Love Someone With Delilah

On this first weekend of summer I pray you are enjoying time with family and friends. Tonight I invite you to join me by the fire for a great conversation. I've got an amazing guest called Michael Franti. If you don't know Michael Franti you should. Google him and his incredible band Spearhead. You can also just go to Doitforthelove.org We had a great talk that will not only take you back in time to those endless summers...it will also remind you to be present for all those you love!  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Having hope or being hopeful is often looked at as something you are or aren't. It is often viewed as innate. All year long I intend to explore, encourage and share hope. In this particular podcast I want to begin a discussion of how it is possible for anyone to move forward from darkness or pessimism and into a hopeful space.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this podcast Delilah keeps her theme of positivity and love going. This conversation is with Pat Monahan the lead singer from the Grammy award winning band Train. Many of Train's songs are among Delilah's most requested ever. "Hey Soul Sister, Marry Me, and Calling All Angels" are just a few of those titles. Pat Monahan is not only an amazing singer and songwriter but is so refreshingly humble. Together Delilah and Pat share thoughts on life, music and Train's upcoming tour. They even manage to squeeze in a wee bit of silliness for good measure.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All month long we've been celebrating the power of love. I could not think of a better way to share this week's podcast than to tell the story written by Rory Feek "This Life I Live". It's such an amazing testimony. It not only portrays romantic love but it glorifies the highest love. If you've ever felt that you couldn't connect with or have the best of love because you didn't come from a certain circumstance or place you need to listen to this podcast.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All month long we have been challenging everyone to choose love over all of the negativity that seems to be dominating our daily lives. It's especially crazy over social media and media in general. What is particularly concerning is that it's actually infiltrated real relationships. It's so puzzling as to why that kind of energy spreads like a horrible flu. Wouldn't it be great to have a vaccine for that? We can't offer a cure but we can offer a home remedy (a kind of calming cup of tea). Her name is Delilah and she has challenged you to focus on who and what you love today. This week's podcast focuses on the foundation of that. Tune in now to find out what it is.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you or someone you care deeply for ever tried to love someone out of an addiction? Did you try everything in your power to save that person to the point of losing your own serenity? If so you are not alone. Addiction doesn't discriminate. It affects both rich and poor, male and female, parent and child.

Dealing with death or the terminal illness of a loved one can often send us into a downward spiral of devastating grief. Sometimes this type of pain can literally paralyze and rob us of faith and hope. In this podcast I would like to acknowledge that and call upon the truth. There is no way around pain. There is only a way through it. If you are facing this most difficult of life's circumstances, you are not alone. You are on holy ground. Call on your faith at this moment and if you can't do that call on your friends. Know that I wish to be counted among them.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this podcast we explore the difference between being happy and having joy. Happiness has long been something people seek. However, it is often an experience that is only fleeting or worse never achieved at all. Joy is not something sought after but comes from within regardless of outside circumstances.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
