About Grace Ops

You're carrying more than anyone knows. From the outside it looks handled. You know better. Picture a house that doesn't shake when things go wrong. A marriage with nothing hidden in it. Kids who don't flinch in a room full of adults. Sleep that actually comes, because you're not holding the whole thing up alone. That house is possible. Most of us just never saw one up close. We're Brian and Kristi Phillips. We planted a church together and have spent our lives on this. You'll hear from both of us — marriage, raising children, discipline, money, integrity, courage. No performance. No pretending. No six-step formulas. It started with men. It was never only about men. A house stands on a man and a woman who both know who they are. Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Grace doesn't excuse weakness. It trains you to overcome it. It isn't about perfection; it is about pursuit. Free → graceops.net

   The Week I Was Shutting It Down — God Handed Me the Town’s Biggest Bar

   Send us a text Three years of wilderness had me down to 50 people and a bank account on fumes. I was one week from shutting the whole thing down — already writing the goodbye speech in my head. That same week God took me past the biggest bar in town — boarded up, foreclosed, dead neon — and said clear as day: “This one’s yours.” This is the raw story of the moment God hands a man new ground when quitting is the only thing that makes sense. If you’re on the edge of tapping out and something im...

   The Day I Obeyed And The Room Emptied

   Send us a text Eighteen years ago, God cornered me in prayer and said, “Your excuse doesn’t excuse you. Preach the full gospel.” Days later I did it: no filters, no apologies, Holy Spirit front and center. I walked out feeling like I’d finally obeyed. Three weeks later, half the room was gone. This is the raw story of the day obedience cost me the crowd, launched three brutal years of wilderness, and showed me the difference between a congregation and a remnant. If you ...

   Self Control Develops Godliness

   Send us a text Most men want to lead, but few have mastered themselves. In this episode, Brian Phillips lays down the truth — you can’t call yourself a man of God if you’re ruled by your emotions, your flesh, or your habits. Drawing from Proverbs 25:28, “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls,” Brian exposes how weakness isn’t from lack of power but lack of discipline. Learn how the Holy Spirit builds real strength from the inside out — so you can stand f...

Published 10 Dec 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So I was bummed. I was like, oh man, I blew the deal. It's just not gonna happen. Oh, how was things at the church? Hard. Very hard. How was morale? Oh, it was more and more difficult. The terrain was gnarly. And when did the bank call? Christmas time of 2011. They said, hey, when you get back after the holidays, put a fresh offer in. right at the start of 2012, and we'll accept your offer. I was excited. I was like, dude, this is cool. So we finally had an accepted offer. So in January 2012, our eight-week clock started. And I remember in that first quarter there, not too long after that eight-week clock started, I'd met with somebody who had called me and said, hey, I'd like to meet with you. […]
