WEBVTT - FAITH: It gives peace

0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's Delilah. Thank you for stopping by. I have

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>put together some of my favorite radio moments here to

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>share with you on our daily podcast through.

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:19.960
<v Speaker 2>How do you keep your peace of mind?

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>For me, it begins and ends with prayer, with knowing

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>that there is a higher power in charge, so I

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have to be and when I remember that, I

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>can have peace in the midst of the storms of life.

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>With all the insanity going on in the world, it

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>is so hard to stay focused when there are all

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>these distractions. So what do you do? What do you

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>do to maintain your peace of mind, to maintain your equilibrium,

0:00:55.280 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>to be at peace, to continue to be effective, and

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>your relationships and your job and your family. You can't

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>let all these things steal your joy.

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>Hi Dan, Welcome to the Delilah Show. What can I

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>do for you?

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Delilah, I'm going to let you know I work

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.480
<v Speaker 3>three jobs and I don't have much time to listen

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 3>to the radio during the day. So after my last job,

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:29.040
<v Speaker 3>I usually listen to other stations. And I was flipping

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 3>the jails one night and got you on and you know,

0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 3>listening to you talking about you know, life and you know,

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 3>instead of just playing music. You're talking about real instances

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 3>in life. You kind of motivated me a little bit

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 3>to kind of get back to talking to the Creator.

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 3>So what I do is on the way home, when

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 3>listening to you, I will pull over in an area

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 3>and kind of look up at the stars and just

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 3>chill out and just kind of relax a little bit

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 3>and just kind of talk to God a little bit

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 3>and get back to that instead of just you know,

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 3>the daily grind and just forget about everything, you know,

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 3>like the religious stuff, and just forget all about that.

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 3>And I don't need to do that. I need to

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 3>get back more with God. And you've kind of inspired

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 3>me to do that.

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you. When you talk to him again, would

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>you put in a good word for me?

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 3>I will put in as many good words as you are.

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 3>But it's just, you know, when you see the stars

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 3>at night, it's you know, and there's not much traffic,

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 3>so you know, I'm it's just really kind of really

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 3>basically relaxing, relaxing, and you get back to, you know,

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 3>where life needs to be. You kind of try to

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 3>put it in perspective instead of the daily grind all

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 3>the time. Hurry up, hurry up. Hurry up.

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of times people make God so

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>complicated or so difficult to understand, or so pious or

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>so distant out there, when just like you said, just

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:58.519
<v Speaker 1>looking at the stars, enjoying the magnificent beauty he created,

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Being able to love completely and deeply and get in

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>touch with that side of us that hungers and lungs

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>for that connection.

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 2>That's what it's all about.

0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:15.239
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much for bringing me back to reality.

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Hi Diane, thanks for calling. This is Delilah. What can

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I do for you?

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.959
<v Speaker 4>I just wanted to tell you how I met my sweetheart.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, tell me your story.

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 4>When I was a little girl, my sister in law,

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 4>who was dating my brother at the time, had a

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 4>subscription to a magazine that was written by missionary kids,

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 4>and we would read this magazine together every month and

0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 4>then pray for one of the kids for the whole

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 4>month that we liked their story the best. And one

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 4>month we picked this story because the picture of the

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 4>boy and the story. He had a monkey on his shoulder,

0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.400
<v Speaker 4>and we just thought it would be really cool to

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 4>have a monkey for a pet, so we picked him,

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 4>and as time went by, he kept coming to mind.

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 4>The picture stuck in my head, even though you know,

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 4>life goes on, and we didn't get together to rethrough

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 4>the magazine anymore once we grew up. But so when

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 4>I was in college, I met somebody who also was

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.559
<v Speaker 4>had grown up as a missionary kid, but he wanted

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 4>to go back and work with his parents, and so

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:25.599
<v Speaker 4>we dated and we ended up getting married, and we

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 4>never actually went to the mission field, but we had

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.119
<v Speaker 4>a family, and we were moving into a house about

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 4>three years ago. We'd been married for about seventeen years,

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.280
<v Speaker 4>and I was going through a box of old stuff

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 4>and trying to a.

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.359
<v Speaker 2>Long time later, yes, and I.

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 4>Found an issue of this magazine that my sister in

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 4>law used to get and I thought, oh, that's cool.

