SEASON 4, EPISODE 8

Welcome to Backstage with Randy Phillips - a lighthearted dialogue meant to inspire every heart and home to live a life of purpose. Join host Randy Phillips backstage with legendary Pastor Jim Cymbala of The Brooklyn Tabernacle for an inspiring conversation filled with wisdom, humility, and deep faith.

Hear Pastor Cymbala's raw journey—from struggling in a tiny Brooklyn church with poor sermons and tiny offerings to leading a powerful move of God through prayer alone. Discover how a life-changing moment on a fishing boat led to the revelation that prayer is God's channel for grace, provision, and true revival. This heartfelt discussion offers hope for anyone feeling spiritually dry, reminding us that God still moves mightily when His people humble themselves and pray. Whether you're seeking renewal in 2026 or encouragement to trust God one day at a time, this interview points you back to the power of prayer and the beauty of a life surrendered to Jesus.

SEASON 4, EPISODE 6

Welcome to Backstage with Randy Phillips - a lighthearted dialogue meant to inspire every heart and home to live a life of purpose.

What is life really like for a Christian pastor in Jerusalem today? In this powerful Backstage conversation, Texan-raised Pastor Chad Holland (leader of King of Kings Community) pulls back the curtain on raising kids under rocket fire, facing real persecution from Orthodox groups, and pastoring in a nation where 70% are secular and only 0.2% know Yeshua as Messiah. From mandatory military draft at 18 to sharing Jesus with both secular and ultra-Orthodox Jews, Chad’s raw stories of faith, courage, and hope will challenge your view of Israel, deepen your prayer life, and remind you that God is still moving powerfully in the Holy Land. If you’ve ever wondered how to pray for Israel with understanding, need fresh fire for your own faith in hard places, or long to see revival, this episode is for you.
