Acting has always been a deep calling for me, and I am eager to use my talents to promote and share messages of faith, hope, and love. Inspired by the profound impact that films and performances can have, I am committed to crafting stories that resonate with people and spread the word of the Lord.
My mission as a Christian actress is to uplift and inspire audiences by portraying characters and narratives that embody Christian values.
I am particularly drawn to working with Hallmark and other similar platforms known for their wholesome content, as I believe they align closely with my personal and professional goals. By bringing my faith to my performances, I strive to be a positive role model and influencer in the entertainment industry. I’m currently working with an acting Coach in LA and I have an agent and a manager. My manager I’m so thankful for is Andrea Nittoli she is such a wonderful Christian role model for me. It is a blessing to have as a Christian manager. I feel That God is blessing me and guiding me on the path that he wants me to follow. Whatever I do, I want it to glorify him and I want it to be his will for me. I want to seek his will from my life.
I have a website now triciawoodthomas.com, my website showcases reels that I have done with RELENTLESS Studios in LA. I am working with an Acting Coach Edward Gelhaus in LA and he has definitely helped my acting skills improve a lot and I I’m so thankful to have his guidance and skills to help on my acting journey.

Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 576 - Phil King - Miscarriages
PHIL KING OFFERS HOPE AMIDST LOSS
WITH POIGNANT 
 
‘MISCARRIAGES’
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Unveiling one of his most emotive and powerful singles yet, acclaimed singer/songwriter and worship leader Phil King bows “Miscarriages” today. Written and produced by King with children’s choir and string arrangements by Tyler Michael Smith, “Miscarriages” aims to bring comfort to grieving parents while serving as an important reminder that earthly loss is only temporal. 
 
King, a father of twins, was moved to pen the poignant ballad upon witnessing multiple families in his own circle experience the heartbreak of miscarriage. “After grieving with some good friends who lost a child in the womb, we learned that another couple was pregnant with twins," he explains. "We were overjoyed to celebrate with them, but then my wife received a call with more devastating news—they had lost their ‘Baby B,’ a reference to the second child conceived in a twin pregnancy. In our journey of becoming twin parents, ‘Baby B’ would have been our son. Hearing this news and imagining the pain of losing our own son is what set me on course to compose ‘Miscarriages.’”
 
“After I wrote the song, I sent it to both couples with the intent of bringing comfort to them,” King shares. “Along with their reactions, and after playing it for a few others, I decided that with all the other millions of stories of miscarriages out there and so few songs on the subject, this one needed to be available for anyone to hear.”  
 
He adds, “In Heaven, families are reunited every day. My hope is that ‘Miscarriages’ reassures parents with the truth that their baby is not actually lost. Rather, their child is safe in Heaven with Jesus, waiting for them on the other side of eternity. I hope this knowledge will prevail in the hearts and minds of people who have struggled with the grief of miscarriage as they listen.”  
 
A pro-life advocate, King performed his anthem “Not Forgotten” with GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter Francesca Battistelli before 20,000 people at Focus on the Family’s 2019 “Alive From New York” gathering. Featuring 4D ultrasound footage projected on screens in Times Square, the event underscored the undeniable scientific evidence that a baby in the womb is fully human, fully alive and fully worthy of protection. 
 
“Miscarriages” is King’s second single of the year, arriving on the heels of “Heal Our Land.” A fervent prayer for America which released prior to last month’s Presidential Inauguration, the song is a plea for peace, spiritual transformation and personal revival in the wake of change, tension and new beginnings.
