Hey Everyone.
Thanks for making last night such a special night. I am excited to hear how the record comes out. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show and thanks to everyone who watched it online. I had a great time and am so glad I was able to be a part of it.
I will have details soon about when the record will be available here on the blog, so keep checking back.
So, here’s a question. If you watched the show online what part of the country are you in? I know there were some ‘East Coasters’ watching and it was pretty late out there. Thanks again for everyone that was involved. And thank you so much Solid Rock Church.

May 10th, 2008 at 2:29 pmJoyfully participated with you all via web from Pleasant Hill, MO (right outside Kansas City).
Goodness Phil - I just saw you’re also playing today and tomorrow, too. You must be getting a bit worn. I’ll be liftin’ you and your health up in prayer.
P.S.
With all this business going on - don’t forget Mother’s Day tomorrow. I know God has blessed you with an incredible mother. He has used her to help shape who you are. Kiss and hug your mom (if you’re nearby), do something nice for her, and most importantly take time to remind her of your deep love and respect for her.
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.”
Psalm 127:3,4
Blessings to you - Melody

May 10th, 2008 at 6:15 pmAs one of the many “East Coasters” watching, I’d like to mention that York, PA Loves Phil Wickham!!!! I enjoyed every minute of it!

Ryan
May 10th, 2008 at 6:17 pmI watched from Kauai.. It’s about time you come here again Phil.. it’s been too long buddy. We miss you over here, but it was awesome to see you play live last night! Thanks, it was really great.

andi
May 10th, 2008 at 8:17 pmPhil, I’m from High Point, NC, and I didn’t get to see all of it, being on the road a bit for the beginning, but I saw the end! I truly appreciate how open you are talking about your conversations with God. The songs sounded so real and honest…thanks for sharing!

May 10th, 2008 at 8:27 pmI watched it from Houston - really liked hearing some songs not usually in your set.
Sara
May 10th, 2008 at 8:31 pmI’m one of those east coasters :)! I didn’t get to watch the whole thing because I had been out all night, but when I got home, around 12 am-ish, I got to watch the end. It was really cool to be able to watch a little bit of it even though I wasn’t there. Can’t wait to hear the album
Lanae
May 10th, 2008 at 8:59 pmWatched from TX!
Miguel
May 10th, 2008 at 9:50 pmhi phil.. wow the on-line show was just amazing! It was a live concert to me. I just want you to know that I was watching it from Bogotá, Colombia, in south-America - not in the country!! here it was 9:30 when there was the 7:30. I also wrote in the chat and met many other fans, it was a wonderful experience - talking with other real “faith-partners”, sharing that worship time, even through the internet. **/ I’m trying to do a translation from the original to Spanish of some of your songs because I want to spread your music and your “presence” at music here in Colombia maybe in the near future through “you tube” I suppose; It seems like nobody knows here that amazing passion you have for God. Thanks for everything.

Jim Wickham
May 11th, 2008 at 1:11 amHey Cousin,
Very nice show Friday night. You are better live than on your CD’s. Thanks for signing your two Cd’s for Brandon. And yes you are as good as if not better at it than your old man, SORRY JOHNNY!! For those of you that don’t know Phil’s father used to be a part of the 70’s Rock group The Way.
Hey Solid Rock, you guys need some better located seating, for those of us that do not or can not stand in the mosh pit for 2 plus hours, than off to one side of the stage. How about along the back wall next time so no one has to look around a ceiling support post.
Nathan C.
May 11th, 2008 at 5:50 amElijah and I and another friend were all watching from Indiana. Thanks a lot! It was awesome…there is no other word to describe it.
Josiah
May 11th, 2008 at 8:20 amHey Phil,
I think that the idea to put it up online was a great one. I watched the show in Ontario Canada. It was about 11 something at night when I watched it.
Have a great day

Can’t wait to hear to final thing.
God Bless ya Phil.
~Ellie
P.S. I agree with Jim Wickham. We do need more chairs there.
but for a Sarfield concert that was there a little more than a month ago, their wern’t any chairs and the show lasted like…. an hour and a half longer. Bye!
Ellie *solidrock601*

Great Job Phil, It was a good idea to put it up online. You should go to Morgantown WV, to the College. that would be great.
God Bless you and your team. May God do wonders in your life.

