  Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, Hello, Welcome aboard, Welcome aboard my friend. Here
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we are in the middle of winter, but my heart,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: my heart is already longing for spring. Welcome to have
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a little faith with Delilah. This podcast is dedicated to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: my faith in the Lord God Almighty. My faith never waivers.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: My obedience waivers, My ability to hear God's voice waivers,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: my ability to obey God once I hear his voice
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: really wavers. But my faith in the Lord that never changes.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I know. I know that, I know that, I know
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: that He is my rock, my fortress. He is my shield,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: my rampart, He is my protector, he is my everything.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: We are full on into this new year twenty twenty six.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I spent the entire holiday season talking about the importance
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of seeing the future in faith and hope and love,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: not through the circumstances going on around us. There is
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a lot to worry about. I get that, Believe me,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I get that people think that I'm choosing to stay ignorant,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that I'm not paying attention to the tragedies going on
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: all over because I still come in here and you know,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: say Latti da and play love songs every night. But
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I have learned through the twelve Step program through my
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: own experiences, that there is no point in losing faith
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and losing hope, in losing sleep over things outside of
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: my control. I cannot change most of the circumstances going
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: on in the world at large. I can change my environment.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I can change the structure within my home and bring
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: more peace, more nervous system regulations, more tools to help
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: my kids navigate the insanity that is our life. Goals, dreams, hopes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: These are so very important. Faith, hope, and love. But
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the greatest of these is love, and we need to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: hold on to that love. Love for each other, love
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: for our fellow man, love for the Almighty as we
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: move forward into this chaotic new year. The first call
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to share with you in this podcast sets
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the scene for my thoughts on this episode. I have
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a call from Tiffany, who understands how difficult her situation is.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: It is difficult, but she's choosing to look forward, not
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: look backwards. She's choosing faith. Let's have Tiffany tell her
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: story right now. Tiffany High, what can I do for
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you tonight?
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Well, I've tried in the past to get through and
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I could not and I kept telling myself, Okay, I'm
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: going to make the vision board and one of the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: things was off to Delilah, and I'm doing it and
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I can't believe it. Basically, I wanted to say so,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I have bipolar disorder and it's something I've been struggling
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: with ever since I had to leave AYU Bloomington. I
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: found out I wanted to be a STIG language interpreter.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I tried to go back to school a couple of times.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: It just wasn't the right time. It's been a lower coaster.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I'm about to cry, but everyone has the brains and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: mental health matters, and this is something I'm really hoping
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: our government will step up on, you know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And there's too many school shootings.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: There's just no reason why it should be so hard
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: to get mental health help to the people who need it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: And my parents even went and took NOMI courses it's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: a nasal association and mental illness, and they found out
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: what they would need to do for me to get
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the help I needed. Basically, it was the fact that
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: they were there for me. They didn't kick me out,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: they didn't, you know, just own me whenever I was
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: struggling with addiction, you know, trying to self medicate and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: all that.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: So did you go to school, did you get your degree?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Are you pursuing your dream?
