SEASON 5, EPISODE 2

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 The Katinas—five Samoan brothers whose faith, family, and unmistakable harmonies have carried them through nearly four decades of music and ministry. From growing up in a family of 13 with a Marine and Pentecostal pastor for a father to singing “Oh, How I Love Jesus” as children, the brothers share the story behind their calling and the relationships that have kept them together for 38 years. They open up about losing their mother, learning to navigate conflict as brothers, the unseen spiritual disciplines behind longevity, and how gratitude can reset your heart when life doesn’t unfold the way you expected. Then, in one of the episode’s most vulnerable moments, The Katinas reveal that they’ve recently begun asking a difficult question: How will they know when it’s time to stop? Through laughter, live harmonies, honest reflection, and a moving tribute to their late father, this conversation is a reminder to stay grateful, fight for family, and remain faithful to whatever God has called you to do.

SEASON 5, EPISODE 1

Welcome to Backstage with Randy Phillips - a lighthearted dialogue meant to inspire every heart and home to live a life of purpose. Join Randy Phillips for a fascinating conversation with Rabbi Jason Sobel, Messianic rabbi, author, founder of Fusion Global, and spiritual advisor to The Chosen. Rabbi Jason shares how he helps bring the Jewish context of Jesus to life on screen, the supernatural encounter that led him to believe in Jesus as the Messiah, and why understanding the connection between the Old and New Testaments can transform the way we read Scripture. From the story of Joseph and the Jewish roots of the Last Supper to practical ways Christians can build meaningful conversations with Jewish friends, Rabbi Jason offers a fresh look at the life and ministry of Jesus. He also shares about writing with Kathie Lee Gifford before the conversation turns to antisemitism, Israel, Gaza, and his perspective on the spiritual and cultural forces shaping the conflict today.
