Back on the mic after a little hiatus—and yes, Philip’s back too! This week, we’re opening up about something that’s been heavy on our hearts: what does it mean to wait on God when you feel like you’ve already heard Him?

Back by popular demand—Philip’s on the pod! In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s been on my heart for a while: victimhood culture. Why do so many of us cling to past hurts?
