On this episode of KTLF Spotlight, we sit down with Phil Wickham for a powerful and personal conversation about faith, family, and legacy.Phil shares how his parents, who came to Christ during the Jesus Movement of the 1970s and traveled in Christian bands, shaped not just his love for music, but his understanding of God as a good Father. It is a story rooted in real life, lived out faith, and generational impact.You will also hear the incredible connection between his family and the events portrayed in Jesus Revolution, including how his dad came to faith, the role of key figures from that movement, and why a place called Pirates Cove means so much to him personally.This is more than a conversation about music. It is a reminder that what God does in one generation can echo into the next.

When Tasha Layton sings “Meet Me in the Valley,” she’s not speaking metaphorically. She actually went there.In this powerful conversation with Danielle Marie, Tasha shares the story behind the song… including a solo trip into Death Valley where she spent three days alone with God. It wasn’t a stunt, it was personal. A response to a past season marked by deep pain, including a suicide attempt, and a longing to truly meet God in the lowest places.This episode explores what it means to walk through the “valley” seasons of life (not avoid them) and how God doesn’t wait on the mountaintop. He meets us right there in the middle of the struggle.If you’ve ever wondered where God is in your hardest moments… this conversation is a reminder: He’s already there.
