I haven’t had the opportunity to listen to your new CD, but am sure that it will be wonderful!! Pastor Rob ( Vista, CA Calvary) has given it rave reviews and it was sold out when I got in line! I hope you are going to be coming to Vista soon, my 7 yr. old daughter is in love with you. We missed your last performance………. God Bless
Congrats Phil! This record is AMAZING! We can’t stop listening to it.
This one deserves a Dove, if not a Grammy. For reals.
