America Reads the Bible: Behind the Scenes — Phil King on Worship That Awakens a Nation

This week on Conversations with Christians Engaged, we’re continuing our series going behind the scenes of America Reads the Bible — the historic public reading of Scripture coming to the nation April 18–25, 2026 live from Washington, D.C.

In this episode, Bunni Pounds talks with worship leader and songwriter Phil King about the calling behind Heal Our Land—the official song of the movement. Phil shares his unexpected path into worship leading, how God moved his family to Amarillo, and the moments that awakened his burden to pray for America.

He tells the story of how the Holy Spirit birthed Heal Our Land in a moment of concern for the nation, reminding him that “there is no junior Holy Spirit”—God can use anyone who is surrendered. Phil also gives a glimpse into the music video shoot, which turned into a two-day prayer meeting filled with intercession and God’s presence.

This conversation will encourage you to pray boldly and believe for revival in our nation.

Join us as we continue to awaken and empower believers to pray, vote, and engage — and get ready for America Reads the Bible 2026.
