Before starting Care Dogs, Delphine was a magazine journalist writing for titles like Marie Claire, GQ, HELLO, and Grazia—which is how we first met!

Beatrice (Bee) Go

Sports Journalist

(Manila)

Beatrice (Bee) Go is a freelance sports journalist based in Manila. In this episode, Bee shares how she got into sports journalism, the move from Rappler to freelancing, and how God shaped her during the pandemic. We also talk about family and cultural pressures, staying organised, approaching money with a kingdom mindset, the role of church community, and lessons she’s learning as a young woman in leadership. (Note: Bee has since launched Atleta Filipina!)

Dr. Amy Tsai

Hematologist

(Hong Kong)

Dr. Amy Tsai is a hematologist at one of Hong Kong’s largest public hospitals, caring for patients with all kinds of blood-related diseases. Our friendship is such a clear gift from God—we're very different and through her, I’ve seen how someone deeply rooted in science can also have full faith that God still works miracles. Whether you're in medicine or just curious about how God moves in hospital halls, I hope you enjoy this episode.

Crystal Yeap

Founder of slowlivecreate (Singapore)

Crystal Yeap is a Singapore-based Christian creative and entrepreneur, who founded slowlivecreate to help women slow down and reconnect with their creativity. Just a few years ago, she was living a fast-paced life as a fashion exec (working for brands like Bottega!), but God unfolded a new chapter for her. This episode is perfect for you if you sense God calling you to start something but don’t feel like a typical entrepreneur.

Doris Brougham

Founder of ORTV

(Taiwan)

At 12, Doris Brougham made a promise to God to serve in Asia—and at 96, she’s still faithfully doing just that. She arrived in Taiwan in 1951 and founded ORTV, a pioneering media company that shared the gospel through radio, TV, and print, becoming a beloved figure in Taiwan. Doris has impacted countless lives, including my grandpa and parents (more in this episode), and was recently honoured with Taiwan’s first Outstanding Women Award. Through it all, her humility remains, Praying this conversation inspires us to commit wholeheartedly to God.

Luise Berry

Women's Pastor at The Vine Church (Hong Kong)

Luise Berry was my women’s ministry pastor at The Vine Church in Hong Kong, and during a tender season in my life, I’ve experienced God’s love in so many ways through her and the women’s ministry team. Recently, Pastor Luise announced she and her husband would be following God’s call to Portugal, and with my own upcoming move, I had a lot of questions for her! How did God speak to her about serving in Asia? Why did she hesitate about moving to Portugal? What will she be doing there? If you’re facing a season of change and need encouragement to trust God’s plan, I pray this episode speaks to you.

Allicia Bankuti

Communications Manager at Ellel Ministries (Canada)

Experiencing inner healing and deliverance completely transformed my life. Through this process, I realized that struggles I thought were just “part of my personality” could actually be healed—if it’s not godly, it’s not from God! Allicia Bankuti of Ellel Ministries not only relates to this but has dedicated her life to helping Christians in this area. In this episode, she shares her powerful testimony of healing from strongholds and offers practical steps for seeking inner healing through personal prayer and formal programs. May we never settle for less than what Jesus died for us to have.

Sylvia Yu Friedman

Author, TV Host, and Anti-Trafficking Expert (Hong Kong)

How did a self-described party girl go from underage clubbing to becoming one of the world’s leading anti-human trafficking experts? Sylvia Yu Friedman, a Hong Kong-based filmmaker and investigative journalist, recently released her third book, A Long Road to Justice: Stories from the Frontlines in Asia. In this episode, Sylvia shares her research process for the book, thoughts on a rising "Esther" movement, a rock-bottom moment that led her to ask God, "What is worth dying for?", the dangers of perfectionism, the importance of guarding against pride, and advice for surrendering our goals to God.
