Keeping the Right Voices with Randy Phillips

Feb 10, 2026 | The Professional Noticer

On this week’s episode of The Professional Noticer, Andy hosts Randy Phillips—founding member of the Dove Award–winning trio Phillips, Craig & Dean, and author of “Guppy and the Silvery Hook,” his new children’s book.

Tune in to hear how a simple bedtime story Randy created for his daughters grew into a meaningful tool for helping children navigate peer pressure, bullying, and wise decision-making. Through the story of a curious little fish and a tempting “silvery hook,” Randy and Andy talk about why rules aren’t meant to keep kids from having fun—but to keep them safe. They also discuss the growing number of voices competing for children’s attention today, the role parents and grandparents play in reinforcing truth, and why reading with kids remains one of the most powerful ways to shape hearts, build connection, and keep the right voices close.
