Aaron Phillips & Jen Phillips
About
Jen…
Jen Phillips is the only child of John and Debbi Robie.
Jen grew up with a fundamental Baptist upbringing and has more vivid
memories of being at church than being at home. She and her
parents were missionaries to India when Jen was 8 years old, and they lived in
India for 1 year before
returning to the U.S. As she got
older, Jen departed from her Biblical upbringing and drifted further and further
from the Truth, as there were many painful circumstances in her family that
caused her to doubt everything she had ever been taught. After
marrying Aaron in 1998 and having her only son Caleb in 2001, Jen was still far
away from God. Then one day in April 2004, everything
changed. Jen and Aaron went to see Mel Gibson’s film The
Passion of the Christ. She always knew the story, but it had
never penetrated her heart. Even though at age 3 she had prayed
“the sinner’s prayer”, there was no lasting fruit of evidence of being a
follower of Christ. After viewing The Passion, she was face
to face with her own sin and need for a Savior. That day, she gave
her whole heart to Christ and was born again. Over the following
year, song after song kept pouring from her heart when she would read the
Scriptures. To date, she has written over 60 songs because of the
miraculous change that took place on one single day.
Jen plays the piano, celtic tuned
guitar, and adds background vocals. She wrote all the lyrics and
music for the songs on Caleb the Spy’s debut album.
About
Aaron…
I went to church all my life and I thought I was saved after saying the sinner's prayer at a church group called "Change Point" and then getting baptised. I'm not really sure why but I just never got it. There was no fruit in my life and no evidence that I was a child of God. Then in February of 2007 I listened to "Hell's Best Kept Secret" by Ray Comfort and I repented of my sins and gave my heart to Jesus Christ.
There are many false converts in the church today, I should know, I was one of them. It was "The Truth Project" that softened my heart to the Gospel and it was "Hell's Best Secret" that made me realize that I was NOT a child of God. Since then I've been very sensitive to the fact that many in the church think they are a child of God, but really aren't. See Matthew 7:21 and Mark 4:19
My wife and I use the music of "Caleb The Spy" to glorify, praise and worship God and that truly is such an amazing privalege!
Aaron sings lead vocals, plays
lead/rhythm guitar, sings background and plays drums and bass.
