30. A Mafia Hitman, A Prison Sentence, and the Miracle That Changed Everything | Philip Hicks
Join us for a truly remarkable story of redemption with guest Phillip "Wildman" Hicks. Once a man living life in the fast lane, Phillip's world was one of reporting sports, eating fire, and partying with the likes of Jimmy Buffett, Hunter S. Thompson, and Robin Williams. But this high-octane lifestyle came to a screeching halt after a botched burglary and a violent confrontation with a mafia hitman left him on the wrong side of a .357 Magnum. This episode dives into the incredible series of events that could only have been orchestrated by God.
In his powerful testimony, Phillip recounts the shocking details of the shootout that nearly cost him his life, leaving him with a shattered femur and facing a bleak future. While lying in a hospital bed, sentenced to life plus 15 years in prison and overcome with despair, a divine appointment changed everything. A young Christian man shared the simple truth of the gospel, leading Phillip to a profound encounter with Jesus Christ. What follows is a miraculous journey through the legal system, where his life sentence was ultimately vacated in a stunning display of God's sovereignty and grace.
Today, Phillip and his wife have embarked on a new mission. Having sold their house, they now travel the country in an RV, ministering to those in the prison system through their organization, "Jesus Behind Bars." This episode is a testament to the fact that no one is beyond God's reach. Phillip's journey from a "rebel without a cause" to a man filled with purpose and faith demonstrates how God can take the most broken stories and use them for His glory, bringing hope and new life to countless others.