May 11th, 2008 at 7:38 pmPhil your show was incredible. The best part was that it was so intimate with just the acoustic and nothing else. The power of His spirit was really cool. Thanks so much for coming to Portland, to Solid Rock. I hope you come back soon and rock another concert. Thanks again for what you do. Your talent is amazing. God Bless.

May 11th, 2008 at 8:27 pmHey Phil-
I just want to say thank you for coming out to Solid Rock to worship! It was an amazing experience and your skills are pretty amazing! But in all seriousness God granted you with an amazing gift and I am so thankful that you are using it to spread the word of the Amazing GOD!! Keep it up!! Come back soon!
Adam
May 11th, 2008 at 9:58 pmPhil! I was at Solid Rock on Friday and such such a fantastic time. The Holy Spirit was definitely flowing and it truly was a worship experience that I didn’t want to end.
And I agree with Ellie, more chairs might be needed, or at least a softer floor to stand on
But I’m pretty sure everyone was so deep in worship no one even noticed the floor or lack of chairs!
Really though it was a great time.
PS (You might get a laugh out of this): I brought my good friend Allie who has never heard you sing before, and after the first chorus to desire she leaned over to me and said, “Oh my gosh, he sings like an angel!”
haha, have a blessed night phil.

May 12th, 2008 at 5:30 amHey Phil—I was watching from Virginia, about an hour outside D.C. It was awesome to see the show from over here. It was very late, which I was sort of thankful for since I got off work super late and was able to make it home before you came up.

May 12th, 2008 at 6:29 pmThat night at “The Way” was amazing! I shoved myself into a back corner and was in pure worship. I haven’t done that in a while and I loved every minute of it. Thanks for choosing Portland to do your live recording in. We were honored to have you!
Dave G
May 12th, 2008 at 6:42 pmThank you Phil for your heart. four of my friends hooked up our laptop into a projector. One of the best worship services I have ever seen, I we were not even there. “Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” John 4:23. Your a prime example of this scripture, thanks again phil.
unlikelyhero
May 12th, 2008 at 6:54 pmsaturday night we saw you in oceanside. which was totally a God thing. we were checking out a bible college close by and saw a flyer for the concert and decided to make the trek and see our favorite singer!
man oh man we were so BLESSED. some of us cried the whole stinking night ’cause it was WORSHIPFUL. the whole night you kept pointing us to Jesus and I think God used you to confirm some major stuff in my heart. I loved how at the end we were worshiping the Lord as you left the stage. Usually at the end of concerts the crowd is cheering the musician but Saturday we were cheering the creator of the musician.
I wish I could sit and talk with you for hours about what God has been doing in your heart and how he has inspired you to write such beautiful and godly songs.
you are truly a vessel of God. I intend on listening to your music until forever.
God bless you Phil, and i hope one day i’ll get to see you again.
PS: thanks for siging my shoe…is that the weirdest thing you;ve signe? hahaha

May 13th, 2008 at 12:25 pmI’m in New Jersey, I was definitely one of the people who was up late. I got half way through battling a cold and also having to wake up early the next morning for church. But I had a blast with what I saw … once I saw that it would be available online for free download. I fell asleep … but I loved what I saw!

This may have already been asked, but is there any way we can see it now even though it’s over?
I’m in California, by the way. not too far from San Diego.

May 14th, 2008 at 7:46 pmWell, you definitely had some “East Coasters”. I live in Miami! I watched it around 11:45pm. I had small group meeting and I got home a little late so I only saw the last 3 songs but it was definitely awesome. Can’t wait to hear the record. Although it seems you had some voice problems am I right?
Maria
May 16th, 2008 at 4:45 amGreetings Phil my favorite Anointed Christian Artist!
It was late here in Upstate Kingston New York and definitly past my bedtime but it was the wrap up of a real Holy Ghost evening. I watched the Lakeland Fla. outpouring online at Godtv w/ Todd Bentley from 7 PM EST - 11 PM. I also had your blog up on another screen so I was watching all that led up to your concert and from my bed watched your entire broadcast. It was a pleasure. Thank you. Please protect your wonderful voice by resting it enough.Our God is amazing and an awesome wave of His Glory & presence is swelling across the earth. May you increase in your fruitful songwriting so that many more will be led to know our great LOVE!