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Well, that's on my vision board.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I made it to my sophomore year, and that's when
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I had to leave school. And I'm forty four now,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and it just I had tried to go back to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: college where I live, and it just wasn't the right time.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I wasn't ready for it. You know, it's hard to
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: have stressors and not get maniced when you're bipolar, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: also it's you. Lately, they they just don't have enough
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: doctors Delilah where I live, and it's hard.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Oh honey, it's not where you live, it's everywhere.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It's ma'am.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It is everywhere. It is epidemic.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: And just this past Sunday, went back to church for
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the first time in years, except the last time I
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: sat in a church was the vote and that was it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: And I literally went across the street to a church
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and I felt like I was home.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I felt like I had come home. I was like,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: what took me so long?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: God, what took me so long?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Everything in his timing right in his time, every night
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I listened to your show. The joy that you bring
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: me in my life is unreal. Like when you say
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: good night at night, I say good night to my radio.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Because I live alone and i'd gone twenty twenty six.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I made my vision board. I'd like to meet the
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: man of my dreams and the man God.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Has for me.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So instead of calling it a vision board, why don't
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: we call it your prayer board? Because it sounds like
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: all these things that you've put up there are prayers
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to the Almighty for what you would like to see
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: him bring into your life.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you for that.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Be sure and leave a big blank space for whatever
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: you want God that I haven't even thought of yet.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean as much as I think I
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: can dream, he's beyond my comprehension.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Amen, let me play a song for you. Good night, God,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: bless you.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah you as well, Thank you, good bye.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Tiffany's call touch me so much. Vulnerability is so hard
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: for a lot of folk, but you know it is
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the best way to help yourself, to help yourself be present,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to help yourself be connected to those that you love.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Because here's the thing. You think you're protecting yourself by
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: being disconnected by being an island. By isolating, you're not
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You're not You're not protecting yourself. You're just shut up
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: people who love you out and you are going to
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: end up so alone. And by the time you realize
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: how many hearts you've broken, my friend, it's going to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: be too late. So let yourself be vulnerable. Up next,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: we have Matt. Matt recently lost a friend who he
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: loved more than a brother. Matt shared a beautiful story
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: about looking forward and looking beyond the thorns to love
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: his friend and walk his walk with him to the end.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Let's hear from Matt right now. Hi, good evening, you've
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: called the Delilah Show. Who is this?
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: This is Matt.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: What can I do to make your new year, this
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: new month and the new year all the brighter?
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Well, I was hoping to make a dedication to a
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: friend of mine that was like a brother to me,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: that passed away seven months ago.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm so sorry for your loss. What's your
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: friend's name? His name was Don, And what do you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: want to tell the world about Don?
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Don was very special to me.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: It was the brother that I never had, and uh, well,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I loved him very much.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: How many years did you and Don build this friendship?
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: We were friends for twelve years.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Tell me something amazing about Don, so that when God
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: calls me home and I get to the pearly gates,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I'll recognize Don and I'll say, Don, Matt misses you.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Well, I will say, towards the very beginning, his personality
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: was he was very stubborn.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: He had a very close circle of friends.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Because he wasn't really the nicest person in the world
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: when I first got with him. But of course I
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: always be the person that sees the light to every soul.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: He wasn't really nice with a whole lot of people,
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: but you know, he with his close circle of friends,
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: he definitely had a heart with them. But one thing
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I can please say towards his final days was he
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: did start being nice with people, and a lot more
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: people started coming around. And well, he left the world,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: you know, with a lot of people that are missing
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: him now.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: So he built walls around his hard it sounds like,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: and when he realized that time is short and life
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is precious, he started tearing them down and letting folks in. Yes, definitely,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I heard somebody say one time, we are all here
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: on this earth just to walk one another home. And
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that phrase stayed in my heart. We are here to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: walk one another home. What a blessing that he had
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you to walk him home.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Definitely, he had quite a bit of health problems towards
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: the ending of his life. He suffered with diabetes and
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: kidney failure, and he was very stubborn, would not accept
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: any help. He ended up being confined to a wheelchair.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: And you know, he was very reluctant on asking people
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: for help.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: But there was.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Something with me that he kind of gave in, and
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: you know, he let me and my girlfriend kind of,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: you know, help him where was needed. Whether it was
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: grabbing something off the shelf that he couldn't preach, or
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: if you needed a ride to the grocery store, well
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: we were there the whole way, or taking him to
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: doctor's appointments, whatever he needed.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Matt, thank you for being a good friend to him.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Thank you for that. I know that sometimes when you
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: open yourself up and you give and you're generous, it
