About me:
I'm a poet, a minister, an Ambassador for Empowerment. I unapologetically teach and preach the Word of God, whether it is in Bible study on Friday nights, check out www.brushfirestudies.com, or through my poetry, see www.philthespokenword.com, or encouraging people to take care of their health through my health empowerment business (www.yesicoach.com). Yeah, it's a lot, i know, but they all tie in to the same thing, communicating EMPOWERMENT!

Hi Phil! Thanks for accept me. I really love your page - it's full of positive energy. Hope everything's goin' well. Have a wonderful week and God bless you. Best regards from Poland, Marika
Hey Phil. Hope you're rested up after delivering 5 sermons this weekend! :O I'm impressed & I was blessed by the message. Nice seeing u on Saturday. :) Many blessings!
May the Lord continue to use you as his instrument as you reach out to all those around you. May the Lord watch over you and bless you in all that you do.
What up Phil... Check out my new project, Life Cypha. It's the website and MySpace I talked briefly about when we were at Starbacks... It's on my top friends list...
Today I pray that the Lord would fill your lungs with his Word. I pray that as you teach, preach and pray that the Word would flow onto its hearers and rest. I also pray that it would cut away everything that is not of Him, that his living word would be active through out the enire place and touch the most dignified and the least of them alike. The hope is that the people may know yet again that the Lord lives and is truly concerned for them. Be of courage my brother in Christ.
