Ryan Seacrest Gets Emotional Talking About Giving Back, Helping Sick Kids - Inspirational Videos

Celebrities might be well-known, but they are also still human. In this video Ryan Seacrest gets emotional talking about giving back and helping sick kids.

Ryan runs a foundation with his parents and sister called the Ryan Seacrest Foundation. Although he is known for his incredible hosting skills on television, Ryan also has a heart for sick children. There is a place called Seacrest Studios that is inside of Children’s Hospital. Ryan tears up talking about seeing the challenge on a mom and dad’s face who are walking through their child’s sickness. Ryan shares that a boy told him it was going to be a great Christmas because he “got approved to get new lungs.” Perspective is everything.

A young boy named Payson Inkley comes into the studio and talks for a moment to encourage other kids to make their day better. Ryan gives the boy dressed in a button-down shirt and tie a hug and promotes his skills. 

The child beams with excitement. Ryan then reveals that he is going to be the new host for Wheel of Fortune. He is very complimentary of Pat Sajak and shares his excitement to work alongside Vanna White, calling her a “national treasure.” 

Ryan tells of the importance of giving back when you are given some success in life. He desires to help others find happiness, too. 

It is so valuable as believers in Christ to love others well by seeing them, giving your time to them, blessing them financially, and praying for them. Even if we do not have the physical resources that Ryan has, we have our faith in Jesus to come alongside those in need and love them well. 

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7
