Mercy me, do I have a fabulous podcast to share with you! We're doing a deep dive into the medical ministry of Mercy Ships, a 40-year old organization that sends floating hospitals into some of the poorest communities on earth. From humble beginnings, Mercy Ships has been able to complete over 100,000 life-changing surgeries and is dedicated to performing hundreds of thousands more, for people who otherwise would not have access to medical care. What's even more amazing, is that the organization is powered by prayer, donations, and volunteer efforts. Today I'm joined by Kerry Peterson, VP of Advancement at Mercy Ships, and 3 incredible volunteers, Rayanne, Marta, and Nate, who will share their experiences with us. We'll close with information as to how YOU might become involved, either by volunteering your time and skills, by donating, or by your prayers and blessings.

Fresh from winning a Golden Globe for his semi-autobiographical film, MINARI, Lee Isaac Chung is my very special guest on LOVE SOMEONE today. A soft-spoken and deeply insightful man, Isaac tells me how the story honors his grandmother, who he felt was largely invisible figure during the very formative years of his youth. Minari, a common plant grown abundantly in their native Korea, symbolizes the restorative influence his grandmother had on his family... But I don't want to get ahead of myself or give too much away about this beautiful, and brilliantly cast film. Listen in, and then, when given the opportunity, watch Golden Globe winning, Minari! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Country music is part romance, part mystery, and part yearning for a simpler time. Lee Brice brings that all to the table - and to our podcast today - with "Hey World" his 5th studio album. This larger than life country artist is kindness itself, and that theme runs through all his music, old and new. I was especially touched by the singles, "Sons & Daughters" which speaks to the single truth that for all our differences, every one of us "is somebody's son, somebody's daughter" as well as "Lies" uncovering the sad reality that "the cruelest lies of all the lies we tell are the one's we tell ourselves..." Of course there's upbeat, fun, and funky tracks too, like "One Of Them Girls", "Atta Boy" and "Don't Need No Reason." "Hey World" is a much needed anthem to help us navigate the crazy on our way back to some much needed stability.

February is dedicated to matters of the heart, and my guest today, Katrina McGhee, from the American Heart Association is here to encourage us to make sure that we care for our hearts! Shockingly, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, and too many people are unaware of this. Awareness, education, and even small changes in our eating and lifestyle habits can change this story. Katrina will tell us how it's done. She'll also encourage us to WEAR RED on February 5, to help bring awareness to women's heart health, and to strike up a conversation with those in your circle about the importance of self-care. Additionally, Katrina founded the "Loving On Me Academy" which is your go-to place if you're looking to put yourself in the driver's seat of your life and your health. She'll tell us all about in today's conversation. I'll keep doling out advice on keeping your emotional heart healthy, and Katrina will continue telling you how to keep your physical heart beating long and strong.

Josh and I go waaaaaaay back, before he was a global superstar (but very well on his way!) His recordings have become nearly synonymous with the Delilah Christmas program; that smooth, soulful, touch-your-heart sound. It's been a while since we touched base though, so I'm so tickled to have him join me on the podcast today.Mr. Groban has a beautiful new album that dropped last week, 'Harmony' - it includes some covers, some collaborations, and some brand new pieces that weren't originally intended for the project, but came from the time Josh had in his studio during the spring's lock-down. (The incredible music that has come from this terrible situation reminds us that life is full of silver linings!)We get to hear all about the album and all about what's going on with the one and only Josh Groban - including musings on how learning to cook and making music have several similarities!