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: can feel exhausting, especially when somebody is leaving this planet.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: It can be so exhausting. But the fact that you
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: walked him home with with grace and dignity. What a gift,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: What a gift you and and your girlfriend and your
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: love and consistency may have changed the trajectory of his eternity.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, I'd definitely like to think that, which you
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: know we're doing, you know we're doing you know okay
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: with this. You know we've can you know, now's so
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: much who kind of you know, just been going through
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: the most in a sense, you know. And then we've
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: been also keeping in touch with his kids too, to
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: make sure that.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: They're still doing okay.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: And you know, as you can imagine, you know, his
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: daughter really didn't take the news all that well, and
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: she required a lot of help with taking care of
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: his final affairs, which we told her, you know, hey,
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: whatever you need help with in the coming days, you know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: let us know you have our number.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Matt.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you for seeing beyond the thorns the walls that
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: your friend had the tough exterior which often pushes people away.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Obviously it didn't push you away. Trust me when I
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: tell you will never regret that. You will never regret
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: opening your heart to somebody that was hard to love.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I'm proud of you, my friend.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Oh well, thank you, Matt.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: You are the kind of friend that everyone needs, we
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: all need. You are someone that knows how to love
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: beyond the challenges. You know how to love the thorns
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: as well as the blooms on the rose. May God

  Speaker 1: love and understanding, I have a beautiful woman named Jennifer

• 12:22
  Speaker 1: dish that my children love. But please know this conversation
• 12:27

  Speaker 5: they invited me for dinner and everything was fine. That
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: they liked me and they would invite me to come
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: overack to the house. But as soon as they found
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: out that the relationship was serious, was changed because he's
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: white and I'm black.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: So now I haven't even seen them. They don't even
• 16:33

• 16:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know how to navigate the whole situation with
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: you know, we have a great relationship.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Jennifer, how old is Christopher. It's forty one, so he's
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: plenty old enough to know what he wants in life.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: So a grown man knows what he wants in life.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: That's why the Bible says a man shall leave his
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: mother and father and cleave unto his wife.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: So if he's a man and he has a bone,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and he's going to act like a man and behave
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: like a man and treat you like a woman, then
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: he needs to put his foot down and say you
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: can say anything you want. I could carelly even less.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I love you, mom, I love you family, but this
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: is the woman that God has ordained for me, and
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: we are to be one whether you like it or not.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: You can either applaud us and celebrate and do the dance,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: or you can try to stand in our way, in
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: which case we're going to have to leave you aside.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's what he's doing.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: By whatever. I don't know how to.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: I've never had to be in a relationship where I'm
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: not in terms with a mother.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: You cannot argue with foolishness. If she's going to judge
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you based on the fact that the Lord made you black,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: how crazy is that? I mean, if she's judging you
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: because you're a bank robber, or if she's judging you
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: because you've got fourteen other boyfriends lined up, that's one thing.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: But if the sole reason that she is now turning
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: her back to you is the fact that the Lord
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: gave you darker skin and a different hair texture, then
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: that's just pure foolishness. That's foolishness.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: That is what I needed to hear.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: This is my commandment. The Lord says that you love
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: one another, that your joy may be full. He doesn't say,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: this is my commandment, that you love one another. If
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: somebody looks like you.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: That is deep.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: You can't argue or reason with somebody who is unreasonable.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: That trust me. I have tried. I have tried. If
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: there were some magic words that you could use to
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: argue or reason with somebody who is unreasonable, I would
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: know them. Don't try to reason with somebody who's unreasonable.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And if this man loves you and wants to spend
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: his life loving you, tim to put a ring on it.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: That's why he can hear you, Hm, I can, Christopher.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: If your mom is a fool, you can't argue with her.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: She's not going to hear you now Jennifer's mom, it
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: sounds like she already has an understanding.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's what she said. She said, I don't care
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: about his color. Does he treat you right? That's what
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: she asked me.
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: And she said, I want to see him on video.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: When she saw him, she said, I like his energy
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: and I like the glue on your face.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: That's all that matters.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Amen, Amen, creepo by every day he texts back and forth.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Everything.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Well, God bless you both. Thank you for calling. I
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: love you guys.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: As we wrap up this episode, I want to thank Tiffany,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Matt and Jennifer for seeing through the darkness that can
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: sometimes plague all of us. Choosing light over darkness will
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: never fail you. And remember the Lord says he is
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the lamp unto our feet. He will light the path
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: for us. He might not run ahead two miles and
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: put a big spotlight on the path. No, No, that's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: not the way he works, at least not in my life.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: He takes a step ahead and he says, trust me, here, look,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: I'm illuminating the path in front of you. That's all
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: you need to see. We will continue to address the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: subject of choosing love. Choose love over division, Choose love
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: over hate, Choose love over fear, Choose love over power, struggles,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Choose love. I hope you will join me in our
