Living Hope with Phil Wickham

from Doable Discipleship · host Saddleback Church

“The cross has spoken, I am forgivenThe king of kings calls me His ownBeautiful savior, I'm Yours foreverJesus Christ, my living hope”These lyrics are some of countless others written by Phil Wickham sung at church services across the world every weekend. Ever since his first album released in 2003, Phil’s songs have become part of the catalog for Christian worship, with popular songs including House of the Lord, Battle Belongs, I Believe, Living Hope, Sunday is Coming, and This is Amazing Grace. What I wanted to know is where do these songs come from? What goes into writing a song that resonates with a generation? In today’s episode, I talk with Phil about how he finds inspiration for songs, his process in songwriting, what his quiet times look like, parenthood, lessons he’s learned, and much more. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.
