Phil “PJ” on Faith, Music Ministry and Finding Purpose | You’re Beautiful with Brian Trust

Phil “PJ” joins You’re Beautiful with Brian Trust for a candid conversation about returning to church, growing through faith and using music to encourage others. He discusses singing at St. James in Alton and with the Great River Choral Society, as well as the connection he finds between music and the book of Psalms.

PJ reflects on 2 Samuel 7:22 and Psalm 118, explaining what the passages mean to him and how they point to God’s presence and Jesus as the cornerstone. He and Brian also talk about gratitude, humility, life lessons and recognizing personal gifts.

The conversation addresses anxiety, depression, financial hardship and the difficulty of asking for help. PJ encourages listeners who feel overlooked or without purpose to persevere, seek trustworthy support and remain grateful for the small things while building their faith.
