You may know him (like I did) from the popular "Reacher" series, but it turns out there's  even more to Alan Ritchson than his ability to portray a swoony character with formidable strength and investigative prowess.
He stars, alongside Hilary Swank, in the heartwarming movie, Ordinary Angels, in theaters February 23. Based on a true story, Alan portrays a recently widowed husband and father with a critically ill child, determined but struggling. And he does so brilliantly. 
Pull up a chair and join us as we talk about the movie and so much more! You'll learn some fascinating things about this real-life hunky but humble husband and dad that just might inspire you be a better version of yourself. And if you don't already, you'll realize there are "ordinary angels" walking among us. ~ Delilah See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a delightful conversation Luke Smallbone and I had today! This charming half of the musical duo, for KING & COUNTRY is sharing some inside info on the movie, UNSUNG HERO, out now, about his musical family and their decision to move from Australia to the US on little more than a wing and a prayer.
Life was challenging for the Smallbone's and their 7 children, but a mother's love and strong faith carried them through the storms, helping them to find the joy, and the immense talent, within.
Luke co-produces and brother, Joel, who makes up the other half of for KING + COUNTRY, portrays their father in the film. All family members have cameos including another famous sister, Rebecca St. James! Get comfy and join us for a lovely chat. (And if you haven't already, go see UNSUNG HERO!)

JOHN ONDRASIK: Let Music Fill My World - Music Matters Challenge

Sir Nicholas 'Nicky' Winton was a young London stockbroker who visited Prague in December of 1938 where he discovers a large population of refugees fleeing the Nazis - and he knew he must do something, at least for the children. 

Back in London, Nick spent months arranging for foster families, passports, and documentation that would usher hundreds of children to safety... 669 children! 50 years later his story came to light in a remarkable way. Nick Winton lived his 106 years humbly, with the idea that service to others isn't a calling, it's simply what one does.
Today, his son, Nick Winton, Jr., a soft-spoken, compassionate, storyteller joins us to talk about his dad and the film "One Life", starring Sir Anthony Hopkins, that is in theaters now. You'll be so moved! ~ Delilah  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
