Faithful Fridays is featured on The Dr. Oz Show every Friday in February. On the third of four Faithful Fridays on The Dr. Oz Show, television host Kathie Lee Gifford—and Dr. Oz—explore faith in the face of deep loss and shares how faith helped her handle grief.
When her husband, NFL legend and broadcaster Frank Gifford, died, the buoyant Kathie Lee Gifford hit a wall. But her story doesn’t stop there because she also believes in “more than here, more than now.”
Kathie Lee Gifford, with Hoda Kotb, co-hosts the fourth hour of NBC’s Today Show. Gifford also devotes considerable time to helping abused, neglected, sick, and poverty-stricken children through organizations such as Childhelp, where she is spokesperson. She also helps Association to Benefit Children (ABC), which sponsors Cassidy’s Place and Cody House in New York City, named after Gifford’s children.
Last week Dr. Oz discussed a miraculous medical recovery that only God can explain. Dr. Oz guest Hillsong New York Pastor Carl Lentz, and pediatrician and parenting expert Dr. Harley Rotbart, discussed medical “miracles” otherwise impossible to explain.
Coming up on February 24th, the fourth week in the series, DeVon Franklin and the all-star panel of faith leaders are back and introduce The Dr. Oz Show audience to ways faith can lift every area of life. They conduct live interventions with people struggling with their love life and career.
DeVon Franklin is the man Oprah Winfrey calls “a bonafide dynamo . . a different kind of spiritual teacher for our times.” DeVon is an award-winning Hollywood producer, best-selling author, renowned preacher and motivational speaker—a growing force in media. His commitment to uplift the masses through entertainment has made DeVon a leading spokesperson on faith, spiritual wellness and personal development. Beliefnet named him one of the “Most Influential Christians Under 40.” DeVon produced the hit film Miracles from Heaven; wrote the No. 2 New York Times best-selling self-help book, The Wait, with his wife, actress Meagan Good; and is producing the upcoming animated film, The Star.
Dr. Oz says, “Faith and spirituality don’t live in a Sunday-sized compartment, or even weeklong just within the walls of a church building. Faith threads through every aspect of what makes life better.”
From serving as the health expert on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Oz vaulted to international acclaim with The Dr. Oz Show. Seen around the world by millions daily, Dr. Oz helps viewers balance life physically, mentally and spiritually. Still performing 100 cardiac surgeries each year, Dr. Oz is a professor of surgery at Columbia University and directs the Complementary Medicine Program at New York Presbyterian Hospital.
