What began as two friends—Phil Haberzettle and Jim Nickels—meeting for discipleship at a local coffee house quickly turned into something more. Each conversation kicked off the same way: a good cup of coffee and whatever was happening in the world that week. But without fail, those chats would naturally shift into deeper discussions about Scripture, the Church, and the life and teachings of Jesus.
One day, mid-sip and mid-thought, an idea sparked: *Why not take these conversations—raw, real, and rooted in faith—and turn them into a podcast?* And just like that, **Coffee with Phil and Jim** was born.
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, Phil is a passionate minister of the Gospel with a heart for seeing souls saved and lives transformed through discipleship. When he's not teaching or encouraging others in their walk with Christ, you'll probably find him geeking out over tech, enjoying a good snack, or sipping on a fresh cup of coffee (his favorite fuel).
Phil is also a proud husband and father to three amazing daughters who keep life joyful and beautifully unpredictable. Whether behind a mic or across the table, his mission is simple: point people to Jesus and walk with them as they grow in Him.
Originally James — a devoted husband, father of two, and proud grandfather many times over. Raised in the Bethany area of Oklahoma, Jimmy Nick carries with him a deep knowledge of the state's rich history and a heart shaped by years of faith and family. After a personal health battle drew him closer to God, he committed fully to following Christ and living out the truths of His Word. Since joining the church, he's become known not just by a new name, but by a renewed purpose: to see the church centered fully on Jesus and grounded in the truth of Scripture.
