About the Author
David Phillips's journey is a testament to resilience, faith and the transformative power of second chances. Born into a family deeply rooted in Christian ministry, his father, Dr. Keith Phillips, founding World Impact, an inner-city ministry and his grandfather co-founding World Vision, David's heart for those in need was cultivated from a young age. David is a dynamic and results-oriented executive with a passion for entrepreneurship and social impact projects.
David was arrested by federal agents in 2017, facing charges (18 U.S. Code § 1958 - Use of interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire) that would forever alter his life. David maintained his innocence and refused to consider a plea deal that required him to admit to something he did not do, yet offer a significant sentence reduction. Through a tumultuous legal battle marked by injustice and corruption, David found himself incarcerated, navigating the complexities of the criminal justice system firsthand.
In prison, amidst the darkness and despair, David discovered a profound relationship with Christ that transcended the confines of his cell. Immersed in prayer, Scripture, and a renewed purpose to serve others, he experienced God's presence and guidance in the most unlikely of places. Despite the challenges and dangers of life inside, David became a beacon of hope, advocating for justice and assisting fellow inmates with legal matters, securing the early release of several, including himself.
As the Founder and President of Brand 316, Inc, David has pioneered a scalable Christian prison ministry aimed at nationwide implementation. Through comprehensive 52-week training programs he focuses on total reintegration training for inmates released emphasizing personal, professional, and spiritual development. David's commitment to providing the tools needed for success is reflected in the strategic partnerships he has cultivated with businesses, churches, and individuals to ensure immediate employment, mentorship, and acceptance for Brand 316 members upon release.
