Meet Phil & Diane Comer

When the Jesus Movement swept through California in the 1970’s, Phil was a drummer in a rock band called, The Chosen Few. Within days of hearing the Gospel for the first time, he surrendered his life to Jesus, stumbling his way to authentic faith for about four years before he chose, once and for all to follow Jesus and be baptized.

Not wanting to return to a lifestyle that kept pulling him away from real faith, he quit the band and began serving in the only way he new how- by playing drums. Which led to leading worship, which eventually led to full time ministry as a pastor on staff at one of California’s first mega-churches.

That’s where Diane and Phil met. Phil— a new believer, with scant background of biblical faith— and Diane— also a new believer— with even less background of faith. By the time they met and married, Phil had already been a pastor for three years. Diane spent the next years delighting in serving by his side, finding her niche in mentoring women and mothering their four children.

What pastors and leaders are saying about Intentional

“I’ve known Phil and Diane from their first date. Their walk with God has been pristine. Their marriage is rock solid. Their children walk with God and serve Him wholeheartedly. The principles in this book are based on Scripture and the applications are clear and helpful. I pray that it will help many families who want to bring up godly children and want to know how to do it from a godly, thoughtful, loving, and wise couple.”
