Chynna Phillips Story
Chynna Phillips
A singer in the 1990's music group Wilson Phillips: nominated for 3 Grammy Awards
PC Full length Version

She is the offspring of one of rock music’s first power couples, John and Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas, and Chynna Phillips grew up in a show-business world apart from God.
In the early 1990’s, Chynna teamed with sisters Carnie and Wendy Wilson (daughters of Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson) to form Wilson Phillips. The collaboration produced one of the most successful albums of the new decade, with three #1 singles and worldwide sales of over 10 million.
Wilson Phillips was nominated for 3 Grammy Awards, and was considered one of the hottest groups in music.
But within three years the group disbanded.
Chynna briefly pursued a solo career and got married to actor Billy Baldwin, all the while searching for true fulfillment in her life.
“It just didn’t seem fair,” she says. “I was searching for God for so long.”
Then she began to notice the changes in her brother-in-law, Stephen Baldwin, whom she had known from his days as one of Hollywood’s genuine free spirits.
When Stephen told her that he had given his life to Christ, she laughed.
“I had a deluded image of what it meant to be a Christian,” she says. “I thought you had to be perfect, and it’s the exact opposite.”
Skeptical of the positive changes in Stephen and his wife Kennya, Chynna began to ask questions about their new relationship with Jesus Christ.
“I’ve always felt a tug on my heart towards Jesus…always. Even as a little girl. But I felt I could never live up to what Jesus would expect of me. [When I saw what He had done in Stephen’s life], it came back to that tug I had felt for so many years.”
Chynna committed her life to Christ in 2003.
“Jesus just wants me to allow myself to be carved into His image,” she says. “The more I do, the more I realize that I become more of myself…more of whom I authentically, truly am.”
Would you like Jesus to start carving you into His image? Let Jesus show you how. If you don’ t know Jesus, we encourage you to pray the following:
Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me be the person You want me to be. Amen.
Saying this prayer is the first step toward a personal relationship with Jesus. We would love to pray for you and send you further information.
