“In six months you’re gonna be dead or in prison unless you come home to me right now.”

Lyle Phillips was 21 and selling cocaine out of a Bowling Green apartment when his childhood friend got arrested on the way back to his place with two kilos and 250 pounds of weed. That night, alone and not even high, he watched someone walk past his second-floor window. Nobody was there. He says Jesus walked into that room and gave him six months.

Before that: cocaine in high school, heroin and meth at 18, a dog room in a crack house, the backseat of a 1987 Caprice, drive-bys, a best friend shot dead in the street, 17 days of withdrawal in solitary and a court-ordered rehab inside a mental hospital.

After that: nine months of sermons on the couch with his dad, $100 a week washing a pastor’s car in Texas, a year and a half in Mozambique, five years in India buying kids out of slavery, and a church in East Nashville that started with 12 people in a free building and now has 1,200 every Sunday.

We talk about his first sermons (he plagiarized them), what a church actually costs to run, who can fire a pastor, Joel Osteen and the prosperity gospel, and why I keep showing up to church feeling like a fraud.

Heroin in one arm, meth in the other, at 18.

He sold cocaine in his Kentucky high school, slept in a dog room at a crack house and got shot at in drive-bys. At 19 his best friend was killed in the street over a crack deal. At 21 his buddy got pinched with two kilos and 250 pounds of weed on the way to his apartment, right after they counted $125,000 on the kitchen table.

Today he is Pastor Lyle Phillips, and 1,200 people show up to his church in Nashville every Sunday.
