      <description><![CDATA[<p>SEASON 4, EPISODE 8 </p><p>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. </p><p>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.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>SEASON 4, EPISODE 6 </p><p>Welcome to Backstage with Randy Phillips - a lighthearted dialogue meant to inspire every heart and home to live a life of purpose. </p><p>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. </p><p>STAY CONNECTED</p><ul><li>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifefamilymedia/</li><li>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LifeAustin</li><li>Apple Podcasts: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/randy-phillips/1618265626</li><li>Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/artist/13KLcr7XlewPs2Xva58AgU </li></ul><p>Connect With Pastor Randy: https://www.instagram.com/randypcd/ </p><p>Connect With Chad Holland and King of Kings Ministries: https://kkcj.org/ </p><p>#FaithInIsrael #MessianicJew #PrayForJerusalem #ChristianPodcast #IsraelToday #EndTimesTalk #FindHopeAgain #StandWithIsrael #RevivalFire </p><p>TIMESTAMPS </p><p>00:00 – A Texan Pastor in Jerusalem </p><p>00:38 – Called to the Jewish Homeland </p><p>02:12 – Culture Shock: 'Shalom Y’all' Doesn’t Work </p><p>04:24 – The Stunning Truth About Faith in Israel </p><p>06:29 – Surprising Persecution Source Revealed </p><p>08:40 – Guppy and the Silvery Hook Book Ad </p><p>09:48 – October 7th and the Media War </p><p>13:43 – Raising Kids for Mandatory Military Service </p><p>16:54 – Life Under Constant Rocket Alerts </p><p>18:49 – Only 22,000 Believers in All Israel </p><p>21:05 – How to Actually Share Yeshua in Jerusalem </p><p>22:38 – Closing Prayer & Support King of Kings </p><p> </p><p>Music: Alive - Instrumental by Lone Waves </p><p>Licensed through Musicbed (License Code: MB01IPNQAEO0FGD)</p>
