    Thank you for providing us with this podcast! It has been a game changer for my family especially when my kids were babies & it was tricky to get to church every week. This podcast has been essential to me during this pandemic. Thank you so much.

    Love Phil as a pastor.

    Don’t know him but I’ve listened to his messages for at least two years now

    Love his heart. I believe he genuinely loves his congregation and prays for them. I love that he usually does a salvation call at the end of each message and how he brings it all together, by an added song or an invitation to receive Christ, it all blends beautifully. This is a good pastor!!!!

    Great Mother’s Day message, couldn’t get any better!

    Thanks
