In this powerful episode of The Patrick Ishimwe Show, I sit down with Dr. Phil Faig, Senior Pastor of Old Town Community Church in Alexandria, Virginia, for an honest conversation about the state of the Church, the evolution of his calling, and why—after over 30 years of ministry—he finally had to speak his heart out loud.

From childhood memories in the pews to leading a local church through cultural and spiritual shifts, Pastor Phil reflects on what it means to be a faithful leader in today’s world. We discuss sermon planning, grief in ministry, community engagement, and why the Church must change to remain relevant and transformational. If you've ever wrestled with your calling, questioned the direction of modern ministry, or simply needed a raw, wise perspective—this episode is for you.
