On this episode of If You Only Knew I am joined in the studio by my sweet friend, Delia McMillan. Delia and I met years ago at church and instantly clicked. I remember one Sunday we completely missed Sunday School because we fell into such a deep conversation sitting on a bench outside the choir suite. Delia is a great storyteller, so I wasn’t surprised when she came to me a couple of years ago looking for a space to work on a book that the Lord was calling her to write. I was intrigued by the working title “There are Beautiful Dolls in Western Auto” and couldn’t wait to hear what this book would be about. Delia said it was a memoir. Having learned some of her testimony over the years and experienced her love for the Lord and for other people I knew it was going to be impactful.
I’d wanted to have Delia on my podcast since the beginning, she was hesitant, but when we met for coffee recently, she shared a small excerpt of a spoken word piece she had written. She needed to get it recorded and I seized the opportunity to invite her into my podcast studio to record the spoken word and, if she felt comfortable, to talk with her about the journey she has been on with her memoir. As always Delia and I had a great conversation, and I am excited for you to listen in.
Thank you, Delia, for trusting me with the story of your journey.