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 4>I haven't seen this magazine in years. And I suddenly

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 4>was staring at the picture of the boy with the

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.160
<v Speaker 4>monkey on his shoulder that had been in my head

0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 4>for all those years. And I discovered that it was

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.279
<v Speaker 4>my husband who wrote the article. He wrote the article

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.599
<v Speaker 4>when he was on the mission field with his parents.

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Did you just start screaming when you discovered that I

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:10.359
<v Speaker 1>was faking?

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 4>I was crying.

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 3>I was like, you won't believe this.

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.840
<v Speaker 4>You have to come see this. He's like, I know,

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.000
<v Speaker 4>I've seen it. I wrote it, and I was like, but.

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 3>You don't understand.

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that is amazing.

0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, go enjoy your life, your husband, your blessing, and

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:30.359
<v Speaker 1>let me find a song for you.

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:42.279
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, Lily.

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 2>What can I do for you?

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 5>You've done so much already. I have to tell you,

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 5>I've been through the worst two and a half years

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 5>any person could be going through, and you brought me

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 5>such hope and keep bringing me back to my faith

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 5>that I sometimes feel i'm losing that. I had to

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 5>call and thank you.

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Now. See, here's the secret that you don't realize that,

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>no matter what it is that you're going through, or

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>whatever mistakes you've made that are stealing your joy and

0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.280
<v Speaker 1>making you restless, I've made bigger mistakes.

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 5>Well it wasn't my mistake.

0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>So you're struggling with life issues that have nothing to

0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>do with you.

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah you know.

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm struggling with life issues that have everything to do

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>with my foolishness. Oh does it.

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.480
<v Speaker 2>I can't even blame God or blame fate. I can

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>only blame myself.

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Well, see I lost someone very dear to me,

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 5>and I mean very dear, and now I'm very sick.

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 2>And you need a safe place to go.

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and sometimes you just you wonder, God, what are

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 5>you doing to me? You know? And how much is

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 5>one person supposed to bear? And I realized that if

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 5>I keep my faith, it'll work out. And I absolutely

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 5>adore you. You're great.

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank you? And can I just say this.

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I heard somebody say one time, if God has led

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>you to it, he's going to get you through it. Yeah,

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>he will get you through it if you have faith

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>and nothing else. You need a mustard, see the faith

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>that whatever trials and tribulations you're facing, you're going to

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>come out on the other side as stronger person.

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 5>Oh, thank you, Chris. Hi.

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 2>This is Delilah. How are you tonight?

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 6>Deliah? If I told you my whole life story start

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 6>to finish to where I'm at right now, see the

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 6>things I've been through. I called you about three years

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 6>ago going through a really bad divorce and I actually

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 6>had to get a paternity test on my daughter because

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 6>I found my wife cheating, and whatever the case may be.

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 6>It called you about three years ago, got on the

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 6>air with you and whatnot, and at that point in

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 6>my life, I thought things were just terrible, and I

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 6>thought it couldn't get me worse, you know, And now

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 6>here I am three years later, and my life is

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 6>just it's a completely happy place because it's not about

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 6>what you want. It's not about what's going on in

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 6>your mind, because you're not in control, and God is.

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 6>And I promise you that, more so than I can

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.679
<v Speaker 6>ever possibly fathom to tell you. God is in control

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 6>and he would do miraculous things in your life. And

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 6>I'm telling you I'm fit, yours living proof. Three years ago,

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 6>I'm telling you it was a different place, and I

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 6>thought that life was falling apart on me. And now

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 6>here I am, and I'm living well. I'm living very good.

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 6>My career is going very well. I don't have a

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 6>girlfriend in my life. I told her, yours sistant. I

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 6>either can have a girlfriend or a good career. I

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 6>can't have both. If you could play it's not a

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 6>love song, I guess, but it's more of a triumphant

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.600
<v Speaker 6>kind of a thing. Then if you can play don't

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 6>stop believing from journey, that would be an awesome thing.

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 6>I've been through drugists, I've been through everything you can

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.960
<v Speaker 6>possibly imagine, and I hold a white collar job with

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 6>no high school education whatsoever, no college degree, no nothing.

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 6>And God is in control. He can give you anything.

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 6>The Bible says God will give you the desires of

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 6>your heart. And if you believe that with everything you've got,

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 6>there is nothing God's not willing to do for you.

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.920
