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.
