Phil Callaway: 我从童年时期就对喜剧产生了兴趣，并在青少年时期认识到福音的真实性。我的父母的信仰对我影响深远，他们言行一致，为我祈祷。虽然我的母亲曾经认为我无法同时成为一名喜剧演员和虔诚的基督徒，但这并没有阻止我将喜剧作为传达福音的方式。我的妻子也给予我极大的支持和鼓励，她鼓励我通过讲述故事来传递希望。我的写作生涯始于撰写关于家庭生活的短文，后来出版了多本书籍，并开始进行公开演讲。起初我非常紧张，但通过上帝的引导和妻子的鼓励，我克服了恐惧，并从中获得了极大的喜乐。我意识到上帝使用那些觉得自己不胜任的人来完成他的工作，因为这能更好地彰显上帝的荣耀。我的事工不仅限于教会，我还向世俗观众（例如公立学校教师）演讲，向他们传递希望。幽默是疗愈力量，我的广播节目帮助许多人走出抑郁。我鼓励听众将生活中可能导致他们失败的事情转化为帮助他人的动力。 Wayne Shepherd: 菲尔·卡拉威难以用简单的词语描述自己的工作，但他以强大的方式被上帝使用。他的事工独特而有影响力，将喜剧与福音巧妙地结合在一起，为人们带来希望和鼓励。他分享了生命中许多重要的经历，包括他父母的信仰、妻子的支持、以及那些对他产生积极影响的老师们。他强调了幽默作为疗愈力量的作用，以及感恩和耐心在他生命中的重要性。他鼓励人们找到上帝的呼召，并坚持不懈地去追求。
