Coffee With Phil

Great conversations change people.

Not the polished, soundbite-ready kind — the real ones. The ones where someone says something and you find yourself pulling over the car to sit with it.

That’s Coffee With Phil.

Every week, host Phil Strong — author, bookseller, and lifelong student of intentional living — sits down and shares ideas worth your time. It’s all about faith made real. Intentional self-leadership. Books. Purpose. Mental models. The examined life. The unhurried life.

If you’ve ever wanted a podcast that treats you like an intelligent adult with a hunger for more, you just found it. Start with any episode. You’ll know within five minutes if this is your kind of conversation.

CWP.187. "Be Like Me," says God | Faithfulness Ain't Feelings (6) – Coffee With Phil

Not that long ago, on a walk, I asked God a question I wasn't sure I should ask — whether there was something new He wanted to say over this season of my life. What I heard back wasn't what I expected. He didn't give me an answer. He gave me a word to go study: faithfulness. The Hebrew word for it, specifically.So that's what I've been doing. This series is the fruit of that wandering, studying, praying, and seeking.  This series is about the shape of my process: a word whispered to me sent me back into Scripture to test it — that's rhema leading to logos. And Scripture, once I actually sat in it, started speaking to me again, personally — logos leading back to rhema. I believe that's how the Living Word is supposed to work. Not instead of the Bible. Through it, and back into real life.This series is about what's happening underneath all of that. What a single root word, buried in the Hebrew text, is doing to my inner world as I actually let it in.Come with me. This podcast isn't a lecture — it's a journey I'm already on, and I'd rather not walk it alone.Episode 1 – One Root, One Word — Introducing AmanEpisode 2 – He is FaithfulEpisode 3 – Steadfastness.Episode 4 – The Power Couple.Episode 5 – Don't Drop the BabyEpisode 6 – "Be Like Me," says GodEpisode 7 – coming soonPhil's latest book: The Heaviness of HopeGet your free chapter here.
