Jessica interviews her father, Phil Gilkey, about his lifelong walk with God — from growing up in church and a childhood profession of faith at 12 to a full, adult surrender during a revival. Phil shares how that decision transformed his inner life, Bible study habits, and daily spiritual practices.

The episode also covers how faith helped him cope with family losses, the difference between doing church work and having a relationship with Christ, and practical routines like early morning quiet time. 

This warm, honest conversation highlights gradual spiritual growth, real struggles (like temper), and the comfort of leaning on faith through life’s challenges — an encouraging testimony for anyone seeking a deeper commitment to Christ.
