Following Jesus: Spiritual Ownership and Covenant Faith | Phill Tague

In this episode of The Soul Mirror with host Shreya, pastor, author, and storyteller Phill Tague shares his raw and unfiltered journey of faith. From growing up in a legalistic home to wrestling with hypocrisy, addiction, and surrender, Phill reveals how true intimacy with Jesus is not about airbrushed appearances but about covenant faith that costs something—and transforms everything. This conversation confronts shallow Christianity, explores the power of daily surrender, and calls believers to spiritual ownership in their everyday lives.

About the Guest:

Phill Tague is a pastor, author, and storyteller whose ministry challenges believers to move beyond surface-level Christianity into authentic covenant with Christ. Drawing from his own struggles, he speaks with honesty about surrender, spiritual intimacy, and living with ownership of faith in every space God places us. Phill is also the author of a thought-provoking book that invites readers to wrestle with raw questions of faith, intimacy, and discipleship.

Key Takeaways:

• Childhood experiences shape how we perceive God—but ownership of faith requires making it personal.

• Surrender to Jesus isn’t a one-time event; it’s a daily choice to deny self and follow Him.

• Crisis often refines faith, but consistent discipleship can grow without tragedy.

• Cheap substitutes of intimacy or control always cost more in the long run; covenant with Christ demands responsibility.

• True discipleship is about direction, not destination—point your life toward Jesus and keep stepping closer.

• Every believer is part of the priesthood of believers, called to take spiritual ownership of their circles of influence.

• Doubt is not the enemy of faith but an opportunity to choose trust and deepen relationship with God.

• God keeps every promise He actually makes—misplaced disappointment comes from expecting promises He never gave.
