Welcome to Have A Little Faith with Delilah, where we explore the power of faith and gratitude and how it can transform the way we experience life.

Life has a way of giving us moments that make our hearts overflow with joy, as well as moments that leave us feeling lost, discouraged, or uncertain about what comes next. It’s easy to be grateful when everything is going our way. But what happens when life doesn’t look the way we hoped? When we face disappointment, heartbreak, unexpected challenges, or seasons of uncertainty? That’s where the deeper meaning of gratitude begins.

Gratitude isn’t about pretending that everything is okay when it isn’t. It’s not about ignoring our pain or forcing ourselves to find a silver lining in every difficult situation. It’s about learning to recognize the good that still exists, even when life feels heavy. It’s about appreciating the people who stand beside us, the lessons that shape us, the small blessings we often overlook, and the strength we discover within ourselves along the way.

In the good times, gratitude reminds us not to take our blessings for granted. In the hard times, it gives us a different perspective—a way to hold on to hope without denying the reality of what we’re going through.

So, in this space, we’ll explore what it truly means to embrace gratitude in every season of life. We’ll talk about finding peace in the present, appreciating the little things, learning from our struggles, and understanding that even when we can’t control our circumstances, we can nurture a heart that remains open to hope, growth, and possibility.

So take a deep breath, settle in, and join me as we discover how to live with more intention, more appreciation, and more gratitude—through the beautiful moments, the difficult seasons, and everything in between.

Accepting the Change of Seasons Without Accepting Defeat 🍂

Every season of life comes with a purpose. Some seasons bring growth, while others bring challenges, unexpected endings, and moments that force us to slow down and reflect. But just because the season is changing doesn’t mean you’ve lost, and just because life looks different doesn’t mean you’ve been defeated.

In this episode, we’re talking about embracing life’s transitions, releasing what no longer serves us, and learning to find strength in the middle of change. We’ll explore how to honor where you are without giving up on where you’re going, how to make peace with what you cannot control, and how to keep moving forward even when the path looks different than you imagined.

Remember: You can accept the season you’re in without surrendering to it. Change is not defeat. Rest is not weakness. And a new chapter doesn’t mean your story is over. Join the conversation as we learn to flow with the seasons, stand firm in our purpose, and trust that even in seasons of uncertainty, there is still room for growth, healing, and new beginnings. 🌱✨

You may be in a different season, but you are never finished!

Owning Your Behavior Through Faith

What does it really mean to take ownership of the way we think, speak, and act—especially when it’s easier to blame our circumstances, other people, or what we’ve been through?

In this episode, we’re talking about the connection between faith and personal responsibility. Through a faithful lens, we’ll explore what it looks like to recognize our own behavior, take accountability for our choices, seek God’s guidance, and allow him to transform the areas of our lives that need growth.

Faith isn’t about pretending we get everything right. It’s about having the humility to admit when we’re wrong, the courage to change, and the trust to let God shape us into who he has called us to be.

If you’re ready to stop making excuses, grow in accountability, and walk more intentionally in your faith, this conversation is for you.

What does it really mean to live your faith out loud? Living faith out loud is about choosing to live boldly, authentically, and unapologetically in your faith—not just on Sundays, but in every part of everyday life.

It means honest conversations, personal stories, encouragement, and real-life lessons. In this episode we’ll explore what it looks like to follow God when life gets messy, uncertain, or even beautiful, and everything in between.

This is a space for anyone who wants to grow deeper in their relationship with God, find courage in faith, and learn how to let beliefs shape the way to love, lead, serve, and live.

Faith was never meant to be hidden. Come as you are and be who you were always meant to be.

Mom's: The Closest Thing to God

There’s something extraordinary about a mother’s love. The way she shows up, sacrifices, protects, forgives, encourages, and somehow always seems to know when we need her most. In so many ways, moms are the closest thing to God we can experience here on Earth.

Today’s episode is dedicated to the incredible women who have shaped our lives in ways big and small. We’re sharing amazing mom stories—each one completely different, but all connected by the same powerful thread: love.

Some of the stories will make you laugh, some may bring tears, and others might remind you of a special mom in your own life. From the everyday moments that often go unnoticed to the unforgettable sacrifices that define a lifetime, these stories celebrate the strength, wisdom, and unconditional love of mothers.

I've been sharing fun summer reads on my Delilah Book Club page, one of them titled, "Every Beat After," by Sara B. Larson. It's a super sweet love story, playing out in a little bakery in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Liv is a heart transplant survivor, living in the fragile space between gratitude and fear. Running her family's cozy -but financially struggling- bakery gives her purpose. Hunter's a guarded, cynical, marketing expert who steps in with a plan to save the bakery... When all kinds of sparks fly!

This is Sara's adult novel debut and she's pretty excited about it. She joins us today to talk about where her inspiration for the book came from, how she juggles writing, parenting, and running a commercial preschool, and so much more. Drop on in!

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, D.C., has written several books exploring courage, turning points, and faith. These books, for adults, younger readers, and now, children, focus on how ordinary people learn to be brave through choices they make every day.

Her new children's picture book is rooted in a simple idea; Bravery isn't something we're born with, it's something we practice. Through everyday moments that may seem small to adults but feel big to children, "I Can Learn to Be Brave" encourages young readers to discover courage one step at a time.

What an inspiring conversation this is, with an insightful (and delightful) guest! Join us!

Welcome my friend I’m so glad you’re here. Today we’re talking about something we all experience but don’t always listen to—our instincts. That quiet voice inside that nudges us toward a decision, warns us when something feels off, or reminds us to take a chance even when we can’t explain why.

In a world full of opinions, advice, and constant noise, it can be easy to ignore our own inner guidance. But what if one of the most powerful tools we have is the ability to trust that voice ?

In this episode, we’ll explore what it really means to trust your instincts, how to tell the difference between intuition and fear, and why learning to listen to that quiet inner voice that can lead to greater confidence, stronger decisions, and a more authentic life. Whether you’re facing a major life choice or simply trying to reconnect with your inner voice, I hope today’s conversation encourages you to trust what you already know deep down.
