Phil Allen is a hospice chaplain, former pastor, and writer whose work invites people to notice God in the quiet and unremarkable corners of everyday life. After thirty years in ministry, Phil stepped away from the pulpit and into a season of disorientation that reshaped how he understands faith, presence, and grace.
