17:52Speaker 1: You know what's funny is my listeners have been there
- 17:57Speaker 1: for me as much as I've been there for you guys,
- 18:02Speaker 1: and you don't even know it. I have a girlfriend,
- 18:06Speaker 1: Christina that works for me. She helps me out with
- 18:09Speaker 1: the animals and the kids. She comes in and we
- 18:12Speaker 1: were talking and she knows some of the things I'm
- 18:15Speaker 1: facing right now with some of the dynamics in our
- 18:19Speaker 1: family and some people that are facing major health issues,
- 18:23Speaker 1: and she says, how do you do it? She said,
- 18:25Speaker 1: I was listening to you the other night and you
- 18:27Speaker 1: were laughing and so happy, and she said, I know,
- 18:30Speaker 1: five minutes before you went on the air, you were crying.
- 18:33Speaker 1: And I said, for me, it's healing when I talk
- 18:37Speaker 1: to people and connect with people and they share their
- 18:40Speaker 1: energy and their love and their heart and their prayers
- 18:44Speaker 1: for me, it's my happy place. And she said, yeah,
- 18:49Speaker 1: but you know, how do you pour from an empty cup?
- 18:51Speaker 1: And I said, that's the secret. That's what fills my
- 18:53Speaker 1: cup exactly.
- 18:56Speaker 5: So I put my phone on sneaker and I was like, well,
- 18:59Speaker 5: I'm going to go to As soon as I hear someone,
- 19:02Speaker 5: I'm gonna sit up. And I heard your voice and
- 19:04Speaker 5: I was like, I'm full.
- 19:06Speaker 4: I teach.
- 19:07Speaker 5: I'm a teacher, and it's exhausting, but the kids feel me,
- 19:12Speaker 5: they take away, but they also feel me. And then
- 19:15Speaker 5: my babies, my own babies take away and they film me.
- 19:19Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, I just can't
- 19:21Speaker 5: imagine my friend losing her baby. I can't imagine.
- 19:27Speaker 1: And so no, you can't, and you don't ever want to.
- 19:30Speaker 1: I used to pray, Lord, I can I can stand
- 19:33Speaker 1: up in under anything. Please God, just don't ever call
- 19:36Speaker 1: one of my children home. And then he did.
- 19:40Speaker 5: And I've read so much about you, and I know
- 19:43Speaker 5: you don't know me, and I know, but I pray
- 19:46Speaker 5: every day o my children, and I think about you
- 19:50Speaker 5: like I drive home sometimes late at night and I cry.
- 19:54Speaker 5: I hear these stories and I'm like, but I look
- 19:58Speaker 5: at my baby's in the back seat, and I'm so thankful.
- 20:02Speaker 4: And that's all we have is those moments.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Well, enjoy those moments, enjoy your family. Thank you for
- 20:09Speaker 1: holding space for your friend. Please, because after like month
- 20:14Speaker 1: two or three or four, people start back in a
- 20:17Speaker 1: way they like, Okay, well it's time to get over it,
- 20:19Speaker 1: time to move on.
- 20:21Speaker 4: I'm the weird one.
- 20:22Speaker 5: I'm like, here's a gift card, get yourself on the
- 20:24Speaker 5: yell And I send a gift card and yeah, people
