Show Notes

In this long-form conversation, USAID’s faith-based office director Adam Phillips talks about his journey in faith-rooted advocacy that ultimately led him to a position in the Biden-Harris Administration.  

From Guatemala to Ethiopia, from clean water to COVID, Phillips discusses his work identifying and coordinating with embedded faith communities around the world that are the “last mile,” as he says, “loving their neighbor as themselves, and in their own traditions, and looking to serve the greater good.” 

Hear his deep convictions about why unity is critical to solving the world’s biggest problems, and why he believes “the divisions that we might have at home can translate into opportunities to lean in together and serve our neighbors around the world.” 

Adam Nicholas Phillips is USAID’s director of the Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Former lead pastor at Christ Church: Portland, he has served in community development and advocacy initiatives with the ONE Campaign, World Vision, Micah Challenge, Bread for the World, One Days Wages, and Oasis.
