Philip was raised in a Christian home, the second of three children (brother Evan Wickham, sister Jillian Wickham), and after feeling the need to "make his faith his own" he began leading worship for his youth group at 13 years of age. He graduated from Calvary Christian School in Vista, California.
Wickham's father is currently a worship leader, and both of his parents were at one time members of Jesus movement band Parable. His older brother Evan Wickham is also a musician who used to serve at Calvary Chapel in Vista, and now currently serves at A Jesus Church-Westside, Portland, OR. His parents, John and Lisa (née, Irwin), encouraged Wickham to learn popular praise songs and to write his own. Wickham began his full-time music career by touring California and recording his first album.
On November 2, 2008, Wickham married his longtime girlfriend, Mallory Plotnik.
They have three daughters.
Phil Wickham is the debut album recorded by American Christian & gospel singer Phil Wickham, released on April 25, 2006.
Background
"Every song on the record is an adventure, which made making the record an unforgettable experience" Kipley says. "Phil has such an incredible sense of melody, lyrics that read like poetry, and I believe the listener will leave with feelings of the greatness of God, and at the same time the desire for God to have an intimate relationship with us."
"With his influences dating back to his parents’ tenure as a part of the Jesus Movement in bands The Way and Parable and with tunes reminiscent of Coldplay, there’s a beautiful simplicity that makes Wickham’s album truly unique." -CCM Magazine.
"I guess Phil Wickham from San Diego grew up listening to some of the artists I mentioned, he is also inspired by the modern singer/songwriter style where John Mayer comes in mind." -Melodic.net
Wickham is a small village and civil parish in Hampshire, England, about three miles north of Fareham. At the 2001 census, it had a population of 4,816.
Wickham has a wide and well-proportioned square lined with historic buildings and is designated a conservation area.
It was the fording place of the River Meon on the Roman road between Noviomagus Regnorum (Chichester) and Venta Belgarum (Winchester), and the inferred divergent point of the route to Clausentum (Bitterne). The Roman road from Wickham to Chichester is still followed today by local roads, passing behind Portsdown Hill to the north of Portsmouth Harbour and then onwards via Havant. In contrast, the route to Winchester is mostly likely lost through neglect in the Dark Ages, before present field patterns emerged.
There have been a reasonable number of sites identified nearby associated with Romano-British industry. These have mainly been pottery kilns focused around the limit of navigation of the River Hamble, near Botley. It is also here that a ford on the Clausentum road has been identified.
Here is my annual Easter video. This beautiful song is "Mercy" by Phil Wickham, one of my favorite Christian music artists. I take no credit for the pictures nor music other than compiling them.
Enjoy!

Mercy (Phil Wickham Cover)
Lyrics
Made from the dust and breathed into life
He stood unashamed with a fire in His eyes
The image of God walking upon the world
All of the earth was under His feet
Except for the fruit from a forbidden tree
He took a taste and that's how he breaks the world
He cried Mercy, Mercy
He broke the whole world with the fruit of a tree
Have mercy
Heaven to Earth came down from on high
With Hope in His name and a fire in His eyes
The fullness of God walking upon the world
He said He was love then proved it with blood
And rose from the dead to prove He was God
And that's what it takes for one man to save the world
Oh such Mercy, Mercy
He saved the whole world when He hung on a tree
Such mercy
Now here inside of our skin and bones
Heaven above is making it's home
The kingdom of God living up...
