I’m Amy Phillips and welcome to my journey from fear to faith.
I’m most importantly a lover of Jesus, then a wife, mother, pastor, speaker, and podcaster. I became an ordained Pastor through Messenger Fellowship in 2014. I was a staff pastor (Women’s and then Connection Pastor) at The Gate Church in Franklin, TN from 2009 until May 2019 (with one year off in 2013!) I’m currently finishing my Master’s degree in Spiritual Formation and my certification in Spiritual Direction at Portland Seminary.
I’m the pastoral covering for the Relevé One Foundation where we take movement and mentoring to women coming out of hard life circumstances. I am also have my own pastoral counseling and spiritual direction practice. I’m available for speaking at retreats, congregations, or on podcasts! I am also available with Pow{h}er 432 Ministries for complete women’s retreats and/or worship movement for a retreat or event.
Friend,
So glad you are here. I hope you find a refuge of faith here in my podcast and teachings. These teachings are from my own life lessons of walking with Jesus. He and I have been on a journey of love since I was 18. I didn’t know then all that we would go through together and how much I needed Him, but He has stayed so near to me through sickness, death, and all the ins and outs of being a wife, mom, co-worker, and friend. I have by no means “gotten there”, but we are getting there together. On this journey I have had to fight hard against fear and allow faith to grow. It’s been a process that’s still going, but I have much greater faith that Jesus will finish what He started in me! (and you!) Jesus has changed me, transformed me, delivered me from all kinds of stuff and I believe He wants that for you as well!
I hope to impart crazy, outrageous faith in all my messages that cause you to believe in a God who not only formed you, but created you with an overwhelming love. And I hope we laugh while doing it!
