Meet our Founder,
Carre Phillips
I’ve owned a Bible for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve come to love reading and knowing Scripture, but my story didn’t begin that way.
Growing up in a Christian home, my parents introduced me to Jesus at an early age. Still, as a little girl, faith often felt more like a list of things I was supposed to get right than a relationship with a God who intimately knew and loved me. I remember sitting in church, flipping through the pages of my sparkling silver Bible while our pastor preached. The words on those pages were already making little imprints on my heart, even if I couldn’t see it yet.
My relationship with Jesus changed dramatically in college when I fully surrendered my life to him. I began opening my Bible with a fresh hunger, searching its pages for answers and trying to make sense of the pieces of my broken life. Somewhere amidst this journey of getting to know the real gospel message, something even greater happened. I began to realize that I wasn’t simply learning about the Bible. I was getting to know the God who has written the whole story.
For the first time, I wanted to understand Scripture—not because I was supposed to have a quiet time, but because the more I understood the words unfolding across its pages, the more deeply I came to know and love Jesus.
Even in the years of pursuing Jesus and serving in ministry that followed, I would never have called myself a perfectly consistent Bible reader. I’ve certainly never mastered the perfect morning quiet-time routine. Yet through all my imperfect and inconsistent time with the Lord, one thing has remained true: the more I meet him in his living Word, the more I know him. And the more I know him, the more I am transformed by him.
